CoolTherm TC-2002 is an acrylic 2K thermal adhesive (structural) from Parker LORD, rated 1.0 W/m·K. Typical uses: Structural bonding needing thermal conductivity (battery packs, power electronics, EV charging). Short answer: we dispense it with PDPMX-1000HF/500HF.
Recommended: PDPMX-1000HF/500HF, fed from a 30 cc barrel.

How we dispense it
We have run CoolTherm TC-2002 on Dispense Robotics equipment. Our recommendation is PDPMX-1000HF/500HF, fed from a 30 cc barrel. Pump size still depends on your shot or bead size and cycle time, so send us those and we'll confirm.
- Abrasion: the ceramic filler that carries the heat wears pumps out. We use tungsten carbide rotors and wear-resistant stators and run the pump slowly, at 8 to 12 rpm, for long wear life.
- Ratio: each side is metered by its own progressive cavity pump to within ±1%. Check ratio by weighing a shot from each side every week, because filled materials vary from batch to batch.
- Mixing: a disposable static mixer does the mixing. Purge or change it before the material's working life runs out.
See our PDP two-component metering pumps, or use the pump configurator.
Frequently asked questions
What pump should I use to dispense CoolTherm TC-2002?
We have run CoolTherm TC-2002 on Dispense Robotics equipment. Pump size depends on your shot or bead size and cycle time; send us those and we will size it.
Can CoolTherm TC-2002 be fed from pails instead of cartridges?
Parker LORD lists these packages: 490 mL cartridge. Cartridges suit lab and low volume. Above that, a follower-plate pail pump feeds the metering pump directly, which cuts container changes and waste.
How do you keep CoolTherm TC-2002 on ratio?
Each side is metered by its own progressive cavity pump, held to within ±1% per side. We recommend a weekly check: weigh a shot from each side and adjust, because filled materials vary from batch to batch.
Will CoolTherm TC-2002 wear out the pump?
Thermally conductive fillers are abrasive. With tungsten carbide rotors, wear-resistant stators and pump speeds of 8 to 12 rpm, stators typically last 6 to 12 months and rotors up to 24 months, and a pump rebuild takes under an hour.
