As the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to grow, so does the demand for materials that support safe, durable, and efficient battery design. EVB tape—short for Electric Vehicle Battery tape—plays a vital role in the structural integrity, insulation, and thermal management of battery packs.
Companies like Avery Dennison are at the forefront of developing high-performance tape solutions tailored specifically to the needs of EV battery manufacturing.
What is EVB tape?
EVB tape refers to a class of adhesive materials used in the production and assembly of lithium-ion battery packs in electric vehicles. These tapes serve multiple functions, including:
- Electrical insulation: Preventing short circuits between conductive components
- Thermal management: Assisting in heat dissipation or providing flame retardancy
- Cushioning and protection: Absorbing mechanical shocks or vibrations
- Bonding and spacing: Securing battery cells and components in place
The materials used must be lightweight, durable, and able to perform in demanding thermal and chemical environments, making the design of EVB tapes highly specialized.
Importance in battery pack assembly
EV battery packs are complex structures made up of hundreds of cells, modules, and electrical components. Efficient assembly and long-term reliability depend on materials that can ensure secure and stable integration. EVB tapes provide a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to mechanical fasteners or traditional insulation methods.
They also enhance battery safety by acting as barriers against heat, moisture, and electrical faults—critical in meeting automotive industry safety standards.
