Berlin, October 2 – MKS’ Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS, will participate in The Battery Show North America 2025, held October 6–9 at the Huntington Place, Detroit, USA.
Celebrating its 15th year, The Battery Show North America is the continent’s largest advanced battery event, drawing over 21,000 engineers, business leaders, and industry innovators. The four-day event features educational sessions, networking opportunities, and the latest market innovations for the EV and battery value chain.
MKS’ Atotech will showcase its advanced surface finishing solutions for EV, HEV and PHEV batteries, highlighting Cr(VI)-free technologies, sustainable adhesion promotion processes, and treatments for critical components such as battery and module enclosures, thermal management systems, current collectors, busbars, connectors, and polymer housings.
Our copper plating solutions address key industry challenges, ensuring uniform, highly conductive copper layers on complex geometries, maintaining adhesion and flexibility on composite or polymer substrates, delivering corrosion protection under high voltage cycling and thermal fluctuations, and scaling processes from lab to production while meeting environmental compliance standards.
Our portfolio includes fully matched processes for every step of the surface finishing workflow – from pretreatment to final sealing – helping improve battery performance, durability, and sustainability. Solutions enhance corrosion resistance, conductivity, and adhesion across components including terminals, enclosures, laminated foil bags for pouch cells, and steel sheets for cylindrical housings.
Visitors can explore innovations such as:
- Sustainable surface treatments for copper foils and busbars
- Corrosion protection for steel and aluminum battery housings
- Advanced solutions for fasteners and battery terminals
- Electromagnetic shielding layers for critical components and polymer battery housings
Our highlights will include:
CuFoil PET 2 ‒ Copper plating for enhanced efficiency and safety for composite current collectors, offering exceptional flexibility and optimized conductivity
CuProtect® XL ‒ Cr(VI)-free post-treatment, operating at high speed in high current densities with short exposition times
Argalin® XL – Chromium-based anti-tarnish, ROHS compatible (CrIII) for silver, copper and nickel-plating processes for busbars and connectors
Silvertech® RBH – Cyanide-based hard silver-plating process (180 HV)
UniPrep® – Long life, low temperature degreasers suitable for steel and aluminum battery components
Interlox® – Zirconium-based conversion coatings and passivates for enhanced corrosion protection and paint adhesion
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet our technical experts, discuss their surface finishing challenges, and discover tailored solutions that support higher efficiency, better performance, and environmental responsibility.
