Adhesive tape solutions for EV battery cell wrapping applications

Dielectric cell wrapping films are emerging as an electrical insulation solution for the arcing challenges within EV battery packs. The high voltages dispersed by cells can move to other components in the pack, resulting in shortened battery life and safety issues. 

In addition to providing electrical insulation, cell wrapping films offer corrosion resistance, a reliable bonding surface and desired aesthetics. And due to their thinness, consistency and durability, these films are frequently preferred to spray coatings.



Pressure-sensitive tape cell wrapping films offer many advantages

To help engineers and other members of the value chain solve for arcing, Avery Dennison offers a range of cell wrapping film products:

  • Double-layer PET facestock options for dielectric protection redundancy

  • Single-layer PET facestock options for lower cost

  • Blue, yellow and gray color options for various aesthetic requirements

  • Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive that meets cell producer performance expectations by passing peel, shear and long-term aging requirements

  • Options made in the U.S. for Inflation Reduction Act compliance
