Henkel to showcase smart materials and processes for safer, cooler, and faster-to-charge batteries
Düsseldorf, Germany – Henkel will be attending the Battery Show 2021 in Stuttgart from November 30th to December 2nd, presenting its latest innovations in Thermal Interface Materials, Thermal Propagation Prevention, Adhesives and Gasketing, and Conductive Coatings at booth 366 in Hall 4.
“As a leading partner to the automotive industry Henkel is proud to be accelerating the journey towards electrification by enabling better, safer and more cost-effective battery technologies,” says Frank Kerstan, Head of Sales and Business Development e-Mobility Europe. “At the Battery Show Europe, we will be showcasing our comprehensive technology portfolio and breadth of material, equipment and process know-how.”
In advance of the Battery Show, Henkel held a technical web-seminar on November 11th. It provides an advanced look at the Thermal Propagation Prevention solutions being presented at the exhibition – in specific, epoxy- and water-based fire protective Coatings, Pottings and Foam Technologies. In these areas, Henkel is currently expanding its product portfolio with innovative, sustainable new solutions. To get a sneak peak of Henkel’s Thermal Propagation Prevention portfolio watch this web-seminar on-demand here.
At the Henkel booth, experts will also hold a product showcase about ‘Thermal Interface Materials and Thermal Propagation Prevention solutions for safer and more efficient EV Battery Systems’. During this showcase on November 30th at 14:00 CET, visitors can get detailed and vivid insights regarding the latest Innovations in battery technologies.
The integrity of battery packs and their protection from harsh external environments are essential to an electric vehicle performance. Henkel will showcase its comprehensive range of innovative adhesive and gasketing products. Henkel’s Technomelt PS 8226 EV is an EU REACH compliant, pressure sensitive hotmelt adhesive, designed for battery cell-to-cell bonding. This Tier-1 approved material can help Henkel’s automotive customers to increase the level of automatization, which usually results in higher accuracy and cost- and time savings.
Serviceable sealants will also play an important role at the Battery Show: “Loctite ESB 5100 is a great example for that. It has been designed amongst others for aluminium cases for battery packs that allow customers to re-open their components. It is a high quality non-reactive sealant with very high tackiness and shows a self-healing effect,” explains Marvin Romberg. Another technology to seal battery components is the 2-component sealing foam Fermapor K31 made of polyurethane or Fermasil made of silicone with UL-94 V0 approval allowing the housing to be repeatedly opened and re-closed for maintenance purposes. With both Loctite ESB 5100 or Fermapor K31 batteries are protected against moisture, corrosion, and dust.
