1. Temperature Control
Store in a cool, dry place with a stable temperature, ideally between 15°C ~ 25°C (59°F ~ 77°F). Avoid extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), as heat can cause separation or degradation, while cold may harden or crack the gel.
2. Seal Tightly
Always close the container securely after use to prevent exposure to air, which can dry out the gel or introduce contaminants.
3. Moisture and Humidity
Keep away from high humidity or moisture to prevent absorption, which could compromise thermal conductivity or cause corrosion in applications.
4. Light Exposure
Store in a dark place or in the original opaque container to protect from UV/light exposure, which may degrade the material.
5. Shelf Life
Check the manufacturer’s expiration date or shelf-life recommendations (typically 1 ~ 2 years if unopened, shelf life of the product is 6 months after date of shipment). Use older stock first and inspect for changes in texture or separation before use.
6. Pre-Use Handling
If stored long-term, allow the gel to acclimate to room temperature before application.
Gently mix if separation occurs (avoid vigorous stirring to prevent air bubbles).
Use clean tools to prevent contamination.
7. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines
Always review the product’s datasheet for specific storage instructions, as formulations vary (e.g., silicone-based vs. non-silicone).
By adhering to these steps, you’ll maintain the thermal gap filler gel efficacy for efficient thermal management.
