MARCH 2006 — Thermalworks of Anaheim California has announced that it has partnered with Lewcott Corp. of Millbury, Massachusetts to form Carbon Core Laminates, LLC as the supplier of its STABLCOR line of products including ST10 and ST325 and the soon to be introduced ST600.
“I am very happy to be able to work with a great company such as Lewcott.” said Kris Vasoya, Vice President Of Engineering, ThermalWorks, “We needed a company with a great deal of experience and expertise in specialty materials and Lewcott certainly fits that bill. Besides being an industry leader when it comes to technology, they are also partners and fine people to partner with. We look forward to a long and productive partnership.”
Carol Burch, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations, ThermalWorks, added, “It’s wonderful to finally be able to say that we have product on the shelf, ready to send out to our licensees. ST10 and ST325 are ready to ship and new products on the way through 2006.”
John Beard, CEO/President, Lewcott states “This is an excellent opportunity for Lewcott to utilize our chemistry to enhance the performance of an innovative technology, STABLCOR. We at Lewcott are excited to team with ThermalWorks to bring about a revolutionary change to the PCB industry.”
STABLCOR technology pulls heat away from the components through the PCB. The technology has the ability to match the CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) of PCBs and substrates to large scaled BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays) and WLP (Wafer Level Packages). The higher stiffness and rigidity of STABLCOR allows higher yields in assembly manufacturing and reduction of mechanical reinforcements. This total PCB and substrate solution increases the overall reliability of the end product.
Thermalworks is a technology-leading supplier of advanced thermal products to the electronics market. Thermalworks holds the worldwide IP rights to the new carbon composite laminate known as STABLCOR®, and licenses this technology to leading circuit board fabricators and manufacturers. Stablcor® provides thermal, CTE, weight and rigidity solutions to the industry through its patented technology and process in Printed Circuit Boards and Substrates.
