As growth in the EV industry accelerates toward a sustainable future, engineers need to meet multiple challenges. Silicone rubber is compatible with a wide range of materials used in EV manufacturing and combines thermal and electrical safety with proven performance. Check out this webinar recording to discover silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications.

RDAbbott is hosting a free webinar about SILASTIC™ silicones for EVs on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM (ET). Jake Steinbrecher, Technical Service & Development Scientist at Dow, will present silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications, such as cables, busbars, battery components, and automotive lighting.

Dow is sharing a Product Selection Guide with solutions for Battery Fire Protection (BFP) in electric vehicles (EVs). Thermal runaway, a phenomenon that occurs when a battery cell starts to heat up uncontrollably, remains a risk with lithium-ion batteries. Silicones offer a unique set of properties that make them well-suited for BFP in EVs.
