Next-Generation Electric Vehicles Safeguard Stators Thanks to Electrolube's ER2223 Resin

In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs), reliability and performance are paramount. Electrolube, a brand of Henkel, has developed a solution to meet these demands with its ER2223 black epoxy resin. This high-performance resin material has been successfully optimizing the performance of the stator in next-generation EVs.

ER2223 is a chemically resistant epoxy potting compound, specifically formulated for harsh under-hood applications in the automotive industry. It is designed to withstand permanent contact with refrigerants and various fluids commonly found in the engine compartment or other mechanical apps. The resin material exhibits good resistance to thermal cycling and boasts an exceptionally wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +180°C.

Electrolube conducted a series of resin tests with various test-specimens performing under permanent contact with a mixture of different fluids, including oil and cooling fluid, at temperatures up to +175°C for 168 hours. The results demonstrated ER2223's robustness and chemical resistance, making it an ideal choice for EV applications.

The increasing complexity of EV electronic systems makes them more susceptible to contamination and adverse environmental conditions. A single assembly failure can compromise the operation of another assembly. In this particular application, Electrolube's ER2223 resin was selected due to its excellent protection against different kinds of oil and cooling fluids widely used in today's automotive sector.

ER2223 is a part of Electrolube's key product groups, which include conformal coatings, thermal management solutions, and contact lubricants. The company is pleased to have provided a reliable solution that effectively guards against chemical contamination, ensuring the smooth operation of EVs.

It's worth noting that unlike aerospace systems, automotive designs typically require immediate functionality and must work flawlessly throughout their entire lifespan. ER2223 resin, with its fast curing properties, cures in an hour at 100°C, in 4 hours at 60°C, and within 24 hours at room temperature. This speedy curing time makes it an ideal choice for the automotive industry where time-to-market is crucial.

In conclusion, Electrolube's ER2223 resin is a significant step forward in the development of next-generation EVs. Its chemical resistance, thermal management capabilities, and fast curing time make it an invaluable asset in the automotive industry.
