PVDF Binder | Copolymer Formulas
Targray PVDF is an ultra high viscosity grade polyvinylidene fluoride copolymer molecules containing polar functional groups can be enhanced between the polymer molecules, the active substance and force between the pole pieces of metal, and to improve the adhesion properties in the electrolyte corrosion resistance.
Targray PVDF can effectively reduce the amount of formula, reducing battery DC resistance, to improve the energy density of the battery charge and discharge performance, effectively inhibiting cell resistance changes during the cycle, and thus meet the needs of the automotive industry.
