Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- ALFA GR104 thermal compound resists changes in consistency temperatures up to 180°C; function as heat transfer media, durable dielectric insulation, barrier against environmental contaminants and as a stress-relieving shock and vibration absorber over a wide temperature and humidity range.
- ALFA GR104 thermal paste is resistant to ozone and ultraviolet degradation and has good chemical and solvent stability, good interference between the heat producing device and the heat transfer media, and low surface tension that enables them to wet most surfaces.
- ALFA GR-104 will not harden, dry, or melt after 1200 hours @ 205°C.
- Thermally Conductive Heat Sink Grease compound
- Direct Replacement of Dow 340 And Wakefield 120.
- Features & Benefits
- Non-Sag or flowing
- Non-Hazardous polymerization
- Non-Toxic
- Non-Corrosive
- Reworkable
- Easily removed
- Non-Flammable
- Easy to apply via dispensing or screen printing
- Low surface tension that enables it to wet most surfaces,which can lower the thermal contact resistance betweenthe substrate and material.
- Used Successfully By Ford Motor Co. For 20 Years
- Complies To MIL-DTL-4-7113
