Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more popular in the automotive industry. Just last year, EVs accounted for 18% of all cars sold in 2023, a 35% increase from 2022. As these vehicles become more common on the roadways and more popular with consumers, it is important to focus on the safety and functionality...Read More
Commonly used in wires, cables, and batteries, a dielectric barrier prevent electrical discharge between two electrodes. They are primarily used to discourage thermal runaway and overheating in their applications and are crucial to maintaining the safety and functionality of the product. Materials Used as Dielectric Barriers Mica Mica is a very poor conductor of electricity,...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
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
