Keratherm Standard Films - MH&W Thermal Products

Kerafol LogoFlexible films consisting of a silicone elastomer filled with various thermally conductive ceramic materials. All film types are electrically insulating. For improved handling, the films are also available with fiberglass reinforcement. The standard films adapt to the component surface. Small irregularities can be evened out by using only minimal contact pressures. The good thermal properties of these films guarantee optimum heat transport to the heat sink and at the same time good electrical insulation properties. All Keratherm standard films are UL tested.

    • good thermal conductivity 1.8 W/mK
    • high electrical insulation 26 kV/mm

    Keratherm Pink 86/50

    especially suitable for power modules in which large quantities of heat need to be conducted. The foils are ideally suited for uses in which high reliability must be guaranteed and has been implemented a million times over in industries such as radio, television, computer and medical.

    • high thermal conductivity 3.5 W/mK
    • good electrical insulation 7.0 kV/mm

    Keratherm 86/60

    high thermal conductivity combined with a lower hardness allows for use in a wide range of applications. The foils have high isolation properties and come without glass fiber reinforcement.

    • high thermal conductivity 4.5 W/mK
    • very good electrical insulation 20.0 kV/mm

    Keratherm Red 86/82

    particularly suitable for applications in the high-power area. It possesses excellent thermal and electrical properties. Because of its good performance it can be reliably used in densely packed electronic applications.

    • excellent thermal conductivity 6.5 W/mK
    • good electrical insulation 4.0 kV/mm

    Keratherm Brown 70/50

    designed for low cost applications. The combination of good thermal conductivity and high electrical isolation in this series makes the foils a cost effective and good performing solution for various standard applications.
