The CoolTherm TC-850 thermally conductive structural adhesive is said to address common challenges such as poor heat dissipation, long curing times and material compatibility by delivering a thermally conductive, room-temperature-curing adhesive optimised for battery module assembly.
Battery pack manufacturers require adhesives that not only provide strong structural bonding but also aid in thermal dissipation and production efficiency. Traditional bonding solutions often fall short in one or more of these areas, leading to performance trade-offs.
An ideal alternative to other adhesives, which often lack the same balance of thermal performance, adhesion strength, and process efficiency, CoolTherm TC-850 offers:
• Higher elongation
• High adhesion to battery pack components
• Thermal conductivity
• Improved EHS Profile
• Redundant dielectric protection
• Highspeed application
• Minimised need for mechanical fastening
This new thermally conductive structural adhesive expands Parker’s CoolTherm portfolio of thermal management solutions for OEMs and battery producers as they strive to deliver safer and more efficient battery packs.
With a global presence and a network of technology experts, Parker is positioned to support its automotive customers as the adoption of electric vehicles continues to worldwide as the adoption of electric vehicles continues to accelerate.
“We are thrilled to introduce the CoolTherm TC-850 thermally conductive structural adhesive,” adds Seth Carruthers, market manager, APS Division. “By combining our two core competencies in thermally conductive materials and structural adhesives, we are able to deliver multi-functional materials to enhance our customers' battery pack performance and address the complex evolving needs of electrification.”
