Lightweight plastic battery housing
Fraunhofer LBF covers the entire lightweight value chain – from design for recycling and polymer additivation to advanced testing and high-quality recycling. Its innovative plastic battery housing is 35% lighter than out of aluminum and enables second-life use in stationary storage. The holistic concept achieves CO₂ neutrality across the full lifecycle – smart, sustainable, and future-ready lightweight design.

With fluoropolymer bans looming, qualifying alternative plastics and recyclates for critical applications such as electrolysers is necessary. This requires testing under extreme conditions – acidic or alkaline environments, high pressure and temperature.With smart material selection and additives, plastics offer great adaptability.
Fraunhofer LBF combines both: state-of-the-art testing and materials expertise for customized solutions.
