To meet the increased North American demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, Avery Dennison has introduced a portfolio of versatile pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, graphics, labels, and reflective solutions designed for common EV charging station applications.
As EV ownership rises, so does the need for an expansive, standardized, convenient and reliable charging network.
The US Department of Energy estimates the country will need 1.25 million public charging ports by 2030 to support the country’s growing EV fleet.
Avery Dennison PSA materials are available in a variety of options for adhesive formulation, carrier and liner. The company can also collaborate to create custom solutions for specific applications and provide application engineering and technical support to customers worldwide.
The new EV charging station applications include:
- Gaskets and seals
- Display mounting
- Mounting of parts and components
- Overlay and membrane touch
- Structural damping
- Electrical insulation
- Safety and warning labels
- Station branding and directional signage
- Enhancing station, pathway and hazard visibility
“EV charging station manufacturers need solutions that are scalable, durable, easy to apply, and in the instance of tapes offer dielectric strength to expand charging access as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said Danielle Wiltrout, product manager, General Industrial, Avery Dennison Performance Tapes.
