Die cutting is a manufacturing process that utilizes a machine and a metal component called a die to cut specific shapes from a sheet of material. It is a quick and easy way to create customized materials for specific applications. Working with a manufacturer who provides die-cut solutions for electrical insulation and cell wrapping allows...Read More
Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, is a clear, strong, lightweight plastic that is 100% recyclable. This versatile plastic has various applications in many industries, however, many of PET’s inherent properties make it a great choice for electrical insulation. Its high structural stability, electrical insulation, resistance to cracking, and low water absorption make PET insulation a popular...Read More
Batteries are used everywhere from our phones to our cars, and with such widespread use, these batteries need to be as safe as possible. Unfortunately, some batteries — particularly those used within the EV or hybrid vehicle markets — can be susceptible to thermal runaway. Thermal runaway refers to a chain reaction from individual batteries...Read More
Tailoring Your Material to Your Application is Critical The world today runs on batteries, of many types and styles. Larger battery packs power electric vehicles (EVs), smaller lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries fuel our cellphones and tablets and even ‘traditional’ batteries empower a plethora of hand-held devices. However, each of these use cases needs battery...Read More
Traditional Material Developing into Key Component for EV Protection As the electrical vehicle (EV) market continues to expand and grow, there is more focus on developing new options for insulating and dissipating the heat from the battery packs used to power them. Mica plate battery insulation is becoming increasingly popular as an option for EV...Read More
It’s no secret that heat shrink tubing is a critical element in production for many industries, from component manufacturing for automotive and aerospace to sporting goods. But PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate, or Polyester) layflat tubing, while also being heat shrinkable, maximizes the impact of this versatile element for battery production. Heat shrink tubing is often used...Read More
