Avery Dennison pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape solutions for EV charging stations are scalable, durable, and easy to apply. These versatile tapes offer dielectric strength, flame retardance, and resistance to UV, moisture, and temperature extremes.
The typical public EV charging station includes several components: A branded, weatherproof kiosk mounted on a concrete slab; a digital display and control buttons; readers for access and credit cards; a charging cable and connector plug; and communication equipment, such as a wifi antenna. Nearby is equipment such as a transformer, and infrastructure such as parking, lighting and signage.
EV owners want to charge and be on their way quickly, so they count on these components to work flawlessly. EV charging station manufacturers can rely on our PSA tape solutions to help them meet that expectation.
EV charging station manufacturers can use PSA solutions for a wide range of applications.
We’ll also work with EV charging station manufacturers to create customized tape, label, graphics and reflective constructions that address unique needs.
EV charging solutions need to be easy to use, robust and versatile. PSAs provide these advantages. For EV charging station manufacturers, PSA materials offer “peel and stick” ease, and many adhesives are highly repositionable. They provide a long-lasting bond and are engineered to withstand exposure to UV light, moisture and temperature extremes. And because they don’t have the limitations of less versatile bonding materials, PSA tapes provide greater design freedom.
And PSA solutions, whether off-the-shelf or customized, are easily scalable to meet EV charging station manufacturers’ production needs.
High-performance PSAs provide a long-lasting bond, and are engineered to withstand exposure to UV light, moisture, and temperature extremes. Tapes can be used to seal and fill gaps to help prevent ingress of moisture and other contaminants, helping reduce charging station downtime while increasing service life.
The Avery Dennison Volt Tough™ portfolio includes single- and double-coated tapes that incorporate dielectric films. These materials and adhesives are tested for breakdown voltage and dielectric strength requirements using GB/T 1408.1-2016 and ASTM D3755 test methods.
An alternative to mechanical fasteners and wet glue systems, PSA tapes offer “peel and stick” simplicity and can easily be repositioned. These lightweight, thin materials offer design freedom, reduce weight and promote sustainability. Our stampable dielectric solutions can be applied to a metal blank prior to stamping, helping to streamline workflows.
Effective gasketing is crucial in EV charging station manufacturing. Gaskets prevent the ingress of water and other contaminants, protect sensitive electronics, help prevent unscheduled maintenance, and help lengthen station life.
Durable PSA tapes can be paired with high performance gasketing materials, including foam, felt and rubber. These EV charging solutions provide the assurance that manufacturers need.
PSA solutions promote sustainable manufacturing in several ways. They can be converted to precise shapes and sizes, creating little to no material waste. They can usually be applied at room temperature and in just a few steps, reducing overall energy use. And because of their light weight, PSA tape bonding solutions make charging station components easier to transport from the factory to their destination, saving fuel and reducing emissions.
Modern adhesives are sophisticated and diverse. And the technology continues to evolve to provide new and enhanced benefits. The PSA tape value chain, meanwhile, has multiple players. The adhesive manufacturer, a functional material manufacturer, and a converter can all play a role in developing a PSA solution.
So it’s essential that EV charging station manufacturers find adhesive tape suppliers that can navigate these dynamics. Avery Dennison does so, routinely, for product manufacturers in numerous industries. And our innovative product portfolio is just the start of all we offer.
