Thermal Grizzly introduces KryoSheet, a new product that is part of the company's advertised "High Performance Cooling Solutions". The graphene thermal pads of the Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet series can be used excellently as an alternative for thermal pastes from the higher performance segment. Similar to the Carbonaut pads, they have a conformable surface with very high thermal conductivity. Compared to Carbonaut pads, KryoSheet as a high-end product offers significantly higher thermal conductivity. This increased thermal conductivity is not only due to the choice of material, but also to the innovative manufacturing process.
KryoSheet does not contain any liquid components and is therefore not subject to normal ageing as is the case with traditional thermal paste. Drying out is not possible.
What makes KryoSheet so special?
The KryoSheet graphene pads have a molecular structure stacked in the Z-direction. This optimised structure enables outstanding and constant thermal conductivity. Responsible for this is a specially developed manufacturing process in which the hexagonal crystal structure of the graphite is broken up along the basal plane in order to be able to exploit the anisotropy of the graphite's thermal conductivity. However, as a side effect of this elaborate manufacturing process, the electrical conductivity is also increased and the stability of the KryoSheet pads is affected, so that the pads should only be used according to instructions!
For whom is KryoSheet worthwhile?
The application areas of Carbonaut and KryoSheet overlap strongly. Due to the optimised thermal conductivity of KryoSheet compared to Carbonaut, the focus of the graphene pads is on enthusiast products in the consumer segment as well as on industrial applications. Examples for the use of KryoSheet are the refurbishing of used graphics cards and notebooks/laptops.
