At The Battery Show Europe (June 3rd to 5th, 2025, Messe Stuttgart, Hall 10 – Booth G10), Henkel will present developments in adhesives, coatings, thermal management, and sealing solutions that support electric vehicle (EV) battery design, production, and circularity.
The company’s technologies — now integrated with AI-based simulation tools and debonding systems — are aimed at helping OEMs and battery manufacturers reduce development time, improve thermal and structural performance, and enable more efficient recycling at the end of a battery’s life.
Henkel will showcase its virtual adhesives and digital twin modeling capabilities, allowing manufacturers to predict material performance early in the design cycle. This reduces the need for physical prototypes and supports faster, data-informed design decisions.
The portfolio includes conductive coatings for dry and wet electrode processes. These materials are designed to improve adhesion, conductivity, and process efficiency in battery cell manufacturing while supporting cost reduction and sustainability goals.
An alternative to Mica Sheets
Henkel’s thermal barrier coatings offer thermal stability up to 1400° C and electrical insulation for cell-to-cell protection. These coatings are engineered for automated application, enabling consistent performance and simplifying battery module assembly and recycling.
Additional materials, such as pottings, round out the thermal and electrical safety lineup.
Debonding for repairs and recycling
Henkel’s structural debonding technology, compatible with adhesives in liquid, film, and tape form, enables separation of bonded battery components for repair, second-life reuse, or material recovery.
These capabilities support disassembly of structural bonds up to 12 MPa and will be demonstrated live at the Henkel booth throughout the event. Additionally, a technical presentation on debonding for battery repair and recycling will be delivered by Henkel on June 3rd, 2025, from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m.
Digital battery passport
Henkel will also present Path.Era, a digital battery passport ecosystem developed in collaboration with industry partners under the Catena-X framework. The platform enables traceability and supports circularity across the EV battery value chain.
A dedicated product wall at Henkel`s booth will feature a comprehensive selection of advanced materials for EV battery systems, including:
- Thermal Gap Fillers & Thermal Adhesives
- Structural & Assembly Adhesives
- Gasketing & Sealants
- Battery Conductive Coatings
- Dielectric Coatings
- Safety Coatings & Pottings
- Battery Repair Solutions
- Surface Treatment, Cleaners & Lubricants
