Having teamed up with Rogers’ Corporation and their range of  PORON® polyurethanes and BISCO® silicone materials, CB Frost have entered the fast growing electric vehicles market, manufacturing and supplying a range of EV battery components, including battery compression pads and cushions, anti-vibration pads, enclosure seals, thermal runaway protection and impact protection pads.

In order to network with other organisations within the EV and HEV market and to grow our knowledge of battery technology, we have committed to several Electric vehicle and battery technology trade shows this year and we recently had the opportunity to attend the Battery Tech Expo at Silverstone, Northamptonshire.

Battery Tech Expo 2022

Battery Tech Expo is an annual event that brings together the most up to date technologies and services related to battery technology, from battery storage and battery management systems, to lithium ion batteries and EV/HEV batteries, with the aim of exploring the innovation driving the battery supply chain.

This event provided an excellent opportunity for us to learn more about the latest battery technology, how batteries are manufactured, how they are stored and how they are used in a wide variety of applications, including electric vehicles.

As well as a learning experience, the Battery Tech expo also allowed us to network with a wide range of other organisations within the battery supply chain. CB Frost Business Development Manager Daniel Brock commented:

“The Battery Tech Expo at Silverstone was a great experience. As well as exploring the full scope of battery technology innovations, we had the opportunity to discuss our own range of materials and manufacturing capabilities.

“We are very happy to have picked up 10 new prospects at the expo and even received an order whilst on site!”

Battery Cell and Systems Expo and Vehicle Electrification Expo, NEC, Birmingham, 29-30 June 2022

On the 29-30th June, CB Frost will have the opportunity to attend the Battery Cell and Systems Expo and the Vehicle Electrification Expo, both of which will be held at the NEC, Birmingham.

The Battery Cell and Systems Expo is the UK’s largest ever battery technology exhibition and conference, bringing together representatives from the entire battery manufacturing supply chain. As well as providing the chance to learn from world class speakers, companies from around the world will be using the show to demonstrate and launch their products, showcasing innovative new technologies.

Alongside the Battery Cell and Systems Expo is the Vehicle Electrification Expo, which will bring together the entire electric vehicles supply chain and present the latest technologies in EV/HEV batteries, along with solutions to improve electric vehicle performance, safety, efficiency and sustainability. 

CB Frost Sales Director Mark Jones, and Business Development Manager Daniel Brock will both be at the NEC, taking the opportunity to learn more about emerging technologies within the electric vehicle and EV/HEV battery industries, as well as introducing our range of high performance materials for EV battery applications, including:

  • PORON® Polyurethane
  • EVExtend Polyurethane
  • HT800 Silicone Foam
  • BF1000 Silicone Foam
  • BF2000 Silicone Foam
  • ProCell Aluminium Foil
