SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, will showcase, for the first time, its strategic BLUEHERO™ electrification initiative at The Battery Show Europe 2022 (Booth 8-F10) from June 28 to 30 in Stuttgart, Germany, while also highlighting its comprehensive materials offering and expertise for next-generation batteries and energy storage applications.
Cell to Pack (CTP) technology connects the batteries directly to the pack, eliminating the need for modules and therefore decreasing the overall size, weight, and cost of a battery.
Covestro offers a portfolio of PC+ABS materials to meet the packaging needs of prismatic cells. This portfolio includes Bayblend® FR3010 as a standard flame retardant PC+ABS., Bayblend® FR3080 EV for thin-wall flame retardant parts, and Bayblend® FR4065 EV developed for high humidity resistance.
Modular battery case designs with thermoplastics can provide an increase in energy density of more than 30% versus other designs, as this approach makes optimum use of the space available. There are several opportunities with a modular design to stop thermal runaway propagation (TRP) before the case casing has to contain it.
SABIC currently produces a flame-resistant PP battery pack cover used by Honda in the China market. The cover eliminates thermal blankets, reducing weight by 40% vs. a similar metal cover. Next-generation thermoplastic battery pack and module prototypes are in development. Rhode Island-based Tri-Mack Plastics recently showed lightweight, high
High voltage (>60 V) electric vehicle battery pack enclosures can contribute significant weight to the overall battery pack, impacting its specific energy (Wh/kg). Certain high performance engineering thermoplastic materials can replace traditional metals, saving weight and easing the burden of cumbersome processing.

BATTERY PAC DESIGN Compared to a battery pack solution with conventional metal solutions, our plastic-intensive concept can deliver: An electric vehicle''s heart is its battery pack. Optimizing this system for reduced cost and weight while improving range, crashworthiness, and modularity is a pressing industry need.
One issue with using thermoplastics has been the structural considerations. Designers are increasingly looking at using the battery cells as part of the structure of a vehicle, which means there can be less structural pressure on the design of the case as the cells and modules take more of the stress.
One perception is that plastics are not suitable for battery packs as they cannot prevent thermal runaway and fires. However in testing, an aluminium plate was exposed for 5 minutes to a flame with a temperature of 1100 ºC. The same test on a plate made from long glass fibre polypropylene and a flame retardant (FR) resin reacted very differently.
Our solutions include cans, cases, lids, tabs, rolls, and laminated films (aluminum – and polypropylene-based). The cylindrical cell continues to be one of the most widely used packaging styles for primary and secondary batteries. The advantages to using this cell format are manufacturing convenience and mechanical stability.
Owing to the popularity of the cylindrical cell geometry, cylindrical cell packaging material is the most commonly available packaging for lithium-ion batteries today. With the advent of portable consumer electronics, use of the prismatic cell design has grown considerably over the course of the last decade.
Glass fibre top covers, bottom covers and impact protection plates can provide a more cost-effective material for battery cases. The most challenging factor is TRP, as the combustion needs to be contained in the box. Then there are EMI, thermal and electrical isolation and mechanical issues of drive loads, crashes and impacts to consider.
In a modular case, most of the materials are set in the battery platform. These include the plastic carriers, the adhesives and the busbars, all with a UL94 rating of V-0. The battery case casing is part of the vehicle integration, so each vehicle designer comes with different needs.
