Fast-cure thermal adhesive revolutionizes EV battery pack design

As EV manufacturers push the boundaries of efficiency, safety, and performance, innovations in thermal management and structural bonding have become increasingly important. Parker’s CoolTherm TC-2002 thermally conductive adhesive addresses a critical need in battery pack design, offering both mechanical stability and efficient heat dissipation, writes Peter Donaldson. CoolTherm TC-2002 was developed to meet a previously unaddressed demand for a fast-curing, thermally conductive metal bonding adhesive. “There was an unmet need for a fast room-temperature curing metal bonding adhesive with 1 W/mK thermal conductivity,” says Eric Wyman, global business development manager at Parker Hannifin.
