Ostfildern-Kemnat, Germany. Air quality control, water treatment and waste separation are key aspects of modern environmental technologies. Depending on the application, the increasingly smart components necessary for this purpose have to be reliably protected from challenging environmental conditions such as dust and moisture, aggressive media or mechanical stresses, for example…

Ostfildern-Kemnat, Germany. One of the most important requirements for batteries in electric vehicles is the ability to mitigate thermal runaway. This is defined as protection against overheating through a self-reinforcing, exothermic process and cushioning the effects should this happen nevertheless. Apart from mechanical stability through good vehicle design and cooling…

Hydrogen-based fuel cells achieve high performance and are energy-efficient. They produce no harmful emissions because only water and electrical energy are released when hydrogen reacts with oxygen. The technology therefore holds considerable potential for powering electric vehicles in the context of the proposed mobility transition. Since hydrogen is the smallest…

Diverse topics, detailed information and entertaining insights – the first issue of Wevo’s SCIO magazine contains articles on topics from smart farming to Germany’s vehicle charging infrastructure. “SCIO” is Esperanto and means “knowledge”. As the name of Wevo’s customer magazine, SCIO stands for that that we aspire to achieve through…

Ostfildern-Kemnat, Germany. High temperatures are generated in the battery cells of electric vehicles (EVs) during charging and these have to be dissipated. Until now, this has mostly been achieved by inserting silicone-based pads between the cells and the cooling system. However, the manufacturing process of batteries is increasingly demanding that…

Murr, Germany. An aqueous base, different tack properties, limited tendency to yellowing – Curvalin D 409X from ZELU CHEMIE GmbH is a product series consisting of water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) with an already proven track record. That makes the products the ideal solution for a wide range of self-adhesive applications,…
