Dave, I am puzzled a bit because some things you say sound as if you do understand silicone chemistry and other things appear woefully contradictory.

A monodisperse silicon grease cannot separate because it is a pure compound and completely uniform. A specific example is Dow Corning "High Vacuum Grease Silicone Lubricant" sold in 2oz containers. It is stable from -40 to +400F and has a less than 1 micron vapor pressure over this range. No "oil" will ever come from this material unless you alter it chemically (for example by chemical attack or thermal degradation).

Party me for being politically incorrect, but you statement is, simply put, wrong.

As I explained, you are correct in that I do not know all of the slick and deceptive marketing terms used with highly marked up goo that is sold to relatively unsophiscated (unsophisticated as to materials, heat transfer, and chemistry) users and home computer builders.

As for experience, I am an expert in materials *and* electronics and have been doing this stuff for substantially more time than you mentioned.
