Cosmic Polycarbonate Blend Helps BMZ GmbH Battery Home Storage

2018-12-03

Winsin Material Network News: The use and storage of renewable energy is also being used more and more in private and commercial environments: fixed battery energy storage system based on lithium-ion battery technology has broad market prospects. BMZ GmbH, as a leading supplier of lithium-ion batteries, has developed such battery home storage devices, which are also sold under its own names as EES 7.0, EES 9.0 and ESS X storage series. This means that the use of renewable solar energy generated in photovoltaic systems in private and commercial applications can be more independent of daytime time and solar location.

Covestro supports a variety of BMZ battery projects, including material selection, plastic compatible component design and CAE-based component simulation, to meet the requirements of the United Nations Battery Transport Test (UN 38.3). Further services include mold flow analysis and technical injection molding support.


Jens Ufermann, who also takes care of the local BMZ GmbH, said: "Each battery project is technically demanding, which is why I am very happy that Koth's plastic can make an important contribution here. Together with BMZ and other customers, we are working on sustainable product and application development to grasp the challenges of battery technology in the future.


High requirements for fixed and mobile applications


Similar to battery systems for mobile applications such as automobiles, buses, scooters and scooters, energy density and safety are important aspects in the development of fixed-use battery products, as are BMZ GmbH energy storage systems.


Dr. Julian Marschewski, Marketing Manager of Battery Packaging for Electric Vehicles, said: "Our in-depth understanding of the different applications of battery systems and our years of experience in battery application materials enable us to provide our customers with technical expertise and appropriate products."


Customized Polycarbonate Blends


Bayblend < (PC+ABS) blends from Covestro play an important role in mobile and fixed battery applications, such as placing a single cylindrical battery unit in 18650 or 21700 format in a battery bracket. In order to achieve this, the material must have excellent mechanical properties, first of all, high impact strength and high fluidity, in order to achieve the thinnest wall between individual cell when manufacturing battery holder by injection moulding.


According to the UL 94V-0 category, additional safety is provided in subsequent use by combining the flame retardant grades that meet the high flame retardant standards of the insurer's laboratory.


A wide variety of products


The application combination of Kosichuan batteries is continuing to develop. For battery holders used to maintain cylindrical cell, bag cell frame, battery shell and similar applications, the focus is on unburned (Bayblend < FR3010, Bayblend < FR3040) and mineral filled (Bayblend < FR3020, Bayblend < FR3021) and glass fiber reinforced (Bayblend < FR3060 EV) flame retardant products Bayblend <. Cosmic also provides the thermal conductive polycarbonate grade of the Makrolon < TC product line, which is helpful for the thermal management of batteries.
