Task

ChargeX Aqueduct – electrifying mobility 

Committed to revolutionizing e-mobility, Munich-based ChargeX develops innovative software and hardware for charging infrastructure at commercial properties and multi-family homes, ChargeX's core product, the Aqueduct charging system, redefines the design, installation, and use of charging points. Apart from its modular design with plug-and-play connectors, Aqueduct’s housing – the largest structural element – must meet the highest quality standards, with particular focus on the front glass.

Challenge

Combining aesthetics, functionality and durability

The front glass of the Aqueduct wallbox front glass should be both sleek and functional. Production must seamlessly integrate key features like a display and lighting, while minimizing steps to enable efficient and cost-optimized manufacturing of the glass. To ensure long-term durability and a high-quality finish, the surface must also be scratch, UV and weather resistant. Finally, the design of the charging stations must be adaptable to different product variants, ideally with minimum modifications to reduce costs.

Solution

Makrofol® SR906 – printable, functional, customizable

Our polycarbonate (PC) film Makrofol® SR906 offers excellent printability, formability, and impact and weather-resistance. Thanks to its UV protection and scratch resistance, the acrylic cap layer enhances outdoor performance, while the high-gloss, transparent finish provides a sleek look. 

The backmolding of the film is carried out using Makrolon®, a high-performance polycarbonate resin. Makrolon® PC resins are well-established materials for EV charger / wallbox housings and components and can be ideally combined with Makrofol® films in film insert molding (FIM).

ChargeX products thus not only impress with advanced functionalities but also boast a seamless, appealing design. 

We are delighted with Covestro’s top-quality materials and support. The front glass has enhanced the durability and aesthetics of our housing, meeting the highest standards for design and functionality. Our collaboration has allowed us to deliver a product that excels in usability and performance.
