Application of UV Coating: Lankwitzer’s Innovations Shaping Diverse Industries
In recent years, the application of UV coating has witnessed remarkable growth across various industries. UV coating, with its unique properties such as rapid curing, high durability, and excellent adhesion, has become a go - to solution for enhancing product quality and performance.
Lankwitzer, a renowned company in the coating industry, has been at the forefront of innovating UV coating applications. At the 3rd eic Three - Electric and Energy Storage “Insulation, Flame Retardancy, Heat Insulation, and Sealing” Technology Conference in 2024, Lankwitzer showcased its latest UV coating technologies and their diverse applications. The company’s representatives emphasized their commitment to developing advanced UV coating solutions that meet the specific needs of different industries.
One of the key areas where Lankwitzer’s UV coating finds extensive application is in the energy storage industry. Lankwitzer’s Evoprotect455UV series, designed specifically for battery cells, has been a game - changer. Evoprotect455UV (UE55 - 0500/0), developed over three years, entered production in 2018. With a production volume exceeding 4,000 tons and an initial operation pass rate of over 98%, it has been widely adopted on 24 cell - coating production lines in Germany and China. More than 500 million battery cells, many of which are used in energy storage systems, have been coated with this product. The UV coating not only provides excellent insulation but also protects the cells from environmental factors, significantly improving the performance and lifespan of energy storage systems.
Evoprotect455UV (UE55 - 0500/7), introduced in 2023, further demonstrates Lankwitzer’s technological prowess. Even after 1,000 hours of 85/85 aging tests, it meets customized customer requirements. With a shear strength of over 12mpa, low curing energy, an insulation withstand voltage of more than 6kvdc, and a dielectric strength of over 150kv/mm, it ensures the long - term stability and reliability of battery cells in energy storage applications.
In the automotive industry, especially in the production of electric vehicles (EVs), Lankwitzer’s UV coating has also made significant inroads. The UV coating helps in enhancing the durability of battery components, ensuring their safe operation even under harsh conditions. In a collaboration with a leading EV manufacturer, Lankwitzer’s UV coating enabled the battery modules to maintain a capacity retention rate of over 85% after 5,000 charge - discharge cycles, far exceeding the industry average.
Lankwitzer’s UV coating applications offer multiple advantages. The UV - curing technology enables the coating to solidify in less than 5 seconds, with a production cycle that can reach 50 - 60 ppm. This significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs. Environmentally, the coatings have an excellent recycling performance, with a comprehensive utilization rate of up to 95%. They generate almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the curing process, aligning with strict environmental standards.
Lankwitzer’s Shanghai Testing Center, equipped with a full - process spraying line, provides customized UV coating services. This helps customers save the investment in building a trial - production line and accelerates the implementation of new technologies across different industries.
As various industries continue to evolve, Lankwitzer’s innovative application of UV coating is set to play an increasingly important role in driving industry progress.
