The Role of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives in Automotive Assembly

PSAs can be used in a wide breadth of applications in automotive assembly. From joining and fastening exterior parts like side-view mirrors, to more complex interior components like display screens and electronic rear-view mirrors, PSAs are literally the glue that holds many components of our modern-day vehicles together. In addition to their structural necessity, they also help deliver a quieter, lighter product to the consumer, playing an important role in buzz, squeak, and rattle prevention for a quieter, smoother ride.

Battery Material Spotlight: 3M™ FRB-NT Insulating Paper

3M™ FRB is a family of high-performance insulation material engineered for a range of different applications. The lower density and laminated variants of the FRB-NT family offer solutions to various issues within the E-Mobility sector, mainly providing electrical insulation and cell-to-cell propagation protection for battery packs.

Material Spotlight: Avery Dennison Volt Tough Electrical Insulation Solution

The Avery Dennison Volt Tough line is a line of specialty dielectric pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) that was introduced to the market at the 2023 Battery Show North America. With its high-dielectric strength, instant bond, and durability, the Volt Tough line has many applications in electrical battery insulation. In today's material spotlight, we're focusing on a new addition to the Volt Tough Line: Volt Tough Stretch.

Performance Materials for Thermal Management in Battery Applications

OEMs are hard at work hunting for the EV battery thermal management unicorn. But no single material or process has emerged as the clear leader.  Thermal Management materials are typically produced in large rolls or sheets and must be transformed into custom solutions by a specialized converter that can combine base materials, then cut and package the material to be ready for use by the battery module and pack manufacturers. This paper highlights several key thermal management materials and discusses how JBC Technologies fits within the EV battery manufacturing value chain.
