ENPLUS, Silicon Foam Thermal Management Material for Secondary Batteries Achieves Highest Flame Retardant Rating

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] ENPlus has received recognition for excellent safety from a global safety certification authority for its thermal silicone foam (SF-300), following its thermal gap filler (GF-300). Both thermal materials for secondary batteries and ESS produced by ENPlus have obtained the highest global ratings.

On the 15th, ENPlus announced that its self-developed thermal material silicone foam for secondary batteries received the highest flame retardant certification grade V-0 from UL (Underwriters Laboratory).

The silicone foam is applied to the upper and side parts of the gas vent device (VENT) of secondary batteries. It is a safety material that suppresses flames caused by gases emitted from the vent device and prevents chain fires and explosions of batteries.

In August last year, ENPlus also obtained the V-0 grade from UL for its self-developed thermal gap filler. UL-94 certification is a standard development and certification for product safety of industrial goods in the United States and is used as a global safety standard.

ENPlus’s gap filler product extinguished flames within 30 seconds during testing, proving its flame retardancy. The silicone foam showed the same result in the same test.

With the silicone foam product acquiring UL-94 certification, ENPlus plans to strengthen its sales activities. As the market expands, battery safety is becoming increasingly important.

An ENPlus official explained, "ENPlus products have been internationally recognized for excellent safety regarding thermal materials," adding, "As safety is being enhanced in the secondary battery field, verification evaluating flame retardant products is an essential part."
