In high performance battery systems, material consistency and formulation control are critical. Microthene^® F powders from LyondellBasell are engineered to support advanced binder applications in battery electrode design where uniform particle distribution and structural stability are required. This proprietary chemistry process is unique to Microthene^® F as the only additive on the market that consists of highly uniform and ultrafine spherical particles for precise binding applications in ever-evolving energy storage materials.

Benefits for Battery Binders

• Uniform Dispersion
  • The spherical and microfine consistent particle size supports an even distribution for electrode formulations by creating uniform binding properties for active materials.
• Optimized Ion Pathways
  • Reduced internal resistance within the electrode structure can support efficient charge transfer and conductivity that facilitates efficient electron and ion transport.
• Higher Energy Density Support
  • Smaller particle sizes enable tighter material packing, contributing to efficient use of available cell volume.
• Extended Cycle Stability
  • Uniform particle sizes promotes structural and mechanical stability of the electrode during the charge and discharge cycles
