At the Battery Show Europe 2025, WACKER will be unveiling ELASTOSIL^® R 531/60 for the first time. The extrudable silicone rubber is used to reliably insulate busbars in high-voltage batteries (see enlarged section). In the event of a fire, the silicone ceramifies, enveloping the busbar with a stable ceramic layer that continues to electrically insulate the component. This protects the battery from a short circuit even in the event of a fire. (Graphic: WACKER)
