Arctic Silver™ Thermal Adhesive |
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is a two part permanent adhesive for thermal joints in minimum bond line applications. It is NOT
intended to be used between a CPU and the CPU heatsink. On a CPU please use a thermal compound such as Arctic Silver 5, Céramique 2, or Arctic Alumina. For proper
use
refer to the instructions here. |
Features: |
|
Characteristics:
Made with 99.8% pure micronized silver.
62% to 65% silver content by weight.
Superior thermal performance. |
Temperature Range:
- 40C
to >150C (Bond strength is slightly weakened at
temperatures
below 0C due to crystallization.) |
Negligible Electrical Conductivity:
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive was formulated
to
conduct heat, not electricity. NOTE: Even though Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive
is specifically engineered for high electrical resistance, it should
be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. The cured adhesive
is slightly capacitive and could potentially cause
problems if it bridged two close-proximity electrical paths. |
Compliancy: RoHS Compliant. |
Components:
A set of Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive
consists of two syringes containing a total of
7 grams of adhesive (3.5 grams each of parts
A and B) and a plastic reusable mixing wand.
Although heavier per set than Arctic Alumina
Adhesive due to its use of silver rather than ceramic, each set
of Arctic Silver Adhesive
contains the same amount of adhesive by
volume as a set of Arctic Alumina adhesive
and will cover the same area. Approximately
3cc
total adhesive. |
Storage:
Arctic Silve Thermal Adhesive should be kept
cold and away from UV light (sunlight and florescent lighting).
We recommend refrigerating the unused material and allowing it to
come to room temperature prior to use. |
Precaution:
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is a permanent
adhesive.
Components you attach with Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive will
stay
attached forever. |
