Loctite Loctite 315 + 7386 Thermal Adhesive

The Loctite thermally conductive adhesive kit is a bonding kit perfect for the thermal coupling of electrical and electronic components, or between any surface where thermal conductivity or heat dissipation is vital. This thermally conductive kit features a 1-part self-shimming thermally conductive adhesive, with an additional activator used to speed up the reaction. the self-shimming properties to ensure a controlled electrical insulation whilst maintaining thermal conductivity. This versatile kit offers a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and is perfect as a replacement for adhesive tapes, mechanical clips and epoxies.

• Adhesive with syringe for easy application

Thermal adhesives are a type of thermally conductive adhesive used to secure heat sinks and electronic components. Thermal adhesives are available in a number of mediums such as thermal paste, glue, tape and more. They work by creating a strong bond for heatsinks or electrical parts commonly via a two-part epoxy resin with thermal conductivity capabilities, drawing heat away from a device. Thermal adhesives are used in a variety of industries and applications such as:

This kit from Loctite includes an adhesive syringe applicator, with an additional activator to enhance the process.

Before applying, ensure surfaces are clean and free from grease, dust and contaminants. In order to achieve an optimum strength bond, apply the activator to one of the surfaces to be joined, and apply a thin layer of the adhesive to the other and press the two components together.

Thermal adhesives such as grease and pastes can be removed if required using a combination of a thermal adhesive remover (or high concentrate rubbing alcohol) and a lint free micro fibre cloth. Please note special care must be taken when removing thermal compounds and protective clothing must be worn at all times.

The maximum operating temperature of this thermally conductive sealant is +150°C.
