Customer ServiceFoam materials are reliable even under the stresses of the harsh automotive environment. They have excellent high and low temperature resistance. They are also thermally insulative, encouraging heat to be exhausted to the heat sink and not transferred to neighboring battery cells. This insulative property isn’t reduced as the foam compresses.
Polyurethane foam, silicone foam, and Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) foam are commonly used foams in EV battery manufacturing. Each type serves specific purposes, such as thermal, electrical, and shock absorption. What are some advancements in foam technology for EV batteries?
The performance of specially engineered polyurethane- and silicone-based foams will outlast the lifespan of the battery, which isn’t true for other potential materials solutions such as other elastomers. Another advantage is foam’s remarkable operational temperature range, much larger than most other rubbers.
Regarding EV battery production, foam ensures optimal performance and longevity. Foam is widely used as an insulation material within battery packs, protecting the cells from extreme temperatures and vibrations. This insulation not only enhances safety but also helps maximise energy efficiency.
The foams provide a consistent compression force deflection – that is, the return pressure of the foam under compression remains consistent, no matter the degree of deflection. This provides consistent, engineered return pressure, evenly across the battery.
The dielectric nature of the foam averts arcing between cells as well. Protecting the battery components is a supreme concern and foam materials offer important provisions. Foam compression pads reduce the severity of vibration and shock on the battery components, which is important for any sensitive system in automotive applications.
