Advanced sticky tapes designed for automotive applications
In a significant development for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, Henkel, a leading manufacturer, has released a whitepaper discussing the technical advantages of functional adhesive technology applications in EV batteries. The whitepaper serves as a valuable resource for gaining insights into the application of adhesive tapes in the EV battery industry.
The whitepaper emphasises the role of adhesive tapes in the overall performance and lifespan of EV batteries. These solutions improve battery performance, extend lifespan, and ensure process reliability during manufacturing. The battery sector is evolving to enhance battery performance, range, and fast-charging capabilities, and these adhesive solutions are a crucial part of this evolution.
Lohmann, another key player in the field, develops multifunctional materials for electric vehicle batteries. These materials offer damping, sealing, electrical insulation, conductivity, and thermal management. Lohmann prioritises sustainability throughout its entire value chain, including developing solvent-free adhesive systems, using 100% green energy, and integrating into fully automated production processes. However, these aspects are not directly addressed in Henkel's whitepaper.
The whitepaper covers additional functions of high-tech adhesive tapes in EV batteries. These include their role in the development, manufacturing, and operation of Li-ion batteries and energy storage. The battery industry significantly impacts sustainability in the automotive sector, and the use of eco-friendly materials and efficient processes in EV battery production aims to reduce emissions.
While the whitepaper does not provide information about Lohmann's prioritisation of sustainability or its solvent-free adhesive systems, it does calculate the full Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for its products and supports partners in calculating and optimising their individual CO2 balance. Lohmann is a leading manufacturer of adhesive tapes for electric vehicle batteries, and its role in this field is not new, although it is not explicitly discussed in the whitepaper.
In conclusion, Henkel's whitepaper offers valuable insights into the application of adhesive tapes in the EV battery industry. These tapes play a crucial role in improving battery performance, extending lifespan, and ensuring process reliability during manufacturing. As the EV industry continues to evolve, the use of such innovative solutions will undoubtedly contribute to achieving significant CO2 savings and supporting global sustainability goals.
