The solution
❖ Melrose provided a solution by choosing the right material and 
processing based on the requirement.
❖ Also, by keeping the lead time into consideration.
Material: 
❖ Melrose materials experts determined that an acrylic thermal pad 
could provide a potential solution. The features of the material include,
➢ UL94 V-0 flame rating
➢ Equivalent thermal conductivity at 3W/m-K
➢ Excellent conformability, surface tack, and dielectric properties
