Solvay, a leading global supplier of specialty materials, has launched XencorTM XTreme, a new long glass fiber PPA solution for battery applications that require resistance to thermal runaway and propagation.
XencorTM XTreme PPA LGF grades are designed to provide excellent resistance to direct flame exposure to 1000°C for over 10
Minutes of performance, providing passengers with sufficient time to exit the vehicle in the event of thermal runaway, and satisfies Europe, China, the United States and other countries.
This series of materials maintains excellent levels of electrical insulation after exposure to flame, helping to mitigate thermal runaway in batteries. More importantly, the material has a high glass transition temperature
(Tg), which ensures the part remains dimensionally stable under battery operating conditions.
“XencorTM XTreme
Designed specifically for battery components such as overmolded busbars, module end plates and supports, expanding our broad portfolio of battery solutions. This unique product family gives engineers the freedom to address some of the biggest challenges in safety, power density, security and lightweighting. “Automotive market manager
Brian Baleno said.
Key benefits of XencorTM XTreme include high stiffness, strength and impact resistance, best-in-class electrical insulation (relative tracking index >600 volts), and high dielectric strength.
The new XencorTM XTreme will be on display at the Solvay stand 4213 in Hall B4 during the Fakuma show in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
