CAS No.: 1333-86-4
Core Advantages
Low sulfur, low soluble ion and low ash content, less side reactions and longer cycle life in electrochemical systems;
Fluffy powder with low grinding threshold, evenly dispersed by regular dispersing equipment;
Conductivity covers anti-static to medium-high level without surface specks on coating films;
Stable dispersion liquid can be prepared in both aqueous and solvent phases, matching battery & coating production lines.
Main Applications
Core Fields: Lithium battery electrode, fuel cell catalyst carrier
Compatible Fields: Conductive adhesive, conductive paper, anti-static coating for electronic parts, anti-static industrial paint, conductive modified plastic
Usage Notes
Low bulk density, slow down feeding speed to control dust scattering;
Ionic dispersant is required for battery slurry to avoid powder agglomeration & sedimentation;
Warehouse must be fully sealed & moisture-proof; water damages electrode cycle stability;
Carry out gradient loading test according to target resistivity; excessive addition weakens tensile & tear properties of rubber & plastic.
