FRX Innovations makes progress in electric vehicle fire safety with its Nofia flame retardant

FRX
Innovations, a leader in environmentally friendly flame retardant solutions, recently announced an important development using Nofia® flame retardants for fire protection in electric vehicle (EV) battery casings. The product is being tested by one of the world’s leading car manufacturers.

The latest development not only enables the system to comply with the most stringent fire safety standards, it also demonstrates a breakdown voltage capability of 1000V. Higher battery voltage means higher electric vehicle efficiency, better performance and better charging. For drivers, this means faster charging and lower energy consumption. The main parameter of charging speed is the charger output power, which depends on voltage and current.

This development demonstrates FRX Innovations’ huge potential in the booming electric vehicle battery housing market. The market is currently valued at US$1.5 billion and is expected to
It will grow to US$24 billion in 2033.

Marc, CEO of FRX Innovations
Lebe said: “This recognition of our product capabilities by a leading global supplier to an automaker underlines the company’s leadership in materials innovation. We are committed to helping set new benchmarks in electric vehicle safety and performance. This is a testament to our The unique properties offered by the polymeric flame retardant solution Nofia®.”

FRX Innovations continues to expand its use in automotive applications such as heat shrink tubing and low-odor, non-migrating flame retardant foam for interior trim, as well as components made from automotive polymers such as polyamide 12
(PA12), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
and TPEE. These opportunities are developing rapidly, in part because government regulations around the world are affecting traditional brominated and PFAS-containing flame retardants, and high-performance, environmentally friendly Nofia® can serve as an alternative to these flame retardants.
