Meeting The Demands of Difficult Environments
Industrial applications produce high levels of electrical power and require materials that handle both high voltages and high temperatures.
The materials used in the industrial sector face a wide range of challenges and therefore need to be robust, cost-effective, and long-lasting.
A good example of this would be in the case of battery charging infrastructures, where materials need to be suitable for difficult environments.
Overcoming Challenging Conditions
In order to overcome challenges such as short circuits, high thermals, and EMI emissions, Materials Direct provides high quality, electrical insulation, and thermal management materials.
These materials protect applications and ensure they work effectively whilst withstand these demanding conditions.
Most applications will need a custom shape pad or gasket and Materials Direct offers the most renowned products on the market all available in one place.
Gap-Filling Thermal Materials
Design engineers can be confident that the trusted brands offered are specified to a high level and are tested to suit the Industrial sectors applicable.
Materials such as Kapton Polyimide films to Thermal Pads and gaskets to transfer unwanted heat such as T-Pad6500.
The materials are robust enough to withstand multiple assembly and removal with degradation to the interfacing materials.
The interface has high dielectric strength, high thermal conductivity and is robust enough to withstand mechanical pressure and re-use.
