Why PDCPD for EV Battery Enclosures

Engineered for thermal safety, weight reduction & design flexibility

πŸ”₯ Flame Retardant

UL94 HB and V-0 grades available. Self-extinguishing formulations. Critical for battery thermal runaway containment.

⚑ 40% Lighter Than Steel

Density 1.03 g/cmΒ³. Every kg saved = more range. PDCPD enclosures reduce pack weight by 8–12 kg vs steel cases.

πŸ›‘οΈ IP67 Rated

Integrated sealing grooves for gaskets. Dust-tight, waterproof to 1m depth. No secondary sealing operations needed.

🌑️ Thermal Stability

HDT 95–110Β°C. Service range βˆ’60 to 205Β°C. Withstands under-hood and battery pack operating temperatures.

πŸ’° Low Tooling Cost

60–80% cheaper than aluminum die-casting tooling. Viable from 50 pcs. Fast iteration for new EV platforms.

πŸ”§ Integrated Features

Cooling channel inserts, busbar mounts, BMS bracket bosses β€” all molded in. No welding, no machining, no assembly.

Technical Specifications

Tested per GB/T, ISO, and UL standards. Full dimensional report with every batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from EV engineers

How does PDCPD compare to aluminum die-casting for battery cases? +

PDCPD is 40% lighter than aluminum (1.03 vs 2.7 g/cmΒ³), costs 60–80% less in tooling, and offers better impact absorption. Aluminum wins on thermal conductivity and very high-volume production (>10,000 pcs/year). For low-to-mid volume EV programs, PDCPD is the smarter choice.

What flame-retardant grades do you offer? +

We offer UL94 HB as standard and UL94 V-0 on request. Both use halogen-free flame retardants. Self-extinguishing time <10s for V-0 grade. Full UL test reports available upon request.

Can you achieve IP67 sealing with PDCPD? +

Yes. We mold integrated sealing grooves for EPDM or silicone gaskets. Every enclosure is water-tightness tested before shipment. IP67 (1m water immersion for 30 min) is our standard rating with proper gasket installation.

Can you integrate cooling channels into the enclosure? +

Yes. We can mold in cooling plate inserts (aluminum or copper) and create internal channels for liquid cooling. The low-pressure RIM process won't damage delicate inserts. We also offer thermal interface material application.

What's the lead time for a 500-unit battery case run? +

Approximately 30 days including aluminum mold fabrication and first-article approval. For repeat orders with approved molds, batches ship in 18–25 days from order confirmation. Steel molds for 1,000+ units take 4–6 weeks but enable faster cycle times.

Do your enclosures meet automotive certifications? +

Our process is ISO 9001:2015 certified. PDCPD material meets REACH and RoHS compliance. For automotive qualification (IATF 16949), we can work within your PPAP process and provide full material traceability documentation.

Do you sign NDA and protect our EV IP? +

Yes. We routinely sign mutual NDAs before receiving battery pack designs. Your EV architectures remain your property β€” we never reuse or resell custom mold designs. Mold ownership transfers to you upon project completion.
