What Is a Silicone Paste?
Silicone paste is a highly thermally conductive, viscous substance primarily used in cooling devices such as heat sinks for electronic devices and computers.
Generally composed of silicone polymers and thermally conductive fillers such as aluminum oxide or zinc oxide, silicone paste is known for its high thermal conductivity, flexibility, and electrical insulation properties.
Its main application involves sandwiching it between high-heat components like the CPU (Central Processing Unit) or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of electronic devices or computers and cooling devices like heat sinks or cooling fins. This effectively transfers heat generated by the high-heat components to the heat sink, enhancing cooling efficiency.
