ARK

Building on its unique set of expertise in materials science, Arkema designs materials to address the ever-growing demand for innovative and more sustainable solutions, driven by the challenges of new energies, new technologies, the depletion of resources, mobility, and increasing urbanization. The Group is especially developing and producing materials for Li-ion battery cells, modules and packs. Sustained by the collective energy of its 21,100 employees, Arkema operates in some 55 countries and reports sales of €9.5 billion in 2023.

Arkema decided to participate in the EPISODE project because it aligns perfectly with our core objectives of innovation and market leadership. By engaging in this project, we aim to:

Drive Innovation: EPISODE offers an opportunity to explore cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, which are essential for maintaining our competitive edge and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Expand Market Reach: Participation in EPISODE allows us to collaborate with industry leaders and academic institutions within the consortium, facilitating knowledge exchange and opening new avenues for market expansion. This aligns with our objective to diversify our product portfolio and enter new markets.

Strengthen Partnerships: Collaborating on this project strengthens our relationships with key stakeholders, including customers, partners. This collaboration is crucial for building trust and ensuring the successful implementation of innovative solutions.

Arkema will develop non-flammable electrolytes containing NaFSI salts for Sodium-Ion Battery technology. Arkema will also develop the binders for the EPISODE active material and will develop Acrylics based binders for the anode side, to improve the electrode mechanical performance.
