Power Electronics

Power Electronics are critical components of all electrified vehicles. Encapsulation technology can substantially improve the performance, efficiency and cost of these devices. Huntsman offers casting and impregnating resin systems for inverters, converters, electronic control units, wire harnesses, connectors, sensors and switches.

Epoxy Encapsulation of Power Electronics

Huntsman offers a wide range of heat-conductive potting materials under our trusted ARALDITE® brand for all the electronic parts in the electrified powertrain. ARALDITE® potting resins assure mechanical and electrical protection of sensitive devices subjected to challenging environmental conditions and avoid flame propagation in case of short-circuit.
