Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are powered with lithium-ion batteries, charged by electricity, not combustion engines running on fossil fuels. Better. Cleaner. Kinder.

Siltherm have developed ultra thin thermal insulation panels to meet regulatory, and manufacturer mandated, battery safety requirements.

Siltherm panels can improve battery performance and extend battery life.

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION SOLUTIONS FOR THE EV MARKET

Siltherm supports the OEMs’ drive towards improved batteries with our lightweight, ultra-thin Silthin thermal insulation and fire barrier materials. Silthin products are direct descendents of our proven Passive fire Protect (PFP) solutions.

The unparalleled thermal resistance provided by Silthin microporous insulation makes the ideal choice to combine with customised outer coverings to create thermal barriers and fire protection solutions for lithium-ion batteries

Our products help to increase battery packing density, reduce weight, and have more efficient thermal management, while meeting regulatory and manufacturer mandated battery safety requirements.

Siltherm products mitigate thermal runaway in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Starting at only 2 mm thickness, our thermal runaway barriers can be tailored to perform in critical applications, including:

  • Cell-to-cell thermal runaway propagation
  • Battery pack and module barriers

Features

Silthin thermal barriers placed between pouch or prismatic cells in lithium-ion battery systems can provide precious minutes of protection from an adjacent cell that is undergoing thermal runaway. In cell- to-cell barrier applications, Silthin combines thermal protection to mitigate a thermal runaway event with the mechanical performance of a compression pad to maintain the correct pressure on the battery pack. These properties are essential to the long-term safety and performance of the battery system.

  • Battery Pack Passive Fire Protection

When used inside of the battery pack, Silthin can act as a thermal and fire barrier to help you meet regulatory and manufacturer mandated safety goals.

  • Superior Thermal Runaway Protection

Silthin thermal barriers placed between pouch or prismatic cells in lithium-ion battery systems can provide precious minutes of protection from an adjacent cell that is undergoing thermal runaway. In cell- to-cell barrier applications, Silthin combines thermal protection to mitigate a thermal runaway event with the mechanical performance of a compression pad to maintain the correct pressure on the battery pack. These properties are essential to the long-term safety and performance of the battery system.

Benefits

  • Optimise Battery Life Span
  • Improved Battery Performance
  • Silthin delivers the required thermal resistance in the thinnest available selection, helping OEMs to maximise their energy density.
  • Due to Silthin’s flexible format, it absorbs the daily breathing and progressive swelling prevalent in lithium-ion batteries, Silthin retains sufficient thermal resistance to mitigate thermal propagation up to the end of the useful life of the battery
