A lot of thermal management engineers always struggle with application of thermal interface materials, for example, both thermal gel and thermal silicone grease are high performance paste, gap filling material, what’s the defference? Which one is better in application?

There is a very significant difference between thermal gel and silicone grease. Thermal gel is a non-dry out paste material, wetting interface and decreasing thermal impedance, provding a ten-year service life. As we known, silicone grease is a easy volatilized material, it will become dry in half or one year, failing to transfer heat.

Thermal gel is a high viscosity, fully cured material. The entire process was finished in vaccum, no air bubbles, so you don’t need to worry about dispensing break in production. this material is syringe or cartridge packaged, suitable for automated production dispense processes. For silicone grease, the most common application method is screenprint, it’s often done by hand, the uniformity and amount are out of control.

GLPOLY thermal gel deflects easily under low compressive forces, accommodates a variety of bondline thickness for application to multiple devices, used to fill different gap thickness and compatible with high volume, automated dispense processes.

GLPOLY thermal gels offer a range of thermal conductivity from 1.5 -8.0W/mK, providing superior design flexibility. GLPOLY 3.0W/mK and 5.0W/mK thermal gels have been applying to dJI innovation, Freetech Pilot, Skywoth displayer and more.

GLPOLY thermal interface materials have been applying to 5G telecom, drone, smartphone, automotive electronics etc. Keep your devices perform at their best.
