Q: What Makes AlkeGel Aerogel a Breakthrough in EV Battery Safety?
AlkeGel, Alkegen’s next-generation fiber-aerogel composite, is engineered to set new benchmarks for safety. Unlike traditional insulations, this material is ultra-thin—offering maximum space efficiency in today’s compact battery designs. It dramatically reduces dust, making for easier, safer manufacturing and installation.
It allows OEMs to design battery packs with new levels of flexibility, cutting down on complexity and cost. AlkeGel’s proprietary formula provides superior thermal runaway protection—a critical line of defense against potentially dangerous battery fires.
With the integration of aerogels, Alkegen adds a new dimension to its proven portfolio of cell spacers, wraps, and thermal barriers. OEMs can now mix and match solutions for custom performance—unlocking the creativity needed for next-gen electric vehicles.
How Does Alkegen’s Solution Address the Needs of Automakers?
Global automakers have long sought partners who can deliver not only cutting-edge materials but also the scale to meet surging demand. Alkegen answers this call with a North American manufacturing base now producing AlkeGel at commercial volume.
This means carmakers no longer have to depend on a single region or supplier for mission-critical battery fire protection. AlkeGel’s ease of integration slashes development times and supports designs for both high-end and mass-market EVs.
