Streacom TX13 has been designed to eliminate the guesswork involved in applying thermal paste and to help reduce the environmental impact of packaging, particularly from applicator tubes. To minimize plastic packaging waste, TX13 comes in a recycled cardboard envelope that contains coated foil bags and does not include a plastic dispenser, as you typically don't need one for most application methods. Each bag contains the recommended, tested, and pea-sized amount of thermal paste (0.25 g), which provides complete coverage for a standard desktop CPU IHS (~40 x 40 mm). Whether you believe in the "big blob in the center," "X marks the spot," or "spread it thin" methods, you can be confident that the amount used is just right for perfect CPU coverage. Individual bags also mean you know exactly how many applications you have left, and that the thermal paste is as fresh and consistent as it was on the day it was packaged.
