To meet the growing demand for high performance IMS materials that deliver an ever-increasing level of thermal performance, reliability and quality, particularly for automotive and other LED lighting and DC power conversion applications, Ventec has invested in new manufacturing equipment at its Jiangyin, China facility. Following a successful initial trial period, the latest production line, which includes a Resin Coater, automated build up, aluminum surface treating equipment, and an inline High Pot Tester, is now fully operational for mass production.

Along with the significant capacity expansion, the latest investment also ensures enhanced production capability for Ventec’s VT-4B family of thermally conductive IMS, which deliver an unprecedented level of thermal performance through their established ceramic-filled halogen-free dielectric technology. Multilayered constructions are made possible through resin-coated foil and resin-coated film options.
