Versarien Technologies launches a standard range of Low Profile Heat Sinks

Versarien plc (AIM:VRS), the advanced engineering materials group announced at the time of its interim results in December 2014 that it was developing a standard range of heat sink products based upon the VersarienCu™ copper foam technology.

Versarien Technologies Limited, the Company's subsidiary which specialises in advanced thermal management solutions, has recently announced the launch of such a range of products using VersarienCu™.

This range is designed for use in passive cooling applications where space is at a premium and performance is crucial. These VersarienCu™ heat sinks can potentially be used to cool any Integrated Circuit component, with applications including:

· Power integrated circuits, high temperature components and transistors

· Set top boxes, AP routers, cable modems and broadband

· Optical Networks and LED TV and flat panel displays

VersarienCu™ reduces the potential size requirement of individual components due to increased thermal efficiency. Where space has traditionally been at a premium the metallic foam now allows for a reduced footprint. The increased thermal efficiency of the copper foam on the component can allow for a cooling fan to be removed from products, and has the additional major benefit of increasing the life of a component by reducing overheating.

By producing a standard range of off-the-shelf products Versarien will be able to offer this advanced cooling technology to customers at a more competitive price which, together with the improved thermal management capabilities has already resulted in significant interest from large scale users, who are looking for more reliability and functionality for their electronic components.

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, said "This is an important development for Versarien Technologies and fits with our stated strategy of providing both standard and customised products to the market. With the introduction of these standardised products into our range, in conjunction with our recent acquisition of Custom Systems, we are able to offer both new and existing Custom Systems customers a cost effective solution to their thermal management needs."
