Arctic Alumina is sold in 1.75 gram tubes. This is enough compound to cover at least 25 to 35 small CPU cores, or 9 to 15 large CPU cores, or 4 to 8 heat plates. At a layer 0.003" thick, it will cover approximately 24 square inches.

Arctic Alumina Compound uses a layered composite of aluminum oxide and boron nitride to provide near Arctic Silver II level performance.

Arctic Alumina Compound is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.

Arctic Alumina Compound does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary combination of advanced polysynthetic oils.

Arctic Alumina is the first thermal compound engineered for controlled triple phase viscosity. The complex polysynthetic oils work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the tube, Arctic Alumina's consistency is optimized for application in a thin, even layer. During the CPU's initial use, the Arctic Alumina compound thins out slightly to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and insure the best physical contact between the heatsink and CPU core. Then the compound slowly thickens over the next 20 to 100 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.

Arctic Alumina Compound cleans off easily from CPUs and heatsinks.

Although lighter per tube than Arctic Silver II due to its use of ceramics rather than silver, each tube of Arctic Alumina actually contains slightly more compound by volume than a tube of Arctic Silver II and will cover MORE area.
