PRODUCT NEWS
Axalta recently announced that it has entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire the Shanghai-based producer of wire enamels
used in the manufacture of electric vehicles, industrial and
consumer electronics. The amount of the deal was not disclosed
but it is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021.
" Anhui Shengran's wire enamel products and capabilities are
highly complementary to our growing Energy Solutions business, "
said Shelley Bausch, senior vice president of Global Industrial
Coatings at Axalta. " This will be a solid platform for further specialization
and growth as we support key customers in China. "
Axalta's Voltatex 4224 impregnating resin won a prestigious Gold
Edison Award in the Materials Science and Engineering category
in 2020. " At Axalta, innovation is in our DNA and
we are extremely proud to receive the Gold Edison
Award for our industry-leading Voltatex 4224 product, "
said Robert Roop, chief technology officer for
the company.
" Voltatex 4224 enables both higher motor efficiency
and reduced size and weight of electric devices, " said
Roop. " This significantly increases performance by
conducting thermal energy as quickly as possible,
while keeping the motor temperature low, which is
important for use in high-performance electric motors
such as those in electric vehicles, trains and windmills. "
The product can reduce the weight of electrical motors
by more than 15%, says Axalta. Running motors
at lower temperatures can increase motor lifetime
and downsizing motors allows for reduction of materials,
both leading to sustainability benefits, it notes.

They are extremely small in relation to their current capacity and
meet high requirements increasingly found in industrial applications
such as drives, the company says. They are available in
three sizes with current handling capacities between 10 A and 17
A, and with a rated voltage of 250 V AC (50/60 Hz). Depending on
the type, the inductance value is between 1.0 mH and 6.25 mH.
Their dimensions are 33 x 23 x 30 mm and 39 x 23 x 37 mm. Due
to the leakage inductance of around 0.4%, the RoHS-compatible
chokes also suppress symmetrical interferences.
