Heat Sink Compound: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.30 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For heat sink compound, the drivers are density, conductivity, thickness, cut format, color, fire rating, thermal conductivity, viscosity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier listings show retail/low-MOQ pricing from about $0.25 per 1 g packet up to $28.53 for a 100 g tube, while bulk marketplace quotes commonly appear in the low-dollar or sub-dollar range depending on pack size and thermal performance. The biggest price drivers are thermal conductivity, whether the compound is silicone-based or metal-loaded, packaging size, and MOQ; true wholesale routes are OEM/ODM factory quotes, electronics distributors, and import/landed-equivalent offers on B2B marketplaces. For a mid-range custom configuration, realistic pricing usually comes from China-based OEMs or cross-border trade suppliers rather than US catalog sellers, which tend to price much higher at low quantities.
