By providing cost-effective, lightweight plastic solutions, SABIC is helping to advance EV technology.” This recognition not only underscores the exceptional performance and safety features of our polymer, but also reinforces the importance of our BLUEHERO initiative. Although thermal runaway incidents are extremely infrequent, the safety-conscious automotive industry is highly focused on ensuring that the design and performance of EV battery systems prolong the time available to exit a vehicle by delaying the propagation of a fire beyond the battery pack for as long as possible.Ī key consideration is the proper selection and deployment of fire protection materials used for battery pack components, including enclosures and covers, trays, thermal barriers that separate cells into groups, etc.Īccording to Venkatakrishnan Umamaheswaran (UV), SABIC’s global automotive marketing director: “UL Verification for the thermal runaway protection of STAMAX 30YH570 resin is a significant milestone in our development of polymer materials for today’s rapidly evolving EV battery systems. The vast majority of EV batteries perform without issues throughout their useful life. UL Verification, based on an objective, scientific assessment by a respected third party, can give customers high confidence in the flame delay performance of this product. This 30% glass fibre-reinforced copolymer resin, a featured product offered under the company’s Bluehero electrification initiative, is the first polymer used in electric vehicle (EV) battery systems to receive UL Verification for marketing claims of thermal and mechanical performance. SABIC has announced that its Stamax 30YH570 resin has earned the UL Verified Mark from Underwriters Laboratories.
