Huntsman has developed a range of high-strength polyurethane and epoxy resins that can be customized and quickly cured to create composite battery structures for underbody and top cover battery protection components. These materials can reduce overall weight and increase strength and structural performance, making them a cost-effective solution for manufacturing sandwich composites. Huntsman’s lightweight RIMLINE FC system has good flow properties and can create complex 3D shapes, while the RIMLINE LFI resin system can be molded into strong parts with a density of 1100 kg/m3. The company has also developed materials for electric vehicle battery cells that improve conductivity and provide thermal, vibration, and structural protection. Huntsman’s MIRALON NMP Dispersions and MIRALON Current Collectors can increase cell capacity and reduce weight. The company’s portfolio of battery materials includes ULTRAPURE carbonates and high-purity solvents for reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries. Huntsman’s innovative solutions support automotive OEMs and their suppliers in their pursuit of powertrain performance and sustainability.
