The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to develop high-temperature resistant coatings to improve the safe operation and fire protection for EV and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The overall goal is to develop next-generation intumescent solutions that are melamine and borate-free while maintaining or even exceeding fire resistance performance. These novel coating materials must provide:
- battery thermal runaway prevention for EVs
- protection against hydrogen embrittlement for hydrogen-powered vehicles
- effective performance at cryogenic temperatures
If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.
Interested Submissions Due by 9-10-24.
We encourage participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), including Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs).
