PVDF Binder | Copolymer Formulas
Targray PVDF copolymer is an ultra high viscosity grade polyvinylidene fluoride binder for battery manufacturers. This PVDF binder powder can effectively reduce the amount of formula required in manufacturing, lowering battery DC resistance, improving energy density of the battery charge and enhancing discharge performance. Moreover, it inhibits cell resistance changes during cycling, which meets the rigorous needs of automotive battery manufacturers.
