Specialized functional polymer solutions engineered for automotive electronics, PCBA component potting, and battery management architecture.
Analyzing thermal dissipation bottlenecks in modern high-voltage automotive battery management systems (BMS).
The automotive electrification revolution is transitioning toward 800V high-voltage platforms, Silicon Carbide (SiC) power electronics, and ultra-fast charging (XFC) protocols exceeding 350 kW. As electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) push the limits of power density and range efficiency, the Battery Management System (BMS) has become the core command architecture ensuring operational safety, cell state estimation, and cycle life longevity.
Within a distributed or centralized BMS architecture, key components—such as Analog Front End (AFE) cell monitoring integrated circuits (ICs), main Microcontroller Units (MCUs), passive/active cell-balancing resistors, Solid State Relays (SSRs), and current-shunt sensors—generate concentrated localized heat flux during continuous high-rate charging and dynamic regenerative braking. Failure to evacuate this thermal energy efficiently leads to junction overheating, thermal throttling, inaccurate voltage/temperature sampling, and potential catastrophic dielectric breakdown.
Higher system voltages demand exceptional dielectric breakdown strength (>25 kV/mm) to prevent high-voltage arcing, electrochemical dendrite migration, and creepage breakdown across tightly packed surface-mount IC leads.
BMS balancing circuits and fast-processing compute chips can generate heat spikes up to 125°C. Thermally conductive insulating adhesives eliminate air gaps, transferring heat directly to aluminum heat sinks and shielding enclosures.
BMS modules endure continuous high-vibration profiles (ISO 16750-3), rapid thermal shock cycling (-40°C to +150°C), and harsh humidity environments. Materials must provide low-modulus stress absorption and zero delamination.
Balancing high thermal conductivity with ultra-high electrical insulation in functional polymer adhesives.
Formulating an insulating adhesive for automotive BMS chips requires solving a fundamental physics contradiction: materials that conduct heat efficiently (such as metals or graphite) are electrically conductive, whereas classical electrical insulators (such as unfilled polymers) act as thermal insulators with low thermal conductivities ranging between 0.15 and 0.25 W/m·K.
Songxi Technology solves this challenge through advanced filler morphology engineering. By suspending precise multimodal particle size distributions of spherical aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), boron nitride (BN), and aluminum nitride (AlN) inside specialized low-viscosity silicone, epoxy, or modified polyurethane matrices, we establish continuous phonon-conduction pathways while maintaining complete electrical isolation and ultra-low dielectric dissipation factors.

Songxi Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of electronic adhesives. Based on silicone, polyurethane, acrylic, and epoxy systems, we provide reliable bonding, sealing, and protection solutions for power electronics, optoelectronics, new energy, automotive, and aerospace industries.
We are committed to becoming a trusted provider of functional polymer material solutions for the electronics industry. Through continuous innovation and application development, we promote the localization of high-end electronic adhesives and help intelligent devices achieve greater stability and durability.
Comprehensive adhesive, sealing, encapsulation, and thermal interface polymer architectures.
Songxi's business covers three functional areas: adhesive & sealing, potting & protection, and thermal interface materials. Our product portfolio includes PCBA fixing adhesives, UV adhesives, sealants, thermal conductive potting compounds, thermal greases, pads, two-component thermal gels, EMI shielding sealants, and reactive hot melt adhesives.
Our products serve power batteries, photovoltaic modules, drones, automotive electronics, 5G communications, and LED lighting. We provide both standard products and customized solutions for applications such as BMS conformal coating, IGBT thermal filling, and power battery structural bonding, supported by extensive technical experience and application expertise.
Comprehensive thermal, mechanical, and dielectric protection across critical battery electronics.
CSCs are distributed directly onto battery cell modules to measure cell voltages and temperatures with millivolt accuracy. Songxi's insulating thermal adhesive encapsulates the AFE ICs and active balancing switches. It bridges the microscopic gap between the IC package and the module casing, conducting balancing heat away while forming a moisture-impermeable barrier that prevents electrochemical silver/tin dendrite formation across 0.5mm-pitch lead frames.
The central MCU executes complex State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), and thermal runaway prediction algorithms in real-time. Operating at high clock frequencies, the MCU generates sustained thermal output. Our structural insulating adhesive secures the heat spreader directly onto the chip surface, offering low thermal contact resistance (Rth) alongside high lap-shear bonding strength to survive extreme automotive drop and vibration testing.
High-voltage battery disconnect units (BDUs) handle hundreds of amperes during vehicle acceleration and DC fast charging. Shunt resistors and pre-charge circuits dissipate substantial I²R joule heat. Applying Songxi high-dielectric thermal potting adhesives ensures rapid heat dissipation into the cold plate while maintaining galvanically isolated safety clearances compliant with ISO 26262 ASIL-D functional safety benchmarks.
Led by a Ph.D. in Polymer Materials from Sichuan University, Songxi's R&D team has nearly twenty years of silicone application experience and has participated in over 100 product development projects. We maintain cooperation with research institutions including Chenguang Chemical Research Institute, Sichuan University, and Beijing Institute of Technology.
Certified with ISO9001, Songxi operates a comprehensive management system covering procurement, production, inspection, and after-sales service.
