Electric vehicles are transforming transportation, creating new demands for coatings that enhance durability, safety, energy efficiency and sustainability in an evolving regulatory landscape.
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.
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.
Commercialization of 3D printing, the increase in popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), and climate change-related challenges are highlighted as three major global trends affecting coatings industry growth and leading innovation efforts.
