Hanwha Advanced Materials Showcases Future Mobility Technologies at International Composite Materials Exhibition

Special Battery Pack Cases for Delaying Thermal Runaway Unveiled
"Actively Targeting the Global Composites Market Including Europe"

Hanwha Advanced Materials announced on the 5th that it will participate in the 'JEC WORLD 2025 International Composites Exhibition' held in Paris, France, showcasing the latest composite materials technology and components. JEC WORLD 2025 is the world's largest composites exhibition, with about 45,000 participants from over 1,350 companies across 50 countries, providing an opportunity to explore the latest technologies and global trends in the composite materials industry.

At this exhibition, Hanwha Advanced Materials will unveil various materials and components that simultaneously meet the core challenges of future mobility: lightweight and safety. Key exhibited products include Protection Covers that protect electric vehicle batteries and cooling systems, and Truck Beds optimized for pickup truck cargo spaces. All of these are made from Glass Mat Thermoplastic (GMT), a durable and lightweight glass fiber reinforced composite material, attracting attention in the electric vehicle and commercial vehicle markets.

Various special upper and lower cases for battery packs, designed to protect batteries from external impacts, will also be introduced. The Battery Pack Lower Tray, which has proven excellence by meeting compression, drop, and vibration durability performance, is a product that reduces the number of parts and achieves 20% weight reduction through an integrated design based on epoxy GF-SMC, a special composite material.

The Battery Pack Upper Case, combining thermosetting resin SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and metal, delays thermal runaway spread in case of internal battery fire and prevents malfunction of battery electronic circuits through electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. The Upper Case, applied with an aluminum composite panel, is noted for its safety design focused on securing evacuation time for passengers in the event of a fire.

In addition, Hanwha Advanced Materials will introduce various new products, including an innovative Seat Cross Member that protects passengers during side vehicle collisions and supports the battery case, applying Carbon Fiber and Glass Fiber. A company representative stated, "JEC World is an important opportunity to showcase Hanwha Advanced Materials' technological capabilities and vision for the global market," adding, "We will continue to play a leading role in the composite materials market with sustainable mobility solutions."
