Axim Mica, a US-based manufacturer and supplier of mica-based insulating materials, has announced that its advanced mica composites are designed to enhance EV safety.

Axim Mica has produced more than 150 million mica parts for the EV market since 2011. The company says its composite products address growing concerns surrounding thermal runaway in EV batteries.

Axim Mica’s phlogopite mica sheets provide high-temperature resistance and can be integrated into battery thermal management systems to help regulate battery temperature and minimize the risk of thermal runaway.

“Our advanced mica composites, capable of withstanding continuous temperatures up to 1,292° F (700° C), offer protection against thermal runaway. By integrating our high-quality mica sheets into battery insulation, we provide a crucial component in thermal management, significantly reducing the risk of catastrophic failures,” said Michael Smith, Sales Director at Axim Mica.
