Synthetic diamond is an electric insulator and has a thermal conductivity four times higher than copper.

Element Six has developed a range of polycrystalline diamond and synthetic diamond composite materials that can be used in a wide range of thermal management applications.

Synthetic diamond is an ideal material for a range of thermal management applications, and has a thermal conductivity four times higher than copper. In addition, the material is an electric insulator. The build-up of heat can destroy delicate circuitry or severely impair performance in all types of electronic and electrical applications.

Our CVD (chemical vapour deposition) diamond solutions
One of the first applications of synthetic diamond was as a heat sink for sensitive electronic components used in the telecommunications industry. Since then Element Six has developed a range of polycrystalline diamond and synthetic diamond composite materials that can be used in a wide range of thermal management applications.

CVD (chemical vapour deposition) diamond
Element Six is proud to offer Diafilm 200, the world’s first synthetic diamond thermal material that can offer thermal conductivity in excess of 2000W/mK. This novel, top-end grade of CVD diamond material caters for advanced users that work with high power, or high power density devices, and require extreme performance for their thermal packaging needs. A number of alternative Diafilm grades are also available.

Our SCD (silicon cemented diamond) thermal solutions
Element Six SCD Thermal is part of a new family of synthetic diamond-silicon carbide composites that are being developed to provide cost-effective solutions in a wide range of industrial applications. SCD Thermal combines synthetic diamond particles with silicon carbide to create a range of low cost materials that have excellent thermal and mechanical properties, making them ideal for use in the thermal management of electronic systems.
