thermal grease, non-electrically conductive and waterproof?
Admin:
I'm looking for a non-electrically conductive waterproof goop with high thermal conductivity.
Sort of a cross between thermal grease (thermally conductive) and RTV (waterproof and electrically conductive) . . .
Anyone know of something I can use?
JonHylands:
I use a tube of stuff I picked up at Radio Shack in the US - "Archer Professional Lube Gel".
Its clear, and has "SYNCOLON (PTFE)"
Seems to work pretty well, although I don't know how thermally conductive it is...

Admin:
I need something much more viscous than that lube.
I've been reading a lot on this, and it appears some RTV types can be thermally conductive. But also some types corrode metals and can damage electronics . . . Ill keep looking . . .
JonHylands:
Its pretty viscous already - I use it to seal the o-rings on my sub.
It comes out of the tube with about the same viscosity as a normal grease you would use on bearings.

ed1380:
how water proof and how much of it do you need?
maybe arctic silver ceramique will work
I know it's one of the best TIM's (thermal interface material)and does not conduct electricity. dunno about waterproofness
