A product that is proving useful to the solar industry is LORD Corporation’s TC-501 Thermally Conductive Grease. This solvent-free, silicone thermal interface material (TIM) is designed to replace greases used as TIMs between the heat spreader and the heat sink (commonly known as TIM2). It provides high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance for applications where superior heat dissipation is required, such as in the solar industry. Unlike commercially available greases that eventually pump out, LORD TC-501 grease was developed using proprietary technology that eliminates pump-out.
