At JBC Technologies, we often speak with customers needing laminated and die-cut microcellular soft and very soft open-cell polyurethane foams. It is good to have options in today’s volatile environment with tight supply chains and unpredictable lead times. So for today’s material spotlight, we’ve chosen to feature an option that checks off many boxes: ISOLOSS™ LS Polyurethane Foam, manufactured by Aearo Technologies LLC, a 3M company.

6 Thermal Management Materials for EV Battery Applications

arrow-right

Li-ion batteries perform best when maintained within an optimal temperature range.   The challenge is exacerbated by the consumer’s desire for a rapid charge and discharge, both of which add to heat management issues.  Too hot or too cold and thermal instability can occur leading to thermal runaway that can at best destroy the cell and at worst start a vehicle fire.  Reducing this thermal instability is where many of the performance materials that we convert at JBC Technologies come into play. Die-cut performance materials such as those described in this post can be used at the cell level, the module level, and even the pack level.

Selection Criteria for Skin Contact Adhesives

arrow-right

Selecting a stick-to-skin (skin-contact) adhesive is different from choosing an industrial pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Unlike static substrates such as foam, metals, plastic, felts and foils, the skin is a living, breathing substrate. It is highly elastic and can change over time as cell cycles renew frequently. This post, prepared with the help of some of our vendor partners, examines some factors to consider when selecting a skin contact adhesive for your wearable medical device or health and beauty product.
