Axalta to Showcase EV Battery Coatings
The company will unveil a portfolio of coatings that enhance the performance, durability, safety, and cost of electric vehicle batteries and motors at The Battery Show North America, September 14 -16 in Novi, Mich.
Axalta (Glen Mills, PA) will unveil a portfolio of coatings for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and motors at The Battery Show North America, September 14 -16 in Novi, Mich. The company will also introduce its latest Plascoat thermoplastic powder that delivers corrosion, dielectric, stone chip, and fire protection in a single layer of coating.
With the demand for electric vehicles skyrocketing, EV manufacturers are developing and buying solutions to power their vehicles, innovating to make them go further, and continually working to improve battery performance. Electric motors, batteries, and EV powertrain components require protective coatings to maintain optimal temperatures, reduce the risk of fire and corrosion damage as well as prevent electromagnetic interference.
The Axalta booth (1744) at The Battery Show will feature a range of solutions for battery cell, module and pack applications including cell can/holder protection, bus bar and module racking, thermal gap fillers, EMI/RFI shielding and corrosion, impact, dielectric and fire protection for battery enclosures. Axalta’s portfolio of electrocoats, thermoset and thermoplastic powder coatings, fire intumescent liquid coatings, and casting resins are stated to have been specifically designed for these battery applications.
Axalta will also unveil a new multifunctional thermoplastic powder at the event. Plascoat PPA571ES FR is designed to consolidate corrosion, dielectric, and stone chip protection in a single coating layer, saving battery space, production time, and cost. It is also stated to be fire retardant (self-extinguishing) and to protects the battery structure in the event of a fire.
