Batteries - Longer-life, higher-performance
We provide resourceful solutions throughout the life cycle of battery production – predominantly during mining, refining, cell material manufacturing, and recycling. Read on to find out how our chemistry expertise can help you improve the performance of your batteries.
Our AkuPureTM NC ultra-pure carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) delivers the critical functionalities needed during the manufacture of lithium-ion battery cell materials.
In lithium-ion battery anodes and separators, AkuPureTM NC ultra-pure CMC offers many benefits such as improving the quality of slurry coatings and reducing the risk of line defects, among others. This contributes to more effective power retention and delivery, enabling efficient battery performance.

Our Ketjenblack® electroconductive blacks are used in a wide range of applications like conductive flooring, medium and high-voltage cables, and electrostatic paintable plastics including automotive parts
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.
Levasil® colloidal silica is an extremely cost-efficient and easy-to-use option for gelling sulfuric acid to obtain a solid electrolyte (gel cell) in valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries and for reducing the acid stratification in absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries.
Gelling is the process by which a liquid becomes viscous and eventually a solid. With our Levasil® GB product portfolio we can offer consistent quality together with low levels of impurities and chlorides. Vital for high performance batteries that last longer.
