What are the Categories of Potting Compounds

Silicone thermal potting compound can be classified according to a variety of standards to meet the needs of different application scenarios. It should be noted that these classification methods are not independent of each other, and a thermal potting compound can belong to multiple categories at the same time.
So, when choosing a suitable thermal potting compound, it is necessary to make a comprehensive consideration based on the specific application requirements and environmental conditions.
 
Classification by curing method
  • Condensation type: Cured by moisture, easy to operate, but relatively low temperature resistance, suitable for normal temperature environment.
  • Addition type: Deep curing with platinum catalysis, high temperature resistance, no by-products, suitable for more demanding precision electronic equipment.

Classification by thermal conductivity
  • High thermal conductivity type: Thermal conductivity is greater than 1.5W/m·K, suitable for high-power devices such as IGBT, battery modules and other scenes that require efficient heat dissipation.
  • Medium and low thermal conductivity type: The thermal conductivity is between 0.5 and 1.5 W/m·K, which is suitable for equipment with general heat dissipation requirements.
 
Classification by fluidity
  • Low viscosity type: It has self-leveling properties and can fill fine gaps, which is suitable for potting of complex structures.
  • High viscosity type: It is suitable for vertical surface construction and does not flow, such as motor packaging.

Classification by components
  • Two-components (A/B): It needs to be mixed in a 1:1 ratio and the performance can be customized
  • Single component: Moisture curing, easy to operate, but the curing speed is slow, which is suitable for occasions with high requirements for operational convenience.
 
Classification by material
  • Organic silicone rubber type: It has good temperature resistance, electrical insulation and elasticity, and is suitable for scenes that require certain elasticity and weather resistance.
  • Epoxy type: It has high hardness and strength, good chemical resistance, and is suitable for occasions that require structural strength and chemical protection.
  • Polyurethane type: It has good elasticity and wear resistance, and is suitable for occasions that require impact resistance and wear resistance.

Application Of Silicone Potting Compound

Application in the new energy vehicle industry

In the field of new energy vehicles, silicone thermally conductive potting compound plays an indispensable role. For battery packs, by injecting potting compound into the gap between modules or cells, not only the heat is evenly distributed, but also the safety and life of the battery are significantly improved. In the on-board charger (OBC), potting glue effectively improves the heat dissipation efficiency and ensures the temperature stability of the charger when it works efficiently. In addition, the motor controller reduces thermal resistance and improves heat dissipation efficiency through the application of potting glue, ensuring its stable operation in high temperature environments.

Application in the LED lighting industry

The LED lighting industry also benefits from the technical advantages of silicone thermally conductive potting compound. In high-power LED lamps, silicone potting compound not only effectively conducts heat and reduces chip temperature, but also improves light efficiency and life, and provides excellent waterproof and dustproof protection. For car lights, the application of potting compound not only meets the heat dissipation requirements, but also gives the car lights excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, ensuring its stability and long life in harsh weather conditions.

Photovoltaic Energy Storage Industry Applications

In the photovoltaic energy storage field, the application of silicone thermal potting compound provides an efficient thermal management solution for photovoltaic inverters and energy storage battery packs. For photovoltaic inverters, silicone potting compound effectively improves heat dissipation efficiency, reduces temperature rise, and extends equipment life. In energy storage battery packs, the application of silicone potting compound realizes effective heat management and ensures the temperature stability and safety of the battery pack during charging and discharging.

Applications in power electronics and consumer electronics industries

The silicone thermal conductive potting compound has shown excellent application value in both the power electronics and consumer electronics industries. In the field of power electronics, equipment such as transformers, mutual inductors and power modules have achieved effective heat dissipation and electrical insulation through the application of potting compounds, significantly extending the life of the equipment and ensuring its stable operation under high temperature and high load conditions. For example, in transformers, potting compounds not only have good heat dissipation, but also provide additional insulation protection; the power module has significantly reduced thermal resistance and improved heat dissipation efficiency due to the application of potting compounds. In the consumer electronics industry, high-end equipment such as 5G base stations, server power supplies and AI chips also benefit from the technical advantages of silicone thermal conductive potting compounds. For 5G base stations, potting compounds effectively dissipate heat and improve signal quality and coverage; server power supplies ensure stability and reliability during long-term, high-load operation through the application of potting compounds.

How to use thermal conductive silicone potting compound?

Usage and precautions
  • Stir components A and B separately and evenly
  • Mix components A and B in a 1:1 ratio (volume ratio/weight ratio is acceptable)
  • Pour the mixed compound into the equipment to be encapsulated and let it stand to solidify (can be solidified at room temperature or heated)
  • To ensure uniform distribution of fillers, components A and B must be stirred separately before mixing to make the compounding agents evenly mixed
  • After mixing, agents A and B will react and solidify with each other, so they must be used up after mixing and cannot be reused after mixing and solidification
  • When pouring into the protective part, there should be no large debris or other contaminants in the protective part to avoid affecting the mutual adhesion of the material and the object
  • Before the material is completely solidified, avoid contact with other objects to affect the appearance and protective performance of the material
  • Do not put this product in your mouth or eyes. If it accidentally enters the mouth or eyes, please rinse with clean water or go to the hospital for treatment.
  • If high thermal conductivity is required, vacuum degassing is required before injection.
  • In low temperature environment, the curing time will be correspondingly extended.

Storage conditions and shelf life
  • The silicone potting compound should be stored in the original packaging and the lid should be tightly closed to avoid contamination (temperature: 15℃<T<30℃; relative humidity: RH<70%)
  • The shelf life is 6 months from the date of production
