Our custom formulations, developed by our professional and experienced R&D staff, are used for the most demanding energy storage applications. Our compounds are engineered not just for end-use performance, but for manufacturing efficiency and processing consistency. The right formulation reduces production challenges and improves product quality.
What are the best PVC materials for energy storage enclosures?
The best PVC materials for energy storage depend on your specific application requirements. AuroraGuard™ compounds including rigid PVC, CPVC, TPOs, and TPEs provide high-heat, low-smoke zero-halogen, and flame-retardant properties ideal for battery enclosures. For applications requiring flexibility, AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC offers a cost-effective alternative. Our R&D team can help you select the optimal material based on your fire safety, thermal, and mechanical requirements.
How do PVC materials improve battery safety?
PVC materials improve battery safety through multiple mechanisms: flame-retardant formulations prevent fire spread and meet UL 94 V-0 standards, high dielectric strength prevents electrical failures and short circuits, impact resistance protects against mechanical damage during transport and use, and thermal stability prevents material degradation at elevated temperatures. Low-smoke zero-halogen options minimize toxic fume generation in fire events.
Are there lightweight PVC options for EV battery applications?
Yes, Aurora offers lightweight PVC formulations specifically designed for electric vehicle applications where weight reduction is critical for range and efficiency. Our compounds provide the optimal balance of weight reduction and structural integrity, maintaining fire safety and impact resistance while minimizing battery pack weight. Contact our technical team to discuss specific gravity requirements for your EV application.
What is the difference between impact-resistant and flame-retardant PVC?
Impact-resistant PVC is formulated to absorb mechanical shocks, vibrations, and external pressure, protecting battery components during transport and use. Flame-retardant PVC is formulated to resist ignition, limit fire spread, and self-extinguish when heat sources are removed. Many of our AuroraGuard™ compounds combine both properties, providing comprehensive protection for energy storage applications that require both mechanical durability and fire safety.
What fire safety standards do your energy storage materials meet?
Our AuroraGuard™ compounds meet stringent fire safety standards including UL 94 V-0, IEC, and NFPA requirements. We offer self-extinguishing formulations with low-smoke emission properties. Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) options are available for applications where smoke toxicity is a concern. Our materials can be tested and certified to meet specific energy storage fire safety requirements for your program.
