Creative Materials Intros Flexible Thermally Conductive Epoxy Adhesive
July 13, 2017 | Creative Materials, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Creative Materials, Inc., has introduced 127-31, a unique extremely flexible one-component thermally conductive epoxy adhesive. This 100% solids epoxy adhesive, encapsulant, and potting compound, is electrically insulating, with a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W/mK. 127-31 features thermal stability up to 325°C and excellent chemical resistance.
Unlike conventional epoxy systems, 127-31 can absorb stress when bonding mismatched CTE substrates with low-temperature curing, and offers a 4-day pot life at room temperature. This epoxy also demonstrates elastomeric properties. 127-31 is particularly useful when applications call for silicone-free products.
Typical applications include, printed circuit board fabrication, power management, advanced materials composites, LED attachment, and heat sink bonding.
Products from Creative Materials are used in a variety of applications that provide cost-effective design solutions for demanding production requirements. Creative Materials is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. The company has extensive experience in the functional adhesive, ink and coating industry, combining technical expertise with nimble production capabilities, enabling a reduction in time-to-market for new product applications. We specialize in custom-developed products. We ask our customers to challenge us to develop the right product for their application.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
