Liquid silicone gel. Liquid silicone is a material with good thermal conductivity, high thermal conductivity coefficient, and can effectively conduct heat. Liquid silicone is commonly used in radiators, heat dissipation pastes, and other applications that require good heat dissipation performance. TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane material with elasticity and toughness, and TPU itself does not have good heat dissipation performance.
There are many silicone products on the market, such as silicone grease, thermal conductive silicone, silicone heat sinks, and our liquid silicone. Does liquid silicone affect heat dissipation? So we need to first understand the concept of "heat dissipation", because air is a poor conductor of heat, so a medium is needed between the heat source and the radiator to squeeze the air out of the contact surface.
Liquid silicone is a type of silicone material with fluidity, mainly synthesized from silicone oil, accelerators, and some reinforcing agents. Liquid silica gel is characterized by rapid vulcanization, excellent tear resistance, resilience, yellowing resistance, thermal stability, heat resistance and aging resistance. Liquid silicone also has non-toxic, heat-resistant, and high recovery properties, suitable for injection molding processes, and can be used to produce various infant and toddler products, medical supplies, and electronic products.
Many electronic products use liquid silicone for heat dissipation because its performance is more suitable compared to other materials. Conventional liquid silicone heat dissipation can achieve a thermal conductivity of around 0.8, and if used professionally for heat dissipation performance, it can be even higher. So, is liquid silicone good at heat dissipation?
Liquid silicone is a new material made by mixing multiple materials and belongs to high-tech materials. With the continuous improvement of performance, the types of liquid silicone have been popularized to thousands, and their application fields are becoming more and more extensive; It has spread to many areas of our daily lives.
And electronic liquid silicone is just one of the uses of liquid silicone. In addition to the heat dissipation performance of the liquid silicone itself, other properties of the liquid silicone are also highly required; Liquid silicone is an environmentally friendly material that does not release materials that pollute the environment during use. Liquid silicone also does not have corrosiveness and does not emit acidic or alkaline components, so it will not damage electronic products; For example, the epoxy resin commonly used to encapsulate loose parts is a hazardous chemical that is flammable and explosive, posing significant safety hazards during transportation and storage.
Additionally, the epoxy resin can generate high temperatures, around 80 degrees Celsius, during operation and use, which can easily damage some components with poor temperature resistance; Secondly, after the solidification of liquid silicone, the body is soft and will not be displaced or damaged during transportation due to impact. It is also convenient for disassembly in the later stage, which can effectively protect the components from earthquakes.
