process that matches the client’s needs. The vast range of silicone materials TECHSiL has to offer include pastes, cured pads, RTVs, gels, adhesives, gap fillers, phase change materials and greases. The choice of which material is best suited will be governed by the application and dispensing method preferred by the Customer. TECHSiL’s technical experts can help you narrow down which product type, and more specifically which grade will deliver the best result for your product performance and production environment.
Why is thermal management so vital for data centre applications?
A
lready well-known in the Automotive, Electronics and Aerospace Industries TECHSiL are specialists in thermal management solutions, endeavouring to continually innovate and develop within emerging technologies and advanced industries. In Data Centre applications, heat efficiency is vital and TECHSiL are perfectly placed to lend their expertise to optimise thermal performance and extend the lifetime of electronic components by understanding the critical demands the data centre Industry require of its products.
What are the challenges
with current solutions? As data centres expand to meet the growing demands of modern computing, traditional thermal management solutions often fall short.
Conventional heat dissipation methods, such as metal-to-metal interfaces, struggle to handle the higher heat outputs of advanced hardware, failing to fill microscopic gaps completely which result in less-than-optimal thermal conductivity and poor heat transfer.
Legacy solutions like conventional phase-change films deteriorate after repeated insertions and removals, such as those required for pluggable optical modules (POMs). This degradation not only reduces thermal performance but also risks introducing volatile compounds into the data centre environment, potentially compromising sensitive electronic components. TECHSiL’s solutions can extend product life.
What do TECHSiL offer? TECHSiL offer a comprehensive range of Thermal Management Materials (TIMs) such as thermal adhesives, gap fillers, gels and pads alongside an impressive portfolio of high specification silicone products that resolve an array of handling and performance challenges faced in the assembly of electronic devices and components such as housing sealants and coatings for ingress & environmental protection. TECHSiL provide expert technical support with high performance liquid materials for fibre optic connections securing assemblies, CPU/GPU thermal interfaces, encapsulation of power supply and wiring insulation/sealing.
Having flourished thanks to their consultative design approach, TECHSiL work to understand their customers’ challenges and opportunities to be able to offer a product fit for purpose with a

Data centres house large volumes of servers and other critical computer hardware that generate significant heat, effective thermal management materials help to dissipate this heat, preventing overheating which could lead to hardware malfunctions and failures.
By maintaining optimal and consistent operating temperatures, the utilisation of thermal management materials actively extends the lifespan of the electronic components and equipment, reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements, ensuring a more reliable performance.
Efficient thermal management reduces the need for excessive cooling, which in turn lowers energy consumption over time. Lower energy consumption in turn translates into reduced operational costs. By opting for advanced cooling techniques such as liquid cooling and phase change materials from TECHSiL, high-density data centres where traditional air cooling might not be sufficient can prevent overheating, improve energy efficiency and enhance equipment reliability.
Meet the team at data
centre world TECHSiL is very excited to be co-exhibiting at Data Centre World in March with SHOAL Group, a value-add supplier of single-source, end-to-end cabling solution which provides secure, reliable power and connectivity. Both members of Diploma PLC, TECHSiL and SHOAL are collaborating to provide customers with a fully cohesive solution that encompasses the supply, installation and maintenance of hyperscale, colocation and enterprise solutions to both new infrastructure and building refurbishment projects.
