Laminated Composite Film for Packaging
SPALFTM is laminated composite film consisting of resin films and aluminum foil and is mainly used as packaging material for pouch-type LIBs. SPALFTM has a large market share in the world due to its excellent insulation performance and superb plasticity.
Pouch-type LIBs have outstanding flexibility in shaping. Therefore, they are used in many kinds of small devices including smartphones and tablets. Moreover, in recent years, pouch-type LIBs have begun to be widely used in large-sized equipment including EVs because pouch-type LIBs’ high quality has been widely recognized and there has been considerable progress in verification of pouch-type LIBs’ safety.
Since development of EVs is in progress not only in China but also in Europe and the demand for pouch-type LIBs have been increasing, this time the Showa Denko Group has developed a new type of SPALFTM for large-sized LIBs and decided to install equipment to mass-produce the new product.
