Berlin, May 2, 2023 Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, will participate for the second time at The Battery Show, Europe. The combined conference and tradeshow is Europe’s largest event for advanced battery manufacturing and technology and will take place in Stuttgart, Germany from May 22 – 25.

At this show, we will present our leading surface treatment solutions for BEV, HEV and PHEV batteries. Our portfolio at the event will include corrosion protection, adhesion promotion and dedicated anti-tarnishing processes for current collectors, as well as pretreatment, anti-tarnishes and silver, nickel, and tin plating processes for connectors and busbars. We will also present our environmentally friendlier technologies for surface treatment of aluminum components in and all around the battery – thermal management system components such as heat sinks and cooling trays, as well as aluminum scroll compressors and protective shells for modules and packs. Furthermore, we will showcase solutions for highly conductive and soft magnetic electroplated layers for electromagnetic shielding and dedicated, sustainable process concepts for corrosion protection of fastening elements for battery applications

You can meet the Atotech team at booth no. 8-C38 to discuss our broad product offering for BEV, HEV and PHEV batteries.

Our product highlights comprise:

Cr(VI)-free anti-tarnish treatment for current collector copper foils:
