Dow's DOWSIL EG-4175 Silicone Gel is engineered for insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules operating at higher voltages. Designed for demanding applications in electric vehicles, photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. Withstands temperatures up to 180°C. Reduces power losses, supports higher power densities and delivers improved vibration absorption. Self-healing properties repair microcracks, while self-priming adhesion ensures secure module protection without primers. The gel cures at room temperature for energy savings or can be heat-accelerated to shorten production cycles. EV battery voltages trends upward from 400V to 800V.
