Technical Fibre Products will host a seminar on June 29th at 2 pm (EST) on fire protection and EMI shielding using nonwovens and other composites. The webinar will focus on how our nonwovens can provide the required EMI shielding and fire protection to composite battery enclosures for electric vehicles. It is free to view on the Composites World website both during and after the event.
The central themes of the event include:
• TFP’s nonwovens, their application in and advantages for advanced composites.
• Using nonwovens in battery box constructions to meet key FST requirements, provide EMI shielding, and enhance surface finish.
• How TFP’s nonwovens can be incorporated directly into a composite structure using traditional fabrication methods, reducing the need for additional processing.
• Specific data and examples demonstrating the effective use of advanced nonwovens in relevant applications.
Using composites presents several challenges compared to the traditional metal enclosures; the lightweight structure must still meet the necessary fire, smoke, and toxic fume (FST) requirements while also providing shielding to electromagnetic interference (EMI). TFP’s nonwovens provide the solution for this. In the webinar, Neil Gray and Mike Campbell will discuss how our materials can easily be incorporated directly into the composite battery box structure to provide the required FST and EMI shielding functionality.
The presenters are:
Neil Gray is TFP’s business development manager. He has a degree in chemistry and an MBA. Neil has 25 years of experience in the composites industry, in both commercial and technology management.
He has held a range of R&D and business development management roles, with a key focus on FST fume performance systems.
Mike Campbell is TFP’s technical sales representative in the United States covering the automotive and consumer electronics market spaces. He has a degree in engineering. Mike was a panelist at “The Battery Show” in 2020 discussing the use of composites in the automotive space.
He has collaborated with industry professionals to bring TFP’s EMI shielding technology to market.
