Battery Pack
Looking for greater flexibility with product design? Our broad array of proven thermal interface solutions, from silicones to polyurethanes, leverage our materials science knowledge and industry expertise to drive both electric and hybrid vehicle battery pack development.
VORATRON™ and DOWSIL™ technologies are up to the task. Want to extend the life of your battery, increase safety, or lower energy consumption of your batteries? We have solutions for that too.
Let’s reimagine the safety and performance capabilities of EV and hybrid battery packs together.
VORATRON™ Adhesives for battery assembly wins 2023 Edison Award
VORATRON™ MA 8200 series polyurethane adhesive was awarded a Silver medal in the Enhanced Performance category of the 2023 Edison Awards.
This MobilityScience™ technology not only offers outstanding bonding strength – it satisfies the most demanding performance and quality needs for any type of cell or battery. With innovative detachable solutions, this material also helps support sustainable battery recycling and environmental goals.
Battery Fire Protection
Take on the heat with Dow silicone solutions for your battery fire protection challenges.
Passenger safety within an electric vehicle is of paramount concern. Increasing standards to address concerns are driving the need for improved battery safety and materials for mitigation of thermal events such as fire, explosion, or smoke.
Silicones offer several material advantages for thermal mitigation, including fire-retardant properties and a unique capacity to self-extinguish, avoiding propagation when flames ignite. Additionally, they offer performance over a wide temperature range and can withstand high temperatures from electric vehicle thermal runaway.
Silicone materials are available in different formats, offering a range of thermal insulation and fire protection performance for different cell types and module and pack configurations.
Dow offers a broad product portfolio of silicone materials for battery fire protection, including:
- LSR coatings and encapsulants offering rapid room-temperature cure, thermal and flame protection.
- Foams offering rapid room-temperature cure, encapsulation, vibration reduction, thermal and flame protection.
- HCRs offering rapid cure, electrical insulation, superior thermal and flame protection.
Electronic control unit assembly
Do you need a reliability boost for electronic control unit (ECU) assembly? If so, we designed DOWSIL™ to safeguard modules against the risks caused by electrical failures and overheating.
With a range of protective solutions including coatings, gels, encapsulants and specialized solutions, you can rely on Dow’s technology to ensure the dependability of your module.
DOWSIL™ EC-8425 Electrically Conductive Adhesive
An electrically conductive adhesive for grounding, bonding and shielding interference applications with durable mechanical and conductive properties and reliable performance at high temperature and vibration.
EV Controllers
Controllers are key to making sure your electric vehicle can effectively control speed and acceleration while also helping prevent accidents and collisions. Important design tasks such as these need to be supported by reliable, proven technologies, like those offered by Dow.
