Energy Generation & Storage

Future-Ready Solutions for Electrification and Beyond 

As the world embraces electrification, innovation in surface treatment and functional coatings plays a critical role in enabling this transformation towards more sustainability. Chemetall provides cutting-edge solutions to meet the evolving demands of energy generation and storage applications. 

The growing demand for more sustainable alternatives, driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions, has intensified the focus on electrification and advanced battery design. Chemetall plays a key role in supporting this shift by providing durable and more sustainable surface treatment solutions for a variety of applications, such as copper foil (anode) passivation, lithium-ion prismatic or cylindrical cell can forming, or dielectric coatings for the electrical insulation of battery pack components, cooling plates or cell casings. Furthermore, our solutions provide excellent corrosion protection for steel and aluminum battery enclosures, Energy Storage System (ESS) containers, wind turbines, electric motors, charging station enclosures and many more applications. 

Our surface treatment technologies are customized to specific applications and seamlessly integrate into customers’ operational processes to enhance productivity. As electrification advances, the complexity of lightweight material combinations poses challenges for adhesion processes, while powertrain electrification demands new solutions beyond corrosion protection. Chemetall addresses these needs with innovative, more environmentally friendly, and sustainable processes that reduce the carbon footprint of electric vehicles and lower total costs of ownership. 

Energy generation and storage applications require specialized surface treatment solutions for superior protection. In close collaboration with our customers, we deliver more sustainable and financial value through our extensive innovation and process expertise. Acting as a full-solution provider, we streamline processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide customer-centric solutions that meet evolving industry needs. 

For over 130 years, Chemetall has been a pioneer in surface treatment, consistently delivering high-performance solutions built on a legacy of innovation and quality. With our proven expertise, we are uniquely positioned to address current and future challenges, offering efficient and effective solutions for energy generation and storage applications.
