Description

The product represented by this dataset is battery-grade polyester tape, featuring excellent electrical insulation, high tensile strength, dimensional stability, and low impurity content; Its upstream raw materials include PET base film and acrylate adhesive. Downstream, it is mainly used for bundling and securing lithium battery cells and providing surface insulation and protection. It is a key midstream auxiliary insulation material in the lithium battery pack supply chain; The dataset includes raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and wastes from production. Infrastructure such as equipment manufacture and factory construction is excluded from the dataset boundary; The data are derived from actual enterprise surveys.

Activity Description
Battery-grade polyester tape is produced from PET base film and acrylate adhesive in an enclosed workshop. Production includes raw material unwinding, continuous coating, hot-air drying and curing, cooling and setting, roll slitting, and finished product inspection.
Process Description
Battery-grade polyester tape offers excellent electrical insulation, high tensile strength, moderate temperature resistance, and impurity levels meeting lithium battery requirements; The product is supplied as film rolls and is mainly used for lithium battery wire harness bundling, cell insulation and fixation, and surface protection.
