Product Introduction
DOWSIL™ TC-5288 is a blue-colored, solvent-free thermal interface material (TIM) designed for efficient heat dissipation in high-performance electronics. Its flowable formulation allows easy application and thin bond line formation (<0.007mm at 40 psi), ensuring optimal thermal transfer from heat-generating components to heat sinks. The non-curing, oven-free process reduces production complexity, while its blue hue enables precise visual alignment during assembly. With exceptional thermal conductivity (2.9 W/m·K) and ultra-low thermal resistance, this material is ideal for demanding thermal management applications.
