Patent number: 7135232Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal conductive composition formed by blending a thermal conductive filler of not less than 600 mass parts to 100 mass parts of a liquid silicone having a viscosity in a range of 20 to 2000 mPa·s. Since the thermal conductive composition is not crosslinked further or cured at a normal temperature of 25° C., it keeps a putty state, and the thermal conductivity is not less than 3 W/m·K. A heat-dissipating putty sheet according to the present invention is formed by applying the thus obtained thermal conductive composition onto a release sheet. The heat-dissipating putty sheet having a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 3 mm can be released manually from a release base, or it can be transferred from a release sheet to a heat-generating part or a dissipator so as to be attached to a desired position easily.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Fuji Polymer Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunsuke Yamada, Masakazu Hattori, Hajime Funahashi
