Silicone Free - Keratherm

In case of concerns about silicones, Kerafol offers a ceramics-filled polyurethane film as an alternative material. Besides good thermal and outstanding electrical properties, these films are characterized by very good perforation strength. These good physical properties are achieved with an excellent price-performance ratio.

Flexible ceramic thermal conductive and isolating films Softtherm U 105 & U 200 are especially designed for silicone sensitive applications and are alternative materials to the silicone based Softtherm films. The U 105 & U 200 films have excellent electrical isolation and a very good thermal conductivity.

Possible Thickness:
U 23: 0.125mm – 0.3mm
U 80: 0.15mm – 0.3mm
U 90: 0.1mm – 0.3mm
U 105: 0.5mm – 5.0mm
U 200: 0.5mm – 4.0mm
