Oki Develops Hybrid Heat Radiation Material; Reduces 30% of Heat Radiation from Electronic Components
TOKYO --(Business Wire)-- Oct. 12, 2004 -- Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TSE:6703) today announced it has achieved in developing RadiCool(TM), a hybrid heat radiation material that reduces 30% of intense heat generated by electronic equipment. Developed together with Oki Electric Cable Co., Ltd., RadiCool has the capability to reduce both heat radiation and heat conduction. Shipment starts from November 2004 for the electronic equipment and components market, aiming to reach sales of 2 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2006.
"Because electronic equipment is becoming smaller and lighter with sealed structures, solutions for heat are becoming more critical and important," said Harushige Sugimoto, Senior Vice President of Oki Electric "When RadiCool is used in electronic equipment, there is no need for conventional heat sinks or cooling fans, enabling equipment to become drastically smaller. In addition, because heat loss can be controlled, RadiCool also contributes in equipment to have longer life, higher performance and lower power consumption."
RadiCool is a sticker with "Cerac a (alpha)" painted onto a thin beaten-copper sheet that comes in two types: the sheet-type and the ring-type. Cerac a is the environment-friendly, inorganic liquid ceramic paint for heat radiation, co-developed by Oki Electric and Ceramission Co., Ltd. It is designed to make a 50um to 150um thin coat by utilizing the ceramic characteristic to radiate heat by converting heat to far infra-red radiation.
The 30% heat reduction RadiCool can achieve includes 20% from Cerac a's heat radiation and 10% from the thin beaten-copper's heat conduction. Because polyimide is used in RadiCool, it could be easily bent or pulled, and cut with scissors, which enables it to be placed freely onto necessary surfaces. In addition, Oki Electric Cable's technology in developing flexible printer circuit (FPC) makes RadiCool only 0.2mm thick flexible for bending and pulling.
