How a typical project runs
Battery module insulation for an EV pack
01
Challenge
A module supplier needed a die-cut insulator that could withstand temperature cycling and be placed quickly on an automated line.
02
Approach
We selected a PI-based construction, laminated it with a liner for pick-and-place, and produced a die-cut part with first-article dimensional inspection.
03
Outcome
The part was validated by the customer and moved to pilot production.
FAQ
Do you supply flame-retardant tapes?
Yes. Flame-retardant and halogen-free options are available depending on the application and standard. Please share the requirement and we will confirm the available documentation.
Can you die-cut battery insulation parts?
Yes. We cut PI, PET, foil and laminated constructions into custom shapes with liners suitable for automated placement.
How do you handle traceability for battery projects?
We keep batch and work-order records and can provide the available material documentation. Additional inspection or PPAP-style documentation can be discussed.

What the enquiry has to state before a grade can be judged
Battery and storage programmes fail a tape for reasons that are usually stated in the enquiry rather than discovered in the trial. These are the five that decide what we can propose.
| What decides the outcome | What to state with the enquiry | What we send back |
|---|---|---|
| The surface, not the assembly | What each side of the bond actually is: aluminium, nickel, copper, painted housing or a coated foil, and whether a release film or primer stays in place | What we are willing to hold on that surface, and the cases where we would not recommend the grade, confirmed by a trial on your material rather than by a datasheet |
| The exposure profile | Whether the heat is continuous or cycled, whether humidity is steady or seasonal, and whether ultraviolet reaches the part at all | Aged data for the construction where the mill publishes it, or the trial plan for the aging you run yourself |
| The function required | Electrical isolation, thermal transfer, grounding or shielding. They read similarly in a specification and behave differently on a pack | The constructions that perform the function you named, with the limits of each stated plainly |
| The cut and the drawing | Critical dimensions marked on the drawing, the assembly the part goes into, and the tolerance that actually matters at fit | Tolerances confirmed against the drawing at quotation, with first-article results before series converting starts |
| The release pattern | Prototype, pilot or recurring release, and whether the approved construction has to be held reserved for the programme | The minimum order and lead time that follow from that pattern, written into the quotation rather than published as one figure |
What a trial should prove before tooling is committed
A new-energy component is rarely rejected because the tape carried the wrong brand name. It is rejected because a condition was never tested: the surface it met, the age it reached, or the way the joint was built. A short trial plan written before the sample request saves more time than a longer datasheet review.
The order of the tests matters as much as the tests themselves. An as-constructed bond tells you the adhesive is alive; an aged bond on the real surface tells you whether the assembly will still hold in the third year.
- Bond to the surface you will actually use, including any coating, anodising, paint or release film left in place
- Test after the aging the product sees, not only as-constructed, because heat and humidity move a bond line further than most other variables
- Build one sample the way the line builds it, so the trial part and the production part are not two different assemblies
- Photograph the failure before discussing the fix; a cohesive tear, an adhesive release and a substrate failure each need a different answer
- Write the acceptance criteria onto the drawing, so a later substitution is judged against the same standard rather than a new opinion
Honest boundaries
Where a converter ends and the programme begins
What we take on
Selecting and converting the adhesive layer: grade proposal, slitting to the width your applicator takes, die-cutting to the drawing, incoming and first-article inspection, and the records that go with the shipment.
What we do not
Pack design, cell selection, thermal modelling, structural analysis or a signed engineering opinion on your assembly. A supplier who offers those without the equipment to run them is offering a document, not data.
What we will not claim
A flame rating, thermal conductivity figure or durability life we cannot evidence for the specific construction on your order. If the grade manufacturer publishes it, we pass it on with the source; if not, we say the number is not ours to give.
What we agree in writing
The approved construction, the surfaces it was proven on, and the substitution route if a material becomes unavailable. Those three items are what make a re-order repeatable rather than re-qualified every time.
FAQ
Battery and storage buyers ask
Can you supply a complete pack solution?
No, and it is better to say so. We work on the adhesive layer: the tapes, insulation plies, thermal interface materials and die-cut parts you specify. Your engineering team decides how they sit inside the pack, and we quote against that decision rather than pretending to make it.
Do you keep new-energy grades in stock?
It depends on the construction and the width, not on the category. Common insulation and bonding constructions are converted from material we can obtain quickly; a grade you have qualified for a programme is planned against your release pattern, and both the stock position and the lead time are stated in the quotation.
What paperwork comes with a shipment?
The datasheet for the construction quoted, lot or batch identification where the mill provides it, and the compliance statements the manufacturer publishes for that grade, REACH and RoHS among them. Where a document does not exist for a material we say so at enquiry stage; a certificate we cannot issue is worth less than a limitation stated early.
Can you manage change control on a qualified construction?
As a programme requirement rather than an assumption. If your project needs it, the notification terms are agreed at order review and the approved construction is recorded against your order, so an adhesive lot, backing supplier, liner or cut-route change is discussed before the affected rolls ship.
Can you replace a tape already qualified on a cell?
By construction rather than by name. Send the part you use, and we describe what it is, where it differs from what we can supply in backing, adhesive, thickness and liner, and which differences matter for your assembly. The final decision is made on your substrate, not on a comparison table.
