One-Spray EV Battery Coating Provides Water Resistance and Chemicals
AkzoNobel's Resicoat launches one-spray powder coatings technology for EV battery systems, enhancing safety and productivity with high dielectric strength.
Innovative powder coatings technology, which provides improved electrical protection for electric vehicle (EV) battery systems in just one spray, has been developed by AkzoNobel’s Resicoat brand.
There’s growing demand in the EV market for coatings with a high dielectric strength to help increase the safety of battery systems. The company’s Powder Coatings business has risen to this challenge by creating a solution that enables customers to reach the required film thickness with a single spray – helping to increase efficiency and productivity. Available in China, the new technology is suitable for battery system parts such as cooling plates, side plates and battery covers (enclosures).
The technology’s ability to build a consistent film with one-time application also means the entire process is more efficient in terms of increasing speed and production capacity, reducing man hours and improving asset utilization.
As well as boosting the safety of EV battery systems, AkzoNobel’s newly developed one-spray technology provides resistance against thermal shock, water immersion and chemicals.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 10th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the 10th quarter of work (April-June 2023). Here, we examine the effect of surface fluorination of Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation performance in terms of energy performance as well as formation of chlorate and perchlorate when chloride is present in the solution. The full paper on this work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24Feb2.
