Optimize battery cell electrode and separator binding

Our AkuPure™ electrode and separator binding solution is an ultra-pure carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) tailored for the stringent requirements of battery cell manufacturers. This is particularly suited for lithium-ion batteries such as those used in electric vehicles.

In lithium-ion battery applications, the fundamental properties of our CMC provide binder and separator reinforcement capabilities to optimize electrode aqueous binder system performance. It also acts as a slurry coating to reinforce the separator between the anode and cathode. This improves the electrode coating process which contributes to the ability of a battery to retain and deliver power more effectively, enabling more optimal performance.

Two lithium batteries for electric vehicles.

  • Performance enhancement as anode binder or for separator reinforcement
  • Low insoluble content to prevent filter clogging, improve production efficiency, and reduce coating defects
  • Consistent slurry stability and strong graphite dispersion
  • Faster binder dissolving properties to aid in anode production throughput and reduce bottlenecks
  • Bio-based cellulose to help lower product carbon footprint
  • Ultra-high purity (>99.5) with low trace metal content
  • Easily dispersible free-flowing powders to facilitate slurry manufacturing
  • High-coating quality from topnotch adhesion, typically in combination with Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
