Come explore what’s possible with 3M and Essex Brownell at Booth 822 at The Battery Show North America.

From slitting and die cutting to laminating, sheeting, kitting, and more, we can help take 3M materials beyond the roll and closer to the finished component.

On its own, 3M™ Polyester Film Electrical Tape 1350 Series provides reliable electrical insulation for a range of demanding applications. Through Essex Brownell’s in-house fabrication and conversion capabilities, we can transform it into custom, application-ready solutions that fit your production needs.

You probably expect to find magnet wire in an EV motor. But that’s not the only place it’s working behind the scenes.

Magnet wire can also be found in onboard chargers and DC-DC converters, helping move, convert, and manage electrical power throughout the vehicle.

Swipe through for a closer look at three places magnet wire helps keep an EV moving, charging, and powered.

Some people know marketing. Some people know people. Jennifer Braun knows both.

With more than two decades of marketing experience, our Director of Marketing has hit the ground running since joining Essex Brownell. Jennifer leads with collaboration and growth in mind, bringing people together, encouraging new ideas, and making sure our marketing continues moving forward with purpose.

She’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, a strong leader, and a pretty wonderful asset to have on our team (and I’m not just saying that because she’s my boss).

A roll of 3M tape might look simple, but where it ends up is anything but.

Our customers turn 3M tapes into solutions used across battery systems, electric vehicles, motors, transformers, power electronics, renewable energy equipment, and more. Depending on the tape, these materials can provide electrical insulation, thermal protection, abrasion resistance, flame retardancy, and other critical performance characteristics.

Learn more about the 3M solutions Essex Brownell carries by visiting booth 822 at The Battery Show North America.

In preparation for The Battery Show North America, our featured supplier partner and booth sponsor, 3M, treated our team to lunch and helped us get ready for the show.

After lunch, Andrew and Jeff from 3M led a training session for our Battery Show team, giving us a closer look at the products we’ll be featuring in Booth 822 and the solutions they bring to battery and energy applications.

Strong supplier partnerships give our team the knowledge and resources to better support our customers. We’re grateful to 3M for their continued partnership, their investment in our team, and their support as we head to The Battery Show.

We’re looking forward to showcasing what we can do together in Detroit!

A sheet of flexible insulation might not look like much. Inside data center electronics, it can become a lot of things.

Aramid papers, polyester and polyimide films, flexible laminates, and electrical tapes can be used for everything from circuit board and component insulation to barriers, wire and cable wrapping, and insulation within power supplies and other electronic assemblies.

And it doesn't have to stay a roll or sheet. We can slit, sheet, laminate, and die cut flexible insulation into the shapes and sizes an application actually needs.

Turns out, there's a lot hiding inside the electronics that keep a data center running.

Essex Brownell recently sponsored and participated in the Out of the Darkness Walk to support su***de prevention and mental health awareness.

It was an opportunity to come together, show support for those who have been impacted by su***de, honor lives lost, and help bring more attention to a conversation that matters every day of the year.

We’re proud of our team for showing up for each other and our community and helping remind others that no one has to walk alone.

From EVs and energy storage to solar and wind, electrical insulation plays an important role in the systems powering the future.

The 3M™ Polyester Film Electrical Tape 1350 Series offers a range of electrical tapes for a variety of applications, providing reliable electrical insulation with consistent, complete coverage. Its durable polyester backing provides high tensile strength and elongation for demanding electrical applications.

Within battery and energy storage systems, the 3M™ 1350 Series tape can support applications like cell can, cold plate, module housing and midplate insulation, pack retaining straps, power electronics busbar insulation, and thermal barriers.

And it doesn't have to work alone. The 3M™ 1350 Series tape pairs well with 3M™ Flame Barrier FRB-NT in many energy storage applications, bringing together electrical insulation and additional protection for thermal runaway in demanding battery environments.
