Oerlikon’s superior heat resistant materials enable you to meet all safety requirements within the UN GTR No. 20 regulation. All international and national regulations are based upon strict safety standards, such as the following:
China - GB 38031 | Japan - Harmonized with UN R100 |
Europe - ECE R100 | Republic of Korea - KMVSS 18-3 |
India - AIS-038 | USA - FMVSS No. 305a |
With the increased need for faster charging times and longer ranges, these demands are pushing the limit of Lithium-ion batteries. Safety is a main demand for all OEMs and consumers as the volume of EVs on the road increases. As the EV industry continues to advance, exploring alternative materials that address these demands will become essential for ensuring sustainable and ethical products that are robust, reliable, and long-lasting thermal insulation solutions.
