Dow Corning brand thermally conductive compounds are grease like silicone materials, heavily filled with heat-conductive metal oxides. This combination promotes high thermal conductivity, low bleed and high temperature stability. The compounds are designed to maintain a positive heat sink seal to improve heat transfer from the electrical/electronic device to the heat sink or chassis, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the device. Electronic devices are continually designed to deliver higher performance. - Especially in the area of consumer electronics, there is also a continual trend towards smaller, more compact designs. In combination these factors typically mean that more heat is generated in the device. Thermal management of electronic devices is a primary concern of design engineers. A cooler device allows for more efficient operation and better reliability over the life of the device.
