TekNational, Inc.
Tek-Sil® GPHN
Gap Pads, Extra Soft Gap Fillers
Gel Pads "GPHN" combines all of the options offered in our Tek-Sil® GP, Tek-Sil® GPH and Tek-Sil® GPN.  It has been extruded using nylon mesh to stiffen the material so that it is more puncture proof.  Distortion from compression is also minimized.  With one hardened surface, the pads are easy to handle.  Thermal conducivity which is measured at 1.5 W/m-k is the same as Gel Pad "GP".

As with all other Tek-Sil® materials, Teknational will die cut special shapes to customer specifications.

Material properties, comparative Thermal Resistance and Compression Set for all thicknesses are shown below.

To order sheets of "GPHN", specify the thickness

(Part number GPHN-118 for a sheet .118" (3.0mm) thick).
