Designing Better Battery Packs

In the battery packs of hybrid and electric vehicles (H&EVs), thermal management materials help maintain an optimum temperature across the battery pack.

Silicones, with their high thermal stability properties, are the favored materials for achieving this aim. Elkem offers a range of high-purity silicones for thermal insulation, heat dissipation and fire protection.

Silicones for thermal management from Elkem are available in foam, elastomer and adhesive form to cater to your specific design requirements.

Thermal insulation of the cells can mitigate thermal runaway

Elkem offers a range of foams featuring a low thermal conductivity coefficient. Bluesil™ RT Foams are ideal because of their high temperature resistance and thermal barrier qualities.  In addition, foams have relatively low densities that do not negatively impact total weight and energy consumption.
