Enable High-Tech

Batteries provide the energy for many everyday applications, such as cell phones, laptops and notebooks, mobile household or garden appliances and electric vehicles. They are also necessary for stationary energy storage. Separator films play a crucial role in the production of batteries and have a number of advantages:

• high puncture resistance

• controlled ion flow for higher performance and energy efficiency

• complies with national and international regulations

Renewable and alternative energies, electromobility and its charging infrastructure, automation and digitalization go hand in hand with a growing demand for high-performance capacitors, especially in the field of ultra-thin and ultra-high temperature electronic capacitors. PP capacitors produced on our lines have valuable properties:

• frequency and temperature independence

• high pulse stability

• high breakdown voltage

• producible in the thinnest thicknesses below 3µm

Composite current collector films represent a technological approach for advanced battery systems. Depending on the battery design, they can help support certain safety-related requirements while also influencing characteristics such as energy density, throughput, and system stability. Compared to conventional aluminum or copper current collectors, these films offer several potential advantages:

• high puncture resistance

• increased energy density by up to 10 %

• raw material savings of copper aluminum for significant reduction in CO2 emissions

Polyester film is used in a wide range of optical applications with sensitive surface requirements, including touch panel substrates, reflective films, and protective films. We offer solutions with special coating technologies, including for high-quality cleanroom technology, that offer various advantages:

• scratch-free surfaces for efficient productivity

• high transparency for high-quality optical applications

• good adhesion to various substrate layers 

The backsheet is a protective layer on the back of solar cell modules. It helps protect the module from moisture and other environmental influences while supporting the long-term functionality of the solar panel. Our latest highlight: lines for the production of durable films for outdoor use.

Flexible hybrid electronics offer new possibilities for many “smart” products such as organic displays and photovoltaics, medical sensors and printed batteries. The production of the films required for these applications must meet strict standards to ensure the required properties:

• specific surface properties for ultra-high barrier

• very good mechanical properties

• suitability for clean room environments

Industrial films are a fundamental component in a wide variety of applications: insulation, membrane switches in motors and transformers, protective and separating films and motor insulation films are just a few examples. The manufacturing and designing of the necessary stretching lines requires meeting the specific technical requirements of various industries.
