Coatings enhance motors and generators while providing superior
performance and lower energy consumption
SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, introduces its Voltatex® family of
insulation coatings at the Coil Winding, Insulations & Electrical
Manufacturing Exhibition (CWIEME) in Shanghai June 23- 24, 2015.
Voltatex products have been tailor-made to enhance the performance,
reliability and durability of motors and generators in China to respond
to the increased demand for new electric cars and public transportation
vehicles in the market. Voltatex innovative impregnating resin solutions
will also be on display for use in the electromagnetic, insulation
materials, coil, electric motor and transformer manufacturing industries.
The Voltatex family of insulation products is comprised of wire enamels,
impregnating resins and core sheet varnishes for use in electric motors,
generators and transformers. Voltatex wire enamels are designed to
provide longer corona-resistant lifespan for variable frequency motors.
Voltatex impregnating resins aim to greatly increase partial discharge
inception voltage by increasing discharge frequency and reducing partial
discharge risks in motors, generators and transformers. Voltatex
self-bonding core sheet varnishes provide improved cohesiveness and
decay resistance, and create strong conductivity for new electric
automobile motors. As an international leader in modern insulation
materials, Axalta electrical insulation coatings have set a superior
quality standards with its Voltatex brand since its first oil-free
synthetic wire enamel in 1942.
“Axalta is focused on sustainability and helping our customers meet both
their commercial ambitions and their environmental goals. We have been
at the forefront of insulating material development for the electric
vehicle industry for a long time, and are very proud to be recognized by
global automotive manufacturers as the leading global supplier of
insulation materials to the electric motor transportation industry. We
are honored to introduce our full line of leading technologies and
solutions at CWIEME Shanghai 2015,” said Michael Cash, Senior Vice
President and President of Industrial Coatings at Axalta. “This year’s
show demonstrates the leadership role that China’s industrial customers
contribute to the electric motor industry, as well as the importance of
our customers to Axalta’s global strategy.”
In 2012, China’s State Council estimated that five million alternative
energy vehicles will be on China’s roads by 2020. The growth of
alternative energy vehicles means that motors now have to deliver on
more metrics including increased efficiency, improved weather and
vibration resistance, greater integration with the gearbox,
significantly greater environmental sustainability and all while
remaining ever more reliable for daily use. These advances increase the
demand for insulation materials used in motors. Axalta’s Voltatex is
engineered to increase an electric motor’s lifespan, improve the motor’s
efficiency and lessen the environmental impact. Axalta offers coating
systems, extensive experience, and strong technical expertise to enable
electric vehicle manufacturers to enter the market faster, more
effectively and sustainably.
Axalta companies have been present in China since 1984. This wealth of
