Arkema showcases battery material solutions at US Battery Show 2026

Event participation

Arkema will present its battery materials portfolio at the US Battery Show 2026 in Detroit, Michigan, October 12–15, at Booth #2714.

EV battery materials

The company is working with battery manufacturers to improve energy density, safety and pack compactness. Product highlights for EV cells include Incellion® acrylic binders tailored for silicon-based anodes and Kynar® PVDF products used as cathode binders and separator coatings in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) systems to enable higher active-material loading and higher-energy-density cells. Arkema also supplies materials for thermal management and exterior safety needs, including Rilsan® Polyamide 11, Reafree® coating resins, Zenimid® polyimide, Rilsamid® Polyamide 12, Sartomer® UV-curable materials and Bostik adhesives.

ESS and industrialisation

For stationary energy storage, where cost, lifetime and scalability predominate, Arkema offers Kynar® PVDF and Incellion® binders for LFP systems, plus new Incellion® binders for primer coatings and ceramic-based separator layers that complement existing Kynar® Flex PVDF coating products. To support scale-up, the group completed a 15% PVDF capacity expansion at its Calvert City, Kentucky site in June 2026.

Circularity and recycling

Arkema supports battery recycling with Albone® high-purity hydrogen peroxide for hydrometallurgical recovery of lithium, cobalt and nickel, and with Bostik silicone-free thermal gap fillers to facilitate cleaner disassembly during recycling.
