Applying Thin Film Thermal Grease

For Heaters and Hot Blocks

1. Prepare the surfaces: Ensure both the ceramic heater and the hot block’s heater surface are clean and free of debris or residue.
2. Apply the grease: Use the included applicator to spread a thin, even layer of Thin Film Thermal Grease on the hot block surface, and ceramic heater.
3. Insert the heater: Carefully lay the coated heater onto the hot block.
4. Remove excess grease: Wipe away any grease that squeezes out of the sides of the hot block to prevent contamination of surrounding components.

For Temperature Sensors

1. Clean the sensor and block: Ensure the temperature sensor and its corresponding hole in the hot block are clean.
2. Apply a thin layer: Use the applicator to coat the temperature sensor and the sensor hole with a thin, even layer of thermal grease.
3. Insert the sensor: Place the coated temperature sensor into the block, then wipe away any excess grease.
4. Secure the sensor: Ensure the sensor is seated properly for accurate readings.

For Thermal Wells or Semiconductor Devices

1. Clean contact surfaces: Verify the surfaces of thermal wells, power transistors, or diodes are clean.
2. Apply grease sparingly: Spread a minimal amount of grease to create a thin, even bond line.
3. Assemble the components: Attach the components as needed, ensuring no excess grease spreads beyond the contact area.

Benefits

• Temperature Ratings: Thin Film Thermal Grease remains stable up to 360°C, making it ideal for high-temperature environments.
• Minimize Material Bulk: The ultra-thin application reduces the chance of material creep or excess build-up.
• Safe Handling: Electrically non-conductive, it prevents short circuits even in sensitive electronic setups.
• Reworkable Design: Components coated with this grease can be easily cleaned and reapplied as needed without leaving residue.
