Slice Engineering Thermal Paste

The Slice Engineering Boron Nitride Thermal Paste improves conduction and acts as a release agent. Unlike anti-seize compounds, Boron Nitride is not electrically conductive, which eliminates the risk of shorting out your heater cartridge or thermistor.

Use the included applicator to coat the cartridge heater hole in your 3d printer heat block. Insert the cartridge heater while the paste is still wet, then let dry. The boron nitride boosts dissipation of heat from the hot section of the cartridge heater, improving its life. Retails in 5 cc syringes with luer lock fittings. Stable to 850 °C in air, 1800 °C in a vacuum.

Boron Nitride is so effective, that NASA is experimenting with it in high temperature applications on their spacecraft for the first manned mission to Mars. The paste elevates the heat conduction between components, ensuring that your printer is working at maximum capacity — giving your hot block the even heat distribution it needs to deliver the highest quality print in the shortest amount of time. Also, unlike anti-seize compounds, Boron Nitride is not electrically conductive, which eliminates the risk of shorting out your heater cartridge or thermistor. The paste also makes sure your heater cartridges, thermistors, or nozzles don’t get permanently stuck in your hot block.
