LIGHTWEIGHTING
Applications: In pursuit of lighter vehicles and improved fuel efficiency, our foam serves as a lightweight alternative to solid, high-density components. This foam technology reduces overall weight without compromising strength or performance, helping manufacturers meet stringent weight reduction targets.
Case Study: Battery Box Fillers
Challenge: Non-modular electric vehicle batteries require high-density potting material to cover the cells and prevent moisture contamination. However, the potting material is both heavy and costly, impacting overall vehicle weight and production expenses.
Solution: Eagle Industries identified a specialized foam system that could be used to create offset fillers within the battery box, specifically in areas where potting material wasn’t necessary. By strategically placing foam fillers, the overall volume of potting material required was significantly reduced.
Outcome: This solution effectively decreased both the weight and cost of the battery system, contributing to improved vehicle efficiency without compromising the protective qualities of the potting material.
