Join Benchmark’s week of networking, dealmaking and policy in Washington DC for Giga USA 2024, a live, and in-person conference being held June 11-13 at the JW Marriott Washington DC, USA.

Across three days and multiple streams, discussions will explore the rise of USA's lithium ion battery gigafactory economy and the need to build secure, sustainable supply chains for lithium, nickel, graphite, cobalt, manganese, rare earths and other critical raw materials.

Arkema is an exhibiting material solutions company with a broad range of products for battery cell, module and pack components. Inside the cell, Kynar® PVDF is used as a binder in high-capacity electrodes for excellent adhesion at low loading. In separator coatings, Kynar® PVDF provides excellent adhesion to the separator and the electrodes for enhanced safety and durability. Foranext® Ultra-Pure LiFSI lithium salt enables high ionic conductivity and stability in high voltage cathode/anode systems.

Foranext® LiTDI is an electrolyte additive that helps significantly increase battery lifetime. Outside the cell, Rilsan® PA11, a bio-sourced polyamide resin, is used to protect high voltage busbars and battery cooling elements with easier application than epoxies. For the highest temperature requirements, Kepstan® PEKK can also be coextruded or applied as a coating to provide electrical insulation and limit the risk of a thermal runaway. Finally, Bostik’s adhesive solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of dedicated adhesives, fillers and sealants used for cell assembly, pack assembly, thermal management and fire protection.
