has joined forces with Vietnamese electric motorcycle startup Selex Motors to develop battery pack covers produced with Duranex PBT. Playing a crucial role in EVs, battery covers provide safety and maintain the integrity of the battery pack. They are also key for the overall functionality and attractiveness of electric two-wheelers, which ultimately contribute to the success of the EV market. Selex chose Polyplastics’ advanced grade of Duranex PBT as it is specifically formulated and produced for this application to help the company improve the overall quality of its batteries.

Dyranex PBT features flame retardancy, low warpage, and heat and moisture resistance. It has been certified by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) with a V-0 rating, indicating its high flame retardancy. Furthermore, battery covers made with Duranex have exceeded the demanding requirements of the TCVN (Vietnam National Standard System) and stringent international standards. By integrating this PBT into its battery covers, Selex (which stands for Smart Electric Vehicles X, with the “X” signifying the future portfolio of electric vehicle models as well as the X factor) is setting a higher standard for performance and reliability, ultimately contributing to a greener, more efficient and safer EV future. Both companies say they adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring that battery covers meet strict quality benchmarks.
