SARCON® Silicone Putty is a highly conformable, thermally conductive, nonflammable interface materials. It’s thermal performance is equal to our most highly rated GR45A and GR80A Silicone Gap Filler Pads.

Four formulations are available, PG45A, GR-Pm, PG80A and XR-Um. The specifications for each can be found in the chart below. The surface consistency is excellent for filling small air gaps and uneven mating surfaces, making reliable contact with various shapes and sizes of components.

  • Very low compression force at high compression rate
  • Suitable for gaps as small as 0.3mm or less
  • UL94 V-0 certified
  • Available in three formulations

Sarcon® XR-Um is the highest thermal conductive putty type silicone sheet. The material’s putty nature greatly contributes to reduction of contact resistance and consequent ly to its low thermal resistance. It is a customer friendly material due to its easy application by printing.

Sarcon® XR-Um-AL has one surface with aluminum film, which enables users to remove the carrier film after installation (before operation) with no-pullout effect.

  • Putty nature enables low contact thermal resistance
  • Low Molecular Siloxane content is very low
  • Has a flame retardancy of UL specification 94 V-0
