SilCool* TIG 210 BX thermal management grease from Momentive Performance Materials provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for automotive electronic applications.
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — NOVEMBER 6, 2008
Thermal management is becoming increasingly important for automotive electronics as under-the-hood temperatures continue to rise and the amount of electronics is growing. Hybrid cars are particularly affected. Engineers are looking for cost competitive thermal management solutions that can remove the heat from increasingly sensitive electronic components. Thermal greases are often considered but due to concerns about “bleed-out” and long term reliability, engineers may end up selecting higher cost options. Momentive Performance Materials recently introduced SilCool TIG 210 BX, a thermally conductive grease that provides “low bleed” and low thermal resistance for applications where thin bond lines are required. In addition to thermal conductivity (2.1 W/mK), this material offers stable performance, which is typically required for automotive applications, such as an engine control unit. The images (MPMPR025a) show the “low bleed” performance and the thermal shock stability of a 45° mounted test specimen.

Silicone RTV Technologies for Next Generation Automotive Applications
ABSTRACT
Environmental pressures and increasing fuel prices have triggered a number of major developments in the automotive industry. To achieve better fuel economy and emissions control, engineers have been evaluating replacement of mechanical systems with more efficient electronic alternatives. New regulations have provided incentives for industry developments such as hybrid cars, the use of bio-fuel, clean diesel and fuel cell technology. To meet the European directives for "end of life vehicle", design for disassembly and re-use are also increasingly in focus.

Momentive präsentiert optimierte voll fluorierte LSR Familie
LEVERKUSEN, DEUTSCHLAND — 14. OKTOBER 2008
Momentive Performance Materials stellte heute seine neue, weiter verbesserte FFSL 70x1-Serie voll fluorierter Flüssigsilikonkautschuke (FFSLs) vor. Die Produktfamilie vereint die hervorragende Eignung für unpolare Medien wie Kraftstoffe, Schmierstoffe und Öle mit der Möglichkeit, auf vollautomatischem LSR- Equipment und Kaltkanaltechnik mit kurzen Zykluszeiten große Stückzahlen nacharbeitsfrei und wirtschaftlich herzustellen. Die Medienbeständigkeiten und die physikalischen Eigenschaften entsprechen dem gängiger Fluorfestsilikone (FVMQ). Im Verarbeitungsprozess gewährleistet das für diesen Werkstoff entwickelte Polyadditionssystem gegenüber den normalerweise peroxidisch vernetzten FVMQ Werkstoffen eine sehr viel schnellere Vernetzung. Die niedrige Viskosität sorgt zudem für die Verarbeitbarkeit nach den Prinzipien der für Massenanwendungen seit langem etablierten LSRs.

Momentive’s New SPUR+* Prepolymers Offer High Tensile Strength for Next-Generation Structural Adhesives
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — OCTOBER 9, 2008
Momentive Performance Materials will introduce two breakthrough prepolymers for industrial adhesives formulations at the Adhesive and Sealants Council’s 2008 Fall Convention & Expo in Baltimore, Maryland, October 12th to 14th, 2008. SPUR+ 3100HM prepolymer and SPUR+ 3200HM prepolymer will join Momentive’s highly successful SPUR+ family of silylated polyurethane resins. These high modulus prepolymers are excellent candidates to be considered for use as binding agents that can help formulators of structural adhesives achieve high tensile strength, without primers for most substrates, in both one- and two-part adhesive formulations.
