CoolPoly®
E & D-series Elastomers
CoolPoly Thermally Conductive Elastomers exhibit thermal
conductivity unsurpassed in a flexible, compliant and soft touch
material.
Conventional elastomers are thermal insulators. The thermal
conductivity of CoolPoly Elastomers range from 1.0 W/mK to 15 W/mK.
This exceptional level of thermal conductivity in an elastomer is 5
to 75 times the value of conventional elastomers. The optimal level
of thermal conductivity for any application depends on the power
input, size of the part and the convection conditions. Cool polymers
technical service staff can help engineers determine the appropriate
materials for their application and heat transfer requirements.
CoolPoly Elastomers are available in either electrically conductive
(E-Series) or electrically insulative
(D-Series) grades. The
CoolPoly E-Series Thermally Conductive Elastomers exhibit electrical
conductivity in the range appropriate for shielding electromagnetic
and radio frequency energy. The CoolPoly D-Series Thermally
Conductive Elastomers isolate electrical energy and have a
resistivity in the range 1012
to 1016 ohm-cm.
CoolPoly Elastomers are thermoplastics and can be molded to
3-dimensional net shape objects with conventional injection molding
equipment. Other thermoplastic processing (e.g. extrusion) is also
possible. Elastomers are typically characterized by their hardness
or Shore durometer. CoolPoly Elastomers range in hardness from Shore
A 40 (similar to a soft eraser) to Shore D 80 (similar to a bowling
ball). CoolPoly Elastomers are available in bag, drum, and Gaylord
packaging.
CoolPoly Elastomers are used to transfer heat and therefore must
withstand the application temperature. CoolPoly Elastomers have been
used in applications up to 180°C. CoolPoly E-Series Elastomers are
characterized by their hardness or Shore durometer in addition to
their general thermal, mechanical and physical properties.
