Delignit and Amorim Cork Composites launch FiberCork to boost the sustainability of electric batteries
FiberCork, ensures that the battery not only performs exceptionally but also actively contributes to carbon reduction.
New material for EV battery protection
In order to respond to these challenges, Amorim Cork Composites has developed Amorim ETP700, a material with unique properties that is positioned as an essential solution for the next generation of electric batteries.
Amorim ETP700 is a combination of cork and silicone, that has been developed to achieve exceptional fire retardant and a low compression coefficient, while helping to reduce the system's environmental impact. These properties make it an ideal solution for sealing electric batteries that require enhanced safety measures and long-term durability.
Compliant with UL94 V-0, the highest UL94 standard, Amorim ETP700 exhibits minimal combustion and self-extinguishes quickly, thereby guaranteeing fire safety. This feature is crucial when sealing electric batteries, where the containment of thermal runaways is essential to prevent major failures.
Amorim ETP700 provides further confirmation of Amorim Cork Composites' commitment to developing innovative materials that meet the highest standards of performance, safety and sustainability.
FiberCork, ensures that the battery not only performs exceptionally but also actively contributes to carbon reduction.
This innovative range of multilayer cork solutions aims to improve the thermal protection of electric vehicle batteries, while reducing their environmental impact.
Cork’s low density with its reduced thermal conductivity and resistance to high temperatures, make it ideal for the development of components for EV batteries.
