Asahi Kasei Advance America, Inc. will exhibit at the Battery Show North America and Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo (Oct 7-10, 2024) in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Our booth will be located in Huntington Place (Exhibit Hall A-C) at #3807.

At this year’s show, Asahi Kasei will showcase an array of innovative products for EV battery and electric vehicles to enhance your current offerings and provide tailored solutions to your needs that include:
LASTAN™ TS series (Nonwoven Fabric for EV Battery Thermal Runaway Protection):
We will be showcasing our new material, the LASTAN™ TS Series, which features flame resistance and blast resistance and will be available starting this fall. This product is an enhancement of the standard grade LASTAN™, made from special acrylic fibers, with the addition of a unique flame retardant. While retaining the strengths of the original product, such as a high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and excellent processability, it has been upgraded to improve its flame resistance and blast resistance. The material, produced by calcining the special acrylic fibers at 200-300°C in air, is a non-mineral-based material that has garnered attention for its outstanding flame resistance, blast resistance, and insulation properties, as well as its superior heat resistance and processability. We will be presenting physical samples and providing technical explanations by expert staff at the show.
This product has been selected for the Product Showcase at The Battery Show, and we will be conducting a live demonstration at the Asahi Kasei booth on Wednesday, October 9th, at 11:30 AM.
