Keratherm Gap Fillers - MH&W Thermal Products

Keratherm Softtherm

Keratherm Softtherm gap fillers are filled and highly elastic. Their good compression behavior and good forming capabilities guarantee that rather large component height differences can be compensated for. They are electrically insulating and possess gradual heat conductivity. Depending on the type, the sheets have varying self-adhesive behaviors and some are available with adhesive coatings. Softtherm films should not be compressed beyond 30% of the original thickness, because this may cause the films to bleed out.
