Daikin is uniquely positioned to supply electrolyte formulations that contain fluorinated solvents and additives. Daikins patented chemistries enable manufacturers to build Lithium ion batteries with greatly enhanced safety, higher energy density and longer life.
According to Gary Stanitis, Business Manager of Performance Products & Chemicals our business model is to work closely with each battery manufacturer to establish the optimum electrolyte formulation for their design and to respond to the emerging needs of the market. In light of the recent concerns about the fire safety of Lithium ion batteries, we feel we are uniquely positioned to offer functional, flame retarded, fluorinated electrolyte formulations that significantly increase battery safety.
In August of 2012, Daikin completed the construction of its state-of-the-art electrolyte manufacturing facility located in its plant complex in Decatur, Alabama. This facility is available to service the needs of the global Lithium ion battery industry.
