During the Battery Show 2019 in Stuttgart, Henkel will introduce new technologies that can provide cost-effective large-scale assembly and lifetime protection of battery structures.
Battery manufacturers currently face three major challenges: low-cost processes and technologies that allow high-speed assembly of batteries; thermal management to ensure safe and reliable operation, and meet UL94 flammability standards; and battery pack availability. Within the various control boards of the battery management system, rugged, high-integrity electrical interconnections are critical to the reliability of the battery's lifetime function. Henkel provides a comprehensive technology portfolio and application knowledge for the efficient assembly, operational safety and life protection of battery cells, modules and battery packs.
During the show, Henkel will launch the first product with a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W / m-K and a series of silicon-free, automation-compatible liquid fillers. In addition, Henkel also offers Gap Pad gap pads and silicone sheet materials for batteries, and thermal bonding solutions. This solution can provide structural shear strength greater than 10mpa. Due to its high ductility, it can overcome different thermal expansions. coefficient. To protect the battery packaging case from leaks, Henkel offers different liquid-sealing technologies, which are also used in automated robots. For ease of use or repair, these technologies also allow the top cover of the housing to be reopened. In addition, it has good flame retardancy and meets UL94 standards.
The newly developed Loctite Eccobond UF 1173 equipment protection primer is designed for high temperature, high reliability applications in automotive systems. This material is formulated with health and safety first; it does not contain REACH SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern) that need to be reported, nor is it a CRM classified material.
