Designed to be the heat-transfer path between heat-generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices (e.g., fans, heat spreaders or heat pipes), these materials are available with a variety of characteristics.
If you’re in prototyping phase of your project, reach out to our team. We can help determine the whole thermal management assembly solution – design collaboration, thermal material sourcing, and prototyping samples.
Thermal Tapes and Heat Shield Tapes:
This range of high adhesion thin thermal tapes offers bonding strength and efficient heat dissipation for applications such as heat sink mounting and LED lighting thermal management. These thermal tapes provide excellent long term reliability, electrical insulation and flame retardant performance. 3M thermal transfer tapes are available in a variety of thicknesses to meet your most challenging thermal applications. No mess, no clips, no long cure time! Gleicher can expertly die or laser cut to your size or shape.
Thermal Tape Applications: Heat sink-Thermal Interface Attachment, Battery Thermal Management, LED Lighting Thermal Management, Heatsink-Thermal Interface-Non Bonding, Flex Bonding, Thermal Interface-Damping-Cushioning, Thin Bonding for Flex Circuit and Power Transformer Bonding to Heat Sinks, Heat Spreaders or other Cooling Devices

Thermal Heat Sink Pads:
3M also offers a line of silicone based thermal pads ranging in thermal conductivity from 1.0 W/m-K to 4.9 W/m-K. For applications using a thermal pad, the 3M Acrylic Thermal pads are slightly tacky on one side for generally acceptable assembly adhesion in many applications. 
The tack adhesion strength of the 3M Thermal Pads is sufficient for holding the product in place for assembly and use, etc. in many applications.
Specifically for LED Lighting Thermal Management, the end use design of the LED Structure/Thermal Pad/Heat Sink does require an added mechanical means of assembly to ensure long term mechanical integrity and thermal performance.
Thermal Pad Applications: Battery Thermal Management, Thermal Gap Pad, Thermal Interface-Damping-Cushioning
