New Debondable Adhesives for EV Batteries
Henkel reports that it has released material solutions that enable OEM and battery manufacturer customers to reduce impact across all emissions categories, while improving battery performance, safety, cost and process efficiency. Battery debonding technology is critical to enable end-of-line repair and disassembly of batteries at end of life. The company reports that its debondable adhesives offer non-destructive dismantling solutions for both thermal and electrical delamination triggers.
“Compared to Europe, the United States is just beginning its journey toward regulatory requirements for EV Batteries,” said Pankaj Arora, vice president electronics & e-mobility, Henkel Corporation, North America. “But dialogue is continuing to increase and it’s essential we prepare today in order to enable the repair, reuse and recyclability of the battery.”
