Heat Sink Bonding Compounds
Bond heat sinks to surfaces, eliminating air gaps for maximum heat transfer. These compounds are commonly used with transistors, diodes, rectifiers, and transformers. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.
Zinc-oxide compounds create a more secure bond than silicone compounds.

Non-Bonding Heat Transfer Compounds
Also known as thermal paste, these boron-nitride compounds increase heat transfer between parts while preventing them from sticking. Unlike antiseize compounds, they don't conduct electricity, so you won't risk shorting out sensitive electronics. They're often used on thermocouple probes to improve accuracy. You can also use them in 3D printer heating blocks and other high-temperature areas to keep parts from fusing together.

Heat-Transfer Compounds
Eliminate air gaps that cause heat loss and premature heater failure. These compounds mold around heat cable so it makes direct contact with pipes, pumps, and other parts.
Compounds with a 450° F maximum temperature don’t harden, so they maintain a tight seal even as the surface you’re heating expands and contracts. Since they’re waterproof, they also shield the surface from corrosion.
Compounds with a 750° F maximum temperature are often used with steam, hot oil, and glycol heat trace lines.
Compounds with a 1250° F or 2200° F maximum temperature are often used with steam heat trace lines, strip heaters, and ring heaters.

Heat-Transfer Potting Compounds
Formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, these potting compounds have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.
Cartridge potting compound requires a gun and mixer nozzle (each sold separately) to dispense.

Adjustable-Flexibility Heat-Transfer Potting Compounds
Mixing required—resin and hardener come in two separate jars or in a jar and syringe and must be combined before applying. Change the mix ratio of these heat-transfer potting compounds to achieve the right hardness for your application. They're formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, so they have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.

Conductive Surface Fillers for Electronics
A high silver content allows these surface fillers to conduct electricity and heat. Use them to fill gaps and rebuild missing material on electrical connections or to assemble new components. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.
Surface fillers in one-time-use packets and jars come as two parts. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Surface filler in a pen dispenses as a thin, ready-to-use liquid that fills in pitting and small gaps. It’s often used on circuit boards to fix components or to prototype new systems.
Volume resistivity and surface resistivity measure how well a material opposes the flow of electricity. The lower the rating, the more electricity it conducts.
Thermal conductivity measures a material’s ability to transfer heat. The higher the rating, the more heat it transfers.

Conductive Adhesives for Electronics
An alternative to solder, these flexible, silver-filled adhesives accommodate joint movement. Use them to bond electrical components and repair circuits.
Epoxy adhesives are two-part adhesives that need to be mixed together. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Thermoplastic adhesives are one-part adhesives that don’t need to be mixed. Dry to the touch and faster and easier to apply than two-part adhesives, they’re best for use on automated assembly lines. Often used to join solar cells in solar panels, these adhesives make instant electrical connections without flux at lower temperatures than soldering. Since they attach to solar cells with heat and slight pressure, they limit stress cracks that can form when soldering. These adhesives can also be used as a bridge between multiple solar panels.

Electrically and Thermally Conductive Grease
A high silver content gives this grease excellent conductivity for applications where electricity and heat transfer are required. It is suitable for ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding applications. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.
Electrical resistivity is a measure of how well a material opposes the flow of electricity. The lower the rating, the more electricity it conducts.
Thermal conductivity measures a material’s ability to transfer heat. The higher the rating, the more heat it transfers.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

Conductive Liquid Gallium
A safe alternative to mercury in thermometers and thermostats, gallium transfers heat and electricity without toxic vapor that can be inhaled. Also known as Galinstan. Its low melting point means it's liquid at room temperature. When used next to parts that generate concentrated heat, it dissipates the heat quickly, making it good thermal interface material. It also allows electricity to pass throughout it, so it's often used in switches and electronics that must bend and flex.
Gallium clings to both metallic and nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and quartz. However, it eats away at most metal when used at high temperatures and dissolves aluminum even at ambient temperatures.
When choosing gallium, keep in mind its composition. The higher the gallium and indium content, the better it is at transferring heat. Gallium with tin reduces the melting point, but also decreases how well it transfers heat.
