【PTIF2024】How do polyurethane materials lead the “revolution” of new energy vehicles?

As a high-performance organic polymer material, polyurethane has excellent insulation, shockproof, sound insulation and weather resistance, so it has a wide range of applications in the field of new energy vehicles. For example:

- In the battery pack of electric vehicles, polyurethane foam is used as a filling material, which can effectively protect the battery from vibration and shock, and improve the safety and stability of the battery.

- Polyurethane can also be used as an outer shell material for battery packs, which can help improve the safety performance of battery packs and reduce potential fire risks due to their good thermal insulation and fire performance.

- In the body structure, polyurethane foam can be used as a sound insulation and shock absorbing material to improve the comfort and safety of the vehicle.

- In tire manufacturing, polyurethane materials are widely used in the manufacture of high-performance tire products due to their wear-resistant and anti-aging properties, improving the driving performance and safety of vehicles.

With the continuous expansion of the new energy vehicle market and the improvement of consumers' requirements for vehicle performance, the application demand for polyurethane in the field of new energy vehicles will continue to grow. It is expected that in the next few years, polyurethane materials will be more widely used in the field of new energy vehicles, providing strong support for the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry.

In this context, the 2024 Polyurethane Frontier Technology International Forum "Polyurethane and New Energy Vehicle Application" sub-forum came into being. The sub-forum will showcase the latest research results, technological innovation and product development of polyurethane in the new energy vehicle industry, and provide a platform for participants to exchange and learn and seek cooperation.
