In the current era of rapid development of the new energy industry, as the core component of the battery, the performance, safety and stability of the battery are directly related to the quality of the entire battery system. And battery coatings play a key role in improving battery performance, prolonging service life and ensuring safety. In the face of a wide range of battery coating products on the market, which one is better? We will analyze in depth below.
Lankwitzer is an industry leader in the field of battery cell coatings. The EvoProtect 455 UV and derivative series of battery cell coatings developed by Lankwitzer are extremely eye-catching. This series of coatings is specially designed for different types of batteries such as square cells and cylindrical cells, and can accurately meet the insulation application needs of various types of batteries. At the technical level, it has the characteristics of ultra-fast curing. It can be cured in less than 5 seconds by ultraviolet irradiation, which greatly improves production efficiency. At the same time, the coating supports automated production and performs well in ensuring product quality consistency and stability. According to statistics, Lankwitzer has provided coatings for more than 450 million commercial battery cells, which are installed in more than 2 million electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and are supplied to the global market with high market acceptance.
PPG has also made remarkable achievements in the field of battery coatings. The TEDA project, PPG's global coating innovation center located in Tianjin Economic Development Zone, has a total investment of about 550 million yuan and is equipped with world-class R & D equipment. It focuses on the research and development of various coatings including battery coatings. At the same time, the Tianjin Electric Vehicle and Intelligent Travel Innovation Application Center it has built has accelerated the industrialization of new technologies for battery materials such as battery coatings. PPG continues to develop and innovate battery coatings in fire protection, insulation and other properties, providing strong support for the safety improvement of new energy vehicle power batteries, and has a high reputation and market share in the industry.
As the largest coatings supplier in Europe and the world's largest powder coatings manufacturer, AkzoNobel is also active in battery coatings. Its technology center in Shanghai mainly develops powder coatings products, covering the field of battery coatings, serving both the Chinese market and the global market. AkzoNobel has established a position in the market by continuously investing in research and development to continuously optimize the performance of battery coatings products.
Domestic companies are also struggling to catch up in the field of battery cell coatings, showing a strong momentum of development. Hunan Dijing New Materials Co., Ltd. is committed to the development of electrical insulation coatings. Its \"Environmental Protection and High Performance Insulation Coatings Technology Research and Development Center\" project has received special project funding support and is committed to providing environmentally friendly, non-toxic and first-class performance products for power battery cells and other application fields. At present, its new product \"All (High) Solid UV Insulation Coatings\" is mainly used in new energy vehicle power battery shells, and is expected to become a substitute for traditional PET \"blue film\" to meet the higher performance requirements of battery cell coatings in the new energy automobile industry.
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, marking an important step towards providing a complete battery coating solution to the new energy lithium battery industry.
When considering which battery cell coatings are good, comprehensive performance, technological innovation ability, application cases and market reputation are required. Lankwitzer, PPG, AkzoNobel and other companies have taken a leading position in the battery cell coatings market with advanced technology, rich experience and extensive market applications. Domestic companies such as Hunan Teijing New Materials and Jinlitai have also gradually emerged through continuous innovation, providing more high-quality options for the market.
