Seek & destroy heat buildup.
Let us help you pack more power into less space with comprehensive thermal management solutions.
3M Thermal Management Solutions
Don’t let heat buildup put your project at risk—we can help you plan for it and problem-solve it across your platform with thermal management solutions for dissipating, insulating and tolerating heat. From electrical components all the way to the extreme heat generated by jet propulsion systems, we can help you find the right thermal management solution for your application.

Heat TransferHelp protect the safety and performance of batteries and electronics with insulating materials, fluids, resins and fillers from 3M. Our products have helped to prevent outside temperatures from heating batteries by as much as 33%. We can help dissipate heat while maintaining electrical insulation with boron nitride, apply 3M™ Scotchcast™ Electrical Resin to resist moisture on PCBs and much more.

Temperature ControlKeep your cool with temperature control for cabins, cockpits, and other critical areas of vehicles. Our solutions include 3M™ Thinsulate™ acoustic insulation—which protects against friction-causing sound waves—or our window films that are proven to reject up to 60% of the solar energy that comes in through windows to reduce heat and help you cool the area down faster.

Product Solutions
With a wide range of thermal management solutions, we can work with you to find the right combination of technologies to help you meet your design objectives on military aircraft, vehicles, ships and more. Explore our portfolio of heat transfer, temperature control and heat barrier products below.
Electronics
Processors. Batteries. Monitors. Every electronic component generates and contributes heat to your platform—and we can help you manage and mitigate it right at the source with thermal management materials and electric battery solutions.
Acoustic Insulation
Beyond mitigating sound, our acoustic insulation solutions have also helped address the thermal challenges associated with noise, vibration and harshness. Our solutions include acoustic absorption materials that can help reduce NVH in high-temperature applications without adding weight.
Nextel™ Ceramic Fibers and Textiles
Glass Bubbles
3M glass bubbles are high-strength, low-density hollow glass microspheres made from soda-lime borosilicate glass. They are known to provide a number of inherent performance advantages, including thermal insulation and solar reflectivity.
Boron Nitride Cooling Fillers
Engineered and currently used to help improve thermal conductivity in polymers while maintaining or improving electrical insulation, these additives have unique properties that make them suitable for many thermoplastic, elastomer and thermoset resins used in a wide variety of electrical and electronic applications.
Composite Reinforcement
Our Nextel™ Ceramic Fibers are also used as structural reinforcements in a variety of metal, ceramic and polymer composites to make them stiffer and stronger. Suitable for load-bearing applications, the resulting composites withstand higher temperatures than metals at a lighter weight.
