Frequently Asked Questions

What are mica-based battery insulation solutions? +

Mica-based battery insulation solutions use natural mica materials to provide high-temperature resistance within battery systems. They are designed to improve efficiency and service life in energy storage and electric vehicle applications.

How does mica insulation prevent thermal runaway in batteries? +

Mica insulation helps prevent thermal runaway by acting as a heat and fire barrier between battery cells. It limits heat transfer, withstands extreme temperatures and slows flame propagation, reducing the risk of failure spreading through the battery pack.

How is mica insulation used in electric vehicle batteries? +

In electric vehicle batteries, mica insulation is used for cell separation, thermal shielding, fire panels and high-voltage electrical insulation.

What industries benefit from net zero battery solutions? +

Net zero battery solutions benefit industries including automotive, grid-scale storage, domestic energy storage, renewables and advanced manufacturing, all of which rely on safe and long-lasting energy storage systems.
