MG Chemicals 8329TCS - Thermal Adhesive, High TC
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
8329TCS is a 2-part, heat-cure, thermally conductive epoxy adhesive with a 4-hour working time. It is a dark gray, smooth, thixotropic paste that cures to form a hard, durable polymer that is thermally conductive, yet electrically insulating. This thermal adhesive is used to glue heat sinks to LEDs, CPUs and other heat-generating components. 8329TCS has been designed for maximum thermal conductivity. It is highly viscous and must be mixed by hand prior to application. For a lower viscosity, use 8329TFS. For a shorter working time, use 8329TCM.
