Thermally conductive encapsulants: advanced solutions for thermal management

Table of Contents

In industries where thermal management is critical, reliable solutions are key to achieving long-term performance and protecting sensitive components. At DGE Specialty Chemicals, we are proud to offer DOWSIL™ Thermally Conductive Encapsulants—engineered silicone-based materials that deliver outstanding protection, heat dissipation, and versatility across various applications.

What are thermally conductive encapsulants?

Thermally conductive encapsulants are flowable materials designed to facilitate high-volume automated production. They serve as a lightweight, flexible alternative to pre-cured pads, providing efficient thermal coupling for electronic components while ensuring robust protection.

Key benefits of thermally conductive encapsulants

  • Low Viscosity: Easy application for streamlined production processes.
  • Dual Functionality: Combine heat dissipation with long-term mechanical protection.
  • Durable Across Extreme Conditions: Resistant to shock, oxidation, and moisture, and performs consistently from -40ºC to 200ºC.
  • Primerless Options: Simplifies the application process.

These encapsulants are designed to meet the most demanding requirements in automotive, solar, power, industrial, and aviation applications.

Applications of thermally conductive encapsulants

From the rapidly evolving electric vehicle industry to high-performance solar panels, these encapsulants are widely used in:

  • Automotive components like inverters, ECUs, and OCBs
  • Solar energy systems, including panels and power inverters
  • Industrial electronics for power modules.
  • Aviation systems requiring lightweight and reliable thermal management solutions.
