Energy storage battery pp cover

Does Honda use a PP battery pack cover?

SABIC currently produces a flame-resistant PP battery pack cover used by Honda in the China market. The cover eliminates thermal blankets, reducing weight by 40% vs. a similar metal cover. Next-generation thermoplastic battery pack and module prototypes are in development.

What is a stamax Fr battery pack enclosure?

A battery pack enclosure or cover molded with STAMAX FR resin. Use of this material meets the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and allows the cover to be metallized for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding.

What is a plastic-intensive EV battery pack?

Most notably, the company’s automotive business has developed a plastic-intensive EV battery pack concept using a systems-engineering approach, which underscores the value of lightweight plastics to address critical industry needs for flexible design, enhanced performance, greater safety and improved economics.

What are thermoplastic EV battery trays?

Engineers’ interest in thermoplastic EV battery trays began with GM’s 1990 Impact concept car. The EV-1 production car that followed used a tray made of glass-filled polypropylene (PP). SABIC’s latest innovation aims directly at one of aluminum’s weaknesses — its very high thermal conductivity.

What is an EV battery enclosure?

(Novelis) EV battery enclosures are a hotbed of subsystem design, materials innovation, and vehicle integration. Whether you call them packs, boxes, or trays, the structures that envelop and protect EV battery cells and their supporting electrical and thermal-management hardware are among the industry’s top subsystem priorities.

Which PP compound is used in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)?

One plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) model in China is already using SABIC PP compound instead of aluminum for its battery pack cover, providing weight savings, expanded design freedom, warpage control and other benefits.
