The technology’s ability to create a uniform coating with a single application leads to greater efficiency by boosting speed and production capacity.
At a time when demands for EVs are increasing worldwide, complete protection for vehicle’s batteries has become an urgent need. In this context, a Dutch multinational company introduced a powder coating technology to provide improved electrical protection for EV batteries.
The newly-developed solution by AkzoNobel’s Resicoat brand increases the battery’s safety in just one spray. The innovative product is claimed to be suitable for battery system parts, such as cooling plates, side plates, and battery covers (enclosures).
The solution also allows customers to reach the required film thickness. Currently available in China, the technology’s ability to build a consistent film with a one-time application is more efficient in terms of increasing speed and production capacity.
It also reduces required man-hours and improves asset utilization, according to AkzoNobel.
A clear need within the industry
“We’ve developed innovative technology which addresses a clear need within the industry and helps to improve safety,” said Jeff Jirak, Director of AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business.
“It’s an important breakthrough which means customers no longer have to spray twice or more to achieve the right thickness for providing high dielectric strength.”
Also boosts safety against thermal shock
The one-spray technology also boosts safety against thermal shock, water immersion, and chemicals.
Comprising an array of specialized products, Resicoat claims that its product’s range is engineered for the unique challenges faced by electric vehicle and battery manufacturers.
“Whether it’s battery cells, motors, or cooling systems, we provide coatings with top-notch electrical insulation and unmatched corrosion resistance. Choose Resicoat for solutions that aren’t just about today but also for the road ahead,” says the company on its website.
It maintained that when it comes to outstanding cell-to-cell electrical insulation, Resicoat EVcell powder coatings lead the pack.
Expertly formulated for the diverse battery designs of electric vehicles, they’re especially adept at protecting intricate designs, be it cylindrical or prismatic cell surfaces, according to Resicoat.
“Beyond their high dielectric strength, they stand out with extraordinary adhesion qualities. And when things heat up, trust them to resist thermal shocks, ensuring your components stay protected and efficient.”
“Thanks to decades of knowledge and non-stop innovation, we understand how exceptional powder coatings, combined with the right application technique, can provide consistent electrical insulation throughout the life of key battery system components,” added Jirak.
“It’s further proof of our commitment to supporting our customers through partnerships and product development to create, fuel and protect the innovations of the future.”
Resicoat claimed that its EL series has been developed for the electrical applications market to deliver exceptional levels of reliable and trusted protection in programs where failure to any degree is not an option, as some critical environments need powder coatings with superior levels of protection.
Applications are extensive, and include slot insulation, coil impregnation, core insulation, insulation of wire and bus bars and the encapsulation of electronic components (capacitors, resisitors, varistors). Typical objects are: bobbins, busbars, field coils, housings, rotors, stators, toroid rings, transformers and wire, according to Resicoat.
