The global ink and organic pigment giant Japan DIC Co., Ltd. released an alumina filler for the heat dissipation of electronic equipment, which will be officially launched in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe and the United States in January 2021. Parts manufacturer. This is also regarded as a landmark event of its transition from the traditional organic business field to the electronic inorganic materials field.
In the automotive and electronics fields, with the popularization of driverless, electric vehicles, connectivity, sharing, and the next-generation communication standard 5G, the development trend of parts is both miniaturization and high performance. At the same time, the importance of how to solve the heat generated inside the equipment has gradually become prominent. Alumina material has high thermal stability and is currently a popular heat dissipation filler for automotive and electronic equipment parts. In order to give the resin better thermal conductivity, it is designed to use a large amount of fillers when mixing, but the use of a large amount of fillers will reduce the moldability and also reduce the mechanical strength of the molded product.
This plate-shaped alumina is called "CeramNex™ AP10". The alumina filler developed through an original synthesis method is different from ordinary alumina fillers with granular or irregular shapes. It has "high crystallinity" and high aspect ratio, showing " "Plate shape", this is the most distinctive feature of the product. Therefore, compared with other shapes of alumina fillers, the product can be added in a small amount and has higher strength, thereby contributing to weight reduction. In addition, since the surface smoothness of the additive is improved, it can also be widely used in fields other than the above-mentioned applications.
Regarding the launch of this alumina thermally conductive filler, DIC Group explained that it is promoting the "NewPillar Creation" program, which aims to create a new business that can respond to social issues and social changes. The company looks forward to using this alumina filler as a starting point to join the development of inorganic materials in the basic technology center and expand its business to new areas where the existing basic technology has not yet been involved.
