AkzoNobel’s Resicoat brand has developed a new powder coatings technology for improved electrical protection for battery systems.
The new spray has been developed for use on a battery’s cooling plates to help increase the safety of battery systems.
It has been developed due to growing demand for coatings with a high dielectric strength and to allow customers to reach the required film thickness with a single spray.
Available in China, the new technology is suitable for battery system parts such as cooling plates, side plates and battery covers (enclosures).
“We’ve developed innovative technology which addresses a clear need within the industry and helps to improve safety,” explains Jeff Jirak, director of AkzoNobel’s Powder Coatings business.
“It’s an important breakthrough which means customers no longer have to spray twice or more to achieve the right thickness for providing high dielectric strength.”
The technology also provides resistance against thermal shock, water immersion and chemicals.
