To advance the evolution of electrification, it is key to develop reliable materials that are able to protect the EV battery from thermal runaway and environmental conditions.

The battery is the heart of an electric vehicle. Therefore, it is vital to find a high performing potting material that can control and extinguish any thermal event that may occur within the battery to maintain safety for the end user and overall battery success.

Our wide product portfolio has many epoxy resins and polyurethanes to solve these EV challenges.

CASE STUDY: Mitigating Thermal Runaway  The challenge in this study was to find a material to mitigate thermal runaway and it’s propagation within battery cells. The solution was a potting compound that stops propagation.

Safety is at the forefront of concerns when testing an e-bike or LEV battery pack for use in everyday life.
The challenge in this study was to find a material to mitigate thermal runaway and it’s propagationwithin battery cells. The solution was the use of a potting compound that stops propagation.

 

 

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE Epic S7253-01 is formulated with a unique combination of both mineral and non-halogenated flame retardants, with an emphasis on particle size distribution to create a protective firewall between battery cells. Results of a laboratory induced thermal runaway event showed there was no  propagation. However, the failure criteria is not more than six cells or the cells immediately surrounding the initiation cell. Summary of Customer’s Results & Benefits: ➧ Provided propagation mitigation needed ➧ Excellent thermal conductivity of 0.78 W/mK ➧ Workable viscosity ➧ Adjustable reactivity ➧ Convenient mix ratio for high volume production ➧ Safe and high quality end product
