The porous membrane separating the battery’s cathode and anode can melt in the heat produced by a fire, the thermal runaway of a nearby cell, or shorting out the battery, resulting in this cell entering thermal runaway.
The cell releases flammable gas as a result of the heat, which has the potential to catch fire. Due to their significantly higher energy density as compared to weight, lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries are typically seen in modern electric vehicles.
Lithium, manganese, cobalt, graphite, steel, and nickel are the main chemical components needed in lithium-ion batteries.
The Global EV battery fire protection encapsulants market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Henkel releases fresh fire safety products for EV batteries that are safer. OEMs and EV battery manufacturers are working to create more effective methods for producing batteries at scale as the adoption and innovation of EVs quicken. In the meanwhile, fire safety is still essential to guarantee that car batteries offer the highest level of protection in the event of accidents and fires.
This is particularly crucial as regulatory requirements tighten up. Therefore, EV battery safety measures that slow the development of fire are more important than ever.undertake this task Loctite EA 9400 and Loctite FPC 5060, two new protective coating products from Henkel, a significant partner in the automotive sector, are intended to protect battery housings from heat and fire in the event of a thermal runaway event.
The coatings, when applied to battery packs, aid in preventing and postponing the spread of flames to safeguard passengers as they flee the vehicle. In the meantime, their effective and economical application techniques guarantee that manufacturers may keep optimising battery manufacturing without sacrificing safety.
For both OEMs and battery producers, battery safety is a subject that is becoming more and more crucial. Any lithium-ion battery has the potential for thermal runaway events, but the trick is to keep such risks and effects to a minimum. By using efficient and doable solutions that can halt the spread of fire, Henkel is working to lessen the effects of such occurrences. This is necessary to give passengers enough time to get out of the car.
