Abstract:
Disclosed is an effective thermal grease comprising a hyperbranched olefinic fluid and a thermally conductive filler. Property-modifying additives and fillers may also be included. The hyperbranched olefinic fluid is selected to have an average of at least 1.5 methine carbons per oligomer molecule and at least 40 methine carbons per one thousand total carbons. The thermal grease exhibits a flash point of 180° C. or higher, a pour point of 0° C. or lower, and a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of no more than 200 cSt (0.0002 m 2/s). The composition may offer improved thermal conductivity, reduced tendency to migrate, and lower cost when compared with many other thermal greases, including silicone-based thermal greases.

A thermal conductive grease used for diffusion of heat generated in electronic appliances is provided. The thermal conductive grease comprises: (A) a base oil having a viscosity of 112 to 770 mm2 at 40° C. and comprising a copolymer of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid dibutyl ester and an α-olefin; and (B) a thermal conductive filler filled in the base oil. The thermal conductive grease does not include conventionally used silicone oil so that insulating substances will not be formed in the thermal conductive grease.

Provided is a heat conductive silicone grease composition, including: (A) 100 parts by volume of an organopolysiloxane with a specific structure and with a kinematic viscosity at 25° C. of 10 to 10,000 mm2/s, (B) 0.1 to 50 parts by volume of an alkoxysilane with a specific structure, and (C) 100 to 2,500 parts by volume of a heat conductive filler. The composition exhibits high thermal conductivity, retains excellent fluidity meaning the composition exhibits favorable workability, and is capable of filling fine indentations, thereby reducing contact resistance and providing excellent heat radiation performance. Also, the durability, under conditions of high temperature and high humidity, of the composition is improved, thereby improving the reliability of the composition during actual use. Heat generated by a heat-generating body can be dissipated into a heat-radiating body by sandwiching the composition between the heat-generating body and the heat-radiating body.
Abstract:
A perfluoropolyether, a composition comprising the perfluoropolyether, a process for producing the perfluoropolyether, and a process for improving the thermostability of grease or lubricant are provided. The perfluoropolyether comprises perfluoroalkyl radical end groups in which the radical has at least 3 carbon atoms per radical and is substantially free of perfluoromethyl and perfluoroethyl end groups. The process for producing the perfluoropolyether can comprise (1) contacting a perfluoro acid halide, a C2- to C4-substituted ethyl epoxide, or a C3+ fluoroketone with a metal halide to produce an alkoxide; (2) contacting the alkoxide with either hexafluoropropylene oxide or tetrafluorooxetane to produce a second acid halide; (3) esterifying the second acid halide to an ester; (4) reducing the ester to its corresponding alcohol; (5) converting the alcohol with a base to a salt form; (6) contacting the salt form with a C3 or higher olefin to produce a fluoropolyether; and (7) fluorinating the fluoropolyether. The process for improving the thermostability of a grease or lubricant comprises combining the grease or lubricant with the composition.
