Electric vehicle charging stations are critical infrastructure supporting the growth of electric vehicles, consisting
mainly of Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) types. AC charging stations are commonly used in
homes and commercial places, allowing users to slowlycharge their vehicles overnight or during work hours.
In contrast, DC fast charging stations are typically found at highway service areas or public charging plazas and
can quickly replenish a significant amount of electricity, meeting the rapid charging needs during long-distance travel.
Application 1:Charging pile panel bonding
Common materials for charging station panels include tempered glass, PC (polycarbonate), and acrylic.
These materials have their own characteristics but all require bonding solutions that can withstand the complex
outdoor environment, including temperature changes, UV radiation, and rain erosion.When selecting a panel
material for charging stations, it is necessary to consider the actual application scenario and cost budget.
The VHB™ tape solutions provided by 3M meet the bonding and maintenance needs of different material panels
under various climatic conditions. These tapes boast excellent adhesion, waterproof and dustproof performance,
high and lowtemperature resistance, UV resistance, and aging resistance,
ensuring the stability and safety of charging stations in outdoor environments.
Application 2: Screen and metal frame bonding
The bonding of screens to metal frames is also a crucial step in the assembly process of charging piles.
This part also requires quick bonding and good waterproof sealing after bonding to protect the internal devices.
Furthermore, screen bonding must have certain aging resistance to adapt to long-term outdoor placement 3M™ VHB™ ;
VHB™ tape also demonstrates its superiority in this application, suitable for bonding various surface
materials while ensuring structural stability and long-term waterproof performance.
Application 3: Outdoor Label Application
For outdoor label pasting on charging piles, its main function is for equipment identification and warnings.
These labels require the ability to withstand outdoor environments for long periods without falling off,
while keeping the printed information on the label's surface clear and legible.
To meet this need, 3M offers solutions for durable labels. These labels are high-performing and cost-effective,
suitable for long-term use in various harsh environments, and can clearly identify and warn users of charging piles,
enhancing the safety and usability of the equipment.
3M™ Based on a powerful material technology platform, combining various performance materials and adhesives,
we have developed label products with various excellent properties.
