This case demonstrates how HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound from Shenzhen Hanast New Materials Co., Ltd. safeguards battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Europe. As Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Southern Europe expand grid-scale and home storage capacity, BMS manufacturers need encapsulation that performs from freezing Nordic winters to warm Mediterranean summers. HN-8806A/B offers the wide temperature range, flame retardancy and long-term reliability that European energy storage projects require.
The customer is a European energy storage system integrator producing battery management systems (BMS), power conversion units and monitoring electronics for residential and commercial BESS installations. Its operating environments include:
Battery systems place unique demands on encapsulation materials. Rigid resins can crack at low temperatures and transfer stress to BMS boards, while poorly insulating materials risk leakage currents in high-voltage battery stacks. The integrator required a potting compound that stays flexible in cold weather, conducts heat away from power electronics, meets strict flame-retardant standards, and does not corrode sensitive battery monitoring circuits.
HN-8806A/B is a two-component, addition-cure silicone potting compound that cures into a soft, high-performance elastomer with no exotherm and no corrosive by-products - a critical advantage when potting directly around battery sensing electronics. Key properties for this project:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mix ratio (A:B by weight) | 1:1 |
| Pot life at 25°C | 18-24 minutes |
| Cure schedule | 2-3 h at 25°C, or 12 min at 80°C |
| Cured hardness | 45 ± 5 Shore A (grey elastomer) |
| Thermal conductivity | ≥ 0.76 W/m·K |
| Volume resistivity | 1.0 × 10¹Ω·cm |
| Dielectric strength | 25-30 kV/mm |
| Operating temperature range | -50°C to +250°C |
| Flame retardancy | UL 94 V-0; RoHS compliant |
| Cure characteristics | No heat, no by-products, extremely low shrinkage |
HN-8806A/B is supplied in 25 kg plastic barrels per component, is RoHS compliant and is classified as non-dangerous goods, simplifying EU import and warehousing. Recommended storage at 5-25°C in sealed containers preserves the full 6-month shelf life.
European energy storage demands materials that stay reliable from Arctic cold to summer heat while meeting the world's strictest safety and environmental rules. HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound delivers the flexibility, insulation and flame retardancy that BMS and power electronics need.
