Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (MOTHERSON) announced a collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to advance Spinheat, a magnetic induction technology that can cure industrial coatings in minutes, using significantly less energy than conventional oven-based methods. This partnership aims to industrialize the technology for real-world applications, including resin coatings across automotive and aerospace components. Developed by NTU researchers, Spinheat uses magnetic nanoparticles embedded in coating materials such as adhesives and resins. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the particles generate heat directly within the coating, curing it faster and without heating the entire component. This can also potentially help reduce energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. Early lab results show the approach can match the bonding strength of conventional 24-hour oven curing in about an hour. The collaboration will combine NTU’s expertise in magnetic materials and polymer science with Motherson’s manufacturing and engineering capabilities in both automotive and non-automotive industries. This combination aims to develop the technology for real-world production, including coating applications across automotive and aerospace components.

Innovation at the Core

Dhruv Mehra, Director, Motherson Singapore, said: ‘Innovation is at the core of how Motherson builds for the future. Partnering with NTU Singapore & using Motherson’s proprietary SVAG E3 methodology, we are excited to bring cutting-edge material science into real manufacturing environments and explore possibilities that can make our processes faster, cleaner, and more efficient. This collaboration underlines our commitment to invest in foundational R&D, strengthening long-term value creation and supporting sustainable manufacturing.’

A Step Towards Sustainable Manufacturing

Assoc Prof Terry Steele, NTU School of Materials Science and Engineering, said: “The first generation of our technology showed that we could use magnetic nanoparticles for directed energy materials curing, unlike conventional oven heating. The next challenge is to understand how this can work reliably within automotive manufacturing. Working with Motherson will give us the advantage and opportunity to develop Spinheat around real industrial needs, the actual materials, component geometries and production requirements.” Prof. Raju V. Ramanujan, NTU School of Materials Science and Engineering, said: “The development of Spinheat technology for industrial applications is the next logical step to demonstrate its numerous advantages. Our collaboration with Motherson to study the use of Spinheat for demanding automotive and aerospace applications can be a game changer, given the urgent need to reinvent and reimagine manufacturing.”

This collaboration signifies a significant step towards sustainable and efficient manufacturing processes, potentially revolutionizing the way industrial coatings are cured in the automotive and aerospace industries.
