Supporting the development of emerging technologies in Energy Storage
We leverage our extensive product catalog and over 60 years of development expertise to provide innovative solutions that address the evolving challenges in energy storage, transmission, and distribution. Our products serve a wide range of challenging applications, from battery enclosures in highly corrosive environments to the dielectric challenges of transformers in up-tower, submerged, or marine settings.
Whether supplying long-established coatings, adhesives or encapsulants to legacy High-Voltage Transmission and Distribution, or developing novel products for emerging Energy Storage technologies, our core strength is collaborating with our customers. From the initial concept and prototyping to full-scale production, we partner with you to deliver innovative products well-suited to your specific application. As our electricity infrastructure continues to evolve, we remain committed to meeting the emerging needs.
Transmission⚡Distribution
Our long history of developing products for large industrial motors and generators has led to the cross-qualification of Astro products for use in high-voltage transmission and distribution.
The electricity grid presents a wide range of challenging applications. Our product portfolio includes coatings, adhesives, saturants, and encapsulants with a proven track record of successful use. From saturants and smoothing compounds used to manufacture transformers to adhesives and potting resins for high voltage bushings, as well as a variety of encapsulants for insulating grid connections, we can help.
Frequently used products include:
- Semi-Conductive Coatings to dissipate static and partial discharge;
- Saturant Resins to bond laminations and dampen vibrations;
- Smoothing Putties and repair kits for bushings and insulators;
- Conductive Coatings to prevent electrical transmission interference.
Batteries⚡Energy Storage
Grid-scale energy storage encompasses a variety of battery designs each with unique engineering challenges. While the designs may be novel, the application challenges are familiar. Our portfolio addresses issues related to voltage, high temperatures, and chemically aggressive environments.
From development to implementation, we support you at every stage — from early prototyping and proof of concept to full-scale manufacturing. Let Astro be your materials expert, providing tailored products that fit your demanding applications so you can take your concept to market faster.
Frequently used products include:
