Product Overview

Matlabs Technologies’ PVDF Binder (Solvay 5130) is an ultra-high viscosity, high-performance fluoropolymer binder designed specifically for lithium-ion battery electrode applications. As a key component of electrode slurries, PVDF promotes strong cohesion between active materials and conductive additives, as well as adhesion to current collectors.

PVDF 5130 is a modified, high-molecular-weight grade that delivers:

  • Consistent slurry behavior and coating performance
  • Enhanced mechanical strength and thermal tolerance
  • Excellent chemical resistance against electrolyte solvents and salts
  • Stable electrical insulation characteristics contributing to battery reliability

These properties make it ideal for both anode and cathode binder systems used in research, prototype development, and scalable production.

Features & Benefits

Superior Adhesion & Cohesion — High viscosity PVDF promotes strong bonding with active particles and conductive carbon.
Thermally Stable — Remains reliable at elevated processing and operating temperatures.
Chemical Resistance — Stable against common electrolyte solvents (e.g., N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone).
High Purity & Low Moisture — Reduces side reactions for cleaner electrochemical performance.
High Electrical Insulation — Excellent surface and volume resistivity support safe electrode operation.

Applications
  • Lithium-Ion Battery Electrode Slurries — Binder for cathode and anode formulations in Li-ion cells.
  • Battery R&D & Prototyping — Suitable for laboratory development of next-gen cells.
  • Pilot & Small-Scale Production — Enables consistent coating and drying behavior in pilot lines.
  • High-Performance Energy Storage Systems — Applied in cells requiring tight property control.
Usage & Handling

PVDF binders are typically dissolved in solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to produce a binder solution, mixed with active materials and conductive carbon to form electrode slurries. Slurries are then coated onto metallic current collectors and dried to form electrode films.

Storage: Keep in dry, sealed conditions to prevent moisture uptake. Handle with appropriate safety protocols and PPE to avoid inhalation of fine powders.
