This is a 2.5 gram tube of Arctic Silver Céramique High-Density Thermal Compound. This product was originally developed for use with computer heat sinks to allow more efficient heat transfer and dissipation, but after extensive testing by A Main Hobbies team drivers, it has also proven to be effective for RC applications!
It can be used to drastically lower the operating temperatures of electric motors, or ESC's by applying between the contact surface and their heat sinks.
Features:
- High-Density ceramic content: Céramique uses a high-density layered composite of five unique shapes of thermally conductive aluminum oxide, boron nitride and zinc oxide sub-micron particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. This exclusive combination provides performance exceeding most metal based compounds.
- Controlled Triple-Phase Viscosity: Céramique does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that provide superior performance and long-term stability. During the system's initial use, the heat from the CPU lowers the viscosity of the compound to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and ensure a minimum bond line between the heatsink and the application surface. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 100 to 300 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability. (This should not be confused with conventional phase change pads that are pre-attached to many heatsinks. Those pads melt each time they get hot then re-solidify when they cool. The viscosity changes that Céramique goes through are much more subtle and ultimately much more effective.)
- Excellent Stability: Céramique is engineered to not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.
- Electrical Insulator: Céramique does not contain any metal or other electrically conductive materials. It is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.
- Easy Clean Up: Céramique can easily be cleaned from heatsinks with isopropyl alcohol or any of the cleaners listed in the product instructions.
NOTE: It is recommended that the application surface should be prepped with Arctic Silver ArctiClean 1 & 2 Thermal Surface Cleaner & Purifier.
