Innovations In EV Battery Materials, Component Manufacturing & Cell Manufacturing
With automakers embracing electrification in a rapidly evolving industry, advanced battery materials remain at the forefront of driving EV adoption rates. The global adhesives industry is purported to grow at a substantial compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the next decade. The use in EVs is vast, adhesives and sealants have become an indispensable part of battery manufacturing innovation, as they continue to enable stronger and more durable bonds and heat dissipation properties.
With increasing vehicle electrification and autonomy, silicone adhesives are increasingly required to deliver durability across more mechanical designs and functional requirements, all while helping control total cost, and providing solutions to meet OEM expectations.
Adhesives, sealants and thermal materials play a decisive role in the advancement of EV technology and will certainly pivot the further growth of battery-powered vehicles across the automotive industry globally. Specifically designed for EVs, adhesives and sealants find applications in battery packs, drivetrains and motors.
Battery makers are bound to follow stringent regulations from the automotive industry which oblige them to construct a battery with 12-15 years of EV life, whilst working at elevated temperature conditions and absorbing the shocks and vibrations faced whilst driving.
All of the above-stated factors have given the adhesives and sealant industry the definite momentum to thrive.
The uses of adhesives, sealants and thermal materials in battery assembly operations present numerous opportunities in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Coupled with the significant OEM investment in EVs, the need for light weighting, crash resistance, and the protection of battery packs are some of the key factors that have propelled the demand for battery adhesives, sealants, and thermal materials to meet these objectives.
This webinar series covers an in-depth analysis of adhesive, sealant, and thermal material innovations for the EV batteries market, including a thorough analysis of various adhesives and sealants such as epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and polyacrylates, and thermal materials, such as gap pads and liquid gap fillers.
Sessions will explore next-generation initiatives that are driving future mobility and specifically which are the key application areas, and best dispensing techniques for different adhesives, sealant and thermal material types.
