EV battery safety - Svenska Aerogel

Naerogel is an innovative solution that helps prevent thermal runaway and increases battery safety in electric vehicles. This lightweight and fire-resistant aerogel material with low thermal conductivity, helps enhance battery safety when integrated in pads or coatings.

Elevate EV battery safety with Naerogel

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) brings exciting advancements, but also calls for addressing potential safety risks. Thermal runaway, a dangerous chain reaction where one overheated battery cell ignites and spreads to adjacent cells, is a critical safety concern. This uncontrolled event can lead to battery fires and even explosions.

Naerogel: Paving the way for a safer and more sustainable EV future

Versatile integration into several battery systems

Naerogel is a lightweight, highly porous silica material with exceptional thermal insulation and fire-resistant properties. When integrated into products for EV battery systems, Naerogel effectively helps to slow down or stop the progression of a thermal runaway, mitigating the chain reaction from escalating and safeguarding battery integrity. By incorporating Naerogel into EV battery protection solutions, manufacturers can prioritize efficient passenger safety.
