Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs)

When mixed with fillers, silicone becomes the perfect thermally conductive material to prevent overheating of batteries, electronic control units and sensors as well as power electronics. Es verhindert, dass Ihre Batterien, Steuergeräte, Sensoren und Leistungselektronik überhitzen. Our silicone-based thermal interface materials are supplied in a range of viscosities, cure speeds and conductivities.

Silicone Resins for More Battery Safety

Novel EV battery safety concepts rely on silicone resins. Silicone-resin-based fiber composites offer an unprecedented combination of fire resistance and insulation. In the event of fire, they interact with fillers and fibers to form ceramic materials. Novel fiber composites for battery enclosures or heat shields protect the passenger cabin from high temperatures caused by a thermal runaway.

Silicones for More Efficient Production of Battery Modules

Batteries and especially pouch cell modules are high-volume products. Our gap fillers can be applied quickly yet gently by both high-volume dispensing and injection methods. They cure at room temperature and ensure efficient thermal transfer. Easy handling and high throughput are key to securing and maintaining cost and efficiency advantages in automotive production.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs) & Power Conversion Units (PCUs)

WACKER offers a wide range of silicone solutions for protecting electronic control units (ECUs) and power conversion units (PCUs). High-performance silicones ensure that key components are not damaged by heat, moisture, oxidation or vibration. What’s more, our silicone grades are ideal for encapsulating, sealing, and bonding.

IATF Certification for Silicone Manufacturing

The International Automotive Task Force published the IATF 16949 automotive standard in 2016. The automotive industry uses it to summarize the requirements that suppliers’ company structures and quality-management systems must meet. Many of our silicones that the automotive industry relies on are IATF-16949 certified. Auto makers can now obtain these directly from us.
