What is Double Sided Thermal Tape
GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape is a double-coated adhesive tape with excellent thermal conductivity and high adhesive strength. It is good for applications without heat-cure conditions and screw or clip mounting designs. Additionally, its low molecular content can be a suitable solution for silicone-sensitive applications.
Double Sided Thermal Tape Properties
Superior thermal conductivity: GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape features high thermal conductivity (1.2 W/m.K), efficiently transferring heat from the heating element to achieve rapid heat dissipation.
High insulation compatibility: You can safely use GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape in electronic products because of its insulating properties.
Strong bonding strength: GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape provides a strong bond to a variety of product surfaces.
Easy application: All you need to do is simply press for bonding; no external hardware (screws, clips, etc.) is required.
Easy release: You can remove GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape for rework or subsequent repairs without damaging your components.
No curing required: GALLOP INNOTEK provides double-sided thermal tape sheet, die-cut/kiss-cut parts, or roll forms. They do not require curing.
Cost-effective: GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape reduces your costs compared to heat-curing adhesives.
Temperature resistance: GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape can operate at temperatures from -40 to 120 degrees Celsius without affecting its performance.
Function of Double Sided Thermal Tape
Fixed Elements
GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape is primarily used for fixing components, while also providing sealing and cushioning. So if your product is subject to shocks and jerks, it’s the right tape for the job.
Heat Transfer
GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape fills surface gaps and unevenness and fits tightly to the component surface. This achieves efficient heat transfer, extends the product’s life, and enhances its reliability.
Double Sided Thermal Tape Structure
- Adhesive Layer: The adhesive layer of the tape is used to secure the components. Double-sided thermal tape features two adhesive layers for secure, double-sided fixation.
- Substrate Layer: The substrate layer of double-sided thermal tape is composed of a thermally conductive material, which provides it with thermal conductivity. It is usually made of glass fibre cloth, which can resist stretching and winding. You can choose tapes with different thicknesses of the base layer depending on the application.
- Protective lining: To prevent adhesion and failure of the tape during storage or transport, a release material is used to cover the adhesive layer. This release material can be easily peeled off during use.
Double Sided Thermal Tape Applications
Electronic Equipment
GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape not only holds components tightly in place but also maintains the stable operation of electronic devices by providing superior heat dissipation in tight spaces. It allows you to attach heat sinks to CPUs, GPUs, and other electronic components.
Automotive Industry
Automotive engines, sensors, exhaust systems, displays, and wireless charging components all generate heat when in use. If not properly managed, this heat can affect the car’s performance and even cause damage to the components. GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape features excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to vibration, making it ideal for the installation of radiators and thermal insulation materials. GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape has excellent thermal conductivity and vibration resistance.
Electric Appliance
You can use GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tape is used for bonding condensation tubes, insulation panels, and displays of refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and other home appliances. It not only provides strong bonding for your products but also dissipates heat efficiently.
Building Industry
GALLOP INNOTEK double-sided thermal tapes efficiently attach insulation to walls, roofs, and floors. They eliminate the need for drilling, welding, curing, and drying, ensuring the integrity of the material’s surface while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, it offers some resistance to corrosion and water.
Thermal paste is a paste that needs to be mixed and applied to the bonding surface. It is very fluid and needs to be cured at the time of application. Cured thermal paste is very strong and difficult to dismantle for reworking or repair. Double sided thermal tape is solid, simpler to work with, does not require curing and can be reworked.
Dust, oil and some chemical solvents may degrade the performance of double sided thermal tape, so you should clean the bonding surface before use. The shelf life of the double sided thermal tapel, without consideration of liner adhesion (which is often not critical for manual assembly processing), is recommended at 12 months from date of manufacture at a maximum continuous storage temperature of 60°C.
