Power Meets Protection with Evonik’s Advanced Froth Foam Additives for Battery Pads
Froth foam padding is essential for extending battery life and enhancing safety across all battery systems, managing two critical functions: mechanical protection and thermal regulation, especially in demanding applications like electric vehicles (EV).
Foam ensures mechanical protection by providing essential shock absorption, vibration damping, and sealing to prevent physical damage to battery cells and internal components— critical for structural integrity and extended lifespan. Foam delivers thermal regulation by acting as an insulator, slowing heat propagation to mitigate thermal runaway, while providing enhanced flame resistance for added safety.
Compression pads also ensure safety, performance, and longevity by managing cell expansion and contraction during charge/discharge cycles, maintaining consistent electrical contact and isolating sensitive components for reliable operation.
Evonik is your trusted partner for advanced polyurethane additives. Our portfolio includes innovative silicone surfactants, delayed-action catalysts, and dispersants that enable stable, easy to control systems, optimized curing profiles, and help prevent thermal runaway through higher loading of fillers.
