Revolutionary Thermal Pad Promises Lifelong Cooling

Carbice is demonstrating its new Ice Pad thermal interface material at CES 2026, engineered to provide cooling that lasts for a device's entire lifespan. This innovative thermal pad, first introduced last summer, is constructed with dual layers of carbon nanotubes and a thin aluminum film, facilitating rapid heat dissipation away from critical components.

The Ice Pad boasts impressive thermal conductivity, aiming to match or exceed current market standards. Carbice asserts that its product requires no reapplication and is rated for the lifetime of the system it cools, positioning it as a superior alternative to conventional thermal paste for both DIY enthusiasts and manufacturers of pre-built systems.

While potential electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes is a consideration, the integrated aluminum layer is expected to mitigate shorting risks. With a contract already secured with CyberPowerPC for its high-end gaming systems, the Ice Pad is poised to make a significant impact on thermal management solutions.
