Now available with an easy-to-use dispensing gun, Electrolube TCR is a single-component, highly thermally conductive RTV sealant.

Now available with an easy-to-use dispensing gun, Electrolube TCR is a single-component, highly thermally conductive RTV sealant.

Combining the properties of silicone rubber pads with those of a conventional heat transfer paste, TCR can be used between -50 and +250C, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications.

TCR is applied between high-temperature components and heatsinks to ensure rapid heat transfer.

A new dispensing system uses a highly controllable gun to ensure accurate and efficient placement.

With a thermal conductivity of 2W/mK, components can operate at thermal equilibrium, ensuring uniform performance throughout the temperature range.

Maximum continuous operating temperature is 200C, with a 250C peak.

TCR has a tensile strength of 2MPa, and the product's high bond strength and good electrical insulation characteristics allow use prior to soldering for surface mount components.

These properties mean that TCR is particularly suitable to engineering applications, where its noncorrosive features are of critical importance.

TCR remains flexible and elastic at high temperatures and, as a 100% solids material, is solvent-free and low odour.

It is available from Electrolube in 75ml syringes.
