Innovative Electrification Solutions for Electric Vehicles

Improving Battery Performance with Thermal Mangement

Battery Box with gap fillers and adhesives

We specialize in developing world-class thermal management solutions that include thermally conductive (TC) gap fillers and structural adhesives shown in the image above. Our liquid-dispense, cure-in-place gap fillers provide low stress on batteries and improve thermal resistance when compared to thermal pads. Similarly, our structural adhesives couple high-bond strength with thermal conductivity for ease of use and cost-savings.

Battery Box with Potting and Encapsulant

As battery technology evolves towards increased energy density, the ability to manage heat during charge and discharge cycles is crucial for optimizing performance. Our CoolTherm potting and encapsulants, shown in the image above, are fully customizable and compatible with lithium ion cylindrical, pouch, and prismatic battery cells. Our structural adhesives allow design flexibility and the ability to bond a variety of substrates.

Featured Whitepaper

To address the emerging trends in battery pack design, new thermally conductive adhesive technology is needed, especially given the imposition of more demanding environmental and mechanical performance conditions.

This paper will review new developments in thermally conductive urethane adhesives that enable direct bonding of prismatic battery cells to aluminum cooling plates with the above requirements in mind. Comparisons to traditional battery pack configurations and associated adhesive solutions will also be discussed.

Design Benefits of Using Structural Adhesives to Assemble EV Battery Boxes

Traditional joining techniques in the automotive industry include welding and mechanical fasteners. However, many challenges arise when using these methods. By using structural adhesives, the need for mechanical fasteners as well as post-weld rework is eliminated. Adhesives also eliminate heat-affected zones and can double as a sealant.
