The new Gap Pad 1000SF is a thermally
conductive, electrically insulating, silicone-
free polymer specially designed for
silicone-sensitive applications.The material
is ideal for applications with high standoff
and flatness tolerances. Gap Pad 1000SF is
reinforced for easy material handling and
added durability during assembly.The
material is available with a protective liner
on both sides of the material.The topside has
reduced tack for ease of handling.
Note: Resultant thickness is defined as the final gap
thickness of the application.
Thickness vs. Thermal Resistance
Gap Pad 1000SF
Resultant Thickness (mils)
1) Thirty second delay value Shore 00 hardness scale.
2) Young's Modulus, calculated using 0.01 in/min. step rate of strain with a sample size of 0.79 inch
