Battery Safety & Encapsulation

Precision High-Pressure PU Potting for EV Cell Safety

Plan EV battery-cell encapsulation around the selected PU formulation, cell geometry, thermal-management design and inspection criteria. GB 38031-2025 specifies safety requirements and test methods for traction batteries; supplying dispensing equipment or selecting a flame-retardant material does not establish battery-pack compliance. Thermal-propagation performance, electrical insulation and void content require defined tests on the intended assembly.

Battery-System Safety Validation

Define the applicable battery-system safety requirements with the pack designer. Thermal-propagation results require representative assembly tests and source reports.

Filling and Void Inspection

Select mixing and dispensing arrangements through formulation and gap-filling trials. Validate void content using the agreed inspection method.

EV Battery Polyurethane Application Overview

Haifeng delivers complete encapsulation systems—from closed-loop high-pressure metering units and multi-axis Cartesian dispensing gantries to optional curing lines and MES database synchronization—engineered for high-cadence gigafactory battery module assembly.

Cleanroom Manufacturing

High-Pressure Battery Cell Potting Workflow

A synchronized four-stage workflow delivering high-cadence, bubble-free potting with 100% telemetry traceability per battery module.

01

Precise Fluid Temperature Management

Polyol and isocyanate precursors are conditioned in stainless steel jacketed tanks. Dual heat exchangers stabilize chemical temperatures within ±0.5°C to control reaction exotherm.

FLUID TEMP: ±0.5°C | DUAL TCU FLUID SKIDS
02

High-Pressure Impingement Dispensing

Servo-driven displacement pumps meter precursors into an L-shaped high-pressure mixing head mounted on a 3-axis CNC gantry, dispensing exact shot weights into battery module crevices.

SHOT REPEATABILITY: ±1.0% | SHUT-OFF: 0.3 S
03

Capillary Expansion & Void-Free Filling

The injected reaction mass flows freely into ultra-narrow cell interspaces, expanding into low-density microcellular foam that locks cells in place without generating excessive internal stress.

VOID RATE: <0.1% | FLAME CLASS: UL94 V-0

Production Planning Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Engineering and purchasing questions about this polyurethane production route.

How does polyurethane foam potting compare to silicone or epoxy potting for EV cells? +
Compare density, viscosity, cure behavior, mechanical response and cost for the selected formulations. Flame rating and electrical or thermal performance require their own specimen and assembly tests.
How does this potting line help fulfill the GB 38031-2025 safety regulation? +
The dispensing line supports a configured encapsulation process. GB 38031-2025 compliance is established for the battery through the applicable safety tests and supporting records, rather than by the dispensing machine alone.
How is filling quality assessed in narrow cell gaps? +
Use representative dispensing trials to establish material preparation, head selection, trajectories and cure settings. Define inspection methods and acceptable void content before acceptance.
Can this potting line upload real-time parameters directly to our factory MES? +
Yes. The industrial PLC system records injection pressure curves, flow rates, shot weights, and thermal data for every battery module, synchronizing seamlessly with plant MES via OPC-UA/Ethernet-IP.
What is the standard on-site installation and validation timeline? +
Mechanical positioning, fluid piping hookup, CNC trajectory teaching, and live module potting trials are typically completed within 18 days by Haifeng field engineers.
