The story:
Krayden partnered with a company specializing in GPU, CPU, and memory liquid cooling for data centers, servers, and PCs. They were having an issue with one of their processors that was seeing a high amount of heat and required a high-quality thermal management material.
| What is the application? | Application is for data server hubs which use patented Coldplates to provide Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) to the components |
| What issues was the end-user having? | The processor was seeing a very high amount of heat and required high-quality thermal management |
| What material was used to solve the issue? | DOW TC-5026 |
| Why was the material chosen for the application? | The material was chosen because of its high density, thermal conductivity, and resistance, which provided the contact areas with exceptional heat dissipation. |
| Why did this material work better than other materials? | Processor parts had a very thin bondline. This material’s key performance feature is its ability to perform under these conditions. |
| Was this material lower cost than other materials? | No |
| Did this material improve the process? | Yes, cooling plates were not overheating and parts were not failing. |
| Savings to end-users in the cost of material or process improvement? Time, $ or both? | We significantly reduced the fail rate on parts. More consistent end products at the end of the day improved the production process. |
| What industry/market was this material used in? | Electronics manufacturing, computer processing, and server data hubs. |
