A phenomenon that may impact lithium-ion batteries and valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, among other rechargeable energy storage devices. When the temperature within one of the battery cells rises quickly, a dangerous circumstance develops.
Solutions for integrated EV battery thermal runaway prevention include flame-rated electrical insulation, cooling fins, or heat spreaders with compression pads to segregate li-ion battery cells.
A thermal runaway happens if one exothermic action activates another, eventually leading in an uncontrollable increase in temperature. This can cause the battery to be destroyed or, in extreme situations, to catch fire.
The Global EV Battery pack thermal runaway protection system 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 launches new fire protection solutions for safer EV batteries.As EV innovation and acceptance pick up speed, OEMs and EV battery makers are working to find more effective ways to produce batteries on a large scale.
To ensure that vehicle batteries offer the highest possible safety in the case of accidents and fires, fire protection is still essential. This is especially crucial when regulatory requirements get stricter. Therefore, it has never been more important for EV battery safety technologies to stop the spread of fire.
Assuming this challenge, In order to protect the battery housings from heat and fire in the event of a thermal runaway incident, Henkel, a significant partner to the automobile industry, has introduced two new protective coating products: Loctite EA 9400 and Loctite FPC 5060.
The coatings serve to prevent and impede the spread of fires when applied to battery packs, protecting the passengers as they flee the vehicle. Manufacturers can continue to maximise battery production while maintaining safety thanks to their effective and affordable application techniques.
Thermal runaway events can happen when a battery cell enters a heating state and starts a fire that spreads to nearby cells, regardless of whether they are caused by mechanical, thermal, or electrical accidents.
Battery safety solutions aid in reducing or delaying such occurrences, extending the window of opportunity for vehicle escape. Regulation of this window of time is becoming more common.
