The difference between thermal gel and thermal grease

1. The construction methods of thermal conductive gel and thermal grease are different. Thermally conductive gel can be applied by automatic dispensing process, while thermally conductive silicone grease can only be applied manually. Thermally conductive gel is a kind of viscous thermally conductive material, which is made of a variety of thermally conductive powders and thermally conductive silica gel after being fully matured. Thermally conductive silicone grease is different from thermally conductive gel in terms of formula and its own production process. The packaging method is also simple canning. The construction method is usually screen printing, and some customers directly apply and scrape evenly.

2. The working life of thermal conductive gel and thermal grease is different.

Thermally conductive gel does not dry for a long time, can be compressed infinitely, and has a long service life. Some people call thermally conductive gel a liquid thermally conductive silicone sheet. However, the life of thermal grease is relatively short among all thermal interface materials.

There are many differences between thermally conductive gel and thermally conductive silicone grease, such as thermal resistance, density, resistivity, etc. Various data show that thermally conductive gel is different from thermally conductive silicone grease, and both have their own advantages. Customers can choose according to their own product characteristics and products Structural requirements, choose to use thermal gel or thermal grease.
