Both thermal conductive interface materials are paste-like, and many customers have not been clear about the difference between thermal glue and thermal grease. Some people even default to thermal silicone as thermal grease, just with different names. Because of this, today I will discuss the difference between thermal gel and thermal grease with you.
When using silicone potting, there are certain operating skills to follow. Understand the specific operation process, mix and pour the glue step by step, and greatly improve the use value. Pay more attention to various matters to improve the effect after curing.
In the high temperature industry, a kind of potting glue is often used. This kind of sealant has the characteristics of stable performance in high temperature environment, so it is favored by many people. So, what kind of sealant has such performance? This is high temperature resistant potting glue. Let's take a look at the characteristics of high temperature resistant sealant. Is it resistant to high temperature?
Thermal grease is a material that conducts heat but does not conduct electricity. This material is in a paste state. It is always in a paste state regardless of any stage of use. If a curing reaction occurs after use in electrical appliances, the quality of this type of thermal grease is worrying and cannot be put into mass production.
Sealant is divided into two types: single component and two-component. If two-component sealants are not careful during construction, some bubbles will appear on the surface after curing. These bubbles have nothing to do with quality. In fact, not only two-component sealants are prone to bubbles after curing, but also two-component potting glues are prone to bubbles after curing. Only by understanding the reasons can it be avoided.
Thermal grease has a good heat dissipation effect when used in electrical appliances, ensuring the safety and service life of the appliances. Thermal silicone also has a good heat dissipation effect, and its main application areas include electrical appliances, automobiles and other parts. So are the two the same? Can they be used interchangeably? Although both thermal grease and thermal silicone have heat conduction effects, their raw materials, usage methods and application areas are different.
