At this year’s Battery Show Europe 2021 in Stuttgart, Germany, Sabic called attention to its dedicated, all-encompassing approach to “Powering Excellence in Batteries and Energy Storage” in automotive and e-mobility to stationary applications.

The company said its goal at the event, which runs from from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2, was to demonstrate its commitment, expertise, and broad portfolio of polymer and specialty technologies to help customers implement safer, more sustainable, and economically scalable concepts for more efficient energy storage.

Featured solutions from Sabic's portfolio at the show included:

“Most countries on this planet are committed to deliver on carbon neutrality ambitions, so accelerating innovation in batteries — from lead-acid to lithium-ion and fuel cells — is key for the world’s transition to clean energy,” said Bob Maughon, Executive Vice President, Sustainability, Technology & Innovation, and Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer at Sabic. “Our drive is to power the energy-storage value chain with second-to-none application technology, material engineering, regulatory expertise, and one of the most comprehensive and focused thermoplastic offerings in the market.”

One of the most critical issues, especially in the performance of batteries for electrical vehicles (EVs), is the prevention of battery fires in thermal run-away situations. Sabic’s range of non-halogenated flame retardant (FR) resins can offer unique intumescent and char-forming properties, delivering the potential to stop the propagation of flames in the case of a fire and eliminate the need for additional thermal blankets, such as those required when using metal designs. At the same time, Sabic’s non-halogenated FR resins provide greater design flexibility, significant weight savings — an important feature for supporting the improved driving ranges of EVs — and recyclability to support the circularity of battery materials.

Sabic’s offerings are targeted at all types of battery components for EVs, e-bikes, and industrial vehicles (forklifts, caterpillars) as well as EV charging infrastructure and energy storage systems (ESS).

At the event in Stuttgart, Sabic also presented its vision of re-imagining battery designs for e-mobility and industrial applications with advanced thermoplastics to maximize safety, extend product life, and support manufacturing scalability. Several exhibits demonstrated this in-depth application and material expertise:
