Syensqo is a major player in the transportation industry, offering an extensive portfolio of advanced materials that enable cleaner, safer and more energy-efficient mobility. Driven by its battery materials and green hydrogen growth platforms, which are designed to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future, the company has been at the forefront of developments in electric vehicle technology for decades.
Syensqo’s new PVDF grade, Solef® ZA830, which will be launched at the Battery Show, is a great example of this. Solef® ZA830 is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of cutting-edge PVDF grades tailored for use in batteries made using high nickel cathode active materials, offering unprecedented cathode adhesion and processability. It is commercially available worldwide.
“We’re excited to launch our new Solef® ZA830 PVDF at this year’s The Battery Show,” said Maurizio Gastaldi, Battery Materials Growth Platform Director. “This new grade is designed to meet the needs of our customers by enabling higher production speeds and lower processing costs. Compatible with a wide range of active battery materials, it helps to increase battery cycle life and energy density, delivering long-term performance even while operating at high voltage.”
In addition to PVDF, Syensqo offers a range of cutting-edge materials and innovative technologies for current and next-generation electric vehicle batteries, battery packs, e-motors and power electronics, as well as solutions aimed at enabling a faster transition to a green hydrogen economy.
