Zotefoams ECOZOTE PP, ZOTEK T, and Plastazote LD FR provide a range of benefits for battery packs that include temperature regulation and impact and vibration protection, which contribute towards maximizing the lifecycle of the battery.
The Zotefoams ECOZOTE PP (polypropylene) range features sustainable recyclable foams that are lightweight and flame-retardant with low thermal conductivity. The materials also have high rigidity and strength, plus a desirable compression curve, making them well suited for use as cell dividers or general gap fillers for battery packs.
“Our PP foams are the latest addition to the Zotefoams extensive materials portfolio. They are low-thermal conductivity materials that are ideal for regulating the temperature of battery packs.”
– Sam Norman, Zotefoams Head of Business Development—Transport & Smart Technologies.
“The materials are also recyclable, so they meet the requirements of OEMs who want the flexibility of materials that are functional and sustainable at the same time. Our PP range delivers on cushioning and impact protection to prevent batteries from damage caused by vibration or impact, while allowing for cell expansion and contraction when the batteries are charging.”
