Fluorinated polymers: flying under the radar?

fluorinated polymers in the energy transition

Fluorinated polymers are a ‘stealth bottleneck’ for the energy transition: used in solar back-sheets, battery binders/separators, wind blades, and across the hydrogen chain. But low down the bill of materials,…

Solvay: lithium ion battery binders and additives?

Solvay battery
