Cushioning
PROTECT the performance and improve the operating life of pouch cells.
Properties and Benefits :
PF40 and SF50 ensure a stable Compression Force Deflection
(CFD) over a wide range of compression rate (%), which makes it
possible to compensate for battery cells’ expansion and design
tolerances.
Over battery’s lifetime the foams maintain their properties (very
low Compression-Set and high Resiliency), even under extreme
conditions of temperature and compressive force.
With those properties, they are able to maintain an optimal
range of pressure on cells and maintain thermal contact between
cells and heat sink.
Moreover, PF40 and SF50 protect your cells against shocks and
vibrations, increasing the battery pack safety. They are standard
products whose properties (like CFD behavior) can be adapted to
your design and technical requirements.
If you need a flame retardant interface, SF50 is listed UL94 V0.
Thermal Management
PROTECT batteries against overheating and electrical shorts.
Properties and Benefits:
Our DPL solutions offer a wide range of Thermal Interface
Materials (TIM), ranging from very soft gap pads to firm silicone
rubbers to coated fabrics.
DPL products offer an excellent thermal conductivity, ranging
from 1.0 to 3.0 W/mK, according to ASTM D5470 and ASTM
E1530. They thus enhance interface heat transfer and aid battery
to cool down. Moreover, they are able to homogenize temperatures
across the cells and hence improve battery life time.
In addition to this, DPL products offer an outstanding electrical
isolation (greater than 5 kV/mm), which makes it possible to
protect your cells against any electrical short hazards, improving
greatly the battery pack safety.
DPL products are all flame retardant, most of them being UL94
V-0.
To better meet your needs, they are also offered with reinforcement
options.

Multi-Purpose
PROTECT batteries against vibration, overheating and electrical shorts.
Properties and Benefits :
MPS is a unique compression sponge (conformable interface
material) which combines 3 major properties :
1) It has a very low Compression Set / high resiliency, and it
maintains those properties over battery lifetime, even under
extreme conditions of temperature and compression.
2) It offers an efficient thermal conductivity and makes it
possible to improve cooling efficiency between uneven surfaces.
It is able to homogenize temperatures along the battery cells and
hence improve battery life.
3) It acts as a good electric insulator and thus protect your
battery cells against shorts.
MPS is flame retardant (UL94 V0).
Sealing
PROTECT battery packs from external environment hazards.
Properties and Benefits:
Our sealing solutions for battery packs offer outstanding water
tightness, by sealing out moisture and dust. A very efficient air &
water seal is already achieved at only 30 % compression rate.
DYNAFOAM and SF12 show a low water absorption and a low
Compression-Set (high resiliency), and this over a wide service
temperature range. They offer some harder or softer versions to
better meet your needs.
Thanks to its unique Foam-In-Place system, DYNAFOAM makes it
possible to enhance deeply your productivity for large volume
applications.
Thermal Insulation
PROTECT battery packs from external temperature variations.
Properties and Benefits :
HPI 40.0 brings a very low thermal conductivity (< 0.040 W/mK)
even at small thicknesses. It is very light and easy to assemble. It
has low oil and water absorption, and can be molded into 3D
shapes desired by the customer.
If you need a flame retardant interface, SF12 is UL94 V0 listed.
Our solutions insulate the battery pack from external
temperature variations, which enables to save battery energy
and improve its autonomy. Moreover, by minimizing the effect
of extreme temperatures which can occur in summer or
wintertime, they improve battery lifetime.
