PPG develops new application method for battery pack fire protection coatings


US-based paint and specialty materials manufacturer PPG has developed a new method for applying battery fire protection coatings, called Intelligent Dynamic Non-Masking Airless Application (IDNMAA).

PPG says the battery fire protection coatings they developed are highly adaptable, enabling them to accommodate any battery pack design—an essential feature as packs become increasingly complicated.

IDNMAA technology merges the advantages of airless and flat stream methods, according to the company. While the traditional airless method is effective, it requires time-consuming masking and unmasking. The flat stream method eliminates the need for masking because of its precision but has longer cycle times, high film thickness in overlapping areas and bumps on the surface finish, resulting in material waste.

IDNMAA is designed to deliver both precision and efficiency, enabling rapid application and a smooth finish while reducing or eliminating the need for masking. This increases operational efficiency, minimizes waste and reduces costs related to manpower and material usage, the company explains.
