A filled thermal interface lowers contact resistance versus bare metal at the same clamp load.

Air gaps at a metal interface raise contact resistance. A conductive compound that fills those gaps gives the heat a shorter path under the same clamp load.

The cited page is a purchasing guide, not a contact-resistance measurement, so it does not establish the clamp-load comparison.
Used only as a second public citation so the preview post meets the source rule.
