Super Thermal Grease II 8616 Technical Data Sheet 8616 Description The 8616 Super Thermal Grease II is a low thermal resistance grease with a synthetic oil base that is electrically insulating and non-corrosive. It is used to improve the thermal interface contact conductivity between heat sinks, LEDs, motors, and heat-generating electronic components such as CPUs, GPU chipsets, and power components. It improves the thermal interface between irregular and pitted surfaces. Benefits & Features * High thermal conductivity * Silicone free and non-bleeding * Excellent corrosion resistance--Passed ASTM B 117 1 000 hours * Lowers the contact resistance between irregular surfaces * Extends the life of electronic components * Electrically insulating * Safe on plastics Usage Parameters Properties Shelf Life Theoretical Coverage for 3 mL syringe a) Temperature Ranges Value 5y <1 180 cm2 <0.64 ft2 Properties Constant Service Temperature Storage Temperature Limits a) Idealized estimate based on 25 m [1.0 mil] thickness and 100% transfer efficiency.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Awareness Please see the 8616 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for greater details on transportation, storage, handling and other security guidelines. Environmental Impact: The VOC (volatile organic compound) content is 18% by WHMIS and European standards. Not regulated as a dangerous good for transport. Health and Safety: Wear safety glasses and disposable gloves to avoid exposures. HMIS(R) RATING NFPA(R) 704 CODES HEALTH: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 PHYSICAL HAZARD: 0 1 1 0 PERSONAL PROTECTION: Approximate HMIS and NFPA Risk Ratings Legend: 0 (Low or none); 1 (Slight); 2 (Moderate); 3 (Serious); 4 (Severe) Application Instructions The conductive grease performance depends on mainly on surface preparation. Improperly prepared contact surfaces can degrade the paste's stability, conductivity, and lubrication characteristics. While the thickness and coverage are also important, the application method itself can easily be adjusted according to performance and application needs. Prerequisites * * * Wear gloves and protective clothing. Clean and dry the surface of the substrate to remove other oils and greases, as well as dust, water, solvents, or any other contaminants. Recommendations: Use MG 824 Isopropyl Alcohol or MG 4351 Thinner Equipment * * * Lint free cloth (for cleaning contact and for wiping excess residue) Spatula or stick application tools (sized appropriately for your application) Isopropyl alcohol or other residue-free organic solvents To apply the grease 1. Wipe the contact with a lint-free cloth. 2. Clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol or other non-oil based cleaner. 3. Once dry, spread grease in a thin layer onto the surface. Page 3 of 4 Rev.
