Manage Cell Swelling & Reinforce Safety
Our compression pads support the most diverse battery configurations and can be seamlessly integrated into assembly lines. TRP pads help with safety management by limiting heat propagation to adjacent cells.
Compression Pads
Available with silicone and micro-cellular PUR material options, compression pads provide optimum cushioning support for the dimensional change of the cell during the breathing process and for the gradual permanent swelling that occurs throughout the battery lifespan. With customized thickness and tunable Compression Force Deflection (CFD), our range of compression pads can adapt to both prismatic and pouch cells with different chemistries (cathode, anode or electrolyte). The benefit of UL94 V0 rating in our silicone pads contribute for added FR safety.
These characteristics, combined with our robust simulation capabilities, help to arrive at an optimum compression pad solution for maximizing your EV range.
Additionally, compression pads can reduce the severity of vibration and shock on the battery components.

TRP Pads
During normal operation, these pads provide outstanding and reliable mechanical properties by providing consistent force during its charge/discharge cycles, thereby maximizing cell performance.
In the event of a thermal runaway, these pads provide the electrical and thermal insulation to limit the propagation to adjacent cells, thereby enhancing the safety for passengers.
