Summer battery overheating incidents at charging stations have driven demand for high-thermal-conductivity silicone rubber. A top battery manufacturer now uses phenyl silicone rubber as thermal interface material (TIM) between battery cells, withstanding -60°C to 250°C and doubling thermal conductivity compared to traditional options. Combined with liquid cooling, it maintains battery pack temperature differentials below 5°C under extreme heat. Automotive silicone thermal materials saw a 47% YoY growth in 2023, with Tesla and BYD accelerating R&D in silicone-based thermal management systems.
