ELANTAS Beck India Ltd., provider of electrical insulation and electronic protection solutions, is strengthening its specialty chemicals capabilities for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications. The company aims to support the growing requirements of India’s energy storage ecosystem as battery storage deployment expands.
Supporting India’s Growing BESS Ecosystem
ELANTAS is strengthening its engagement with BESS manufacturers, component suppliers and OEMs by combining material technologies, local application expertise and customer-focused development support. The company is also supporting critical energy-storage subsystems with selected locally manufactured materials, complemented by access to ELANTAS’ global technology portfolio and application expertise. Meanwhile, the expansion of renewable energy, rising demand for grid flexibility and the need for reliable backup power are increasing the importance of battery energy storage in India.
Specialty Materials for BESS Applications
As BESS manufacturing becomes increasingly localised, manufacturers also need greater access to specialised materials within India. These materials must help manage heat, protect sensitive electronics and provide reliable bonding, insulation and environmental protection throughout the system’s operating life. To address these requirements, ELANTAS draws on decades of experience in specialty chemicals for demanding electrical and electronic applications.
Its BESS material portfolio includes:
Thermally conductive adhesives
Thermal interface materials
Conformal coatings
Potting and encapsulation materials
These solutions can support applications across battery modules, battery management systems (BMS), power conversion systems, inverters, energy management electronics and cooling systems.
Focus on Thermal Management and Electronics Protection
Together, these specialty materials address several critical BESS requirements. They support thermal management and heat transfer, while also protecting electronic components from environmental conditions. In addition, ELANTAS’ solutions provide electrical insulation, bonding and encapsulation, helping manufacturers address multiple material requirements across BESS subsystems.
Building Local BESS Capabilities
According to Anurag Roy, Managing Director, ELANTAS Beck India Ltd., the company is applying its established chemistry expertise to emerging applications such as BESS. The company combines its R&D capabilities, application expertise and customer collaboration to develop solutions for evolving performance requirements while supporting greater localisation of critical materials and capabilities.
Expanding Specialty Chemicals Applications
The company’s BESS focus forms part of its broader strategy to build on its established expertise in electrical insulation while expanding into electronics protection, thermal management, bonding and other specialty-material applications. As per the press release, as industrial and energy systems become increasingly technology-intensive, ELANTAS continues to apply its chemistry and application expertise to emerging requirements. Consequently, the company aims to combine proven material technologies with evolving market needs and support the development of advanced manufacturing capabilities in India.
