Thermal Properties

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding.

The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.

90 °C

Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance.

Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.

6.5 W/m.K

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α1 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α1 CTE α1 (alpha 1) is the slope of the Coefficient of thermal expansion in a temperature range below the Glass transition temperature (Tg). It explains how much a material will expand until it reaches Tg.	65 ppm/°C
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α2 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α2 CTE α2 (alpha 2) is the slope of the Coefficient of thermal expansion in a temperature range above the Glass transition temperature (Tg). It explains the extent to which a material will expand after it passes Tg.	150 ppm/°C

General Properties

Work life @25°C

Work life @25°C
Work life is the amount of time we have to work with a material until it is no longer able to be easily worked and applied on a substrate.

It is based on the change in viscosity and it can rely on the application requirements.

Directions for use

LOCTITE ABLESTIK 5025E adhesive film is unsupported.
Handle carefully to avoid any stretching or flexing when frozen.
It may be helpful during handling to keep at least one sheet of release paper attached.
Preheat surface to be bonded to approximately 45°C.
Remove release paper from one side of the adhesive film.
Apply film to one of the bonding surfaces.
Remove any trapped air by pressing on the surface
Allow device to cool to room temperature.
Remove the release paper from the other side of the adhesive film. Attach the remaining adherent.
Apply spring loaded clamp or dead weight to provide continuous pressure of at least 2 to 10 psi during cure cycle.
Place assembly in a preheated oven and cure at the recommended cure schedule.
