In the booming trend of the new energy industry, battery coating manufacturers play a crucial role. With the increasing requirements for battery performance, safety and lifespan in the fields of new energy vehicles and energy storage systems, high-quality battery coatings have become a key factor to ensure the stable operation of batteries. This has also prompted many manufacturers to actively participate in competition and emerge in the industry with technological innovation and market development.
Worldwide, many well-known battery coating manufacturers occupy an important position in the market. PPG, as an industry leader, is actively deploying in the field of battery coatings. Its global coating innovation center - TEDA project, located in Tianjin Economic Development Zone, has a construction area of about 30,000 square meters and a total investment of about 550 million yuan. The center is equipped with world-class R & D equipment, covering R & D experiments of battery coatings and other coatings, providing strong support for PPG in battery coating technology innovation. At the same time, PPG has also established the Tianjin Electric Vehicle and Intelligent Travel Innovation Application Center, which is used to accelerate the industrial application of new technologies in battery materials, comprehensively enhance the R & D and application capabilities in the field of electric vehicle battery materials, and demonstrate its forward-looking layout and strong strength in the battery coatings market.
AkzoNobel is also making efforts in the battery coatings market, continuously optimizing the product system, and its products have won a certain share in the market with good performance. Nippon relies on a rich and diverse product line, covering body pretreatment, electrophoresis, medium coating, paint, varnish, sealants, structural adhesives, insulating coatings, flame retardant coatings and other categories. The customer base is wide, covering many automobile brands such as Chinese, European, American, and Japanese and Korean. It performs well in the \"Top 5 Power Battery Coatings Brands in China 2023\" list, demonstrating its strong market competitiveness and brand influence.
Lankwitzer has achieved remarkable results in the field of battery coating production and can be regarded as a model in the industry. Its development of the world's first commercial battery cell coating product line has made it the \"preferred\" supplier of battery cell insulation coatings for many automotive brands. Its EvoProtect 455 UV and derivative series can meet the insulation application of different parts such as square cells, cylindrical cells, water-cooled plates, water-cooled pipes, etc. The coating can achieve ultra-fast curing in less than 5 seconds through ultraviolet irradiation, which greatly improves production efficiency. At the same time, it supports automated production, effectively ensuring the consistency and stability of product quality. Lankwitzer continues to invest in technological innovation, and the paint collection rate is close to 100%, which is at the top level in the industry. Today, it has provided coatings for more than 450 million commercial battery cells installed in over 2 million electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, which are supplied to the global market, fully demonstrating the reliability and market acceptance of its products.
Domestic battery coating manufacturers are also making progress and showing a strong momentum of development. Jinlitai received an order from a leading new energy battery company in August 2023 to provide insulating coating materials for its battery products and cooperate with the coating construction process verification, taking an important step to provide a complete solution to the new energy lithium battery industry. Hunan Dijing New Materials Co., Ltd. focuses on the research and development, production, sales and service of environmental protection coating products and industrial new materials. It has 31 patents and has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise and a national-level specialized special new \"little giant\" enterprise. Its \"Environmental Protection and High Performance Insulating Coatings Technology R & D Center\" project is dedicated to the development of electrical insulating coatings. The new product \"All (High) Solid UV Insulating Coatings\" is mainly used in the power battery shell of new energy vehicles, and is expected to become a substitute for the traditional PET \"blue film\" to meet the higher performance requirements of battery coatings in the new energy automotive industry.
