Electric vehicles are transforming transportation, creating new demands for coatings that enhance durability, safety, energy efficiency and sustainability in an evolving regulatory landscape.
The new product toolbox includes a variety of components, each engineered to enhance the performance of thermal insulation and fire-resistant coatings.
Automotive fasteners are tasked with preventing the connected components from becoming dislodged, while also facilitating easy disassembly for servicing or repairs. Nothing poses a greater threat to their efficacy than the accumulation of rust on their surface. Zinc-nickel surface finishing offers a solution that makes minimal contributions to the carbon footprint, thus firmly advancing us along the road to a carbon-emission-free future.
Tech Etch has designed and developed a robotic spray-coating process used to apply conductive carbon and graphite coatings to battery current collectors, fuel cells, thin-metal cathode grids used in implantable pacemaker batteries, and other energy storage devices that require low-resistance coatings.
The focus of the co-operation will be on developing improved black mass production processes to achieve high recovery rates for metals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt to support closed loop solutions for the European electric vehicle battery market.
