Component Specifications

Definition
Inorganic fillers are finely ground, non-metallic particulate materials incorporated into electrical insulation epoxy resin compounds to modify their physical, thermal, and electrical properties. These fillers, typically composed of minerals like silica, alumina, or mica, increase dielectric strength, reduce thermal expansion, improve thermal conductivity for heat dissipation, and enhance mechanical properties such as hardness and dimensional stability. They function by dispersing within the polymer matrix, creating barriers to electrical current and heat flow while reinforcing the composite structure.
Working Principle
Inorganic fillers work by dispersing uniformly within the epoxy resin matrix, where they increase the tortuosity of electrical and thermal pathways, thereby enhancing insulation resistance and heat dissipation. Their high dielectric constant and low electrical conductivity prevent current leakage, while their thermal properties help transfer heat away from sensitive components. The fillers also mechanically reinforce the composite by distributing stress and reducing polymer chain mobility.
Materials
Common materials include silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), boron nitride (BN), mica, and calcium carbonate (CaCO3), with particle sizes ranging from nanometers to micrometers, surface treatments (e.g., silane coupling agents) for improved adhesion, and purity levels exceeding 99% for critical applications.
