PPG power battery fireproof coating solution, enabling a new era of safe travel

Shenzhen, China, January 4, 2022 – Recently, PPG (NYSE: PPG) was invited to attend the 2021 High-tech Lithium Battery Annual Conference held in Shenzhen from December 21-23
.
At the meeting, Li Nianbin, Vice President of Automotive Coatings Asia Pacific, delivered a keynote speech entitled "PPG's New Fire-Retardant Coating Solution for Thermal Runaway of Electric Vehicles", which fully demonstrated PPG's new industrial layout and product R&D achievements in the field of electric vehicles and mobility
.

In recent years, under the background of the national "dual carbon" development strategy, industries such as new energy vehicles, power batteries and energy storage batteries have ushered in new development opportunities and challenges
.
To this end, PPG follows the trend and establishes the world's first PPG electric vehicle and smart travel innovation application center in Tianjin, China in 2021.
The center will cover material application laboratories and material application test lines related to power battery safety to accelerate the industry.
Industrial application of new technologies
.

Recently, PPG announced that its CoracharTM SE 4000 production line of PPG's global electric vehicle power battery fireproof coating in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China was officially put into production
.
The new production line is mainly used for the production of fireproof coating products for electric vehicle battery packs
.
Li Nianbin said: "Compared with the traditional thermal insulation blanket, aerogel or mica sheet and other power battery thermal runaway isolation solutions, the PPG power battery fireproof coating solution subversively improves the power battery's fire performance, heat insulation effect, weather resistance, and durability.
Salt spray and chemical corrosion performance, workability, battery pack weight and effective space have been greatly improved
.
”

It is worth noting that the research and development of this new type of battery fireproof coating takes into account the various performance and industrial construction requirements that the product needs to meet, including effective spraying through advanced robotic systems, and the automated coating process satisfies the large-scale automated production of battery packs.
It can greatly release and increase the capacity of the battery pack production line
.

In addition, PPG Wuhu electric vehicle power battery fireproof coating production line also has a high level of production automation: from raw material inspection and storage to material preparation, feeding and filling and out of the warehouse, the entire process adopts the latest automation process and monitoring technology
.
At the same time, production management can be measurable and controllable, and batch information can be traced
.

Li Nianbin said: "Through long-term systematic verification, the PPG power battery fireproof coating solution fully meets the latest GB38031 and GBT31467 national standards
.
Large-scale automatic spraying production has been realized on the customer's production line
.
At present, this product has passed many Certified by the world's leading automotive OEMs and commercialized
.
At the same time, PPG's power battery fire retardant coating solution won the prestigious Global Top 100 Technology R&D Award (R&D 100) in 2021, leading the world in innovation
.
"

As a brand new industrial track, new energy vehicles must not only run faster, but also run more safely
.
In March next year, PPG will hold a grand launching ceremony of PPG's global power battery fireproof coating production line in Wuhu City, Anhui Province
.
The new production line will further expand high-performance solutions for new energy vehicles
.
It is expected that the annual output of the Wuhu factory will reach 20,000 tons in 2022, of which the power battery fireproof coating can reach 1,100 tons
