Adhesive Tapes for EV battery applications
For the EV market, ATP offers customers the opportunity for off-the-shelf solutions or bespoke developments.
Electrical Insulation Films
For Cell wrapping, ATP has developed single-sided self-adhesive PET films with thin adhesive coating weights <20gsm if necessary. These films offer breakdown voltage insulation values >8kV and a CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) of > 600V Moreover, these self-adhesive PET films could be used to electrically insulate other metal parts within the battery module as well. Different product thicknesses and tape colors are available and customer- specific die-cuts can be realized. Double coated films can be combined with other materials, to achieve electrical insulation.

Thermal Insulation / Barrier material mounting
For Thermal runaway insulation, lightweight double-sided PET- or tissue tapes are offered, these tapes can be coated on both sides with permanent adhesive or one side permanent one side semi-permanent to aid recycling at end of life. Suppliers of thermal runaway systems rely on mica, glass-fib- res, ceramic fibers and other materials protecting and bonding to cells, modules, and battery packs. ATP’s tapes for this application are suitable for rough, uneven surfaces.

Compression pad bonding
Tapes for installation of intercellular compression pads can be thin adhesive coatings <50gsm to suit individual customer requirements. The benefits of using tapes in such applications are guaranteed coating weight, instantaneous bonding, high suitability for automatic assembly and finally – in contrast to liquid adhesives – they require no curing time.
