Thermal Compound
Céramique™
2
Tri-Linear Ceramic Thermal Compound
The
high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound specifically designed
for modern high-power CPUs and high-performance
heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.
Features:
Tri-Linear Ceramic Content:
Like the original Céramique, Céramique 2 uses
only ceramic fillers
so it is neither electrically conductive
nor capacitive.
The tri-linear composite of aluminum
oxide,
zinc oxide and boron nitride allows
the thinnest possible bond line
with modern processors, heatsinks
and electronics.
Critically-sized particles and new
ultra-high shear mixing techniques
maximize Céramique 2's thermal performance
and help maintain
a stable homogenous suspension.
This exclusive combination provides performance
exceeding most metal based compounds.
Polysynthetic Suspension Fluid:
A new oil mixture, improved thermal filler properties
and increased particle deagglomeration,
dispersal and density
enhance Céramique 2's thermal performance
and overall stability.
The third generation polysynthetic suspension
fluid
combines advanced synthetic oils to maximize
wetting and stability
while allowing a higher density of
thermally conductive fillers.
Excellent Stability:
Céramique
2 is engineered to not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.
Electrical Insulator:
Céramique 2 does not contain any metal or other electrically conductive materials.
It is a pure electrical insulator,
neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.
Performance:
2
to 10 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures
than standard thermal compounds or
thermal pads
when measured with a calibrated thermal
diode imbedded in the CPU core.
Innovative Dispenser:
The
amount of compound remaining in the 2.7-gram syringe
is easy to determine as the rear of
the plunger is perfectly flush
with the flange when the syringe is
empty.
Easy Clean Up:
Céramique 2 can easily be cleaned
from CPUs and heatsinks with ArctiClean,
isopropyl alcohol or any of the cleaners
listed in the product instructions.
Compliancy:RoHS Compliant.
Specifications:
Average Particle Size:
<0.36 microns
<0.000014 inch (70 particles lined up in a row equal 1/1000th of an inch.)
Temperature
Limits:
Peak: –150°C to >185°C Long-Term: –150°C to 130°C
Coverage Area:
2.7-gram syringe. (Approximately 1cc)
At a layer 0.003"
thick, one syringe will cover about 22 square inches.
25-gram syringe. (Approximately 9.2cc)
At a layer 0.003"
thick, one syringe will cover about 200 square inches.

Important Reminder:
Due to the unique shapes and sizes of the particles in
Céramique 2,
it will take a minimum of 25 hours and several
thermal cycles
to achieve maximum particle to particle
thermal conduction
and for the heatsink to CPU interface
to reach maximum conductivity.
(This period will be longer in a system
without a fan on the heatsink.)
On systems measuring actual internal
core temperatures
via the CPU's internal diode, the
measured temperature
will often drop slightly over this "break-in"
period.
This break-in will occur during the normal
use of the computer
as long as the computer is turned
off from time to time
and the interface is allowed to cool
to room temperature.
Once the break-in is complete, the computer
can be left on if desired
