The Volt Tough portfolio includes a wide range of tapes that incorporate several critical features for OEMs and converters, including:
- Conformable options for curved geometries
- High abrasion-resistant options
- Various color options for vision inspection systems
- Flame-retardant options for UL 94 and other flame requirements
- High dielectric strength with thin, consistent profiles enabling higher energy density
- Instant bonding to enable efficient production
In comparison to EV battery spray coatings, Volt Tough tapes provide a multitude of benefits that render it a more advanced solution. These include lower cost, no curing time, thinner profiles for better heat flow and extended shelf life.
