Ventec Expands Thermal Interface Materials Range
August 29, 2019 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of two new thermally conductive thin isolation foil materials to its range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) under its distribution agreement with EMI Thermal.
Initially for the European market, Ventec teamed up with EMI Thermal to provide a range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) that are a perfect complement to Ventec’s IMS material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB’s. The range of materials distributed through Ventec, which includes double sided thermal tape, electrical insulators, natural graphite and void fillers, has now been expanded with the addition of two new UL94 V-0-recognized thin isolation/thermal conductive foil materials.
T-P INS 2 and T-P INS 3 A0/A1 are high-performance electrically insulating, thermally conductive interface materials that offer thermal conductivity of 1.8-3W/mK. Further features include high tensile strength (≥0.8-1.0) designed to prevent cut through and electrical shorts, low thermal impedance (0.16˚C in2/W), no viscosity and a thickness of 0.18-0.30mm, making them the ideal material choice for access control, computer and network & communications applications including SMPS, telecom devices, visual devices, networking products, LCD-TV, notebook PC’s, PC’s, etc. Full material specifications can be found at http://www.ventec-group.com/products/thermal-interface-material/.
To offer even greater value to customers, Ventec continues to maintain and build upon its one-stop-service solution for PCB materials to the European PCB and electronics industry, by offering a range of third party products that complement its own extensive product range, including flexible laminates (ThinFlex/Arisawa) and a full range of PCB production consumable products covering standard and specialty (Centrum & Glossback) drill materials, copper foils including ACF.

In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
IDTechEx Highlights Recyclable Materials for PCBs
04/10/2025 | IDTechExConventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is wasteful, harmful to the environment and energy intensive. This can be mitigated by the implementation of new recyclable materials and technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize electronics manufacturing.
Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
