Dielectric

As the automotive industry undergoes a monumental shift towards electrification, BCW remains at the forefront, committed to providing state-of-the-art technologies that amplify battery performance, durability, and safety, all the while championing environmental sustainability.

The benefits of dielectric coating

An essential aspect of optimising electric vehicle battery packs lies in the application of dielectric materials. 

Dielectric coatings are pivotal in shielding battery pack components, cooling plates, and adjacent parts from electrical arcing and leakages, particularly in high-voltage environments. By effectively mitigating these issues, our dielectric powder coating solutions not only enhance battery efficiency but also ensure the safety of EV operation, alleviating concerns like range anxiety commonly associated with Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).

At BCW Treatments, we specialise in delivering advanced dielectric coating services precisely designed to meet these stringent demands of contemporary EV systems.

Key Facts:

• We collaborate with both powder manufacturers and application manufacturers to devise a coating method that meets our customers' requirements for electrical insulation and fire protection in BEVs.
• Dielectric coatings consist of a layer of powder applied to the component's surface to bolster its electrical insulation properties.
• Dielectric coatings are suited for application in various products within EVs systems, including battery stacks.
• Post-coating testing is conducted to verify critical customer test requirements, ensuring coating performance and conformity - including holiday test detection.
