During the charging cycle of electric vehicles high temperatures are generated which need to be managed as they have a negative effect on the performance and lifetime of the components.

Thermal Interface Materials are the materials of choice as they:

• effectively dissipate heat and
• support heat management in the charging infrastructure.

Highly filled but still low viscous Casting & Potting materials are used for the protection of components like inverter or converter of a charging infrastructure.

They offer the benefits of:

• high thermal conductivity
• self-levelling materials
• void-free filling
• excellent electrical properties
• good chemical resistance
• good thermal properties

Gap Filler which are higher viscous and thixotropic by design are used in areas where material flow is not needed. Benefits gained by Gap Fillers are:

• high thermal conductivity,
• application in bead form 
• easy to dispense,
• excellent electrical properties,
• good chemical resistance, and
• good thermal properties.

The materials are easily applied with standard mass production equipment. The ELANTAS ELAN-tim Portfolio offers different chemistries to find the right fit for the application.
