DELO: Thermally Conductive Battery Adhesive for Hybrid Vehicles
The adhesive allows battery cells to be bonded into a battery's housing while dissipating the heat generated during operation.
DELO now offers a structural adhesive for batteries used in hybrid vehicles. Designed for high-volume series production, DELO-DUOPOX TC8686 is thermally conductive and flame retardant. Instead of mechanically connecting the battery cells and then using gap fillers for heat dissipation, DELO-DUOPOX TC8686 combines connection of the thermal management system and structural bonding into one step, simplifying production.
Already being used by an automotive supplier in the ramp-up phase of production, this new adhesive is reportedly suitable for low-voltage batteries found in mild hybrid and conventional hybrid vehicles, as well as in e-bikes and e-scooters. The adhesive allows battery cells to be bonded into a battery's housing while dissipating the heat generated during operation.
