Freudenberg Sealing Technologies accompanies technological change in the industry. After all, the future will be driven ever faster by new drive forms. Thermal management and pressure management are currently important topics. The results are heat shields specially developed for lithium-ion battery systems, for example. When cells malfunction, they prevent the heat from “leaping over” to neighboring cells. DIAvent has proven itself as an intelligent pressure management solution for large batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles. The patented nonwovens they contain reliably ensure bidirectional pressure compensation even under extreme conditions. In order to generate energy effectively in fuel cell vehicles, we offer special sealing solutions for fuel cell stacks, for example.
