Battery Encapsulation
In electric vehicle (EV) battery packs and modules, encapsulation foams surround cylindrical cells with thermal insulation and protection.
Insulating and Protecting Battery Cells
Foam encapsulation can add structure and rigidity to the battery pack by holding cells in place to protect them from shocks or vibrations. This is typically done using two component materials like silicone, silicone foam, epoxy, epoxy foam and polyurethane foam.
Encapsulation foams are mixed and dispensed into a module to fill the spatial cavities between each cell. The extra stability increases thermal insulation and prevents thermal runaway.
