Berlin, 08 October, 2024 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, will participate in The Batteries Event 2024, held from October 16 to 18, 2024, at the Lyon Convention Center, Lyon, France.
Now in its 25th edition, The Batteries Event 2024 will bring together key stakeholders from across the battery industry to discuss the latest trends and best practices, from battery production to recycling.
As battery technology continues to evolve, new challenges emerge, such as the need for enhanced adhesion promotion, stronger corrosion protection, and specialized pretreatments for lightweight aluminum materials used in structural components. The complexity of electric vehicle designs, with multiple functional parts, adds to these challenges, while concerns like electromagnetic shielding and improved conductivity are highly critical. MKS’ Atotech is leading the way in addressing these challenges with tailored solutions.
At The Batteries Event, MKS’ Atotech will present sustainable solutions for battery components, housings, and fasteners, including highly conductive and soft magnetic electroplated layers for effective electromagnetic shielding.
MKS’ Atotech products are designed to enhance corrosion resistance, conductivity, and adhesion properties across a variety of battery components, including current collectors, modules, and enclosures. On offer are specialized solutions for components like laminated foil bags used in pouch cells and nickel-plated cylindrical enclosures.
In addition, the advanced aluminum surface treatment processes help customers improve adhesion to paints, fire-retardant coatings, and structural adhesive bonding. By integrating these solutions with our low-temperature, long-life cleaning/degreasing solutions, customers can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions.
Our highlights will include:
CuProtect® XL ‒ Cr(VI)-free post-treatment, operating at high speed in high current densities with short exposition times.
Covertron® 600 – Cr-free pretreatment for plastic metallization suitable for the ABS, ABS/PC, and 2K/3K/ selective materials that are currently produced with Cr(VI)-based processes.
UniPrep® ‒ Long life, low temperature cleaning solutions, achieving superior cleaning performance with optimized operating cost and reduced energy demand.
Interlox® ‒ Zirconium-based conversion coatings and passivates for enhanced paint and adhesive bonding, offering peak corrosion performance and optimized operating cost.
Nichem® MP 1188 ‒ Mid-phosphorus electroless nickel solution, providing non-magnetic, highly corrosion resistant, and pit-free deposits for battery terminals and lead tabs and ensuring superior chemical and corrosion resistance.
Cupracid® Up ‒ Advanced copper plating solution, used as an intermediate layer between nickel strike or immersion copper layer and the top electromagnetic shielding nickel iron layer.
On Friday, October 18, 2024, Session 31, 11:15 a.m. – 12:30 pm, Fabrice Antoine will speak on the topic: “Enhancing Anode Current Collector Durability in Li-Ion Batteries through Passivation Layer Development.”
