With the rapid advancement of electric and hybrid vehicle technologies, battery systems, power electronics, and high-voltage components have become fundamental elements of modern vehicle design. The reliable installation of these systems is essential not only for mechanical performance but also for electrical safety, thermal management, environmental protection, and ease of service throughout the vehicle's lifetime.
Battery systems consist of battery enclosures, module carriers, cell assemblies, cooling plates, aluminum profiles, composite covers, electronic control units, cable management systems, and sealing components. These assemblies incorporate a wide range of materials, including aluminum, galvanized steel, stainless steel, composite materials, engineering plastics, and elastomers.
Adhesive technologies enable the reliable bonding of these dissimilar materials while helping to damp vibration loads, reduce stress concentrations within bonded joints, and protect battery systems against environmental influences. They also support the development of lighter and more compact battery designs by reducing the reliance on mechanical fasteners.
Within battery systems, adhesives are widely used for the assembly of battery enclosures, cover systems, cooling plate installation, electronic component mounting, cable management channels, sensor carriers, insulation components, and numerous sealing applications designed to prevent the ingress of water and dust.
Technologies Used
Polyurethane Technology
Polyurethane-based adhesives are preferred for battery enclosures, structural carrier profiles, and semi-structural joints requiring high mechanical strength and impact resistance. Their permanently elastic properties allow them to accommodate differential thermal expansion between dissimilar materials.
Hybrid Polymer Technology
Hybrid polymer-based adhesives are widely used for battery enclosure assembly and sealing applications because they combine permanent elasticity, excellent adhesion, and outstanding environmental resistance. By creating flexible bonds between dissimilar materials, they help reduce vibration loads and enhance long-term assembly durability.
Elastic Sealing Systems
Elastic sealing products used in battery enclosures protect the system against water, moisture, dust, and other environmental contaminants, contributing to the safe and reliable operation of the battery throughout its service life. They also provide effective sealing solutions for serviceable battery designs that require future disassembly and maintenance.
