Phase change materials

During warm-up over phase change temperature, phase change materials (PCM) start filling up surface-specific roughnesses and/or unevenesses and expel any air enclosures from microstructures.

Convex and concave surface structures and stack up tolerances can widely be compensated by the use of these materials. Their thixotropic nature prevents run-out. The thicknesses are characterized by high process reliability what among others makes these films ideal for replacing thermal greases.

Options:

Aluminum sheets with phase-change coating
Phase-change films
Printable and dispensable components

Benefits:

Very low thermal resistance due to low pressure needs
Silicone-free
Easy installation
Reliability of material layer thickness vs. thermal paste
Ideal instead of thermal paste

Availability:

Sheet or roll
Kiss-cut parts
Die-cut parts
Without or with adhesiveness to cover all over or with partial adhesiveness
Different thicknesses of phase change coating
Printable compounds in cartridges

SMT

For more than 20 years SMT is the designated specialist for thermal processes with more than 5000 sold units. Know-how easily could be purchased at SMT.

Progress, innovative technology that takes the preservation and protection of resources and the environment into consideration is the philosophy of SMT. Not without reason is SMT the manufacturer of the most energy-saving and easiest to maintain reflow soldering systems in Germany, systems where heat transfer is effected exclusively via a positively-driven convection system.

The portfolio consist from extremely small systems for laboratories and development, via medium-sized units and on down to large systems for the industrial production of electronic modules. Customer-related wishes are always taken into consideration and so flow into our company as part of the continuous improvement process.

Milestones:
