The Engine Compartment
Materials above 150 °C
A combustion engine is a hot piece of machinery, providing
extremly high temperatures. These temperatures
are not limited to the engine - thermal conductivity
brings heat stress to the vital electronic components
in the engine compartment. For their part, electric
vehicles create significant heat when electrical power is
converted from AC/DC or DC/AC or discharged.
Consequently, engine compartment electronics require
specific protection against thermal stress.
All these devices have electrical contacts and components
that need to be sealed and protected. We provide
conformal coatings (thin and thick film), potting compounds,
glues and adhesives, from hard elastomers to
soft gels, including innovative combined chemistries, to
meet the following requirements:
· Thermal conductivity
· Resistance to automotive liquids
· Balanced combination of mechanical rigidity and
flexibility to withstand high shock and vibrations
· Temperature compatibility from -60 °C to +250 °C
· Good adhesion
