What is thermal conductive silicone?

In general, thermal conductive silicone and thermal conductive silicone grease are similar, with the purpose of conducting heat in addition to bonding. However, there are more types of thermal conductive silicone, and the one we commonly use is still thermal conductive silicone. Below, the Xihe Applied Materials editor will talk about thermal conductive silicone.

Firstly, thermal conductive silicone and thermal conductive silicone grease share a common characteristic of being solid at low temperatures and liquid at high temperatures, both possessing excellent thermal conductivity. Thermal conductive silicone is generally used at the bottom of heat dissipation products. When applying adhesive, the thermal conductive silicone will tightly bond with the CPU through high temperature. After bonding, the CPU's heat dissipation function will become better, and it will not be in a high temperature state all the time. It will also continue to bond together afterwards. This is the overall bonding process of thermal conductive silicone.

Thermal conductive silicone is generally used in areas with strong heat dissipation and large surface area, and only requires coating without excessive operation. It can be tightly adhered together through the self heating of products such as CPUs, making it simple and easy to operate.

When purchasing thermal conductive silicone, attention should be paid to its performance in all aspects, because there are many types of thermal conductive silicone on the market, and it is necessary to choose a suitable one. Once the wrong one is selected and used, the consequences will be difficult to deal with.
