Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • ALFA GR-194 FDA 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 GR-194 FDA 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-194 FDA will not harden, dry, or melt after 1200 hours @ 205°C.
  • Thermally Conductive Grease
  • Food Grade Heat Sink Compound
Features & Benefits
  • Food Grade Grease
  • 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 between the substrate and material.
