Specs
| Specification |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Conductivity | Conductive | Insulating |
| Package Size | 1g syringe, includes 2 cotton application swabs and a cleaning wipe | 120x20mm or 100x100mm sheets, 0.5mm/1mm/1.5mm thickness, 1 or 4-pad packs |
| Recommended Use | High-end CPU/GPU, including overclocking; also suited to Delidded-Direct-Die use per manufacturer application guidance | Mainstream CPU/GPU, Laptop-Thin-GPU (RAM, chipsets, GPUs, consoles, laptops) |
| Safety Notes | Electrically conductive liquid metal; must never contact exposed electronic components or it can cause a short circuit. Compatible only with copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, or nickel-plated copper surfaces; will corrode and damage bare aluminum and must never be applied to aluminum coolers. Causes skin irritation; wash affected skin thoroughly with water. | Electrically insulating (volume resistance 1.52x10^13 ohm-cm, breakdown voltage 8620 V/mil), non-adhesive, UL 94 V-0 flammability rated, dielectric constant 7.2 @1MHz |
| Applicator Included | None | None |
| Density | 6.44 g/cm3 | 3.4 g/cm3 |
| Material | Gallium Alloy | Silicone-Based (Premium Performance line) |
| Consistency | High surface tension, handles like a thick liquid metal despite a low measured viscosity (6 mPa·s, rotational viscometer, 20-110C); spreads slowly and must be worked in with the supplied swabs | 50 Shore OO hardness - extremely soft, compressible to ~60% of original thickness under mounting pressure, stackable without performance loss |
| Operating Temperature | Melting point -19.3°C; liquid at all normal operating and room temperatures | -40C to 200C ambient |
| Paste Segment | Liquid Metal | Pad |
