Neuweid, Germany, November 4, 2020/PRNewswire/-Our metropolis needs new transportation concepts, and our vehicles need new drives. Climate change, shortage of raw materials and impending traffic congestion are forcing people to switch to post-fossil energy. The solution is: electric vehicles. It can create the freedom of movement required by modern society. New materials are used because new design concepts and functions will be implemented and integrated in future cars. Design, entertainment, and communication play an important role, and new energy storage systems such as fuel cells or lithium-ion batteries also play an important role. This is where Lohmann's "bonding engineer" comes into play. Especially in the field of functional tapes, the company has been using its creativity to introduce innovations that have played an important role in the development of electric vehicles.

Functional tape is more than just connecting two objects to each other. These tapes have additional properties such as insulation, conductivity, grip, shielding, and so on. Functional tape is in great demand, especially in the field of electric vehicles, because it is not the problem of adhesion itself, but the problem of thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, so as to shield or ground in the component, as required by the sensor , For example. In addition, electronic devices are becoming smaller and smaller, even in vehicles. In principle, this is advantageous, but the small space also increases the possibility of short-circuit or electromagnetic interference interruption. This is where functional tapes are the right choice, because they not only ensure the precise bonding of different components, they can also be used for grounding, heat dissipation or shielding. Adhesive tape is also used in the sealing field: in order to protect highly sensitive electronic components, materials that can perfectly adapt to and seal the gap are used. These not only ensure that dust, dirt and moisture are impermeable, but in the field of display technology, for example, they also have a damping effect and protect sensitive technologies from shocks. In fact, it is not surprising that an average of about 4.5 square meters of tape is used in today's cars. Lohmann's "Adhesive Engineers" provided a variety of adhesive solutions for this development.

Lohmann's AS (anti-static) series provides, for example, display protection from dust, scratches, and electrostatic discharge. The design and function of electric cars are usually more important than traditional cars. Antistatic film (DuploCOLL AS) helps protect the lens, TFT and LCD modules, and optically bond the touch display function. When it comes to functional and safety topics such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) or highly automated or fully automated driving, different issues need to be considered. Here, EC (electrically conductive) and TC (thermally conductive) tapes come into play. Lohmann's "bonding engineers" have found multiple TC solutions for LEDs, power transistors, heat sinks, or PCB heating components—just to name a few. Another thing is that manufacturers in the automotive and electronics industries are increasingly demanding silicon-free bonding solutions for parts. To this end, Lohmann developed the DuploCOLL® HCR series. The adhesive solution does not contain silicon, has a high degree of chemical resistance and temperature resistance, and is resistant to various environmental influences. DuploCOLL® G, a double-sided PE foam tape equipped with a customized activator, is especially suitable for the assembly and permanent fixing of components mounted on large glass surfaces, and is usually used in the construction of electric vehicles.

With the integration of fixed and portable modules, the development of electric vehicles and digitalization continues to require new and revolutionary bonding solutions. Lohmann sees the far-reaching potential of electric vehicles in the future and hopes to have a clear position in this field.
