Electric Vehicle (EV) battery powder coating is specially processed for electrical insulation applications and exhibits dielectric insulator properties. This provides superior protection to electrical components with excellent adhesion, corrosion, and chemical resistance with a good combination of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. These coatings are used primarily as insulation of aluminum bus bars, copper bus bars, and other steel barrier materials. We work with Automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies such as Tesla and Chrysler. Click here to explore more automotive applications.
Battery Pack Applications
EV battery boxes are designed for electrical transportation to ensure there is a proper ventilation structure to address the heat dissipation issue of the electric vehicle power batteries. The box uses a forced air-cooling strategy: the higher the airspeed, the greater the cooling effect. It is important for a battery box to have a proper flame-resistant coating to improve its performance and avoid heat-related failure.
Battery Pack Coating Solution
The bare metal parts that house electric vehicle batteries are typically not bare metal. A coating is required that can handle specific physical properties and have a certain electrical ability. Wright Coating proudly offers electric vehicle battery coatings using an electric resin with a higher thermal conductivity than typical meta-aramid materials used to insulate and dissipate heat. This product is recommended for either hot-spray or hot-dip coating processes.
Electric Resin Technical Information
Known as a general-purpose epoxy powder resin, it is a one-part, green-pigmented, rapid heat-curing product, designed to provide a continuous, tough, moisture & chemical-resistant dielectric coating to a variety of substrates. This resin is fast-curing, has excellent electrical properties, thermal shock, and impact resistance. This resin is heat, chemical, & moisture resistant, as well as cut-through resistant. The powder can be readily applied by spraying techniques as well as through the use of fluid bed dipping of preheated parts. For more technical information on our electric vehicle (EV) battery coatings, such as properties, curing, and storage, please contact us. Wright Coating can also provide other battery coating solutions to fit your needs.
We are an ISO 9001-certified powder coating applicator and are always happy to talk to you about coatings for EV vehicles. If you believe you have a coating job that required high scientific and technical expertise in coating applications, give us a call and we’ll talk.
