Epoxy powder coatings have been successfully used to insulate copper buss bars used in electrical switchgear for decades. The development of high voltage battery systems used in modern BEV vehicles have increased demand for insulation coatings to prevent arcing between metal components within the battery enclosure. However, repurposing these proven insulation coatings from the simple… Continue
What is porosity in dielectric coating? Porosity in dielectric coating refers to microscopic air pockets, bubbles, or voids that can form within the coating layer, normally due to an issue with the part or during the coating process. These are not visible on the surface but can drastically reduce the coating’s protective properties, especially in… Continue

Understanding how batteries work is crucial for optimising production processes. A battery operates by converting chemical energy into electrical energy, facilitated by four key components: the anode, cathode, separator, and additives. The anode (e.g., graphite) releases electrons, while the cathode (e.g., LFP: lithium iron phosphate) receives them, ensuring efficient energy transfer. The separator prevents short… Continue
