World-renowned adhesives manufacturer Henkel Adhesive Technologies is helping to build the next generation of electric cars. Henkel products are used in various areas of electric vehicles, including battery technology, electric drive systems, energy conversion systems, lightweight construction and charging infrastructure. Depending on the area, these may include adhesives, coatings, sealants, lubricants and\/or other Henkel products. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Production of electric cars is increasing rapidly<\/h2>\n\n

Due to global warming, legal regulations, technical progress, greater ranges and lower prices, among other things, electromobility is playing an increasingly important role. According to the Swiss eMobility Association<\/g>, the proportion of plug-in vehicles in Switzerland<\/g> was already 27.3%<\/g> in the first half of 2023. Plug-in vehicles are battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). <\/p>\n\n

With a share of 22% electric cars (BEV) in new registrations, Switzerland has fallen slightly by two places to tenth place in Europe compared to 2022. In Norway, however, the share of BEVs in new registrations was already 81%, putting Norway in first place. In the Netherlands, Finland, Iceland and Sweden, the share was still between 30 and 40 percent. In Europe as a whole, the figure is 14 percent. Switzerland<\/strong> can score points with its almost 15,000 public charging points<\/strong>, making the Swiss charging network one of the densest in Europe. <\/p>\n\n

Henkel products relevant in various areas of electromobility<\/h2>\n\n

Henkel Adhesive Technologies offers a variety of different key technologies<\/strong> for production in the field of electromobility. These include materials for thermal interfaces (such as thermally conductive adhesives and gap fillers), thermal management solutions (such as fire protection coatings, potting and flame retardant barriers), adhesives (such as structural adhesives and adhesives for battery cell assembly), sealants (such as liquid sealants) and functional coatings (including conductive electrode coatings and dielectric coatings). <\/p>\n\n

Battery technology<\/h3>\n\n

An essential component of electric cars is the battery, for which Henkel has various solutions to ensure stability, sealing against moisture and dirt, for example, as well as heat dissipation, but also to contribute to the long-term performance of the battery. The operating temperature<\/strong> has a decisive influence on the service life of the battery<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
