Solutions by Application
Electrochemical Performance & Safety
- VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates – effective building blocks in polymeric solutions for lithium‑ion batteries, enhancing both charging speed and overall performance.
Structural Integrity & Adhesives
- ALBIDUR® – Epoxy toughener for impact resistance in battery housings. ALBIDUR® EP 5340 A is a 40 % dispersion of a high-performance elastomer in a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin.
- ALBIFLEX® – Flexibilizer for epoxy systems, improving fatigue resistance under dynamic loads. ALBIFLEX® 1166 is an aliphatic urethane diacrylate resin for high-performance elastomers.
- ALBIPOX® – Epoxy resin systems designed for demanding structural applications in EV battery packs. ALBIPOX® 1000 and 3001 are elastomer-modified epoxy resins used to toughen brittle epoxy resins.
- POLYVEST® – Liquid polybutadiene for gap fillers and potting compounds, support electrical insulation and durability. Available hydroxyl-terminated, maleic anhydride-functionalized and as silane-modified poly-alpha-olefin.
- VESTOPLAST® – Poly-alpha-olefins that offer fixation and bonding in various parts of the Lithium-ion battery like e.g. electrode and separator fixation and insulation.
Catalysis
Thermal Management and Electrical Insulation
- VISCOBASE® – Advanced fluids for dielectric thermal management with heat transfer efficiency with excellent thermal conductivity and low viscosity, combined with low volatility and broad compatibility with essential battery components. VISCOBASE® Thermal Management Fluids are designed for high cooling performance in data centers and e-mobility batteries.
- VESTAMID® – Polyamide-based solutions for insulating power cables, busbars and battery cooling and heating lines.
Battery Recycling
HYPROX® - Once batteries have reached the end of their lifecycle, hydrogen peroxide is used in the recovery of valuable metals through a process known as “wet hydrometallurgy”. It can oxidize or reduce metals such as cobalt, manganese, nickel, lithium and iron.
Persulfates – Ammonium and potassium persulfate are used in oxidative leaching of lithium from the cathode powder under defined process conditions.
Materials Across the Battery Lifecycle
Our portfolio covers structural bonding and potting in battery production as well as oxidizing chemistries for the recovery of valuable metals at end of life.
