Introducing Arctic Alumina Thermal Compound
The first ceramic-based, polysynthetic thermal compound for use between
modern high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.

Characteristics:

Arctic Alumina Compound uses a layered composite of aluminum oxide and boron nitride to provide performance exceeding most metal based compounds.

Arctic Alumina Compound is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.

Arctic Alumina Compound does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary combination of advanced polysynthetic oils.

Arctic Alumina is engineered for controlled triple phase viscosity.
The complex polysynthetic oils work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the tube, Arctic Alumina's consistency is optimized for easy application in a thin, even layer. During the CPU's initial use, the Arctic Alumina compound thins out to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and insure the best physical contact between the heatsink and CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 20 to 100 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.
(This should not be confused with conventional phase change pads that are pre-attached to many heatsinks. Those pads melt each time they get hot then re-solidify when they cool. The viscosity changes that Arctic Alumina goes through are much more subtle and ultimately much more effective.)

Arctic Alumina Compound cleans off easily from CPUs and heatsinks. In most cases, simply wiping with a dry cloth will easily remove the compound from the CPU and heatsink.

Arctic Alumina is sold in:

1.75 gram tubes.
(A bit more than 1cc) This is enough compound to cover at least 25 to 35 small CPU cores, or 9 to 15 large CPU cores, or 4 to 8 heat plates.
At a layer 0.003" thick, one tube will cover approximately 24 square inches.
