Thermoplastic sheet solutions.
for safe, lightweight, and sustainable e-mobility.
Glass-fiber-reinforced, flame-retardant PP and PC sheets – customizable for use in battery systems and charging infrastructure
The e-mobility market presents manufacturers, suppliers, and processors with a range of new challenges: stricter safety standards for batteries, mounting cost-related pressures, lightweighting objectives, and a clear focus on sustainability.
SIMONA® PP/PC-GF-FR sheets have been developed specifically to meet these requirements. They combine the benefits of:
- outstanding mechanical performance,
- high fire resistance,
- low weight,
- thermoplastic processability,
- and recyclability.
As a thermoplastic glass-fiber-reinforced sheet solution with optional flame retardancy, they serve to bridge the gap between pure injection-molded products and traditional alternatives such as metal or thermosets. This makes SIMONA sheets the perfect choice for battery enclosures and battery cells in electric vehicles – such as passenger cars, trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery – as well as for housing and structural components in charging infrastructure.
PROCESS-STABLE AND REPRODUCIBLE.
FROM MANUFACTURING TO PROCESSING.
YOUR CHALLENGES.
OUR SOLUTIONS.
As an experienced supplier of glass-fiber-reinforced sheet products, SIMONA can draw on far-reaching expertise in materials, processes, and applications. From advanced sheet extrusion and application-driven material selection to technical advisory and development support, we accompany projects from initial concept to series production.
Key benefits of SIMONA sheet products:
- High mechanical rigidity and strength combined with low weight – contributing to increased range and efficiency
- High flame retardancy (UL 94 V-0) and electrical non-conductivity – for maximum safety in battery applications
- Thermoplastic recyclability with up to 30% internal regrind – to support ESG and CO₂ targets
- Future-proof and production-ready material selection – ideal for platform and modular strategies
Key benefits of SIMONA sheet products:
- Process-consistent, reproducible quality – thanks to controlled and stable sheet extrusion
- High thermal and dimensional stability – low shrinkage and minimal warping, even in the case of thin-walled geometries
- High degree of sheet flatness – for precision-fit assemblies and stable tolerance chains
- Cost efficiency across the entire life cycle – through thermoplastic processing, lightweight construction, and stable processes
Key benefits of SIMONA sheet products:
- Excellent flatness even in thin sheets – from approx. 1 mm, without warping
- Superb thermoformability – for complex geometries and component designs
- Wide range of machining options – e.g., deep drawing, milling, drilling, cutting
- Excellent process reliability and consistent quality – even across production runs
Fields of application
- Structural vehicle components, e.g., battery housings, battery covers
- Functional protective components and battery elements, e.g., end plates, separator modules, carriers
- Enclosures and structural components relating to charging infrastructure, such as stationary energy storage systems, distribution boxes
