| Film Thickness Film Thickness Film thickness is the thickness of a backing film without taking into account any coatings or adhesive layers. It is measured in micron and the conversion factor to mil is 0.039. | 0.5 - 2 mm | ||||||
| Specific Gravity Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless. | 3.3 | ||||||

| 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. | 12.0 W/m.K | ||||||

| UL 94 Rating UL 94 Rating Flammability rating classification. It determines how fast a material burns or extinguishes once it is ignited. HB: slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate less than 76 mm/min for thickness less than 3 mm or burning stops before 100 mm V-2: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed. V-1: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. V-0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. 5VB: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole. 5VA: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole | V-0 | ||||||

Additional Information
Mechanical Response and Thickness Stability Under Compression
HGP12PT exhibits a controlled mechanical response that supports predictable behavior during assembly processes involving variable clamping pressure. With a Shore 00 hardness of 15, the material undergoes significant deformation at low force while maintaining uniform density across the compressed area. This helps preserve consistent interface thickness in assemblies where the gap may adjust dynamically as screws, clips, or automated press systems reach final torque.
The material is available in a 0.5–5.0 mm thickness range, enabling engineers to match pad thickness to target bond line heights without relying on excessive compression. This reduces the risk of component tilt or uneven contact that can occur when softer putty pads lack internal structural control.
HGP12PT’s formulation also exhibits low elastic recovery after compression. This behavior stabilizes the interface once the pad is seated, minimizing rebound that could otherwise affect the mechanical load on pressure-sensitive components or alter standoff height within multi-board assemblies.
This combination of low-hardness compliance, thickness versatility, and limited recovery movement enables HGP12PT to maintain a more controlled and predictable bond line in systems that cannot tolerate height variation or fluctuating compression forces.
