EVs inherently reduce carbon emissions compared to internal combustion engines. However, manufacturing EV components can be costly and contribute to undesirable waste. Our portfolio of specialty chemical additives offers a wide range of processing and operational efficiency depending on your machinery and end product. Whether you require a reduction of material waste, improved energy consumption, or strengthening your brand downstream, these additives can help you address and reap the benefits of sustainability in your EV manufacturing.

EVs and HEVs are being designed for longer battery ranges and heavier load capacities. So, many vehicle components must protect these crucial technology components. Explore our range of additives that help benefit dielectric properties, from flame retardants to silicone and fluoroelastomer insulation materials.

The rapid expansion of infrastructure technology for EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs poses new challenges for the automotive industry. Thermal and UV management for e-mobility requires adaptation to both external and internal temperature conditions while maintaining the optimal temperature for various components. Explore our range of additives for thermal and UV management in charging stations, connectors, interior and exterior components, and under-the-hood applications.

With growing demand and increasing consumer expectations, EV and PHEV manufacturers must utilize materials that are efficient, dependable, and long lasting. Explore our additive offering to achieve long-term durability and improved strength.

Lightweighting for EVs poses new challenges that require multimaterial designs to successfully reduce the overall vehicle weight. This improves longer distance ranges, stability, strength, and cost-effective solutions for EVs. Our supplier partners below offer varying additive benefits that can contribute to vehicle lightweighting design.

Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) issues associated with new powertrains, such as electric and hybrid, were previously unknown. Using our supplier partners’ performance additive solutions allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers to effectively address the issues associated with electrification. These technologies enable the reduction of component weight while simultaneously ensuring exceptional noise and vibration performance.

Engineering resins, including polyolefins, composites, and fiber-reinforced polymers, play an important role in metal replacement in e-mobility. Substituting polymers for metal allows for improved corrosion resistance, reduced weight, and minimized overall cost.

E-mobility vehicles are creating new problems for designers and engineers when it comes to long-term performance from corrosive chemicals and high-thermal environments. From coatings to elastomers to plastic components, chemical resistance is essential in long-term performance.
