For the successful implementation of electromobility, not only the vehicles but also the associated charging infrastructure play a decisive role. Various technologies are currently used to charge electric vehicles.

For the electronics of charging stations, Wevo offers temperature-stable adhesives and potting compounds based on silicone, epoxy resin and PU.

Lanxess has expanded its composite range called Tepex flowcore. The product family is specially developed for various compression molding processes.

No additional injection-molded material was used to produce the ribbing on the demonstrator model. It is made entirely from compression-molded Tepex flowcore.

Kraiburg TPE’s latest thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) has been specially developed for consumer and industry applications and contains up to 40 % post-consumer recyclate (PCR). In accordance with standard ISO 14021, the manufacturer recycles materials that end consumers from households and the industry can no longer use for their intended purpose.

The latest solution from Kraiburg TPE makes a post-consumer recycling proportion of 40 % possible. The TPE is partly made from household waste.

The processing of highly reactive resin systems requires a detailed understanding of the material behavior during component manufacture. The characterization of systems using DSC to date has reached its limits, especially in the case of polyurethanes. A specially developed measuring cell, on the other hand, delivers better results.

Electromobility in particular, but also many other electrical applications, are asking for ever higher demands regarding the electrical properties of thermoplastics. This raises the question of whether the polymers commonly used in this area can still meet these demands. The plastics manufacturer, Lanxess, has now investigated how suitable, for example, polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate are for use at higher voltages and temperatures.
