Correct Storage Method of Thermal Conductive Gel

As an efficient heat conduction medium, thermal conductive gel is widely used in power supply, LED, automotive electronics, communication equipment and other fields. This article will introduce in detail the correct storage method of thermal conductive gel to ensure that it maintains its best performance for a long time.

1. Packaging type of thermal conductive gel

The packaging of thermal conductive gel is mainly divided into syringe packaging and canned packaging. Small amounts of thermal conductive gel are usually packaged in syringes, which are convenient to carry and use; while most factories such as power supply and LED industries prefer canned packaging due to large usage.

2. Storage environment of thermal conductive gel

For canned thermal conductive gel, if it is not used up at one time, many users will simply cover the lid and place it at will. However, this practice is not advisable. The storage environment of thermal conductive gel has an important impact on its performance.

Store in a cool place

Thermal conductive gel should be stored in a cool place and avoid direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will cause chemical reactions in the components of the thermal conductive gel, thereby reducing its thermal conductivity.

Suitable temperature

Too high or too low temperature will cause changes in the performance of the thermal conductive gel. Therefore, when storing thermal conductive gel, you should choose an environment with stable and suitable temperature.

Moisture-proof measures

A humid environment will cause the moisture in the thermal conductive gel to increase, thus affecting its thermal conductivity. Therefore, when storing thermal conductive gel, you should ensure that the packaging is well sealed and placed in a dry environment.

3. Storage period of thermal conductive gel

The storage period of thermal conductive gel is 8 months, but this does not mean that thermal conductive gel produced more than 8 months ago cannot be used. If stored properly, thermal conductive gel can be kept for several years.
