Thermal Grease

Thermal greases are made by mixing a base oil of silicone fluid with thermally conductive fillers. The resulting compound is a thick, paste-like substance that is used to fill the gaps between heat sinks and high heat flux electronics.

Thermal greases are commonly used in a variety of applications, including computers, power electronics, and LED lighting. They are an effective way to improve the thermal performance of these devices, and they can help to extend their lifespan.

Thermal greases are made with thermally conductive fillers, which can be either electrically conductive or electrically isolating. They can also be diluted with a solvent to reduce the viscosity of the thermal grease, making it easier to apply. After the solvent evaporates, the viscosity and thermal conductivity of the thermal grease increase, providing improved thermal performance and reduced risk of pump out.
