New additives improve CR1225 battery performance

The CR1225 battery market is rising rapidly due to the increased consumer demand for electric vehicles. Recently, Nouryon began to deliver the first batch of AkuPure™ a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) specifically for lithium batteries. AkuPure meets the ultra-high purity requirements of lithium batteries for raw materials (greater than 99.5%) and can be used to improve the production process of battery negative electrode coatings, improving battery efficiency by more effectively retaining and delivering electrical energy.

Geert-Jan Beijering, product director of Nouryon, pointed out: Customers in the CR1225 battery market want ultra-pure CMC. Impurities in CMC will affect the performance of the battery itself and production efficiency. Some of the characteristics of AkuPure are critical to the battery production process, such as fast dissolution and low insoluble content. The most important thing for customers in this field is the ability to charge and discharge frequently under various temperature conditions without losing performance.

Larry Ryan, executive vice president of Nouryon's high-performance solutions business, said: Our R&D team has worked hard to develop a version of AkuPure, and now is the right time to bring this technology to market. The market demand for lithium batteries continues to rise, and at the same time battery manufacturers are also working hard to find CMC that can meet the strict requirements of the industry, so we have launched a more advanced solution.

my country is one of the important drivers of the global electric vehicle market. The first batch of AkuPure products delivered by Nouryon are tailored for Chinese customers and will be supplied to the Chinese market in succession. We are honored that Nouryon's CMC can now contribute to the development of the electric vehicle industry, and look forward to Nouryon becoming a trusted supplier in the Chinese market. Geert-Jan Beijering further added.

The launch of AkuPure further broadens the terminal application market of Nouryon's CMC products. CMC is a sustainable derivative polymer derived from cellulose (such as wood or cotton). It is used as a thickener, binder and rheology modifier and is widely used in various fields such as mining and pharmaceuticals.

Recently, Nouryon also announced the acquisition of Huber Group's CMC business. Larry Ryan emphasized that this transaction will greatly expand Nouryon's CMC product range, highlighting our strategy of investing in attractive growth markets and our commitment to sustainable growth.
