Innovations and Trends Positively Impacting Silicone Use in Electrical and Electronic Industries
Leading market players are prioritizing the development of innovative silicone solutions, such as high-performance silicone gel encapsulants engineered for high-voltage power electronics. These materials meet the increasing demands posed by electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructures, and compact, high-reliability electronic devices. Silicone gel encapsulants stand out by offering superior dielectric insulation, thermal and mechanical stress relief, vibration absorption, and self-healing characteristics, outperforming traditional silicones or epoxy encapsulants which often degrade under harsh conditions.
As an example, Dow Inc., a US materials science firm, introduced its advanced DOWSILEG-4175 Silicone Gel in September 2025. This two-part silicone gel withstands operating temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius and delivers self-priming adhesion, vibration dampening, crac*k self-healing, and enhanced dielectric strength. It is designed for next-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules used in electric vehicle battery inverters, photovoltaic, and wind energy systems. This gel supports emerging 800-volt architectures in EVs, allows for higher density module designs, and reduces the risk of power loss compared to older encapsulation materials.
