In today's booming new energy industry, batteries are a core component, and their performance, safety and stability are crucial. Customized battery coating solutions are becoming a key part of improving the comprehensive performance of batteries. With the increasing diversification of battery demand in new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, electronic devices and other fields, general-purpose battery coatings have been difficult to meet the stringent requirements of the market, and customized services have emerged.
For new energy vehicle power batteries, safety and durability are the top considerations. During the driving process of the car, the battery faces complex working conditions, such as vibration, high and low temperature, humid environment, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to customize the coating solution with excellent insulation performance, impact resistance, weather resistance and chemical resistance. Lankwitzer excels in this regard. Its custom battery coating solutions for many automotive brands, its EvoProtect 455 UV and derivative series, can accurately meet the insulation application requirements of different parts 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. At the same time, it supports automated production, effectively ensuring the consistency and stability of product quality, and providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of new energy vehicle power batteries.
Batteries in energy storage systems also have unique requirements for coatings due to different application scenarios. For example, batteries in outdoor energy storage power stations need coatings with excellent UV resistance to prevent coating aging and failure due to long-term light; while indoor energy storage systems may pay more attention to the environmental protection and fire resistance of coatings. Some companies have developed customized high weather resistance coatings and environmentally friendly fire retardant coatings in response to these needs. For example, a well-known coating company customized coatings for a large outdoor energy storage project, using special anti-ultraviolet additives, which can effectively resist UV corrosion and prolong battery life; at the same time, its environmentally friendly fire retardant coatings reduce the emission of harmful substances under the premise of meeting the fire rating requirements, and meet the indoor environmental use standards.
In the field of consumer electronics, such as the batteries of smart phones, laptops and other devices, there are high requirements for the thinness and heat dissipation performance of coatings. In order to meet these needs, companies have developed ultra-thin coatings with high thermal conductivity. This custom coating can quickly conduct the heat generated by the battery while ensuring battery insulation protection, and avoid overheating affecting the battery performance and equipment life. Moreover, the light and thin coating will not increase the extra weight and volume of the battery, in line with the design concept of consumer electronics products that pursue lightness and portability.
ROHM Chemical is working with companies including BYD and well-known paint companies to develop fire retardant coatings for new energy vehicle power batteries. Compared with traditional power battery fire retardant coatings using inorganic materials, the new solution reduces the use of ore resources, can isolate flames while also playing a role in heat insulation, and is lighter in weight for lightweight design of new energy vehicles. This customized fire retardant coating solution is developed for the special needs of fire protection, heat insulation and lightweight of new energy vehicle power batteries.
Customized battery coating solutions can accurately match the needs of different battery application scenarios, from performance improvement, safety assurance to environmental protection requirements, and inject strong impetus into the development of the battery industry. Through continuous technological innovation and in-depth market surveys, many companies like Lankwitzer continue to optimize customized solutions to help batteries perform best in different fields and promote the new energy industry to new heights.
