digikey Digikey: T-GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY TG-PP10-50, TG-PP10-500, and TG-PP10-1000 Thermal Putty Now Obsolete

Figured this was the best place to post this: 

 

Verified on Digikey site; received notice by way of email. Digikey's suggested substitute is not the same, nor does it's have the same specs/properties.

...just had 3x TG-PP-10 30 g delivered 'for a rainy day' (30 g was all that was left at DigiKey Canada)

Well thanks for the heads up. Bought 3 30g's as well. It says lasts for 6 months, but I have to believe if stored properly it can last longer right???

The 500g pot in my deep freeze would imply I concur...

I imagine my daughter finding it in the freezer thinking it was ice cream.

 

I was rolling my eyes at your one uppidness.

hmmm... i've known folks who've had at least 500gm of pot in their freezer now and then.

I'm not sure if the shelf life period refers to an opened tub (they seem vacuum-sealed), but it may be that the oils in the putty start either migrating or getting absorbed. Then again, this mostly refers to initial pliability, once applied, it will last much longer. In any case, I put the remaining 50g and the new 30g into a freezer bag and store it in the fridge (w/ warning label), rather than freezer. I have thermal TG-PP 10 thermal putty stored this way over a year old and it is still perfect, per recent use.

Awesome, thank you for the tip! You too @ArchStanton

I just ordered five of the 30gm ones myself. Still 33 left I believe.

 

Still have ~75 gms in the fridge from an earlier purchase.
