⚡ The Dual Champions of High-Performance PVDF Binder Systems — Arkema Kynar® HSV900 and KYNAR FLEX® 2801-00

In high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, the binder plays a crucial role in determining electrode conductivity, structural stability, and cycling life.
Among the top-performing PVDF binder systems available today, Arkema’s Kynar® HSV900 and KYNAR FLEX® 2801-00 stand out as the two benchmark materials—representing the dual directions of rigid structural stability and flexible copolymer modification.


🔧 1. Kynar® HSV900 – High-Performance PVDF Binder for Advanced Electrodes

Kynar® HSV900 is a high-purity polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) powder binder developed by Arkema specifically for high-nickel cathodes and silicon–carbon anodes.
It offers excellent solubility, adhesion, and electrochemical stability, making it ideal for advanced electrode fabrication.

🌟 Key Features

  • 💡 High adhesion with low loading: Strong electrode bonding allows for reduced binder content.

  • 🔥 Fast dissolving and easy processing: Quickly dissolves in NMP, suitable for high-speed coating lines.

  • Low impedance, high stability: Minimal impedance growth during cycling; compatible with high-voltage systems.

  • 🌡 Superior thermal and chemical stability: Maintains performance under harsh, high-temperature, and high-voltage conditions.


💎 2. KYNAR FLEX® 2801-00 – PVDF-HFP Copolymer for Flexibility and Chemical Resistance

KYNAR FLEX® 2801-00 is a copolymer of PVDF and hexafluoropropylene (HFP), combining excellent flexibility, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability.
It is widely used in electrode binders, separator coatings, and functional polymer films, and also serves as a polyolefin processing aid (PPA).

🌟 Product Highlights

  • 🔸 High flexibility: Elongation at break >50%, retains ductility even at low temperature.

  • 🔸 Strong chemical resistance: Stable under strong acid, alkali, and extreme pH environments.

  • 🔸 High decomposition temperature: Up to 410 °C in N₂ atmosphere.

  • 🔸 Excellent insulation: Stable dielectric constant, surface resistivity up to 10¹¹ Ω.

  • 🔸 Outstanding flame resistance: LOI 42%, UL V-0 fire rating.
