Inside CHT’s silicone applications for EV battery efficiency and safety At the forefront of silicone innovation, the CHT Group offers advanced solutions that optimize EV battery performance. CHARGED Electric Vehicles Magazine recently chatted with Gerry Ellis from CHT to learn more about its silicone products designed to meet the rigorous demands of EV battery technology. With products ranging from lightweight elastomers to thermally conductive silicone foams, Ellis described how CHT addresses industry needs for safety, efficiency, and longevity. CHT’s silicone products are engineered to deliver high-performance results in EV batteries. They offer features like low-density materials, flame resistance and thermal conductivity. Ellis presented a demonstration that showcased how these silicones seamlessly fill battery modules, insulating and protecting against thermal runaway. This practical display highlighted the precision and adaptability of CHT’s materials, which are designed to meet manufacturers’ stringent specifications. A standout feature of CHT’s offering is its one-to-one system for product mixing and application. This approach ensures homogeneous material distribution and simplifies the integration process for manufacturers. CHT works closely with partners to tailor solutions, providing support throughout the design process. This collaborative effort reduces development timelines and enhances the reliability of the final product, offering customers a significant edge in the competitive EV market. Looking ahead, CHT is pushing boundaries with lightweight materials and newly commercialized products that provide alternatives to silicone foams, giving manufacturers greater flexibility in optimizing battery systems. By focusing on both existing needs and future challenges, CHT is helping to drive the EV industry forward. For more information on their solutions, visit https://cht-silicones.com/.
