I am in need of a good heat conductor, but I can not have it conduct electricity.

It can be a spray, wrap, whatever. The heat conductor must be able to conduct heat effeciently, but it can not melt/dissolve or such at high temperatures.

it can not, in anyyn way, shape, or form, conduct electricity.

 

Thanks

Thermal paste/glue?

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Can't work. It's a liquid. It'll leave gaps between the 2 items

Ceramic would probably be the best thing I can think of then. (I'd say diamond would be better, but that's pretty damn expensive)

120v going through a metal wire coil that's copied around a copper tube. If the voltage from the metal wire touched the tube, it shorts the power out.

The coil can not touch the pipe at all. The paste will leave gaps between the coil and tube
