PANACOL: UV Adhesives for Electric Vehicle Applications
Panacol’s new flexible adhesives reportedly enable vibration-resistant connections and have a low ion content.
Panacol recently announced that it has developed specially formulated UV adhesives that protect welded joints on cell contacting systems and battery packs of electric cars from corrosion. The flexible adhesives reportedly enable vibration-resistant connections and have a low ion content.
High-performance cell contacting systems (CCS), which combine individual lithium-ion battery cells for hybrid and electric vehicles to form battery packs, are often connected by welded strands or wires. To protect these welded joints from corrosion, Panacol reports that it has developed low-ion UV adhesives that are applied as protective coatings. These adhesives provide additional mechanical support when subjected to vibrations and can compensate for thermal expansion of the different materials.
