E-Mobility

With the accelerated growth of new electric vehicles, not only quality, safety and security aspects but also the environmental performance of the automobile is important for the consumers and for the manufacturers. This new market trend leads to new demands in terms of innovative solutions. New vehicles are revolutionizing automotive design, therefore creating a need for new materials to meet new requirements. Heat transfer solution is the new technical challenge for electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturers.


Because our customers are constantly looking for innovative solutions to provide more efficient, reliable and safer electric vehicles, we have recently developed a 2-component epoxy resin for the e-motor stator encapsulation. This product not only enhances motor performance while facilitation design options, it also allows weight reduction and improvements in manufacturing by cutting cycle times. Our solutions also include multiple dielectric potting chemistries for controllers and on board chargers, as well as harnesses and connectors.
