Silicones for electric vehicles

Silicone chemistry is widely used within current automotive applications due to its inherent physical properties including, a wide operating temperature range, electrical insulation, high dielectric strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

Advances in Electric & Hybrid Vehicle design continue to reduce component size and increase power output, resulting in an ever-increasing demand for greater protection and better heat dissipation to maintain performance and life span. New filler technologies combined with formulating techniques enable CHT to increase thermal conductivity across a range of silicone materials including, adhesives, gap fillers, encapsulants, greases and gels.

Silicones can provide:

• More efficient heat dissipation
• Increases in thermal conductivity
• Effective bonding and sealing
• Electrical insulation

• Protection from moisture and chemicals
• Protection from thermal stress, vibration and mechanical shock

Within the design of electric vehicles, silicones are providing engineering and manufacturing solutions for use in charging units, inverters, electric motors, battery packs, wiring, connectors, sensors, displays and control units. Download our Electric Vehicle brochure for more information.
