A Small Component with a Powerful Impact

The next road to be explored in EV battery chemistry is the continuing journey towards improved performance. Faster charging. More range. Greater durability. Longer cycle life. Lighter weights. More energy efficiency. And while the challenges are big, part of the solution may be very small. Introducing VOLTABOND™ 060 water based latex binders from Trinseo. Composing less than 1% of the total weight of a Li-ion battery, latex binders are a small component with a big impact. Our VOLTABOND™ binders tie the anode active material, such as graphite and silicon together with the conductive additives onto the current collector. Beyond high adhesion when compared to conventional binders, the unique chemical structure enhances battery life by offering resistance to electrolyte dissolution, delivering constant performance across a wide temperature range. By improving electrical and ionic conductivity, structural integrity, and energy density, along with superior adhesion, and a stronger, more stable bond between electrode particles, we’re helping batteries last longer, charge faster, go farther and perform better. That’s a powerful combination.
