Electro-Rite® BD020 polymer is a synthetic acrylate binder and dispersant for use in lithium-ion battery construction. It is compatible with and effectively disperses carbon and silicon/carbon in anode matrixes, as well as ceramics in separator coatings, yielding a strong binder with excellent adhesion, limited flexibility and low electrolyte swellability. Electro-Rite® BD020 polymer also has utility as a primer coating for use on anode and cathode electrodes.
