Compound Development & Validations
Flame -retardant Elastomers for EV Battery Safety
To address the challenge of preventing repetitive thermal runaways in electric vehicles (EVs), battery manufacturers sought flame-retardant elastomers that also offered excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Traditionally, these specialized elastomers were expensive and imported, creating a supply chain and cost challenge.
In response, we developed an indigenous and cost-effective solution with our VIBSIL™ series — a range of silicone compounds with V0 flame-retardant ratings. Available in both V0 60 and V0 40 Shore A hardness, these elastomers offer exceptional ease of moulding while maintaining superior mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties.
VIBSIL™ has quickly gained acceptance among battery manufacturers and EV OEMs, providing a reliable and affordable alternative to imported materials. This innovative compound plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety, performance, and cost-efficiency of electric vehicle battery systems, helping to sidestep potential thermal risks while ensuring long-lasting durability.
