Breaking Down Technical Requirements

When selecting thermal adhesives for battery packs, engineers prioritize three key parameters:

Real-World Case: Solving EV Battery Overheating

A leading European automaker reduced thermal hotspots by 68% using EK SOLAR's XT-900 adhesive series. Their battery packs now achieve:

• 15% longer cycle life
• 22% faster charging capability
• 40% reduction in thermal shutdown incidents

Selection Guide: Matching Adhesive Types to Applications

Not all thermal adhesives are created equal. Here's a quick comparison:

Silicone-Based vs. Epoxy-Based Adhesives

• Silicone types (e.g., EK SOLAR SC-300):
  • Flexible bonding for vibration-prone environments
  • Lower thermal conductivity (1.2-3.0 W/mK)
• Epoxy types (e.g., EK SOLAR EP-450):
  • Rigid structural bonding
  • Higher conductivity (4.5-6.0 W/mK)

Future Trends in Battery Thermal Management

The industry is moving toward multi-functional adhesives that combine:

• Phase change materials for heat absorption
• Electrical insulation properties
• Flame retardant additives

Did you know? New hybrid adhesives can reduce battery pack weight by up to 15% while maintaining thermal performance – a crucial factor for aerospace applications.
