UV/EB technology opens a new chapter in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles

The new energy vehicle industry, as an important direction for the transformation and development of the global automotive industry, is currently in a stage of rapid growth. In the research and development and manufacturing process of new energy vehicles, higher requirements have been put forward for the performance, quality and production efficiency of components. UV/EB curing technology, with its unique advantages, has gradually become an important technical means in the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, opening a new chapter for the industry's development. ​
The unique advantages are in line with the demands of new energy
Lightweighting helps to enhance battery life
The driving range of new energy vehicles has always been a focus of consumers' attention, and achieving vehicle lightweighting is one of the key ways to increase the driving range. UV/EB curing technology plays a significant role in the lightweight manufacturing of new energy vehicles. EB cured composite materials can cure rapidly at room temperature. The components made from them feature high strength and low density, which can effectively reduce the weight of the vehicle body. For instance, the battery trays for new energy vehicles made of EB cured composite materials can reduce the weight by 30% to 40% compared with traditional metal trays. This not only lowers the overall weight of the vehicle, reduces energy consumption, but also leaves more installation space for the battery, thereby increasing the vehicle's driving range. ​
Rapid curing enhances production efficiency
The competition in the new energy vehicle market is fierce, and the product update and replacement speed is fast. Enterprises need to have efficient production capacity to meet market demands. The rapid curing characteristic of UV/EB curing technology precisely meets this demand. In the battery packaging process of new energy vehicles, UV-cured adhesives are used for bonding battery cells to the casing and connecting battery modules. The curing process can be completed within seconds, enabling the battery assembly production line to operate at high speed and significantly enhancing production efficiency. Meanwhile, in the manufacturing of automotive interior parts, UV-curable coatings can cure rapidly, shortening the production cycle of interior parts and accelerating the production progress of the entire vehicle.
