An integral part of the battery life cycle

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.

AkuPure™ NC ultra-pure CMC – versatile, efficient and high-performing

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.

Ketjenblack® - electroconductive carbon black specifically used for batteries and fuel cells

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

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.

Levasil® GB – colloidal silica for lead-acid batteries

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.

Levasil colloidal silica

Levasil GB1000

Levasil® GB1000 is an alkaline, aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica that is approximately 30% solids by weight. The product is sodium stabilized and the amorphous silica particles carry a negative surface charge. The silica particles are discrete, have a slightly uneven, spherical shape, and are present in a narrow particle size distribution. The physical appearance of the dispersion is a translucent liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Levasil® GB1000 is produced for world-wide distribution.

Levasil colloidal silica

Levasil GB3000

Levasil® GB3000 is an alkaline, aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica that is approximately 15% solids by weight. The silica dispersion is sodium stabilized and the amorphous silica particles carry a negative surface charge. The silica particles are structured to enhance the activity of the dispersion. The physical appearance of the dispersion is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Levasil® GB3000 is produced for world-wide distribution.
