ShanghaiMay 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From May 13 to 15, 2026, tesa showcased its systematic adhesive tape solutions at the 18th China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2026), focusing on applications for new energy vehicle power batteries. The company also engaged with industry partners in discussions on key trends in battery technology iteration.
At this year’s CIBF, tesa highlighted its adhesive tape solutions covering the entire lifecycle of power batteries. These solutions are widely applied in battery packs, modules, and cell structures, encompassing critical areas such as cell fixation, insulation, fire protection, sealing, thermal management, functional component fixation, and information labeling. They support the comprehensive needs of power batteries in enhancing safety, reliability, and production efficiency. Leveraging long-term research into new energy vehicle battery structures and adhesive technologies, tesa offers a diverse range of materials and adhesive combinations tailored to different design approaches and solutions for power battery manufacturing.
Among the highlights, the battery passport and high-strength blue film were two key applications showcased by tesa.
In response to upcoming regulatory requirements for battery passports, tesa presented adhesive tape and labeling solutions that serve as physical carriers for battery passports, supporting digital management throughout the battery lifecycle. By integrating digital identifiers such as QR codes on products, these solutions store and access critical information during battery manufacturing, use, maintenance, and recycling, enhancing transparency and traceability across the entire lifecycle. Additionally, leveraging the material and process characteristics of laser labels, these solutions can help customers achieve anti-counterfeiting and tamper-proof functions, ensuring compliance while providing greater assurance for battery product safety management and sustainable development.
At the battery structure level, the high-strength blue film, with its excellent electrical insulation properties and high shear strength, offers a new material choice for next-generation battery structure designs such as CTP (Cell to Pack). It supports a balance between lightweight design, high energy density, and safety.
Beyond mature applications, tesa also highlighted its exploration of innovative directions such as Debonding on Demand and solid-state batteries at the exhibition. The Debonding on Demand technology offers a new approach for controlled separation during battery repair, rework, and recycling, contributing to improved resource utilization efficiency.
In the field of solid-state batteries, as new material systems and manufacturing processes continue to evolve, batteries face new challenges in areas such as interface stability, mechanical compatibility, and safety. As a material carrier combining structural, functional, and process attributes, adhesive tape plays an increasingly important role in cell insulation, protection, fixation, and automated assembly. Addressing the comprehensive requirements of solid-state batteries for material compatibility, temperature resistance, and mechanical performance, tesa is exploring corresponding adhesive tape solutions. These aim to provide reliable functional carriers for solving key issues in solid-state batteries, while using the exhibition platform to discuss potential pathways for technology implementation with industry chain partners.
Sun Minbo, Head of tesa’s Automotive Business Unit in Greater China, stated: “At tesa, product innovation for power battery adhesive tapes is always closely aligned with customer needs, focusing on key goals such as performance enhancement, safety assurance, and lifecycle management. We are committed to providing cost-effective solutions and working with industry chain partners to drive the practical application of technologies.”
