Product Code: MT-MAT-2025
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.
