In automotive and EV electronics, thermal and functional materials create low-thermal-resistance heat paths and stable interfaces for long-life operation in harsh environments. Sheen provides thermal pads, thermal gels/greases, phase change materials, silicone foam, thermally conductive potting compounds, and EMI absorbing materials to transfer heat to housings, heat sinks, or cold plates.

For ADAS/ECU modules, infotainment, OBC/DC-DC/inverters, and battery systems, these solutions help reduce hotspots, improve efficiency, support insulation safety, and maintain reliability under thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity—while enhancing sealing and overall system robustness.

Overview

Auto Electronics Thermal Materials Applications
Optimize thermal performance for automotive electronics by managing hotspots across ECUs, ADAS domain controllers, infotainment units, and power stages. TIMs help transfer heat from key ICs and power components to heat sinks or housings for stable operation.
Automotive environments demand reliability under thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity. A multi-material approach—thermal pads/gels plus silicone foam for sealing and cushioning—improves durability and reduces long-term failure risk.
Charging Station Thermal Materials Applications
Charging stations generate continuous heat in power modules, rectifiers, transformers, and control electronics. Thermal pads, gels/greases, and conductive potting materials reduce thermal resistance and improve efficiency at high loads.
Outdoor operation requires stable performance under wide ambient temperatures and moisture exposure. Reliable thermal interfaces and sealing/cushioning materials help protect assemblies, reduce downtime, and extend service life.
EV Battery Thermal Materials Applications
EV battery packs require temperature uniformity across cells and modules to support performance and safety. Gap fillers and thermal pads create consistent heat paths to cold plates or pack structures, helping control hotspots.
Materials must withstand compression set, vibration, and long-term aging while supporting insulation needs. Silicone foam and thermally conductive materials improve sealing, cushioning, and pack reliability over the full lifecycle.
BDU-NON-SILICONE THERMALMANAGEMENT-41
Non-Silicone Thermal Management
When silicone-based thermal interface materials are subjected to prolonged exposure to pressure and heat, the silicone-based polymers undergo thermo-oxidative aging.
Under these conditions, the siloxane bonds within the polymer backbone fracture and rearrange, resulting in the generation and subsequent exudation of low-molecular-weight siloxanes. This not only causes the material’s thermal conductivity to decay exponentially but also poses significant risks should these low-molecular-weight siloxanes migrate to the surfaces of adjacent components—potentially leading to connector degradation, optical lens fogging, or even device short circuits.
In contrast, silicone-free thermal pads utilize a silicone-free polymer system; as their raw materials contain no silicone molecules, they effectively resolve the aforementioned issues.
