Specialty materials solutions provider Trinseo has launched its fourth-generation SBR binder platform, engineered for electric vehicle (EV) and battery energy storage system (ESS) applications.
Developed in collaboration with global battery manufacturers, Trinseo says it addresses critical industry needs for higher energy density, greater durability, improved processability, and increased production efficiency. The platform delivers up to 30% higher peel strength compared to traditional SBR binder technologies, enabling stronger electrode adhesion, thicker coatings, and faster coating speeds, key to achieving higher-capacity cells and extending EV driving range.
The first product introduced under this platform, Voltabond 109 Latex Binder, combines these next-generation performance attributes with rebound control and broad compatibility across both graphite and low-to-medium silicon anodes. Its versatility supports a range of cell designs and manufacturing conditions, offering flexibility for both EV and ESS applications.
Furthermore, it adds that combining top-tier performance with enhanced high-temperature stability and low internal cell resistance, the platform supports faster charging and dependable long-term operation.
Produced locally in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, the next-gen platform reinforces Trinseo’s global supply resilience and responsiveness to regional battery manufacturing hubs, it adds.
The new SBR binder also builds upon Trinseo’s decades-long legacy in emulsion polymerisation and performance binders.
