Electric Vehicle (EV) battery coatings are 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 electric vehicle battery 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.
EV Battery Pack Applications
EV battery coating 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.
EV Battery 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, impact resistance, chemical resistance, and is highly adhesive. The powder can be readily applied by spraying techniques and through the use of fluid bed dipping of preheated parts or an electrostatic process. Please contact us for more technical information on our electric vehicle (EV) battery coatings, such as properties, curing, and storage. Wright Coating can also provide other battery coating solutions to fit your needs.
Once the process is complete, electric vehicle battery coatings offer protection from the following hazards:
- Moisture
- Chemicals
- Corrosion
- Salt spray
- Dust
- Heat
- Contaminants
These are common issues that can damage EV batteries and compromise their lifespan. An EV, whether driving or parked, is routinely exposed to dust, heat, salt spray, and moisture. Without the proper protection, these contaminants can compromise the integrity of the EV battery. A coating acts as a protective barrier to seal the surface and protect against these and other contaminants.
In addition to batteries, electric vehicle coatings can protect cooling systems, charging systems, and other components in the EV system. Work with a quality commercial coating professional to see the specific applications of EV powder coating and how it compares with other EV coating options.
