Heat dissipation
At Exacoat, we understand the concerns related to device heat dissipation and how it might be impacted by adding a skin. However, we’re here to debunk the myth and showcase the science behind why Exacoat skins won’t hinder your device’s cooling capabilities.
Will my device heat dissipation become affected with skin?
The short answer is no. Here are the reasons:
Ultra-Thin Design
Thickness
At just 0.22mm (thinner than a credit card), our skins add minimal bulk.
Comparison:
Unlike bulky cases (1-2mm thick), Exacoat’s featherlight layer allows heat to dissipate freely.
Thermally Conductive Materials
Material Science:
Exacoat uses premium vinyl with a thermal conductivity of 0.19 W/mK, outperforming standard plastics.
Heat Transfer:
This allows heat to flow efficiently from your device’s chassis to the environment, preserving natural cooling processes.
Precision Engineering
Laser-Cut Fit:
Skins are precision-cut using industrial grade machine to avoid blocking vents, heat sinks, or airflow pathways.
Seamless Adhesion:
Flawless contouring ensures no air gaps or material overlap that could trap heat.
Exacoat vs. Phone Cases
Thickness: Phone cases (1-2mm+ thickness) create a noticeable insulating layer, trapping heat during prolonged use. Exacoat’s 0.22mm skins, in contrast, are thinner than a credit card.
Material: Most cases use insulating plastics or rubber, whereas Exacoat’s vinyl optimizes heat transfer.
Real-World Validation
User Feedback: Thousands of customers report no noticeable temperature changes during daily tasks like browsing, calls, or light gaming.
Stress Tests: Exacoat skins undergo rigorous thermal testing, proving no performance compromise even under heavy workloads.
Tested and Proven
Exacoat doesn’t just preach science; we prove it. Our skins undergo rigorous stress tests designed to push them to the limit, including thermal imaging. These tests compare skinned and unskinned devices under various workloads.
The results are crystal clear: Exacoat skins have a negligible impact on heat dissipation during normal use.
Backed by Science
A 2019 research paper published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer investigated the impact of various phone case materials on heat dissipation.
The findings revealed that thin materials with high thermal conductivity, had minimal impact on device temperatures. This aligns perfectly with the design principles behind Exacoat skins.
Conclusion
Exacoat skins let you personalize your device without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
With science-backed design, precision engineering, and real-world validation, you can enjoy style and protection while keeping your device cool.
Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or multitasking, Exacoat ensures your device stays cool under pressure.
