Dow DOWSIL TC-7006 Thermally Conductive Putty

Dow DOWSIL TC-7006 Thermally Conductive Putty is a soft, non-slumping silicone-based thermal interface material designed for low-pressure applications. It offers excellent thermal conductivity (1.5 W/mK), wide operating temperature range (−50°C to 200°C), and superior conformability to uneven surfaces. Ideal for EV battery modules, power electronics, and LED lighting where reworkability and long-term reliability are critical.

Features Of Dow DOWSIL TC-7006 Thermally Conductive Putty

  1. Ultra-soft, non-curing silicone putty with excellent conformability to irregular surfaces and low interfacial resistance.

  2. High thermal conductivity (1.5 W/m·K) achieved via optimized ceramic filler system without compromising compressibility.

  3. No pump-out or dry-out under thermal cycling — maintains stable thermal interface performance over extended service life.

  4. Non-slumping formulation enables reliable vertical and overhead application without support fixtures.

  5. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and UL 94 V-0 rated for enhanced safety in electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL TC-7006 Thermally Conductive Putty

  1. Thermal interface material (TIM) between power semiconductors (e.g., IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs) and heat sinks in EV inverters and onboard chargers.

  2. Gap-filling solution for LED modules requiring high-reliability thermal management under mechanical vibration and thermal shock.

  3. Interface layer in 5G base station RF power amplifiers where minimal clamping pressure and long-term stability are critical.

  4. Thermal bridging material for battery module cell-to-cold-plate interfaces in energy storage systems (ESS).

  5. Low-stress TIM for sensitive MEMS sensors and optical components requiring zero outgassing and no chemical migration.

Dow DOWSIL TC-7006 Thermally Conductive Putty – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for DOWSIL TC-7006?

A: The CAS number for DOWSIL TC-7006 is 184757-41-1.


Q2: What is the recommended bond line thickness and minimum applied pressure?

A: Optimal performance is achieved at 0.2–1.5 mm bond line thickness with nominal contact pressure of 25–100 kPa; no minimum clamping force required due to inherent tack and conformability.


Q3: How does TC-7006 compare to DOWSIL TC-5600 or TC-5520 in terms of reworkability and modulus?

A: TC-7006 has significantly lower modulus (<0.2 MPa) than TC-5600 (~0.8 MPa) and TC-5520 (~1.2 MPa), enabling full rework without substrate damage or residue — unlike higher-modulus cured gels.


Q4: Does TC-7006 exhibit extractables or ionics that could impact high-voltage insulation performance?

A: No — TC-7006 is formulated with ultra-low ionic content (<5 ppm Na⁺, <2 ppm Cl⁻) and passes IPC-TM-650 2.3.25 surface insulation resistance testing at 1000 V, 85 °C/85% RH for 168 h.


Q5: Is TC-7006 compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray analysis post-assembly?

A: Yes — its uniform density and absence of voids or volatile components ensure consistent X-ray opacity and do not interfere with AOI algorithms for solder joint or component placement verification.
