Product Description
CoolTherm® EP-6007 BLK Epoxy Resin is a black, ceramic-filled epoxy resin formulated for use with CoolTherm® EP-6010 Hardener, Thermoset™ Hardener No. 67, or CoolTherm® EP-6252 Hardener. The resulting two-component systems are suitable for thermally conductive potting and casting and for thin-bondline attachment of semiconductors to heat sinks. Depending on the selected hardener, the cured system provides a typical thermal conductivity of 0.50–0.62 W/m·K, dielectric strength of 18.8–19.7 kV/mm, and operating-temperature capability from -55 to 130 °C.
Key features
- Thermally conductive epoxy system: Provides a typical cured thermal conductivity of 0.50–0.62 W/m·K, depending on the selected hardener.
- Electrical insulation: Delivers typical dielectric strength of 18.8–19.7 kV/mm and volume resistivity up to 2 × 1016 ohm-cm.
- Configurable processing: Supported hardener options provide working lives from 45 minutes to 8 hours at 25 °C and multiple room-temperature or heat-cure schedules.
Applications / Suitable for
- Thermally conductive potting and casting
- Thin-bondline attachment of semiconductors to heat sinks
- Applications requiring electrical insulation and non-burning properties
