Testing of fire-resistant material for battery systems
Different testing methods of system-critical elastomer components with fire-resistant material to prevent thermal runaway in battery systems of electric vehicles.
As the electrification trend continues in the mobility area, the capacity of batteries with a high safety level for electric vehicles will increase. While this will bring vital benefits such as improved range and reliability, the large thermal load placed on the battery will intensify the requirement for safety.
Through effective protection and thermal management, our range of battery seals, foldable gaskets, and thermal conductive components guard against thermal runaway without compromising function or performance.
