The EV battery trade is evolving quickly, pushing the necessity for superior supplies which might be thinner, lighter and safer. Engineers are more and more turning to mica as a fabric resolution that helps enhance automobile reliability and security by containing thermal runaway. Strain-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, in the meantime, have emerged as a most well-liked resolution for bonding mica supplies in a battery pack.
Our new white paper explores frequent challenges related to utilizing mica. Referencing laboratory information, this report gives steering to engineers and others concerned within the design and meeting of those supplies. It affords perception into how PSA tapes supply many benefits when mixed with mica for EV battery packs together with, however not restricted to:
- Security: PSA tapes require no particular hazardous materials dealing with protocols.
- Meeting optimization: PSAs present just about quick inexperienced energy with remedy time measured in microseconds quite than hours or days. Tapes also can maintain elements in place whereas a pack is assembled.
- Consistency: PSAs supply constant thickness upon utility. Every battery pack popping out of meeting may have the identical quantity of adhesive as each different pack.
- Versatility: PSA tapes could be laminated to foams, fibers and movies, and die-cut to specification. Adhesives could be engineered with properties that improve their ease of use (akin to straightforward removability/repositionability), long-term sturdiness and flame resistance
The white paper outlines the properties to think about for Muscovite and Phlogopite mica in addition to the impact of adhesive sample coating, tape constructions, and the peel angle on the supplies. This research was developed along with the Asheville Mica Vitality Options.
