At a time when the energy storage industry is booming, the energy storage insulation coatings market is undergoing profound changes, and technological innovation has become the core driving force for market growth. With the growing global demand for clean energy, energy storage systems, as a key link in balancing energy supply and demand and improving energy efficiency, have attracted much attention to their safety and stability, which also puts forward higher requirements for energy storage insulation coatings.
Lanwei Coatings (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Lankwitzer, has made remarkable achievements in the technological innovation of energy storage insulating coatings. The UV insulating battery coating (EvoProtect 455 UV) and its derivative series can meet the insulation application of different energy storage components such as square cells, cylindrical cells, water-cooled plates, and water-cooled pipes. The coating can achieve ultra-fast curing in less than 5 seconds through ultraviolet irradiation, which greatly improves production efficiency. In the large-scale production of energy storage batteries, the fast curing characteristic allows more cells to be coated per unit time, meeting the urgent market demand for energy storage battery capacity. At the same time, the coating supports automated production, enabling a continuous production line without human intervention, reducing the impact of human factors on product quality, and ensuring the consistency and stability of each battery cell coating.
From the perspective of performance improvement, energy storage insulating coatings are developing towards higher insulation performance and better stability. To cope with the high voltage, high current and complex temperature environment generated by energy storage systems during charging and discharging. Lankwitzer's EvoProtect 455 UV coating can effectively isolate current and prevent safety accidents such as short circuits. Its insulation resistance is > 10g ω, dielectric strength is greater than 150kv/mm, and it can still meet customer customization needs after 1000 hours of 85/85 aging, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of energy storage systems.
The application of new materials is also an important direction for the technological innovation of energy storage insulating coatings. Some companies have begun to use new materials such as nanomaterials and high-performance polymers to improve the comprehensive performance of coatings. These new materials can make coatings have better flexibility, wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and extend the service life of energy storage equipment. In the development of paint formulations, Lankwitzer continuously explores the application of new materials, and by optimizing the formulation system, its products continue to lead in performance.
With the continuous innovation of technology, the market scale of energy storage insulation coatings continues to expand. According to the data of the High-tech Lithium Battery Research Institute (GGII), the global new energy battery coatings market has reached 32 billion yuan in 2023, and it is expected to exceed 50 billion yuan by 2025, with a compound growth rate of 28.6%. Energy storage is an important application field for new energy batteries, and its insulation coatings market will also benefit. Energy storage insulation coatings with advanced technology and excellent performance will have an advantage in the market competition and promote the entire market to develop in a technology-driven direction.
