E Control Devices is working with the biggest OEMs front and center and helping the EV industry move toward electric cars.
It’s working across companies and providing the biggest range of components to develop high-tech car experiences.
The company’s capacity and prowess are not in comparison with other companies working in the same sector. They have contributed to the EV sector in past years through their catalog of reflective tapes, adhesives, and fluids. Still, recently they have added some more products in their catalog and enabled the car manufacturing companies to provide better assistance.
They are collaborating with 3M and are authorized for their multiple divisions, like EMD and AASD. Recently they also added IATD, Industrial Adhesive, and Tape Division.
The OEMs and EV manufacturing companies are going through a huge transformation, and 3M enables them to provide the best solution and support via their product range. In addition, safety design engineers work with the team to provide a solution to every individual client.
What is growth in the EV sector?
This growth can be seen in the increased production and output of EV manufacturing companies. In addition, many OEMs are also manufacturing EV battery packs and charging stations.
3M has dedicated divisions and product ranges that are used in the development and maintenance of EVs. The future of sustainable mobility depends on these companies and people retrying to get past the issue and drawbacks they are facing in EVs like safety, speed, and feasibility.
We see the unprecedented phenomenon of electric vehicles, and everybody is getting it. People are excited to have an alternative to traditional transportation, and E Control Devices, along with 3M, is enabling the companies. As a result, the global EV market is developing by 8 to 10 % yearly.
The companies are achieving their goal and market share, leaping toward smart cars for a better future and mobility.
What are the 3M parts used in EVs?
E Control Devices, in collaboration with 3M, provides a long product menu of high-tech EV products and components used in the battery packs and charging stations.
For example, manufacturers and designers of EV batteries prefer using 3M adhesives, sealants, and fillers. There are several processes in the EV batteries for which adhesives and sealants are required. The adhesives are used to bond different parts together, and sealants have an excellent capacity to provide insulation which keeps the moisture and dust out and restricts them from entering the internal and sensitive components and areas.
Then there is a process known as a thermal runaway that is required for better thermal protection. It is quite different from thermal management materials and solutions. For thermal runaway, barrier materials are used for strong battery cells.
These components are the best support to the designers who want the latest and automated application methods while keeping the end product lightweight.
In the assembling process, there is a whole different range of products. In this process, the engineers and designers use structural adhesives, friction shims, double-sided tapes, battery sealants, and resin fillers.
Structural adhesives are used to keep the components together. The friction shims reduce or absorb the vibration that comes into the internal components. The continuous friction loosens the components over time.
Double-sided tapes from 3M come with industrial-grade strength, which keeps metals, plastics, glass, and other materials together for a long time.
Apart from manufacturing, companies are also working on maintenance; aerosols and other fluids from 3M are best to be used, considering the sensitive components and safekeeping. For better protection, you can also use electrical insulating films and sheets containing the current and preventing leaking.
The EV battery and charging points are different applications, and in these processes, 3M products are very good and practical. For example, EV batteries require additional thermal management, which prevents fire accidents and keeps the batteries’ performance updated.
Again, there are requirements for electrical insulation and protective components in batteries and charging points, and stations. These also require tapes and adhesives.
How E Control Devices Are Contributing To Electric Vehicle Industry?
They are working hard with 3M to develop a long menu or catalog of products that will enhance the performance and safety of the EVs. In addition, they are working with several OEMs and EV components manufacturing companies to develop better products for innovation.
For example, they are currently developing dashboards that use projector films or protective films to provide better vision without the interference of sunlight or flare.
For this, they use the protective films from 3M, which keep the sensors and delicate parts operating well and fine even if the weather is not very good.
They are working with their clients and other OEMs to provide enhanced and improved battery life for EVs. For the thermal management of the batteries, they provide coolants like thermally conductive tapes, thermally conductive pads, and many other components.
These items are very good components that effectively expand and elongate the battery life and performance. Apart from these, 3M also manufacture and ECD provide to their clientele for better visibility of the vehicles. So this product is not just to be used in EVs, but it can be used in several other areas too.
The reflective tapes are a very good idea to increase the visibility of vehicles on highways or in low light. It can also be used to show the turns and blind spots on the roads. It reduces the risks of accidents and collisions.
There is a very big market for EVs, and their uses can make a difference in their systems to better workings. You can find the entire range of 3M products on the website, in which you will find a dedicated section just for EV products.
