Keschuang and Henkel to promote the development of electric transportation to provide adhesive solutions for efficient lithium-ion battery packaging

With the continuous development of automobile electrification, the powerful lithium-ion battery has become the central topic in the field of electric vehicles Although the design of the battery system varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, all automotive battery technologies share a common performance goal, which is longer life, safer operation, lower total cost and stronger reliability For this reason, covestro and Henkel have jointly developed a solution By combining Henkel's UV curing adhesive with covestro's UV penetrating polycarbonate alloy, the cylindrical lithium-ion battery can be efficiently fixed in the plastic battery base Vehicle manufacturers are considering large-scale, high-efficiency and low-cost lithium-ion battery components as a prerequisite for competition to cope with the severe pressure of electric vehicle price reduction Henkel's loctite AA 3963 battery module adhesive and kostron's high UV penetrating polycarbonate alloy baybrand ® meet the requirements of large-scale automatic glue injection technology, and the adhesive can be flexible and fast curing In addition, the specially developed acrylic adhesive is suitable for battery bases made of special flame-retardant plastics This adhesive has a strong adhesion to the substrate, and has a good production adaptability for a long opening time and a short curing cycle Frank kerstan, head of European electric vehicle business of Henkel, explained: "it's very important to be able to complete mass production in a short period of time with flexible technology Loctite is an on-demand curing single component adhesive, which is approved by the vehicle manufacturer to fix the cylindrical lithium-ion battery into the carrier After high-speed injection, the material can endure a long opening time, improve the adaptability of the whole process, in order to cope with unexpected production interruption After all the batteries have been placed in the battery holder and the adhesive has been injected, the curing step will be activated by UV light and take less than 5 seconds " This is the main advantage different from traditional manufacturing In traditional manufacturing process, curing may take several minutes to several hours, so additional parts storage space is required The battery holder is made of Coriolis benlan ® fr3040 EV polycarbonate + ABS alloy When the thickness of this plastic is only 1 mm, it can reach UL UL UL's UL94 flame retardant V-0 grade, and has good transmittance to ultraviolet light with wavelength of more than 380nm "This material enables us to make parts with stable size, which is necessary for automated mass packaging," said Steven daelemans, electric transportation market development manager, polycarbonate Business Department of Cisco, which is a joint venture of the bicarbonate benlan ® material and the Henkel loctite adhesive to build cylindrical lithium-ion battery modules (photo source: Henkel) Combined with the rapid curing ability of Loctite adhesive, this material combination provides an innovative method for the production of large-scale cylindrical lithium-ion battery modules " Loctite is a registered trademark of Henkel and / or its subsidiaries in Germany and elsewhere About Henkel: Henkel operates a balanced and diversified business portfolio around the world Through strong brand, excellent innovation and advanced
