Heat Sink Thermal Grease

Product Description

Thermal grease (also called CPU grease, heat paste, heat sink compound, heat sink paste, thermal compound, thermal gel, thermal interface material, or thermal paste) is a kind of thermally conductive (but usually electrically insulating) compound, which is commonly used as an interface between heat sinks and heat sources (e.g., high-power semiconductor devices). The main role of thermal grease is to eliminate air gaps or spaces (which act as thermal insulator) from the interface area so as to maximize heat transfer. Heat sink paste protects delicate electronic parts against overheating.

Recommended Usage

This grease can be used in a wide array of industrial applications including power components/power supply for Audio; Video (DVDs, TV Sets, Computers etc.); broadcasting equipment; car-audio, frequency drivers (or frequency inverters) on automation equipment and some minor applications on temperature sensor for auto.

Protection of sensitive components such as sensors, probes, measuring instruments or semiconductors, such as diodes, transistors thyristors through improving the heat linking to cooling plates or metal housings.

Before application please clean the mating surfaces and remove any solvent residues with a clean dry cloth.

Benefits:

As opposed to thermal adhesive, thermal grease does not add mechanical strength to the bond between heat source and heat sink. It will have to be coupled with a mechanical fixation mechanism such as screws, allowing for pressure between the two, spreading the thermal grease onto the heat source.
