Alpharetta, Georgia, USA, March 23, 2023 -\u00a0Solvay<\/strong><\/a>, a global market leader in specialty materials, has announced the introduction of a new high-heat and flame retardant grade in the company\u2019s\u00a0Xydar\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0liquid crystal polymers (LCP)<\/a>\u00a0portfolio, which is designed to meet critical safety demands in EV battery components. The new Xydar\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0LCP G-330 HH material addresses challenging thermal and insulation requirements and is targeted particularly at battery module plates of EV models operating with higher voltage systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs automakers are moving from 400V to 800V on next-generation electric vehicles, new regulations in Europe, China, the United States and other countries are increasing the demand on battery components to withstand temperatures from 300\u00b0C to 1000\u00b0C for an extended window of up to 15 minutes,\u201d states Brian Baleno, Head of Marketing, Transportation at Solvay Materials. \u201cAppropriate materials are expected to retain a level of electrical insulation protection that will provide sufficient time for passengers to exit the vehicle in a thermal runaway event. Our new Xydar\u00ae<\/sup> LCP<\/a> grade combines this high safety potential with exceptional processability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xydar\u00ae<\/sup> LCP G-330 HH is a glass-filled LCP for injection molding capable of retaining its electrical insulation upon exposure to 400\u00b0C for 30 minutes. Xydar\u00ae<\/sup> LCP is an inherently flame retardant polymer, without the use of halogen or bromine additives. In addition, it offers exceptional flowability and helps battery designers achieve thinner parts than possible with incumbent battery module insulation materials, such as polycarbonates or aerogels. It has been successfully tested with plates molded in typical dimensions of 100 x 150 x 0.5 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xydar\u00ae<\/sup> LCP has a proven fit in many electrical and electronic as well as coating applications. Besides automotive lighting components, sensors, solenoids and connectors, advanced examples in e-mobility<\/a> include thin-wall slot liners used in the rotor design of an electric drive traction motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xydar\u00ae<\/sup> LCP G-330 HH extends the portfolio of Solvay\u2019s battery solutions, which also includes Solef\u00ae<\/sup> PVDF<\/a> for binders and separators, Ryton\u00ae<\/sup> PPS<\/a> for coolant line connectors and vents, and Amodel\u00ae<\/sup> PPA<\/a> for connectors and busbars.
