Arctic Silver / Alumina Thermal Adhesives Discontinued?

[Phlogiston]

I’m still using MX2 for non-adhesive paste, nothing I do needs ultimate performance. I just like being able to permanently attach things sometimes, and that’s where the Arctic Alumina thermal adhesive comes in.

As far as I know, the non-adhesive pastes keep for years and years in storage, but the adhesive versions eventually degrade and go hard, so I was fine with the MX2 lying around after buying a larger (better value) tube, but I was avoiding doing that with the thermal adhesives.

…mixing thermal paste with epoxy is what people did before alumina existed.

Good point - I’d forgotten about that.

@Enderman

I’ve emailed them asking about why it’s discontinued, if they have plans for replacement, or if they can sell me some of their OEM ceramic epoxies.
I’ll let you guys know what they say if they reply.

Thank you :+1:
