Compared with traditional drive technology, the working efficiency of electric vehicle drive is significantly improved, and no emissions are produced. Even if the all-electric drive is not used, the emissions and energy consumption of vehicles using hybrid technology can be greatly improved. According to statistics, the annual growth rate of the automotive electronics industry exceeded 15% from 2013 to 2018, and hybrid and pure electric vehicles are expected to account for 1/3 of the total vehicle production in 2025. Driven by the trend of electronics, the research and development of high-efficiency electric motors has become a hot spot in the new energy vehicle industry. In electric drive systems, the amount of high-performance insulating materials and the demand for electronic bonding and thermally conductive potting materials have risen significantly, which means that the demand for connector harness seals and electronic insulation will greatly increase, and innovative electrode materials will be required. needs are more urgent. Strong silicone products have a rich product line, its innovative coil insulating silicone oil raw material, electronic bonding sealant raw material vinyl silicone oil and thermal conductive adhesive, and liquid silicone rubber product raw material silicone oil. The powerful silicone oil raw material has many advantages such as high purity and high quality, which is not inferior to the silicone oil raw material as soon as possible. Therefore, the downstream use of strong silicone oil products has good adhesion, sealing, vibration damping and electrical isolation to ensure the flexibility of the adhesive layer, prevent moisture intrusion, and provide long-term safety and reliability for the motor.

In addition to electric motors, downstream products of strong silicone oil can also be used in other aspects of new energy vehicles. Lithium batteries are the main power source of new energy vehicles, and their high-density energy storage is becoming more and more critical. Vinyl silicone oil is the main raw material of silicone rubber, which can be used for the potting of lithium battery electrical contacts, single cell potting and cooling plates. potting and sealing protection. Auxiliary charging and discharging devices such as fuel cells and batteries are usually used in new energy vehicles in combination.

In addition to the rapid development of new energy vehicles, lightweight is another important trend for the traditional automobile industry. The weight of a car directly affects its performance and emissions. To reduce body weight, more and more car engines are opting for oil pans made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or plastic. Previously, these components were mechanically bolted to the crankcase and needed to be sealed with sealant. Based on the lightweight design needs of automakers, many technology companies have successfully developed silicone adhesives for installing lightweight material engine oil pans. These products adhere to both aluminum and polyamide substrates, eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners when installing plastic oil pans. They have good sealing properties and are highly resistant to oily substances, heat sources and dynamic loads. These adhesives can be applied mechanically and cure rapidly at room temperature. The application of this product enables the installation and sealing of the oil pan to be completed in one step, thereby significantly shortening the assembly time of the production line, and greatly reducing the number of bolts and holes required in the traditional assembly process of the crankcase. Fast curing properties and good oil resistance make it an ideal adhesive for oil pans in lightweight materials.
