| Battery monitoring systems – battery
monitoring systems are increasingly used in automobiles and also in batteries
for hybrid vehicles. The electronics of the smart battery as well as the
battery itself can benefit from many silicone material functions. Click below
to get the first technical details, and contact Dow Corning for more

 | Encapsulants |
| Encapsulants (or pottants) are
protective materials used to completely embed electronic circuitry. Typically,
they are used to isolate circuits from the harmful effects of moisture and
other contaminants, to provide electrical insulation for high voltages and to
protect a circuit and interconnections from thermal and mechanical stresses.
Encapsulants are typically applied in thick layers exceeding 125 mils. |
| Thermal interface - Wet
dispensed |  |
| Dow Corning supplies a
line of thermally conductive materials, including curing adhesives, gels and
encapsulants, plus non-curing compounds. The materials are supplied as liquids
and pastes that are dispensed or printed when used. |
 | Thermal interface -
Pads and films |
| Dow Corning supplies many types of
thermal interface materials such as fabricated films and pads, which do not
need to be dispensed or cured. These include thin thermal pads, gap fillers and
phase change films. Fabricated films and pads are supplied ready to use for
those who prefer not to utilize curing processes. |
