With a strong focus on innovation, MKS’ Atotech has been developing sustainable solutions to enhance battery longevity and recyclability. This year the company will highlight new solutions in corrosion protection, adhesion improvement, and in electrical and mechanical performance of battery materials.
Huseok Lee, OEM Manager of our General Metal Finishing Business Unit, stated, “Our participation in InterBattery 2025 reflects our commitment to addressing key challenges in the battery industry. Through sustainable innovation, we are leading the future of EV and battery technology. We look forward demonstrating surface finishing solutions for battery components, focusing on technologies that mitigate contact corrosion in battery cells and housings, as well as introduce advanced solutions that enhance electrical and mechanical performance of bolted busbar connections, reducing contact resistance and improving reliability.
Key technologies to be showcased:
Technologies for enhancing battery performance and durability.
- CuFoil PET2 – Innovative copper plating for composite foils with tensile strength of 180–240 MPa and elongation up to 15%
- NiFe Shielding – Electroplated nickel-iron alloy for superior EMI shielding and enhanced
- Electro NiP – Nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) alloy electrolyte for enhanced corrosion resistance in battery terminals and lead tabs
Corrosion protection and adhesion improvement solutions
- Zinni® 220 + EcoTri® NC + Zintek® Top XT – Coating system with a stainless-steel appeal, passing 120 cycles of the ASTM G85 A5 cyclic corrosion test
- Interlox® – zirconium-based conversion coating for improved corrosion resistance and paint adhesion on aluminum substrates
Eco-Friendly and cost-reduction solutions
- Covertron® 600 – A low-temperature degreasing solution that reduces energy consumption and operational costs
- Master Remover – Paint stripping solutions that remove wet, powder, and e-coats without damaging aluminum surfaces
- StannoPure® PF10 – High-stability tin plating process compatible with sulfuric acid & MSA tin types
- UniClean® A101/B201 – multi-metal soak cleaner for efficient low-temperature degreasing
