(Photo : Bdtronic, PR084)Düsseldorf, Allemagne – Henkel a annoncé ce jour le lancement de sa dernière innovation en date dans le domaine des matériaux d’interface thermique (ou « TIM » pour Thermal Interface Material) : le produit de comblement des interstices (ou «Gap-filler» thermique) Bergquist TGF 7000 (image). La formulation de ce TIM liquide représente une importante percée technologique, en ce sens qu’elle allie efficacement une conductivité thermique élevée de 7,0 W/mK à un débit maximal possible testé à 18 grammes par seconde, soit une combinaison actuellement unique en son genre. Avec une telle possibilité de débit, le nouveau matériau s’adresse en particulier à des applications comme les systèmes d’aide à la conduite automobile (ADAS), les systèmes de transformation de puissance, les pompes électriques ou les contrôleurs électroniques, dont les puissances accrues sur des surfaces réduites des modèles actuels imposent des exigences élevées en matière de fiabilité, de conductivité thermique et de fabrication en grandes séries.

Husco succeeds in automotive applications with ULTEM resin from SABIC

Husco variable oil pump control technologies made from SABIC's ULTEM™ resin. Husco was an early innovator in variable oil pump control technologies. These products improve efficiency by allowing engines to scale their oil usage in response to driving conditions. And for over a decade now, Husco has been developing and producing solenoid valves for a wide range of cylinder deactivation applications. These valves control engine systems that turn specific cylinders on and off in order to maximize efficiency and performance.High-performance automotive component supplier Husco says it is looking forward to continuing its collaboration with SABIC as it develops new innovations for next-generation vehicles based on ULTEM resin polyetherimide (PEI).
