Henkel introduces Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 3010 APS, a thermal gap filler solution for automotive manufacturers. The new product will help automotive manufacturers to develop and manufacture lithium-ion battery packs sustainably and cost effectively at the high volumes required to bring EVs to the mass market.
Efficient Silicone-free Technology
Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 3010 APS from Henkel is a two-part, room temperature curable gap filler suitable for use in high-throughput assembly applications. Its 3.0 W/mK thermal performance provides an excellent heat transmission from the battery to the cooling system and is based on a silicone-free technology addressing the challenging requirements in the OEM’s assembly line.
Additionally, the low pull-off force of TGF3010 APS support easier repair and recycling of battery packs. Based on its deep process know-how Henkel created the product to provide greater sustainability and efficiency at every stage in production.
Reduction in CO2 Emissions
The Gap Filler is supplied in reusable drums designed to maximize filling volume, thereby reducing CO2 emissions through fewer transports and to minimize halts on the production line. The drums themselves can be reused to minimize waste and to increase efficiency. Henkel’s innovation has already been proven, enabling a large-scale customer to set ambitious goals to produce approximately ten million electric vehicles over the next few years.
Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 3010 APS extends the life of batteries through its high-performance heat dissipation but addresses different sustainability aspects at every stage of the value chain. The development and launch of Bergquist Gap Filler TGF 3010 APS under the Loctite brand ensure reliability and high-performance for the specific use case.
