Polyurethane Foam Protects Electric Vehicle Batteries
Shokless foam systems feature lightweight, durable polyurethane that has been developed for the potting and fixation of cells mounted in EV batteries. The new range also includes products that can be used as a moldable encapsulant in battery modules or packs. They safeguard the structural integrity of EV batteries in case of impact or a thermal event.

Leak Tester Measures Tightness of Battery Cells
The ELT Vmax tests the tightness of battery cells filled with liquid electrolyte—whether lithium-ion or sodium-ion cells, prismatic, round and button cells with a rigid housing, or pouch cells with a soft, bag-like housing. Designed for installation in 19-inch racks, the device detects electrolyte leaking from filled cells in a vacuum chamber. It is designed for flexibility and easy integration into test systems on mass-production lines.

Sealants Enable Immersion Cooling of EV Batteries
Polyurethane-based potting compounds and sealants are designed for safe and reliable immersion cooling applications. They enable faster charging times than with conventional indirect cooling methods. They permanently seal the 0.1 to 0.2 millimeter gaps that arise when battery cells are inserted into a housing. Their thixotropy has been adjusted so that they do not flow into gaps during production of battery stacks.

High-Current Ring Terminals Secure Wire Attachments
BT-Series heavy-duty battery terminals are made from 0.060-inch thick brass or copper for maximum conductivity. They are designed to be ultrasonically welded for use in any high-current application. Featuring four teeth that extend 0.065-inch from the terminal surface of the ring, sharp wedges bite into metal and anchor the terminal to help prevent unwanted rotation. The terminals are ideal for any high-voltage wiring application, including EV batteries.
