TEXTURECEL™ 30000 PA is a high purity carboxymethyl cellulose powder that is used in lithium ion battery electrode production as a polymeric binder.
TEXTURECEL™ 30000 PA is a high molecular weight, water soluble, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) polymer. It is used in a variety of applications as a thickener, binder, and film former. TEXTURECEL™ 30000 PA is most often used in lithium ion battery production as a binder for the anode. It provides improved mechanical strength to the anode and reduces surface defects that impact charge and discharge to improve cycling. The high purity and water soluble nature of TEXTURECEL™ 30000 PA make it much more efficient and environmentally friendly than other binder used in electrode production like PVDF. TEXTURECEL™ 30000 is also used as a general purpose thickener for coatings, inks, and adhesives. As a thickener it provides a large increase in viscosity at a relatively low addition rate (typically less than 2%) and a pseudoplastic rheology. The shear thinning nature of coatings, inks, and adhesives thickened with TECTURECEL™ 30000 PA makes them easier to apply and improves the ability for the formulation to cling to vertical and overhead surfaces.
