German companies Pocan AF4130 have developed a highly flame retardant, shrink and warp-resistant compound for use in vehicle battery systems and photovoltaic plugs and sockets called Lanxess and Hella. The novel compound functions as housing material for two-cell monitoring units (CMU) and a battery management unit (BMU), and combines polybutylene terephthalate and acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile, is 30% glass fibres by weight, plus it has a halogen-based flame retardance package. Currently, the flat devise is part of a lithium-ion battery system for a German sports car.
