Gap Filler Helps Dissipate Battery Heat
Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 3010 APS extends the life of batteries through high-performance heat dissipation. The two-part, room-temperature curable gap filler is suitable for use in high-throughput assembly applications. Its 3 watts per meter kelvin thermal performance provides excellent heat transmission from the battery to the cooling system. The low pull-off force of the gap filler also enables easier repair and recycling of battery packs.

Structural Adhesives Bond Dissimilar Materials
Betamate structural adhesives and Betaforce multimaterial bonding adhesives enable engineers to design lightweight body structures and battery assemblies. They help bond dissimilar substrates, including aluminum, carbon-fiber composites, high-strength steel and plastics. Continuous bond lines in the structures add stiffness and strength for safety, while eliminating weight associated with heavier metal structures that use mechanical fasteners.
Flexible Laser Welder Improves Battery Production
The BLS 500 battery laser system is designed for welding tabs used in lithium-ion modules. The modular machine is suitable for all applications, enabling manufacturers to produce different product variants without having to change format parts. A flexible system enables tool-free clamping.
Silicones Feature Thermal Conductivity Properties
Three new silicone adhesives are designed for EV power electronics applications. DOWSIL TC-2035 CV delivers high thermal conductivity, a fast cure and room temperature shelf life stability for the assembly of electronic control units. DOWSIL TC-4551 CV gap filler features controlled volatility, which supports sustainability and regulatory compliance, and also helps avoid electrical contact failure that can occur due to the evaporation of volatiles. DOWSIL TC-4060 GB250 thermal gel supplies stress relief and shock damping needed for applications such as converters, inverters and onboard battery chargers.
