Layered mineral polyurethane laminate: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Thermal runaway and structural failure in battery enclosures pose significant safety risks, which are mitigated through the engineering of mineral-reinforced polyurethane composite barriers. This specific material architecture provides the necessary flame retardancy and mechanical integrity to prevent pack-to-pack propagation.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Layered mineral polyurethane laminate?

Substrate thermodeformability and solvent toxicity

(25)evidences

Standard mineral-polymer laminates exhibit poor ductility and structural failure during high-temperature shaping processes. Enhancing thermodeformability prevents delamination and cracking during complex part fabrication.

Interfacial delamination of dissimilar materials

(6)evidences

Incompatible thermal and mechanical properties between metal, mineral, and polymer layers cause structural separation. Preventing bond failure ensures the integrity of multi-material footwear components.
