In recent years, safety has become crucial for the booming new energy vehicle industry. It's not just a driving requirement but also vital for sustainable growth. Futureway, leveraging high-performance silicone and fluoroplastics, is dedicated to offering reliable material solutions. As a key player, it drives continuous progress in enhancing safety standards and contributes significantly to the industry's development.
In the power battery systems of new energy vehicles, the role of intercell thermal insulation is paramount, directly impacting vehicle safety and, consequently, consumer safety. With the increasing prevalence of new energy vehicles, attention to battery technology and its safety concerns is burgeoning. The utilization of thermal insulation materials between battery cells establishes a critical thermal barrier, effectively preventing heat transfer between cores, retarding heat diffusion, and forestalling the propagation of thermal runaway from a single cell to adjacent ones. This approach effectively mitigates the thermal runaway of battery cores or modules, thereby significantly enhancing the safety of the battery system, even in the event of a cell malfunction, minimizing the likelihood of a chain reaction.
To effectively mitigate the potential risks of thermal runaway and thermal propagation within battery cells, Futureway has engineered the TIF series of ceramic silicone rubber materials. This pioneering solution impeccably aligns with customer requirements for safety and performance. Operating in high-temperature environments (>600℃), TIF series materials exhibit distinctive ceramic phase change characteristics, forming a robust microcrystalline ceramic layer. This feature not only endows the product with exceptional thermal insulation performance but also proficiently impedes or delays heat propagation, augmenting the safety of new energy vehicle battery systems.
TIF series products find extensive application in heat pads for prismatic and pouch battery cells, module heat pads, and PACK and body heat pads for new energy vehicles. Notably, these products boast outstanding thermal insulation performance while also achieving industry-leading mechanical properties. Throughout the design and development phases, Futureway meticulously considered customer practical application needs, ensuring products exhibit a broad compression stress range and minimal compression permanent deformation. Such attributes not only furnish essential cell cushioning but also guarantee the long-term stability and reliability of the battery system.
In the power battery system of new energy vehicles, cushioning materials play a crucial role, significantly impacting the overall performance and safety. The application of cushioning material between the battery cells effectively absorbs structural tolerances, providing ample space for cell expansion, and mitigating impact energy during vehicle operation. Particularly in complex road conditions where bumps and vibrations prevail, cushioning materials become instrumental in reducing external impacts on the battery system, thus enhancing its longevity.
Futureway CM and FL Solid Silicone Rubber materials, crafted into prismatic cell buffer strips, excel in buffering between prismatic cells. These materials not only exhibit exceptional high shear performance, meeting stringent requirements for the automated transfer and assembly of battery cells, but also effectively cushion cells, ensuring sufficient expansion space during charging and discharging processes.
For cushioning pouch cells, Futureway has developed the CC-40 Foam for Pouch Cell. This material generates stable rebound force within a specified compression range, providing an optimal cushioning solution for pouch cells and ensuring effective protection across diverse working conditions.
As a core component of new energy vehicles, the safety of power battery is not only a guarantee for the overall safety of the vehicle, but also directly related to the service life and performance of the vehicle. Among them, one of the keys of the power battery is that it must meet the design requirements of at least IP67 protection level for the shell of electrical equipment, which is the basic guarantee to ensure the stable operation of the battery system in a variety of complex environments. In order to ensure the reliability and safety of the battery system, sealing protection has become a crucial link, effective sealing protection not only guarantees the reliability of the battery system in various extreme environments, but also provides a solid technical basis for the promotion and popularization of new energy vehicles.
Resistant to chemicals, extreme temperatures, UV rays, and ozone
For great sealing and long term reliability, the choice of material is critical. Futureway® die-cut Silicone Foam sealing solution not only offers excellent compressibility and good conformity but also possesses superior resistance to compression set and stress relaxation performance. While enhancing the reliability of sealing protection, it significantly reduces the cost of later replacements, making it highly suitable for sealing applications in battery packs.
When the battery pack gets out of thermal control and short-circuits occur, it may lead to fire, which seriously threatens the lives and properties of passengers. Therefore, the selection of fireproof insulation materials is of great significance to avoid the occurrence or spread of fire. In the selection of materials, the main consideration is fireproof and high temperature insulation performance, which can effectively isolate the fire source and inhibit the spread of fire. It is also necessary to reasonably arrange the fireproof material layer, not only to ensure a close fit to the electric core, but also not to affect the normal operation of the battery pack structure and other systems, such as refrigeration systems. Scientific fire insulation design plays an indispensable role in the safety system of new energy vehicles, providing effective protection for vehicle occupants and the surrounding environment in emergency situations.
Resistant to chemicals, extreme temperatures, UV rays, and ozone
Futureway® Fireproof Composite Silicone Rubbers feature excellent electrical insulation properties, preventing short circuits and arcing accidents. They protect fire-sensitive parts or structures, maintaining strong structural integrity in the event of a fire and resisting flames over 1000°C, preventing the spread of fire to other areas. Futureway offers Fireproof Composite Silicone Rubbers in various colors and thicknesses, available as continuous rolls and sheets, customizable in size, with options for adhesive-backed and non-adhesive forms.
