Thermal interface material (TIM) for power electronics modules including IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs, and battery management systems (BMS).
Heat dissipation in LED lighting arrays where minimal mechanical stress and long-term reliability are critical.
Thermal bridging between heat sinks and ASICs, GPUs, or FPGAs in compact 5G infrastructure and edge computing hardware.
Interface solution for automotive ADAS sensors, radar units, and onboard chargers requiring vibration resilience and thermal stability.
Gap-filling in aerospace avionics enclosures where outgassing compliance and low volatility are mandatory.

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for DOWSIL TC-7004?
A: The CAS Registry Number for DOWSIL TC-7004 is 1365743-47-0.
Q2: What is the recommended application thickness and dispensing method?
A: Optimal bond line thickness is 0.1–0.5 mm. It can be applied manually (e.g., spatula), semi-automatically (pneumatic dispensing), or via automated jetting systems calibrated for medium-viscosity pastes.
Q3: How does TC-7004 compare to TC-5000 or TC-5500 series?
A: TC-7004 offers lower modulus and higher conformability than TC-5000/5500, making it ideal for ultra-low-clamp-force applications. Unlike those curable gels, TC-7004 remains permanently non-curing and reworkable.
Q4: Is TC-7004 compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH SVHC regulations?
A: Yes — TC-7004 is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant and contains no substances on the current REACH SVHC Candidate List (as of Q2 2024).
Q5: Does TC-7004 exhibit extractables or migration under thermal aging?
A: No significant migration or extractables observed per IPC-TM-650 2.6.21 (solvent extraction) after 1000 hrs at 150 °C; filler stabilization prevents bleed-out.
