PITTSBURGH — PPG CORACHAR™ battery fire protection coatings for electric vehicles (EV) cover a wide range of applications, including battery pack assemblies and energy storage devices. The coatings, which leverage PPG’s experience with both industrial and commercial fire protection, improve light-weighting, increase battery performance, and support passenger and first-responder safety in case of a fire.
PPG CoraChar coatings are intumescent – they expand in the presence of high heat or fire to provide an insulating layer to protect from thermal damage.
