DRY IS THE NEW WET FOR BATTERY CELL CATHODE COATINGS
Solgain™ is a breakthrough dry coating process that improves the performance of battery cell cathodes while also making them more sustainable and cost efficient.
Combining a new generation PVDF polymer grade and patented technology, Solgain™ is the most advanced solution available to support battery makers and OEMs in accelerating the move to sustainable battery production.
This innovation builds on Syensqo’s historical expertise in advanced materials for e-mobility and our deep understanding of the market challenges in this area.
Solgain™: your best ally for eco-responsible e-mobility production
When compared to the wet manufacturing process, our SolgainTM technology offers superior performance and cost efficiency, with a specific focus on reducing environmental impact. Advantages include:
- No NMP solvent use and recycling
- No need for a drying unit
- A simpler and shorter process
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced Capex and Opex
- A positive global environmental impact
Prepare the next generation of batteries with Solgain™
The continuous dry process used in Solgain™ enables us to combine NMC powder with plasticizer and Syensqo’s PVDF. This technology offers considerable advantages in terms of performance and battery manufacturing process simplification.
At the core of the process, our brand new Solef(R) PVDF grade has been specifically designed to maximize electrolyte encapsulation, enabling the creation of dense, homogenous, very well dispersed and highly-loaded cathodes.
Why Solgain™ should be your partner of choice
SolgainTM not only ensures advanced battery performance, it also makes your life simpler by:
- Enabling you to set up a lean and effective process with lower Capex and Opex
- Removing the premix and impregnation steps from your process
- Improving your sustainability performance by lowering your CO2 footprint
- Allowing you to shape your electrodes without fibrillating, ensuring improved quality and reliability
- Giving you the opportunity to choose your cathode type: by extrusion or by calendering
