If you're looking to optimize performance and safety in your battery module design, be sure to attend the SAE AeroTech Conference on June 2-4 in West Palm Beach, Florida. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from CHT Group's Kate Sincerbox, Applications Manager, as she discusses key performance attributes and sustainability considerations, demonstrating how CHT silicone foam technologies are supporting evolving requirements for safety, weight reduction, and long-term reliability.
Silicone Foam Solutions: Driving Efficiency and Reliability in Manufacturing
June 2, 2026
3:30 PM-4:00 PMET
Advanced Manufacturing and Materials | Ballroom C | Technical Presentations
Lightweight, flame-retardant materials are critical for aerospace and advanced electronic systems that require thermal protection, noise dampening, and environmental resistance with minimal added mass. Silicone foams are protective encapsulation materials for demanding environments. These silicone foams provide protection against thermal exposure, moisture, noise/vibration abatement, and mechanical shock while reducing overall system mass compared to conventional potting materials. By leveraging the inherent flexibility and environmental durability of silicones within a cellular structure, significant weight reduction can be achieved without compromising performance. The foam systems are engineered for efficient dispensing, enabling simplified processing. Additionally, material sourcing and supply chain considerations are integrated alongside performance and manufacturability to ensure all materials meet sustainability criteria. This presentation will discuss key performance attributes and sustainability considerations, demonstrating how CHT silicone foam technologies are supporting evolving requirements for safety, light weighting, and long-term reliability.
