New Energy Solutions K 2019
At K 2019, ARLANXEO will focus on the theme “future mobility”, as trends like electrification and autonomous driving will fundamentally change the way of transportation in the next decade.
With new means of transportation emerging, alternative ways of mobility sharing and usage as well as new kinds of energy generation and storage, ARLANXEO is putting its full focus on addressing these requirements, designing, testing and providing elastomer solutions.
Donald Chen, CEO of ARLANXEO: "While not always being visible to the broad consumers, our high-end rubber solutions are a key enabler of new technologies needed to make future mobility a reality. With innovation as essential part of ARLANXEO’s success and strategy, we are working closely with our customers in meeting their needs in electrification and automation. This year´s K fair presents a great opportunity to showcase our offerings and further explore cooperation opportunities with our clients and partners in the automotive and transportation industry."
New Solutions on Display at the Event
Key technologies at on display ay ARLANXEO Booth (Hall 6 / booth C52) will focus on three core areas:
New Tire Solutions
Solutions include new polymer architectures which improve tire compounds to help achieve reduced rolling
tire compounds to help achieve reduced rolling and abrasion resistance while maintaining safety aspects like grip. These developments can support the extension of the range and decrease energy consumption of vehicles, meeting the needs of e-Mobility.
New Energy Storage Solutions
High-performance batteries will undoubtedly play a key role for the breakthrough of electric driving. To meet this demand, ARLANXEO is focusing on developing innovative
rubber grades in lithium-ion batteries that ensure shorter charging times, more power and greater range. This also includes new thermal management solutions to secure batteries from overheating.
New Performance Applications
New rubber solutions are needed to address the emerging application demands in light of e-Mobility progress. Examples are:
-
More heat and flame-resistant cables for charging,
-
Lighter weight profiles
-
Better dampening and anti-vibration systems to improve comfort in electrical cars,
-
Effective and safe brake systems, or
-
New performance wiper blades serving the needs of camera based autonomous driving in the future
Beside its own presence, ARLANXEO will also again be hosting the “rubber street” located in front of its booth on an area of over 500m
2. Overall aim is to improve the visibility of the rubber and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) business at the K.
