It is no mystery that metals have some excellent thermal properties, being able to conduct heat away very efficiently. You don't have to look far to see evidence of this, with copper and aluminium leading the way in most thermal dissipation solutions, namely heatsinks. However, heatsinks alone have never been effective without an interface between itself and the component to maximise heat transfer. Thermal compounds have filled this role for a very long time, with the function of filling any gaps in the interface and for the most part, they have been ceramic or solid metal based. Metal based thermal compounds have been high popular in the past for their high thermal conductivity but conversely, those metal based compounds have one big inherent disadvantage, electrical conductivity. In a bid to make thermal compounds less electrically conductive, it's possible to say that manufacturers have been unable to create the perfect product. This is where Coollaboratory comes in.
