This case shows how HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound from Shenzhen Hanast New Materials Co., Ltd. helps EV charging pile manufacturers in North America build equipment that survives extreme climates and meets rigorous electrical safety expectations. With fast-charging networks expanding across the United States and Canada, charging pile makers need encapsulation that protects high-power modules from cold winters, hot summers and continuous high-voltage operation.
The customer is a North American EV charging equipment manufacturer producing DC fast chargers, AC charging piles and power distribution modules for public networks and commercial fleets. Charging stations operate in demanding conditions:
Charging modules switch high currents and generate significant heat, while outdoor installations expose electronics to moisture, salt and thermal extremes. The manufacturer previously experienced field failures caused by cracked encapsulation and moisture ingress. It needed a potting compound that would insulate high-voltage sections reliably, transfer heat to cooling surfaces, withstand thermal shock from -30°C to operating temperature, and support rapid production scale-up as charging networks grew.
HN-8806A/B, an addition-cure two-component silicone potting compound, was selected for its balanced combination of electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. It cures into a grey elastomer with no exotherm and no by-products, protecting sensitive power electronics during and after cure. Key technical data:
| 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 × 10¹ Ω·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 | Low shrinkage, deep-section curing, moisture-proof |
HN-8806A/B is packaged in 25 kg plastic barrels per component (50 kg/set) and classified as non-dangerous goods, simplifying cross-border shipment to North America. Keep containers sealed at 5-25°C; shelf life is 6 months from manufacture.
North America's EV charging buildout needs components that endure extreme cold, summer heat and continuous high-voltage duty. HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound delivers the insulation, thermal performance and mechanical protection that make chargers reliable for decades.
