- Description
- The Multi-layer compression pad is a soft, compressible, multi-layer of mica and silicone foam pad. Used to keep a battery cell protected against overheating and catching fire between Li-ion battery cells. The compression pad consists of a layer of silicone foam which is cast directly onto a thin layer of phlogopite mica tape. The mica is agglomerated with high temperature resistant silicone resin which provides an additional layer of thermal protection. The pad is able to manage volume expansion of cells by maintaining an optimal compression level which keeps battery cells within a defined range of compression and it also limits heat transfer to adjacent cells by absorbing and insulating heat energy. Pad size is 115mm x 232mm and has an overall thickness of 1.6mm.
