Graphite – innovative additive for high performance thermal conductive compounds
Press release from: GEORG H. LUH GmbH
Especially in electronic applications, thermally conductive materials become more and more important for optimising component design and performance. Using the natural mineral graphite, compounds can be transformed into highly conductive materials for electronics and other applications.
Compared to metals or metal additives in compounds, which are also common in use, graphite shows some extraordinary advantages:
Graphite is absolutely corrosion resistant even in rough environment
The heat conductivity of graphite is even higher than that of gold, if the weight difference is considered. Not necessary to mention that graphite price is only a fraction of the price of copper, silver or gold. Using conductive compounds gives a strong advantage if formability plays a role, as all plastic forming technologies can be used to achieve final shape.
The graphite specialist company Georg H. Luh GmbH has expanded their product range by a new high-conductivity graphite product GraphCond. GraphCond shows an aspect ratio which is up to twenty times higher than conventional flake graphite. This allows to create electrical and/or thermal conductivity networks in polymeric substrates even with small additive portion. As a consequence the conductivity performance of GraphCond is superior to conventional flake graphite products.
As graphite is a mineral raw material which consists only of the element carbon it is environment-friendly and nontoxic. GraphCond and other high performance graphite products are also available as masterbatch in standard base materials.
About GEORG H. LUH GmbH:
Founded in 1933, GEORG H. LUH company has gained an outstanding expertise in mineral raw materials, particularly in graphite and mica in their variety. Offering raw material at its best, the product quality is guaranteed by an own well equipped quality laboratory. Delivering to customers spread all over the world with immediate and creative solutions for their individual requests, LUH stands for a reliable and trustable raw material supply.
