Thermally conductive adhesive product list

2007-09-30 by easterleggs

I've done some research and found a few products that meet my
requirements:

Loctite 384 (use with 7387 activator) -- acrylic, thermally
conductive, fast-curing, non-permanent adhesive

CHO-THERM 1641 (1 part)/1642 (2 part) -- silicone thermally conductive
adhesive, average cure time, non permanent

3M TC-2707/TC-2810 -- 2 part epoxy thermally conductive adhesive

I'd like to try the CHO-THERM, but I can't seem to find a source yet.
 I'll probably first try the Loctite since it seems to be more readily
available.  I hope this saves someone a couple of hours on Google.

Thanks,
Stephen
