ProtectION+ leaflet - Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Foams

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.
