Freudenberg's new busbar seals handle the bends

As EV battery designs continue to explore new pack shapes, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a new, flexible busbar sealing technology that enables media-tight over-molding and works with rectangular and round busbars. The company is displaying the new sealant alongside new DIAvent components and a few other new-ish products at The Battery Show in October in Detroit, Michigan, highlighting the company's commitment to developing new technologies for high-performance EVs.

Freudenberg designed its new sealant to protect electronics from oil coolant leakage in both low- and high-voltage applications, and to withstand temperatures between −40 and +200°C (−40 and +392°F). It's also more leak-resistant and easier to assemble than traditional sealants.
