It comes in a 20g tube and works as a thermal paste (also called thermal grease), filling the tiny air gaps between a component and its heat sink so warmth moves away from the part more efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compound has high thermal conductivity, which is the whole point of applying it. Air is a poor conductor, so any small gaps left by uneven surfaces trap heat where you don't want it. A thin, even layer of this paste bridges those gaps and helps the heat sink do its job. It also acts as a moisture buffer, which is useful in setups where damp or condensation might otherwise be a problem, and it has a low metallic impurity content so it stays reliable around sensitive electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find this handy for CPUs, power transistors, voltage regulators and other parts that need steady heat dissipation. Use it sparingly: a thin film is all you need, since too much can actually work against you. The 20g tube covers plenty of small jobs, so it suits both one-off repairs and workshop use. The pack measures 150 x 10 x 50mm, making it easy to keep in a toolbox or drawer alongside your other electronics supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150mm x 10mm x 50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is heat sink compound used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fills the small air gaps between an electronic component and its heat sink, improving heat transfer so the part runs cooler and more reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much should I apply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thin, even layer is all you need.
