6. FAQ
What is Temperature Control Adhesive?
Temperature control adhesive is a special adhesive, it can not only bond the material together, but also has the characteristics of adjusting the temperature. This adhesive, through a special formulation, can affect the transfer of heat while bonding, for example in application scenarios where heat dissipation or insulation is required.
What is the difference between temperature control adhesive and ordinary adhesive?
The main function of ordinary adhesives is to bond materials, focusing on mechanical properties such as bond strength. In addition to the bonding function, the temperature control adhesive can also control the conduction, convection or radiation of heat. Its formulation contains some special ingredients for temperature regulation functions, such as adding materials with good thermal conductivity to enhance heat dissipation, or adding insulation materials to reduce heat transfer.
Temperature control glue How to achieve temperature control?
If it is a heat-dissipating temperature control adhesive, a high thermal conductivity filler is added inside, such as metal powder (silver, copper, etc.) or high thermal conductivity ceramic particles. When the adhesive layer is located between the heating part and the cooling part, these fillings can quickly conduct heat away from the heating source. If it is a thermal insulation type of temperature control adhesive, it contains a material with low thermal conductivity, which forms a thermal barrier and prevents the transfer of heat.
How do temperature control adhesives respond to different thermal environments?
In high temperature environments, the high temperature resistant components of the temperature control adhesive (such as special polymers and high temperature resistant fillers) can maintain the stability of the adhesive layer, prevent the adhesive layer from softening or decomposing, while continuing to perform temperature control functions according to its heat dissipation or insulation design. In a low temperature environment, the flexibility and resistance to low temperature embrittlement of the glue make it work normally, maintain the bond and temperature control effect.
What is the thermal conductivity range of the temperature control adhesive?
The thermal conductivity of heat dissipating temperature control adhesive can range from 1-10W /(m·K) or even higher, depending on its specific formulation and application needs. The thermal conductivity of thermal insulation temperature control adhesive is usually very low, which can be as low as 0.01-0.1W /(m·K).
What is the bond strength of temperature control adhesive?
The bond strength varies depending on the formula and the material to be bonded. In general, it is able to provide sufficient bond strength to meet most application requirements. For example, for metal-metal bonding, the shear bond strength may reach 10-50 mpa; For plastic-plastic bonding, it may be between 5-30MPa.
What materials can the temperature control glue bond to?
It can bond a variety of materials, including metals (such as aluminum, copper, steel, etc.), plastics (such as ABS, PVC, PP, etc.), ceramics and composite materials. However, for the bonding of different materials, appropriate pretreatment of the bonding surface may be required to ensure the best bonding effect.
How effective is the bond for special materials (such as low surface energy materials)?
For low-surface energy materials like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the bonding of temperature-controlled adhesives can be challenging. It is usually necessary to perform special treatment on the surface of low surface energy materials, such as plasma treatment, chemical etching, etc., to improve the wettability and bonding effect of the adhesive.
