Automotive electronics are predicted to constitute nearly a third of the total cost of the entire car. Huntsman offers innovative solutions in the electronics industry to protect devices against chemical, mechanical and electrical loads, and in cleaning, stripping, and etching throughout the semiconductor manufacturing process.
Our wide range of thermal management solutions answers the most stringent requirements for electronics applications in the electrified powertrain.
The battery is the key component of any electrified vehicle, and improving battery efficiency, safety and cost are top priorities for vehicle designers. Encapsulation technology is a valuable tool to address these issues. Huntsman offers casting and impregnating resin systems for batteries, wire harnesses, connectors, sensors, switches and electronic control units.
Efficient heat dissipation is a critical element of e-motor designs. The use of potting or impregnating resins can dramatically lower operating temperature, resulting in higher power output, longer motor life and better reliability. Motors potted with highly thermally conductive materials have been proven to achieve better performance than unpotted motors.
Secondary insulation materials provide several essential benefits in e-motor designs. Impregnation and particularly potting can dramatically lower operating temperature, resulting in higher power output, longer motor life and better reliability. It also helps to reduce mechanical stress, protect windings from contaminants, and provide an optimal insulation structure. It guarantees strong and durable fixing of rotor coils, even when operating under high rotation speeds and challenging peak temperatures.
Power electronics are critical components of all electrified vehicles. Encapsulation technology can substantially improve the performance, efficiency and cost of these devices. Huntsman offers casting and impregnating resin systems for inverters, converters, electronic control units, wire harnesses, connectors, sensors and switches.
Automotive ignition coils are cast in filled epoxy resins, which penetrate voids within the winding and provide electrical insulation and heat conduction. Potting of ignition coils reduces transformer and inductor hot spots and extends component reliability and lifespan. Huntsman produces epoxy systems specially designed to insulate and protect high-voltage coil components.
