Thermally Conductive Potting & Encapsulation
Potting and encapsulation products deliver a robust thermal interface and electrical insulation resulting in reliable electronics. These CoolTherm thermally conductive solutions improve performance by dissipating heat, protecting fragile components, and reducing stress. The products can be used on electric vehicle batteries, motors, and chargers, as well as other power electronics.
Non-Thermally Conductive Potting & Encapsulation
Not every design requires heat management. These materials are crucial in applications where fragile electronics need to be protected from environmental and chemical corrosion and vibration. Our potting and encapsulants can be used for the electronic assembly of ignition coils, printed circuit boards, engine control modules, transmission control modules, sensors, power supplies, transformers, and other critical electronic equipment.
Differences in Thermally Conductive Chemistries
One Company, Multiple Chemistries
With the increasing demand of electric vehicles, we're formulating silicone, epoxy, urethane and acrylic chemistry solutions to meet the thermal management needs of our customers.
Applications
Battery Packs
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 thermal management materials are fully customizable and compatible with cylindrical, pouch and prismatic battery cells.
Charging Systems
CoolTherm solutions improve proper heat flow in inductors and transformers, optimize performance during charging and discharging, and increase product longevity. Since these products have a low viscosity, they flow easily into the tiniest crevices, enabling better impregnation of irregularly-shaped magnetic components and helping to reduce inductor hum.
Electric Motors
Thermally-conductive epoxy and silicone encapsulants help manage heat,which enables you to increase the power density and life of your electric motor. Our studies have shown a temperature decrease of up to 50°C or an increase in power output up to 30% when using CoolTherm materials.
