Coatings for electric vehicles and battery enclosures
AIS has developed robust, cost effective coatings that provide insulating barriers around battery enclosures, electric vehicle chassis and key components. These coatings provide protection during extreme events such as thermal runaway and underbody fires.
Our solution
Our specially formulated intumescent coating is used in applications where safety, weight, and cost are important. The coating helps mitigate the risk of fire or extend the evacuation time of an electric vehicle and enables automotive manufacturers to meet current safety legislation such as GB 38031-2020.
Lightweight
Innovative solutions enable users to replace heavy substrates with thinner or lighter materials without compromising on heat transfer and fire retardancy.
Adaptable
Formulated to suit high / low production volumes and multiple substrate materials. ContraFlame® IC10 with little or no surface preparation has been successfully applied to a range of materials including steel, aluminium, SMC (sheet moulding compound), and thermoplastics.
In-house testing
Track record of performing flexible testing. We can simulate pan fire scenarios within our testing facility, allowing customers to evaluate substrate performance and protection.
