Michigan headquarters Materials Science Company Dow has released a new Silicon gel that makes higher voltages possible in devices such as Solar-Omwers, Wind turbines and EV batteries (EV).
Dubbwed Downsil EG-4175 Silicone gel, the company says that it resistance offers the temperatures up to 180 ° C for the next generation of insulated port bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules.
“The launch supports important trends in EVs and renewable energy,” the company said in a statement. “In EVs, the battery voltages increase from 400 V to 800 V. In PV panels and wind turbines, the power densities of inverters are increasing. This improves power efficiency and supports the treatment of larger electrical loads. With higher junctions associated with higher voltages and larger teches of the 7th, a electrical loads, te -ttnegs, tertifications, tertifications, ttnemings, tt teches, ttnemings, ttnemings, ttnemings, ttnates, ttnemings, ttnemings, tennis. -Technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology, a siliconege technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology, a silicone technology.
The American company said that the new material absorbs vibrations and has self -healing properties that repair small cracks without external intervention. It also has self -assured adhesion for improved module protection and treatments at room temperatures, while heat -sensitive curing can also be used.
“DOW is upgrading our IGBT material portfolio to tackle the emerging trend to reach higher energy densities,” said Cathy Chu, global strategic marketing director, Consumer & Electronics, Dow. “With its resistance with a higher temperature compared to established materials, this new silicone gel will enable our customers to design and produce IgBT modules with a higher density with a greater efficiency of the power system.”
