Henkel Adhesive Applied sciences, a maker of automotive adhesives, sealants, thermal supplies and practical coatings,  has prolonged its portfolio of options for EV battery programs with a brand new injectable thermally conductive adhesive. The brand new adhesive, Loctite TLB 9300 APSi, supplies each structural bonding and thermal conductivity within the battery system. Henkel says the brand new product has already been adopted by a significant EV battery producer.

Designed for purposes akin to bonding battery cells to modules, or bonding cells on to cooling programs, Loctite TLB 9300 APSi is a two-component polyurethane thermally conductive adhesive with a excessive thermal conductivity of three W/mK, average viscosity, and self-levelling traits. Along with its warmth administration properties, it’s designed to ship a mixture of excellent electrical insulation with excessive bonding efficiency to quite a lot of substrates. It’s a solvent-free resolution that cures at room temperature with out the necessity for added vitality consumption.

“Loctite TLB 9300 APSi is a testomony to Henkel’s continued efforts to innovate new e-mobility options tailor-made to resolve right now’s battery manufacturing challenges and allow the next-generation designs of tomorrow,” mentioned Holger Schuh, World Senior Supervisor Thermal Applied sciences at Henkel. “Its quick adoption by a significant battery producer demonstrates our shut partnership with key gamers within the e-mobility trade.”

“Thermal administration in EV batteries remains to be one of many largest challenges for electrified mobility,” says Stephan Hoefer, World Market Technique Head for E-Mobility at Henkel. “New designs focusing on greater vitality densities in battery packs carry the requirement for multifunctional thermally conductive adhesives as a substitute of classical thermal hole fillers. Leveraging our robust innovation capabilities at Henkel, now we have began to launch a household of supplies various in thermal conductivity, bonding power, elasticity, and software strategies to handle these new necessities.”
