Thermafoil® TIM Thermal Interface Materials from EGC Enterprises
The most cost-effective solution to tough thermal management problems.

[The Advantages of Anisotropic Material]

Due to the natural graphite composition of Thermafoil® TIM, the thermal conductivity is very directional or "anisotropic." Along its length and width (x-y direction) the thermal conductivity is 120-200 W/mK, or about 20-30 times greater than through the material thickness (z direction). This unique directional property leads to numerous advantages in heat management. Thermafoil will dissipate or spread the heat resulting from irregular loading, surface distortion and uneven temperature distribution. In addition, the anisotropic behavior of Thermafoil® TIM reduces temperature variation between the point source and the heat sink. Thus, you achieve the maximum benefit of the heat sink. Finally, the anisotropy of Thermafoil® TIM enhances the area of effective heat transfer. The end result is a cooler operation and improved efficiency of your point heat source and fewer temperature-related failures. No other interface material can offer the thermal performance advantage across the entire heat sink as Thermafoil® TIM.
