Aqueous Binder for Li-Ion Battery Cathode LA136
Premium Aqueous Binder LA136 — a water-based cathode binder engineered for lithium-ion battery electrode slurries. Designed for eco-friendly processing with excellent adhesion and rheology control, this binder supports uniform cathode coatings and improved electrode mechanical integrity in research, prototyping, and production environments.
Product Code: MT-MAT-2025
Product Overview
Matlabs Technologies’ Aqueous Binder LA136 is a high-performance water-based binder solution formulated for cathode electrode manufacturing in lithium-ion batteries. Unlike traditional solvent-based binders (e.g., PVDF/NMP systems), aqueous binders minimize hazardous solvent use, enabling safer, greener, and cost-effective electrode processing.
LA136 promotes strong mechanical adhesion between active cathode particles, conductive additives, and the current collector (typically aluminum foil), resulting in uniform cathode coatings, improved mechanical stability, and enhanced cycle performance. This makes LA136 ideal for use with cathode materials such as:
- LiFePO₄ (LFP)
- NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide)
- LMO (Lithium Manganese Oxide)
- High-nickel chemistries
Features & Benefits
• Eco-Friendly Water Processing – Eliminates toxic organic solvents and reduces production risk.
• Excellent Adhesion – Improves cohesion between active particles and conductive carbon.
• Optimized Slurry Rheology – Enables smooth, even coating quality.
• Simplified Drying Process – Reduces drying time and energy consumption.
• Stable Cathode Performance – Enhances electrode mechanical stability under cycling.
Typical Applications
- Cathode Electrode Slurries for Li-ion Batteries
- Water-Based Electrode Manufacturing Lines
- Battery R&D and Prototype Development
- Pilot and Small-Scale Production Facilities
- Eco-Conscious and Sustainable Battery Manufacturing
Usage & Handling
To prepare cathode slurries, LA136 aqueous binder is mixed with de-ionized water and combined with cathode active materials and conductive additives to achieve a homogeneous dispersion. Once the slurry is stable, it can be coated onto aluminum current collectors and dried to form durable electrode films.
Storage: Store in a sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Stir or agitate before use to ensure uniform dispersion.
