Why is thermal grease called a high thermal conductivity insulating organic silicon material, widely used in various fields such as electronic devices? The main reasons are as follows:

For example, during the operation of electronic devices, various electronic components such as central processing units, graphics processors, etc. will generate a large amount of heat due to the passage of current. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely manner, it will cause the temperature of the components to continue to rise.


There is air at the interface that hinders heat transfer. When electronic components come into contact with heat sinks, due to the uneven surface of the material at the microscopic level, even if they appear to be tightly adhered, there are still many small air gaps between the two. The thermal conductivity of air is extremely low. In contrast, metal heat sinks have higher thermal conductivity, but due to the presence of air gaps, heat is greatly hindered in the process of transferring from electronic components to heat sinks, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency and affecting the heat dissipation effect of electronic components.


Therefore, the emergence of thermal conductive silicone grease can improve heat transfer by filling gaps, because thermal conductive silicone grease has good fluidity and filling properties. After being applied between electronic components and heat sinks, it can quickly fill these small air gaps, forming a tighter thermal connection between electronic components and heat sinks. Due to the much higher thermal conductivity of thermal conductive silicone grease compared to air, filling the air gap greatly reduces the resistance to heat transfer, allowing heat to be more efficiently transferred from electronic components to the heat sink, thereby significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and effectively reducing the operating temperature of electronic components.

The requirements for insulation performance of electronic devices: In electronic devices, in order to ensure that various electronic components can work normally, do not interfere with each other, and prevent safety accidents such as electrical short circuits, there are high requirements for the insulation performance between electronic components and between electronic components and equipment casings.


The insulation properties of thermal conductive silicone grease: Thermal conductive silicone grease is usually composed of organic silicone resin, thermal conductive filler, and other additives. Among them, organic silicon resin, as the matrix material, has good electrical insulation properties and can effectively prevent the passage of current, thereby avoiding electrical short circuits between electronic components. Meanwhile, the thermal fillers added to the thermal conductive silicone grease, 


such as alumina and boron nitride, although their main function is to improve the thermal conductivity of the thermal conductive silicone grease, these fillers themselves also have certain insulation properties and will not have a negative impact on the insulation performance of the silicone resin. On the contrary, they are uniformly dispersed in the silicone resin, forming a continuous insulation network structure, further enhancing the insulation performance of the thermal conductive silicone grease. Therefore, thermal conductive silicone grease can not only effectively conduct heat, but also provide reliable electrical insulation to ensure stable operation of electronic devices in a safe electrical environment.


The complex operating environment of electronic devices requires material stability: Electronic devices will face various operating environments and working conditions in daily use. For example, temperature may fluctuate over a wide range, from cold regions with low temperatures to hot environments with high temperatures, as well as high temperature areas generated inside electronic devices due to component heating; Humidity may also change, and in humid environments, electronic device materials are susceptible to moisture erosion; 


In addition, electronic devices may also be affected by chemical substances, such as the presence of various corrosive gases and liquids in industrial production environments, which can cause damage to the materials of electronic devices. Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stable and reliable operation of electronic devices in various complex operating


 environments, high chemical stability and temperature resistance requirements are put forward for the materials used in electronic devices, such as thermal conductive silicone grease.

Chemical stability of thermal conductive silicone grease: The organic silicon resin in thermal conductive silicone grease has excellent chemical stability. The molecular structure of silicone resin contains silicon oxygen bonds, which have high bond energy and are not easily destroyed by chemical substances. 


Therefore, thermal conductive silicone grease can maintain stable performance in various chemical environments and will not undergo chemical reactions with surrounding chemicals, resulting in performance degradation or failure. For example, in industrial environments containing acidic or alkaline gases, thermal grease can resist the erosion of these chemical gases, maintain its good thermal conductivity and insulation properties, and ensure that electronic devices can operate normally in such harsh chemical environments. Today, let's delve into the benefits of thermal conductive silicone grease with the editor?


1. Thermal conductive silicone grease has good temperature resistance and can maintain stable physical and chemical properties over a wide temperature range. In low-temperature environments, thermal conductive silicone grease will not become hard or lose fluidity due to low temperatures, thereby affecting its filling performance and heat transfer efficiency; In high temperature environments, thermal conductive silicone grease will not decompose or carbonize due to excessive temperature, resulting in a decrease in its thermal conductivity and insulation performance.


2. In high temperature environments, the thermal filler in the thermal conductive silicone grease will form a tighter bond with the organic silicon resin matrix, thereby further improving the thermal conductivity and stability of the thermal conductive silicone grease. Therefore, the excellent temperature resistance of thermal conductive silicone grease enables it to adapt to the working needs of electronic devices in various temperature environments, ensuring that electronic devices can dissipate heat normally and operate stably in high or low temperature environments, thereby extending the service life of electronic devices.


3. Thermal conductive silicone grease usually has a paste like form, which gives it good fluidity and plasticity, making it convenient for users to apply. When in use, users only need to squeeze an appropriate amount of thermal conductive silicone grease onto the surface of electronic components, and then use tools such as scrapers, scrapers, etc. to evenly apply the thermal conductive silicone grease on the surface of electronic components, forming a thin and uniform thermal conductive coating.


4. Due to the good fluidity and plasticity of thermal conductive silicone grease, the application process is relatively simple and does not require special skills or equipment. Even inexperienced users can easily complete the application operation. In addition, the amount of thermal grease applied can be adjusted according to actual needs. Generally speaking, only a thin layer of thermal grease needs to be applied to the surface of electronic components to achieve good thermal conductivity, avoiding waste and pollution caused by excessive application.


5. In the maintenance and upgrade process of electronic devices, sometimes it is necessary to replace or repair electronic components, and at this time, it is necessary to clean the thermal grease originally applied to the surface of the electronic components. Due to its good adhesion and stability, thermal conductive silicone grease can firmly adhere to the surface of electronic components under normal use, without easily falling off or losing.


6. The convenient use and easy cleaning and replacement of thermal conductive silicone grease have made it widely used in the manufacturing, maintenance, and upgrading of electronic devices, providing strong guarantees for efficient heat dissipation and stable operation of electronic devices.


In summary, thermal conductive silicone grease has become an indispensable heat dissipation material in the field of electronic devices due to its excellent gap filling ability, good insulation, excellent chemical stability and temperature resistance, as well as convenient use and maintenance. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the performance, reliability and service life of electronic devices.
