Enhancing Battery Performance with Advanced Bonding Technology

Lohmann provides innovative bonding solutions tailored to the unique challenges of EV battery applications. Designed for seamless integration into modern manufacturing processes, our solutions enhance safety, efficiency, and durability. From prototyping to series production, our global expert teams assist with precision die-cutting, process optimization, and tailored adhesive solutions to meet the highest industry standards.

Extensive High-Tech Portfolio
for EV Battery Manufacturing

Lohmann’s product portfolio of single- and double-sided adhesive tape solutions is available on rolls, spools, as die-cuts or sheets. Lohmann provides customized laminates in a wide variety of materials that combine the individually required properties. In our extensive high-tech portfolio we offer, for example:

  • Insulating PET films in various colours and thicknesses, combined with adhesive on one or both sides of the tape.
  • PE, PU, EPDM foams or Acrylic Foam in various thicknesses can be combined with adhesive tapes 
  • Intumescent and thermally conductive materials with self-adhesive finishes
  • Electrically conductive fabrics or foams in combination with electrically conductive adhesives 

Our products offer smooth thermal or electrical management or serve other functions, such as sealing, damping, virbation and shock absorption, protection or cushioning. The multifunctional tape portfolio offers solutions for numerous applications in Li-Ion battery assembly, for example:

  • Busbar protection: single-sided adhesive PET or PI films for the electrical insulation of the busbar
  • EMI shielding and grounding: electrically conductive foam tapes as a smart solution for grounding and shielding
  • Gasket: Closed-cell PE, PU and EPDM foam tapes for optimal sealing against dust and humidity
  • Flame-retardant insulation: Pressure-sensitive tapes can be laminated to various materials to realize self-adhesive flame-retardant insulation

Thermal Management:
Flame Barrier Material

If a cell is overheating the flame barrier material prevents thermal propagation to neighboring cells and therefore helps to keep vehicle passengers safe. Lohmann offers various flame-retardant tape laminations with low thermal conductivity to be used as a flame barrier between cells. At the same time the laminated materials are compressible to compensate the breathing behavior of the cell during charging and discharging and the swelling over the cell lifetime. Lohmann offers customized solutions by combining various materials to match the requirements of different cell chemistries and battery designs.

Thermal Management:
Cooling / Heating

Lohmann’s pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes allow an efficient and reliable connection to the cooling or heating element and provide a thermal conductivity of up to 2 W/mK. Tapes from our TC-portfolio support the heat management inside the EV battery and help keeping the lithium-ion cells in their comfort zone between 20 and 35 °C in order to enable the longest possible lifetime of the cells. The double-sided tapes are free of solvents, halogens and silicones and provide effective protection of electrical components as no silicone oil can migrate. All tapes in the portfolio are available on rolls or as customized high-precision die-cuts.

Products

  • DuploCOLL TC range (Thickness range: 140 µm - 2 mm)

Electrical Management:
Electrical Insulation

For the electrical insulation of sensitive battery components and effective protection against dielectric breakdown, Lohmann offers various single- or double-sided PET films. They can be applied to metal parts of the battery, e.g., on side panels, cell housing or battery case components. Due to their flexible adaptation to various shapes, they can optimally be used for cell wrapping. For better camera recognition in fully automated production processes, different colors of PET are available to support safe and reliable mounting.

Damp & Seal:
Cell Spacer

The use of foams between individual pouch or prismatic cells as spacer and electrical insulation support the performance of the EV battery. The “breathing” movement of the cell during charging and discharging will be compensated by the foam and generates the ideal backpressure. Foams are also used as spacers between battery packs and support noise reduction management.
