1. Product Overview

DOWSIL™ TC-4551 CV is a two-part silicone-based thermally conductive gap filler with a thermal conductivity of 5.2 W/m·K. It cures at room temperature or with heat acceleration to form a soft, compressible elastomer that ensures reliable heat dissipation. The formulation provides long-term stability under thermal cycling up to 150°C, low volatility, and strong dielectric insulation. It maintains vertical position after curing, requires no post-cure, and is suitable for confined geometries without exothermal reaction. Designed for robust cooling in automotive and high-reliability electronics, it combines thermal management with vibration and stress relief.


2. Applications

  • Cooling solution for PCB-mounted automotive control units (engine, transmission modules)

  • Heat transfer from electronic modules to heat sinks or housings

  • Thermal interface in environments with high cycling stress and extended operating life

  • Situations demanding compressible, low-resistance gap fillers for stable long-term performance
