Product Description
Waterproof PP Closed Cell Foam for EV Battery Insulation
Lightweight Polypropylene Foam — Thermal and Electrical Protection for EV Battery Packs
Product Overview
EKKOFLEX's waterproof PP closed cell foam is a lightweight polypropylene foam specifically engineered for EV battery insulation. Manufactured through advanced irradiation cross-linking technology, the foam achieves a closed-cell rate over 98%, providing reliable thermal insulation, waterproofing and cushioning protection for battery cells and packs.
With thermal conductivity as low as 0.034 W/m·K and stable performance from -40°C to +130°C, this foam effectively manages heat transfer in battery packs while its closed cell structure blocks moisture and water vapor. Lightweight density starting at 33 kg/m³ minimizes added battery weight, and its high dielectric strength makes it suitable as an insulation layer in EV battery assemblies.
