In EV battery packs and high-precision instruments, components must endure thermal stress and long-term mechanical vibration. Silicone Foam Pads offer unmatched low compression set and superior buffering through their unique cell-level micro-porous structure.

Material Science: Closed-Cell Architecture and Compression Mechanics

  1. Microcellular Structure and Compression Force Deflection (CFD): Silicone foam is filled with uniform closed-cells. When compressed, the trapped gas acts as a micro-airbag. CFD is defined as: CFD = F / A (Pure text: CFD = F / A, where F is the force required to achieve a specific deformation, and A is the surface area)

  2. Low Compression Set: Thickness recovery after long-term stress is the benchmark for quality gaskets. Lixing’s cross-linked siloxane network ensures minimal permanent deformation even at 150°C. C = ((t0 – t1) / (t0 – ts)) * 100 (Pure text: C = ((Initial thickness – Recovered thickness) / (Initial thickness – Spacer thickness)) * 100)

  3. Thermal Insulation & Flame Retardancy: The cellular structure reduces thermal conductivity. Lixing’s products achieve UL94-V0 rating, ensuring safety in high-voltage environments.

Industrial Applications

  • EV Battery Packs: Stress buffering between cells and IP67/IP68 sealing.

  • Telecommunication Enclosures: Long-term integrity under UV and vibration.
