Manufacture's Feature

  ・ Pioneering the Future of Secondary Batteries with Ink
   Technology: Achieving Highest-Quality Liquefaction of
   Hard-to-Disperse CNTs and Graphene. 

  ・ Achieving an exceptional balance of high solid content,
   low viscosity, and low moisture content. We powerfully
   support next-generation battery material development—from
   slurry preparation to electrode coating. 

  ・ Achieving an exceptional balance of high solid content,
   low viscosity, and low moisture content. We provide powerful
   support for next-generation battery material development
   —from slurry preparation to electrode coating.

 
Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/SWCNTs) and graphene dictate next-generation battery performance. While highly conductive, they easily aggregate, making them extremely difficult to handle.
 
We have applied our unique ultra-fine dispersion technology and scale-up know-how, developed over years of creating writing ink pigments, to electrode materials. By achieving uniform and stable deagglomeration and dispersion, we unlock the full potential of conductive additives. This enhances contact efficiency with active materials, driving both high battery performance and major efficiency gains in the manufacturing process.

Specialized Areas

Expanding the possibilities of high-performance materials through our unique dispersion technology.
Utilizing our proprietary ultrafine particle dispersion technology developed over many years, Mitsubishi Pencil provides high-quality dispersions of hard-to-disperse materials such as PTFE (fluoropolymer), CNTs, and graphene.
Furthermore, regarding CNT and graphene, we offer customized liquid dispersion services. We can mix these nanomaterials with raw materials specified by individual clients, including resins and inorganic materials, to meet their unique requirements.
 
  ・ Achieving Both High Solid Content and Low Viscosity:
      We realize low-viscosity, high-solid-content slurries
      that maintain a uniform particle size distribution without
      compromising coatability. This simultaneously increases
      energy density and reduces the load on the drying process.

  ・ Flexible application to both aqueous and solvent-based (NMP)
    systems:
      We support the preparation of not only non-aqueous systems
      (such as NMP) that require strict low-moisture control, but
      also aqueous dispersions with preservative systems enhanced
      by our proprietary technology. This expands your options
      for processes while reducing environmental impact.

  ・ Comprehensive Development Support:
      We go beyond simply supplying dispersions to offer a fully
      integrated suite of solutions tailored to your needs
      -from cathode and anode slurry preparation to electrode
      coating trials.

Specialized Technologies

 [PTFE dispersion]
 

Our PTFE dispersion is a liquid material that achieves a stable, nano-level dispersion of PTFE, successfully overcoming the traditional challenge of achieving uniform dispersion in organic solvents.
It is easy to mix with resins and varnishes, and can be smoothly introduced into existing production lines.
By maximizing the inherent properties of PTFE?including low dielectric constant, excellent water/oil repellency, and low friction?this product helps improve electrical characteristics, sliding properties, and wear resistance.
The material is highly anticipated for use across various applications, including high-frequency substrates, low-dielectric resins, functional coatings, molding materials, and high-performance battery binders.
 

Through our unique compounding and dispersion technologies, we have overcome the challenges specific to PTFE and realized excellent dispersion stability.

  ・ Inhibition of fibrillation and gelation: Prevents viscosity
   increase and particle coalescence to maintain stable liquid
   quality.

  ・ Uniform Particle Distribution: Nano-level PTFE disperses
   uniformly throughout the resin, maximizing the material's
   inherent performance.

  ・ Easy blendability: Because it is stably dispersed in various
   solvents, it can be smoothly mixed into existing resins and
   varnishes.
  

   By using our dispersant, the micronized PTFE particles are uniformly dispersed within the film matrix resin. This prevents agglomerated particles from appearing on the surface, and maintains the uniform particle distribution inside the film even if the surface is scraped. Additionally, grinding the film exposes the embedded particles to the surface, which is expected to improve water repellency and other properties.

 [Expected Effects and Intended Uses]

The excellent properties of PTFE can be imparted to coating films and molded products.
  ・ Improvement of Electrical Properties: Reduction of Relative
   Permittivity (Dk) and Dielectric Dissipation Factor (Df)
    (High-Frequency Substrates / Low-Dielectric Resin Materials)

  ・ Enhancing Surface Functionality: Superior Water and Oil
   Repellency

  ・ Improved sliding performance: Enhanced wear resistance
   through friction reduction

  ・ Energy Field: High-performance binders for batteries
  
We will propose the optimal specifications tailored to your manu- facturing processes and required characteristics.
  
  ・ Adjustable items: Solvent type, PTFE concentration, viscosity,
   particle size, etc.

  ・ We support everything from small-lot prototype development to
   mass production.

  
We can flexibly accommodate your needs and required quantities.Please feel free to contact us.
