Technical Data Sheet
Thermally Conductive Epoxy Adhesive
Description
8329TCM is a thermally conductive two-part epoxy adhesive. It is dark grey, smooth, viscous, thixotropic,
and bonds well to a wide variety of substrates.
This product is used to bond heat sinks, LEDs, and other heat-generating components in electronic
assemblies.
8329TCM has been designed for maximum thermal conductivity with a high viscosity. For a lower viscosity,
use 8329TFM. For a faster working life, use 8329TCF. For a longer working life, use 8329TCS.
