Flexible Solutions

Rogers Corporation’s PORON^® 40V0 foam gives engineers a thinner, softer, and UL 94 compliant solution for gap filling and cushioning.

Unlike standard polyurethane foams, PORON 40V0 combines reliable flame resistance with enhanced compressibility in slimmer grades, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. It also meets strict environmental standards and minimizes contamination risks in critical applications.

Thermal Runaway Propagation Prevention with Thermal Barrier Materials

Hybrid and battery electric vehicles that use lithium-ion cells require these cells maintain specific ambient temperatures. "Thermal runaway" occurs as a result of the rapid rise in temperature within one of the battery cells.

One of the greatest challenges for battery design engineers is to manage heat. For this reason, batteries are designed with thermal management systems, like thermal gap pads and thermally conductive tapes, that provide different levels of protection, including cell-to-cell, module-to-module, and pack level.

Marian provides custom flexible die cut solutions that are incorporated into battery design at the cell, module and pack level to aid with thermal management. These die-cut parts are made with high temperature resistant materials (also known as flame barrier materials) that are designed to offer thermal insulation to delay the onset of thermal runaway.
