# Can SHEEN’s AF1000 Silicone-Free Thermal Pad Meet 130°C+ Thermal Requirements in EV Battery Packs?

Thermal design for EV battery packs has one critical mission: **move heat away from the cells quickly, safely, and reliably — without compromising electrical insulation or mechanical integrity.**

As EV battery architecture moves toward **CTP battery packs** et **800V high-voltage platforms**, the thermal interface system is no longer a simple “heat transfer layer.” It has become a safety-critical component that must handle heat, voltage, vibration, flame resistance, contamination control, and long-term aging at the same time.

The following table summarizes the key thermal management requirements for modern EV battery packs.

| Performance Dimension | Key Requirement / Target | Pourquoi c'est important |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ⚡ High Thermal Conductivity | Thermal adhesive / thermal pad: mainstream demand is around 3–6 W/m·K, with some applications requiring 5 W/m·K or higher.Thermally conductive plastics: typically around 1.5–3 W/m·K, and can approach aluminum-like performance through structural design.Phase change materials (PCM): typically around 5–15 W/m·K, often enhanced with graphene or other high-performance fillers. | Heat generated by battery cells must be transferred rapidly to cooling components such as liquid cooling plates, helping control the maximum cell temperature within a safer range of around 50°C. |
| 🛡️ High-Voltage Electrical Insulation | Breakdown voltage: typically required to be >5 kV/mm.Volume resistivity: typically >10¹³ Ω·cm. | 800V EV platforms place much higher demands on insulation. Thermal materials must transfer heat while preventing high-voltage breakdown and electrical safety failures. |
| 🔥 Flame Retardancy and Temperature Resistance | Flame rating: should meet UL94 V-0.Operating temperature: stable performance from -40°C to 150°C. | In a thermal runaway scenario, the material must not accelerate fire spread. The thermal interface material itself must not become a weak link in battery safety. |
| 🔧 Reliable Mechanical Performance | Bonding strength: structural thermal adhesives often require shear strength >8 MPa.Flexibility: elongation at break typically >100% to absorb vibration and shock.Low thermal resistance: compression behavior is critical; contact resistance is often reduced by controlled compression, such as a 2.0 mm deflection design. | The material must remain mechanically stable under vehicle vibration while filling micro-gaps between cells and cooling plates, reducing interface thermal resistance. |
| ⚖️ Lightweight Design | Low density: target is typically below 3 g/cm³, with some advanced materials reaching around 2.3 g/cm³. | Battery pack weight directly affects vehicle range. Lightweight thermal materials, such as thermally conductive plastics, can reduce weight by 25%–45% compared with aluminum structures. |
| ⏳ Long-Term Reliability | Low volatile content: for example, low-molecular siloxane content <100 ppm.aging resistance: should pass 1000+ hours of high-temperaturehigh-humidity aging, thermal cycling, or related reliability tests. | volatile substances can contaminate cells, connectors, bms circuits, cause materials to dry out and crack. ev battery must survive a service life 10 years more. |

according the af1000 silicone-free pad datasheet, **af1000 meet most critical management requirements for packs**, especially in conductivity, flame retardancy, contamination control, reliability.

however, one point be treated with engineering caution: **af1000’s breakdown voltage is slightly below>5 kV/mm benchmark often expected in some high-end 800V battery platforms.** For conventional voltage platforms or applications with additional insulation design, it can still be a very strong candidate.

## Key Technical Parameters:[AF1000](https://www.sheenmaterials.com/fr/resource/datasheet-download/) vs. EV Battery Pack Requirements

## Three Core Advantages of [AF1000](https://www.sheenmaterials.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/AF1000-20260304V0-%ef%bc%88EN%ef%bc%89Non-Silicone-Thermal-Pad.pdf) : Stronger Heat Transfer, Cleaner Chemistry, Safer Battery Design

- **High thermal conductivity — 10.0 W/m·K** With a thermal conductivity of **10,0 W/m-K**, AF1000 is far above many conventional 3–6 W/m·K thermal pads on the market. This means it can transfer heat from battery cells to the liquid cooling plate much faster, helping suppress temperature rise and improve cell-to-cell thermal consistency.
- **Silicone-free formulation** This is one of AF1000’s most important differentiators. Unlike traditional silicone-based thermal pads, AF1000 contains **no silicone oil and no volatile siloxane compounds**. That matters because silicone migration can contaminate precision BMS circuits, high-voltage connectors, and other sensitive electrical interfaces. In EV battery packs, contamination is not a small defect — it can become a serious reliability risk.
- **Excellent flame retardancy** AF1000 reaches **UL94 V-0** flame-retardant performance. In battery safety design, this is critical. When thermal runaway risk appears, the thermal interface material must help control the situation — not make it worse.

## Key Features: Why AF1000 Is a Strong Choice for EV Battery Packs

Beyond thermal conductivity alone, AF1000 fits EV battery pack applications because it addresses several high-priority engineering concerns at the same time.

- **🔧 Silicone-free design** AF1000 uses an acrylic resin-based system and contains no silicone components. This helps eliminate the risk of siloxane volatilization or silicone oil bleeding, reducing potential contamination-related failures in circuits, connectors, and electronic control systems.
- **⚡ High-performance heat transfer** Its **10.0 W/(m·K)** thermal conductivity enables efficient heat transfer from battery cells to the cooling system, supporting stable battery pack thermal management under demanding operating conditions.
- **🛡️ High reliability and safety** AF1000 provides strong electrical insulation performance and **UL94 V-0 flame retardancy**, both of which are essential for EV battery systems where safety margins cannot be compromised.
- **🎯 Strong application fit** SHEEN’s AF series is positioned for applications such as **Batteries pour véhicules électriques** et **BDU battery disconnect units**. From a product positioning perspective, AF1000 is highly aligned with the thermal, electrical, and reliability requirements of EV battery systems.
