3M Thermally Conductive Tape
Thermal Conductive Tapes are specifically designed to provide a permanent adhesive solution of attaching 2 surfaces while also providing a thermally conductive interface material between different surfaces or components within the device.
Thermally conductive tape is commonly used in applications that require thermal interface transfer solutions for devices such as heat sinks, LED’s, heat spreaders, power transistors, and other devices that produce sizable amounts of heat. Thermally conductive tapes provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is combined with thermally conductive ceramic fillers that bond quickly and effectively to numerous substrates.
For advanced customization, 3M Conductive Tapes can be easily die-cut into intricate shapes and deliver good dielectric force with extreme temperature adhesion. These thin, yet highly effective, tapes will provide proficient thermal transfer over the surface area of your application. Additionally, all 3M conductive tapes feature an elite performance acrylic adhesive and conductive ceramic elements that provide a tremendously dependable and proven adhesion and easy thermal interface.

Thermal Conductive Tape Adhesion Process
Before installing any style of 3M thermal conductive tape, the installation area should be clean and dry to ensure optimal thermal performance. For the cleanest possible surface, isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) should be applied with a lint-free wipe or swab, which will remove any surface contamination such as dust or fingerprints. The use of glass cleaners or other oily denatured alcohol products is not recommended. However, more powerful solvents such as acetone, MEK or toluene may be necessary to remove dingy or higher contaminated areas. Furthermore, the thermal conductive tape should be installed in temperatures ranging from 0° to 40° C for improved adhesion.
The thermal conductive tape should then be firmly attached to the application with the use of a squeegee or enhanced finger pressure to ensure that all the air escapes and a strong bound is formed. The substrates can then be attached and bonded through compression to allow for the appropriate wetting of the substrate surfaces.
