Today, Steuler Linings, a global leader in corrosion protection and surface technology, introduces OXYDUR iVE, a revolutionary coating solution for the battery industry. This monostyrene-free epoxy novolac vinyl ester resin based coating sets new standards in resistance to process chemicals in the accumulator industry.
OXYDUR iVE offers extraordinary resistance to aggressive chemicals such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), organic carbonates and solvents. This innovation is a significant step forward in production of lithium-ion batteries worldwide.
“OXYDUR iVE offers a robust solution for the demanding conditions of battery production,” says Udo Sänger, Head of Surface Protection Linings at STEULER-KCH GmbH. “Our extensive durability tests show that OXYDUR iVE has significantly lower mass changes compared to standard VE systems, making it ideal for lithium-ion battery production as well as for the assembly and recycling process.
Key features of OXYDUR iVE:
- Monostyrene-free and environmentally friendly: Meets the strict VOC requirements of the AgBB test scheme.
- Mechanical strength and temperature resistance: Provides protection against physical and thermal stresses.
- Corrosion protection: Extends the service life of production facilities.
- ESD protection: Prevents electrostatic charges through electrical conductivity.
Mass change due to typical chemicals used in the battery industry: OXYDUR iVE in comparison to standard VE-Novolac. Low mass change = outstanding resistance
