GGII expects that, as China’s new energy vehicle and lithium battery energy storage markets continue to grow rapidly, demand for flame-retardant and heat-insulating materials for lithium battery thermal management will surge. Measured by the coverage area of flame-retardant and heat-insulating materials in battery systems, total demand in China will exceed 90 million square meters by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 75% from 2020 to 2025 and over 36% from 2022 to 2025, maintaining rapid development. In terms of material mix, the share of conventional flame-retardant foam will gradually decline; mica materials and aerogel felt are the mainstream applications with the largest incremental space, while new materials such as ceramizable silicone rubber composites are also expected to gain share and enter a period of rapid growth over the next three years.
Leading domestic lithium battery equipment makers are working closely with top battery companies, and market concentration in lithium battery intelligent equipment is likely to rise further, making competition even fiercer. Lithium battery equipment companies can strengthen their overall competitiveness in two ways: first, by completing their lithium battery equipment business through mergers, acquisitions and bringing in strategic investors; second, by strengthening team R&D capability, pursuing technological innovation and raising the level of intelligent production.
Wanzhi Automation has therefore developed a tape applicator for the lithium battery insulation boards used in new energy vehicles. It improves the applicability of battery insulation materials, builds a resilient supply chain, further widens a cost-advantage moat, helps new energy technology companies upgrade and innovate across the board, and strengthens their core competitiveness.
Tape applicator for new energy battery insulation materials
The new energy battery insulation material tape applicator is suitable for new energy battery insulation sheets, heat-insulating foam boards, Mylar insulation sheets, epoxy boards — epoxy resin boards dedicated to lithium batteries — and new energy vehicle battery heat-insulating and fireproof insulation materials, applying double-sided tape with freely settable application length. The tape applicator heads are selected to suit customer requirements; optional automatic feeding and receiving mechanisms are available, and a high-accuracy tape applicator can be custom-built.
