It is important to note that the quality of application of a thermal paste can be as important as the thermal
conductivity of the material applied; best results are achieved when a uniform, thin coat is applied between the
mating surfaces. Apply a thin layer of compound to one of the contact surfaces using a brush, spatula, roller,
automated system or screen printing technique. Ensure that the entire interface is covered to avoid hot-spots
from forming. Any excess paste squeezed out during the mounting process should be removed.
Additional Information
There are many methods of measuring thermal conductivity, resulting in large variances in results. Electrolube
utilise a heat flow method which takes into account the surface resistance of the test substrate, thus offering
highly accurate results of true thermal conductivity. Some alternative methods do not account for such surface
resistance and can create the illusion of higher thermal conductivity. Therefore, when comparing thermal
conductivity measurements it is important to know what test method has been utilised. For more information
please contact the Electrolube Technical Department.
The rate at which heat flows is dependent on the temperature differential, the thickness and uniformity of the
layer, and the thermal conductivity of the material. Products with the same comparable thermal conductivity
value may have very different efficiencies of heat transfer in the end application depending on how successfully
a thin even film can be applied.
A full range of heat transfer products are available from Electrolube: high thermal conductivity pastes (HTCP),
silicone based pastes for very high temperature applications (HTS), gap filling materials (HTCPX), Silicone
RTVs (TCOR, TCER), epoxy adhesives (TBS) and encapsulation resins (ER2220, UR5633, SC2003).
