The PORON EVExtend® product family of battery pad materials is the latest advancement in protecting and extending battery life for pouch, prismatic, and solid-state batteries. Designed to address the unique challenges of electric and hybrid-electric vehicle batteries, PORON EVExtend outperforms other battery pad solutions on the market, offering superior levels of reliability and long-term durability.

Features

  • PORON EVExtend 43: Thickness range of 0.039 to 0.118 in (1 to 3 mm) and density range of 7 to 20 lb/ft3 (112 to 320 kg/m3)
  • PORON EVExtend 43: Flat CFD Curve
  • PORON EVExtend 43: Tight specification of 5% on compression set (per ASTM D3574 at 70⁰C), on select items
  • PORON EVExtend 71: Density range of 20 to 25 lb/ft3 (320 to 400 kg/m3) at thickness of 0.188 (3mm) thickness
  • PORON EVExtend 71: Excellent compression set resistance and stress relaxation properties

Benefits

  • PORON EVExtend 43 maintains constant pushback force, allowing designers to meet both beginning and end of life limits despite cell pouch expansion
  • Lower density PORON EVExtend 43 provides excellent pressure management solutions for pouch applications where conformability is still critical
  • Higher density PORON EVExtend 43 and PORON EVExtend 71 are firmer battery pad offerings that provide excellent pressure management solutions for higher energy density, rigid prismatic, and solid-state cell application where consistent, higher pressure is required for cell performance
  • Excellent durability and long-term performance
  • Maintains original thickness and properties throughout the life of the battery
