Small knowledge about silicone - the principle and method of controlling the consistency of silicone grease
Silicone grease, the full name of which is thermal conductive silicone grease, commonly known as thermal paste or heat dissipation paste, is a paste made of special silicone oil as the base oil, mixed with new metal oxides and other functional additives, and processed by a specific process.
Performance and Use: Silicone grease has good thermal conductivity, waterproof sealing, solvent resistance and anti-creeping performance, does not corrode metal, and has good adaptability with rubber. It is widely used in bathroom equipment, sealing rings, waterproof sealing and lubrication in the electronic and electrical industries, especially as a thermal conductive medium filled between chips and radiators.
Ingredients and Appearance: Silicone grease is usually white or other colors, and the specific color varies depending on the material. It uses silicone oil as the base oil, mixed with metal oxide powders such as aluminum oxide and zinc oxide, and the overall appearance is mostly gray and non-conductive.
This article will conduct an in-depth discussion on the basic principles of silicone grease, factors affecting consistency, methods for regulating consistency, and application examples.
