Electronics are becoming more compact, faster, and powerful as they advance, and are bringing new complex challenges surrounding heat dissipation/thermal management and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The latest innovation from Kerafol® is here to help: let us introduce you to KERABSORB™.
KERABSORB™ is a new class of hybrid elastomeric material that combines the functionality of thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high-performance EMI absorbers, creating a single, easy-to-integrate solution.
The Difference
Today’s high-density designs (such as 5G infrastructure, autonomous vehicle radar, and consumer electronics) have increasing data rates while physical spaces between antennas and ICs are shrinking. This can lead to rising component temperatures, increased risk of EMI, and signal degradation and performance losses. KERABSORB™ solves all three of these in one material.
All-in-One Advantage
Unlike conventional gap pads or absorbers, KERASORB™ materials can perform multiple roles at once:
- Efficient thermal conductivity: dissipates heat away from sensitive components
- Electrical insulation: enables safe operation even in high-voltage environments
- EMI attenuation up to 77 GHz: provides robust shielding against interference such as signal distortion and cross talk issues, which are increasingly prevalent in high-frequency designs like 5G and radar systems
Thanks to Kerafol’s innovative material formulation, KERASORB™ achieves EMI suppression without sacrificing electrical insulation. This is a significant advantage over many other competing products.
Product Highlights
KERASORB™ also has an EMI performance that remains consistent regardless of material thickness, is made of a soft and elastic material that adapts well to surface irregularities and has a high breakdown voltage that ensures robust electrical isolation.
