Optimize electrode and separator binding system performance in lithium-ion batteries

A leading global manufacturer of CMC, we share our wealth of experience in developing premium CMC grades with battery cell producers. Our ultra-pure carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) delivers key functionalities critical in the battery cell material manufacturing process as an electrode and separator binding solution.

When used in lithium-ion battery anodes and separators, our high-performing CMC improves the slurry coating process which contributes to the ability of a battery to retain and deliver power more effectively and enables elevated battery performance.

Yielding benefits through its lower insoluble content, stable slurry and dispersion, and faster dissolving properties, our ultra-pure CMC is tailored for the stringent requirements of battery cell manufacturers.

The power of Eka^® HP in lithium-ion batteries

Eka^® HP (hydrogen peroxide) plays an important role in the process of refining and recycling the valuable metals used in lithium-ion batteries. It is used in hydrometallurgical processes for more efficient extraction and recovery when refining battery grade metals and cathode active materials. Our Eka^® HP also increases recycling efficiency of the metals from spent batteries by functioning as a reducing agent when leaching black mass of different battery chemistries.
