The use of silicone based materials has been a complex and controversial issue in the automotive industry. Anecdotally, there are many stories about automotive plants banning silicones from their production areas. This is mainly due to surface contamination from either liquid silicones or from volatile, low molecular weight siloxanes liberated from other silicone-based compounds used in the vicinity. These are capable of binding to surfaces to be painted. This leads to poor paint wetting and disastrous “orange peel” problems. This is linked to the low critical surface tension of wetting they induce after adsorption. Consequently, the use of non-silicone thermal interface materials is highly desired in the automotive industry. It is for this reason that T-Global has developed TG-NSP-25, which is a non-silicone putty material.
