General bonding


Our specialized adhesive solutions incorporate flame retardants that can help prevent the spread of flames in the battery pack. In the event of a thermal event, these flame retardants contribute to containing and suppressing the fire, protecting the battery pack and the vehicle’s occupants. Our adhesives enable the secure attachment of these fire barrier materials, ensuring they stay in place throughout the battery's operational life. This additional safety measure is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements and enhancing the overall safety profile of electric vehicles.



Heat distribution and thermal management


Effective thermal management is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of electric vehicle batteries. Our advanced adhesive solutions enhance heat distribution and facilitate efficient thermal management, ensuring that your batteries operate at the ideal temperatures. By bonding lightweight graphite layers, which are more efficient than traditional copper sheets, our adhesives help in maintaining homogeneous heat distribution across the battery cells. This not only improves performance but also extends the battery life by preventing hotspots and thermal stress.

Key features:

  • Homogeneous heat distribution: excellent wetting of substrates with our adhesives coupled with thin tape calipers means effective heat energy flow.

  • Lightweight solutions: bonds lightweight graphite layers as an alternative to heavier copper sheets, improving efficiency.

  • Secure bonding of thermal interface materials: efficient surface wetting enhances the transfer and dissipation of heat through thermal interface materials within the battery pack.

  • Thin bonding solutions: no need for costly thermally conductive adhesives as the resistance to heat flow is minimal

Applications:

  • Bonding graphite layers: uses adhesives to bond graphite layers for better heat distribution.

  • Thermal pads and interfaces: secures thermal interface materials to manage and dissipate heat efficiently.


Weight reduction


In the pursuit of increased efficiency and range, reducing the weight of electric vehicle batteries is a top priority. Our adhesives contribute to weight reduction by providing strong, lightweight bonding solutions that replace heavier mechanical fasteners and components. By using advanced materials and innovative bonding techniques, we help manufacturers achieve significant weight savings without compromising on structural integrity or performance. Lighter batteries contribute to better vehicle efficiency, allowing for longer ranges and improved energy consumption. Reducing the weight of electric vehicle batteries is critical for improving vehicle efficiency and range. Our adhesive solutions provide lightweight, yet strong, bonding alternatives.

Key features:

  • Lightweight bonding: replaces heavier mechanical fasteners with strong, lightweight adhesives.

  • Material efficiency: utilizes advanced materials that contribute to overall weight reduction.

  • Structural integrity: maintains strength and durability trough better stress distributions, despite reduced weight.

Applications:

  • Cell-to-cell bonding: uses lightweight adhesives for bonding cells together, reducing overall battery weight. Alternatively, PSA spacers can maintain cell spacing as a structural adhesive is introduced and cured.

  • Component assembly: efficient bonding of various battery components, consisting of complex material mixes including plastics and composite, contributing to a lighter battery pack.
