Aluminas, Spherical & Thermally Conductive Fillers
1. Introduction
So far, a crystal silica, AIN and Si3N4 filler, has been supplied against inquiry of the high thermal conductance filler filled in resin and rubber. However, the performance for the chemical stability, flowability and mold abrasion were not enough. A new spherical alumina filler was developed that has high thermal conductance and basic required characteristics as silica filler by utilizing various technological knowledge that improved the silica filler over a long period.

2 - 1. DAM Series
This grade is high level spherical alumina filler which is produced by high temperature fusing technology. Products that have several particle size distribution (herein after: P.S.D.) (representative value) are prepared.
2 - 2. DAW Series
This product has drastically reduced alumina peculiar ionic impurity content represented by Na ion through the special processing. Products that have several P.S.D. (representative value) are prepared.
2 - 3. DAB Series
This grade can fill up high filler content into a resin by adding developed super fine powder and making suitable P.S.D. with optimum combination of DAW series based on our spherical silica filler technology. Products that have several P.S.D. (representative value) are prepared.
