SolvaLite® 716FR

SolvaLite® 716FR by Solvay is a rapid curing epoxy prepreg resin system. It exhibits superior flame retardancy compared to conventional thermoset prepregs and aluminum. It protects electric batteries from fire hazards and allows passengers sufficient escape time in the event of a thermal runaway.

• It is a structural battery housing solution which ensures reliable EMI shielding performance and enables efficient processing of large volumes at high production rates.
• It provides a significant lightweighting potential compared to incumbent solutions.
• It offers a press cure time of 8 minutes at 150°C, with higher temperature and shorter cycle time capability.
• It is available in a carefully selected range of formats and continuous fiber types, suitable for most demanding mechanical requirements.
• It is also designed for worst-case loading conditions, minimizing component thicknesses and optimizing enclosure volume for increased volumetric energy density or vehicle z-height.
• SolvaLite® 716FR is used in automotives and a wide range of structural parts & reinforcements in premium and super-premium battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
