As electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs and PHEVs), and their charging infrastructure become more widespread, manufacturers face new engineering challenges. The push for sustainable transportation demands efficient storage and delivery of electrical energy, requiring battery systems that are not only powerful but also highly efficient.
To achieve this, battery packs must become more energy-dense while delivering higher power outputs. However, this increased power leads to greater heat generation in compact spaces, making effective thermal management essential for ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Introducing Matrix Technology’s High-Performance Thermal Gap Filler
To address these challenges, Matrix Technology introduces a high-performance, two-component (2K) cure-in-place thermal gap filler designed to meet the demands of EV and hybrid vehicle applications. Offering a thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/m-K, this advanced material provides an alternative to hard-curing thermal interface materials, ensuring better performance and improved application flexibility.
Unlike rigid thermal materials, this soft-curing thermal gap filler minimizes stress on sensitive electronics. Once cured, it forms a low-hardness (50 Shore 00) gap pad, maintaining effective thermal contact while reducing mechanical stress on surrounding components. This flexibility is particularly valuable in battery systems that experience frequent thermal expansion and contraction, where brittle materials may crack or cause component damage.
Additionally, in applications requiring future maintenance or rework, the soft nature of this material allows for easier disassembly and repair, making it a practical choice for long-term usability.
Optimized for Automation: Low Viscosity and Rapid Cure
Designed for high-volume manufacturing and precision application, this two-component dispensable thermal material offers outstanding flow properties, making it ideal for filling complex geometries and enhancing heat transfer efficiency.
Key benefits include:
-
1:1 mix ratio for simplified dispensing
-
Compatible with manual or automated dispensing equipment
-
Low viscosity for excellent surface conformity and air displacement
-
Snap-cure technology for fast processing and minimal oil bleed
The snap-cure feature enables the material to reach its final form quickly, ensuring a fast, efficient production process while preventing oil migration that could compromise performance. These advantages make it highly suitable for automated assembly lines, from prototyping to large-scale manufacturing.
