Silicone foam solves buffering and vibration isolation solutions for new energy batteries

 

The advent of silicone foam further adds to the portfolio of battery gasket materials, a set of solutions designed specifically for the cushioning and vibration isolation of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the power source of choice for a new generation of electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles due to their high power density and charging efficiency, however, these batteries present a range of safety, longevity and performance challenges that require advanced materials solution.

 

Because of its inherent ability to generate very consistent forces across a wide range of compression, silicone foam has been well suited to support safety and reliability throughout the life cycle of new energy electric vehicle vehicles and has been used in the industry. is widely adopted. The compressibility curve of silicone foam illustrates its strength to withstand compressive and thermal stress over time, which is critical to ensuring stable performance over the life of the battery. Silicone foam can also extend EV/HEV battery life by optimizing internal pressure, thereby increasing charge/discharge cycles.

The silicone foam solution is unique compared to other battery foam pad materials on the market. Silicone foam is designed to apply the consistent push force critical to battery life and performance, maintaining a more constant push force over a larger portion of its compressibility curve, even as designers expand and contract the battery. Capable of meeting the start and end time requirements of the battery pack battery. Silicone foam is strictly 5% thickness and compression set (tested at 70°C according to ASTM D3574) and is a highly resilient silicone foam material that retains its original thickness throughout the life of the battery and performance.

 

Silicone foam materials are also particularly suitable for demanding applications such as anti-vibration pads for rotating, vibrating machinery applications or floor plan ductile rolling bearings for ventilation and air conditioning machinery and sub-system (cooling fans, cooling towers, pumps) applications. Silicone foam products can effectively deal with the problems of noise, vibration and instability in harsh natural environments such as industrial production machinery and equipment, crude oil/gas, power generation, and transportation applications.

 

For urban rail travelers, noise and vibration can sometimes be particularly annoying. Silicone foam products provide common silicone-based microporous foam materials and solid core materials that can be used for vibration management methods in various urban rail interiors. Special silicone foam can provide a variety of acoustic material solutions, block the transmission of sound and vibration, reduce noise, and ensure that passengers enjoy a comfortable experience.
