The spread of fire can in turn put drivers and passengers in danger, and so EV battery fire shields are essential.<br>The MAFTEC needle blanket has a melting point of 1,850\u2103 and boasts excellent tensile strength even at high temperatures. By combining this with inorganic fiber woven cloth, we were able to create a lightweight material with outstanding fireproof properties, fire resistance, and particle impact resistance. EV battery prototypes using MAFTEC as fireproof material are to go on display at The Battery Show North America in Novi, Michigan, from September 12th to 14th, 2023.
