Meta Description: Discover expert techniques for sealing PVC film in lithium battery packs. Learn best practices, common mistakes, and industry trends to ensure durability and safety.

Why Proper PVC Film Sealing Matters in Lithium Battery Production

Sealing PVC film is a critical step in manufacturing lithium battery packs. A flawless seal ensures moisture resistance, prevents electrolyte leakage, and enhances thermal stability. With the global lithium-ion battery market projected to reach $135 billion by 2031, manufacturers must adopt reliable sealing methods to meet growing demand.

Key Challenges in PVC Film Sealing

• Air bubbles forming during heat sealing
• Inconsistent temperature control
• Film degradation under high voltage
• Adhesion failures in humid environments

Step-by-Step Guide to Sealing PVC Film

1. Material Preparation

Use high-grade PVC films (≥0.2mm thickness) with additives like flame retardants. For example, EK SOLAR’s PVC films achieve 98% sealing success rates in extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C).

2. Thermal Welding Techniques

• Optimal Temperature: 160–180°C
• Pressure: 0.3–0.5 MPa
• Dwell Time: 8–12 seconds

“Preheating the sealing tools by 10°C above the target temperature ensures uniform heat distribution.” – Industry Expert

3. Post-Sealing Quality Checks

Test	Standard	Pass Rate
Leakage	≤0.01 mL/hr	99.2%
Peel Strength	≥15 N/cm	97.5%
Thermal Shock	-40°C ↔ 85°C	98.8%

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using low-cost films with ≤85% purity
• Ignoring ambient humidity (ideal: 30–50% RH)
• Skipping pre-sealing surface cleaning

Industry Trends Driving Innovation

The rise of solid-state batteries demands ultra-thin PVC films (0.1mm) with higher dielectric strength. Meanwhile, AI-driven sealing robots now achieve precision of ±0.05mm, reducing waste by 22%.

Case Study: EK SOLAR’s Breakthrough
