Performance of Thermally Conductive Silicone in High Temperature Environment

In equipment that needs to dissipate heat, Thermally conductive silicone is a "little expert". Especially in high temperature environment, its performance directly affects the normal operation of the equipment. Today, let's talk about Thermally conductive silicone in high temperature environment.

1. Thermal conductivity under high temperature

In some industrial equipment, the operation of the machine generates a lot of heat, and the internal temperature can easily reach tens or even hundreds of degrees Celsius. At this time, Thermally conductive silicone is like a smooth "heat highway", which can quickly transfer heat to the heat dissipation device and prevent heat from accumulating inside the equipment.

2. Stability is crucial

High temperature environment is a big test for the stability of materials, and Thermally conductive silicone is no exception. Good Thermally conductive silicone will not easily deform, melt or lose viscosity at high temperature. Imagine that you apply Thermally conductive silicone between the heating chip and the heat sink. If it softens and flows at high temperature, how can it conduct heat well?

3. Reliability determines the scope of application

In the field of electronic appliances, such as power adapters and LED lamps, these devices will generate heat when working, and some have to be used in high temperature environments, such as outdoor LED street lights, which are exposed to the sun in summer. Thermally conductive silicone can ensure that they can dissipate heat normally in high temperatures and extend their service life.

4. How to choose the right Thermally conductive silicone

Look at the thermal conductivity coefficient. The higher the value, the stronger the thermal conductivity. But don't just look at this indicator. You also have to consider its high temperature resistance limit and ensure that the ambient temperature is within its tolerance range. In addition, factors such as the viscosity and curing time of silicone must also be considered comprehensively.
