1. Thermal Insulation
FiberCork offers low thermal conductivity, which is essential for minimizing the risk of battery cell overheating. During critical events, such as a thermal runaway, the material acts as an effective barrier to contain the spread of heat and flames within the battery, ensuring the safety of passengers and vehicles.
2. Particle Bombardment Resistance
This solution not only demonstrates exceptional thermal properties and resistance to high temperatures but has also successfully passed rigorous particle bombardment tests. These tests simulate the expulsion of particles from cells during thermal runaway, showcasing FiberCork’s ability to withstand extreme conditions and protect the system.
3. Sustainability and Environmental Impact
By combining natural materials like beech wood and cork, FiberCork enhances the sustainability of the final system compared to materials like mica or foams. This makes FiberCork a solution aligned with the decarbonization goals of the mobility sector.
4. Versatility of Applications
FiberCork can be applied in various parts of a battery, such as cell spacers or thermal pads. This versatility makes FiberCork an integrated solution adaptable to the specific requirements of electric mobility projects.
