Liquid Metal Compound

Category: infrastructure

An ultra-high-performance thermal interface material composed of a gallium alloy matrix.

Unlike standard silicone thermal paste, liquid metal offers exceptional thermal conductivity, making it ideal for enthusiast gaming builds and high-end laptop cooling blocks. However, because gallium is highly conductive, an accidental spill during application can instantly short out nearby components.

Common Examples

  • We applied a protective conformal coating layer around the CPU die before spreading the liquid metal to insulate the surrounding pads.
  • Liquid metal cannot be used with aluminum heatsinks, as the gallium alloy will chemically amalgamate and rapidly dissolve the metal structure.
