Automotive
As vehicle electrification accelerates, thermal management has moved from a performance consideration to a safety-critical requirement. Vulcan Shield Global supplies alumina fiber insulation solutions engineered for the heat, weight, and durability demands of modern automotive systems, from combustion engine components to high-voltage EV battery packs.
Applications
- EV Battery Pack Insulation
Alumina fiber insulation manages internal heat distribution within battery packs and limits fire propagation between cells during thermal runaway events, a critical safety function in lithium battery modules. - Catalytic Converter Support Mats
Alumina fiber mats secure and cushion the catalyst substrate in exhaust after-treatment systems, maintaining contact pressure across thermal cycles while resisting chemical exposure from exhaust gases. - Thermal Shields and Heat Barriers
Fiber composite thermal shields protect temperature-sensitive components from radiant and convective heat in both engine bays and EV underfloor systems. - EV Floor Protection
Alumina fiber floor mats slow the spread of open fire from the battery system to the passenger cabin, extending critical evacuation time in a thermal runaway scenario.
