Applications for TEG
- How To Use
Main applications
A characteristic of TEG is that its volume expands when exposed to heat.
There are many different applications for TEG.
When compression-molded, it transforms into a material for seal parts.
Adding it to rubber, urethane resins or other combustible substances
increases their flame retardancy.
Thermally conductive sheet
This is a thermally conductive sheet.
It leverages TEG's excellent thermal conductivity to work as a thermally conductive sheet.
Flame retardants
Add the agent to a combustible material to increase its flame retardancy or to stop the spread of flames.
Leveraging its excellent flame retardancy,
TEG is used as flame retardant.
Sealants
In machines and devices, TEG-based parts and materials stop liquids and gases from leaking to the outside and prevent rainwater, dust and other substances from entering inside.
By maximizing sealability, TEG is also used as sealant.
Graphite sheet
The product is used in automobile engines and other high-temperature parts, plant pipes, semiconductor manufacturing devices and in other applications.
It is a useful graphite sheet that leverages TEG’s excellent flame retardancy.
Fireproof door
This is a fire-resistant door that is a kind of an opening protective assembly specified in the Building Standards Act.
It leverages TEG's excellent flame retardancy for its use as a fireproof door.
Other applications for TEG
Electric vehicles
There are increasing expectations for TEG as material for electric vehicles which require the control of the heat generated by batteries.
5G terminal
5G terminals can be made faster and their bandwidth can be increased. They can store heat more than conventional 3G and 4G terminals.
It is expected that TEG will also be used in 5G terminals where heat control is necessary.
Fireproof piping
Under high temperatures, fireproof piping expands significantly to form a heat-insulating, fireproof layer.
TEG is expected to be used as a fireproof piping material that must be resistant to fire.
Material for fire spread prevention
This is a material that, in the event of a fire, preventing the fire's spread.
