Detailed Product Explanations and Applications


GFTP-200 LD

Overview: GFTP-200 LD is a grey pad that offers low density and excellent thermal conductivity of 2.0 W/m·K. It features a hardness rating of 30-50 Shore 00, making it suitable for various thermal management applications.

Differences: Compared to other pads, GFTP-200 LD has a lower thermal conductivity, making it more suitable for less demanding applications.

Applications: Ideal for consumer electronics and lightweight devices where thermal performance is needed without the bulk.

Tips: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Use this pad in environments where high thermal dissipation is required.

GFTP-300 LD

Overview: GFTP-300 LD is a yellow pad designed for high thermal performance with a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W/m·K. It has a hardness rating of 40-70 Shore 00, making it versatile for various industrial applications.

Differences: This pad offers better thermal conductivity than GFTP-200 LD, making it suitable for applications requiring more efficient heat dissipation.

Applications: Recommended for automotive and computing applications where heat management is critical.

Tips: Choose this pad for applications where the temperature may fluctuate significantly. Ensure proper alignment during installation for optimal performance.

GFTP-300LP

Overview: GFTP-300LP is another yellow pad that offers a lower density of 1.6 g/cc, maintaining a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W/m·K. This pad is ideal for compact electronic devices.

Differences: Compared to GFTP-300 LD, GFTP-300LP has a significantly lower density, making it lighter and easier to apply in tight spaces.

Applications: Suitable for SSDs, memory modules, and networking devices where space is a constraint but thermal performance is still crucial.

Tips: Use in scenarios where minimizing weight is essential. Apply with care to avoid air pockets that could reduce thermal efficiency.
