Product Information

Outline

DENKA BLACK Li is an ultra-pure acetylene black having minimal metallic impurities used as an conductive additive in lithium ion batteries and next-generation batteries; a rapidly expanding market in recent years.

Characteristics

DENKA BLACK Li maintains the original characteristics of DENKA BLACK, but improves on its predecessor by minimizing the level of metallic impurities to the lowest possible extent.
In addition to fulfilling the fundamental requirements of a lithium-ion battery conductive additive (high electrical conductivity and electrolyte-rentention),
DENKA BLACK Li mitigates battery short-circuits caused by metallic impurities and markedly improves the issue of battery defect rates.

Ultra-high purity acetylene black

Boasting ultra-high purity afforded by thermal self-decomposition of acetylene black, DENKA BLACK Li is widely used in lithium ion batteries. To meet high quality-demands in this sector, we have finessed our purification techniques through in-house production know-how.
Furthermore, to provide a supply of higher purity grade of carbon black, we established new production facilities in Chiba Plant.
Through the accumulated experience gained from over 70 years of production in Omuta and Singapore, we were able to reduce metallic impurities content to 10% of its original level by harnessing technology to first, minimize generation of metallic impurities and second, remove any metallic impurities generated.
