Birla Carbon participating at The Battery Show Europe

Following its recent entry into the energy systems market, Birla Carbon will present a portfolio of conductive carbon solutions with its Conductex i and Conductex e series of products, along with its upcoming carbon-based solutions for the battery industry, at The Battery Show Europe in Germany this week. The company says it’s participating in the event in order to expand its geographic presence in Europe and globally while addressing customer needs.

Birla Carbon developed its new portfolio of conductive carbons for the lithium ion and lead acid battery markets with a view towards custom formulation and customised performance in a variety of segments, including automotive, telecoms, motive power, energy storage systems, and e-bikes. These products leverage Birla Carbon’s Ultra process to “ensure the highest levels of purity and conductivity, enabling increased charge acceptance, particularly under partial state-of-charge operation.”

Significant commitment to the market

Sharing his thoughts on Birla Carbon’s participation in The Battery Show, John Davidson, chief sales and marketing officer, says: “Birla Carbon has designed a new portfolio of conductive carbons for the lithium ion and lead acid battery markets that provide five to 15 per cent energy savings. The Battery Show Europe is a forum where the energy storage market leaders come together, and we would like to share our solutions with them.

“Our participation signifies our commitment to the market, and the solutions we present are our way of sharing the strength,” adds Davidson. “We are proud to continue this journey through sustainability and circularity, offering clean energy solutions for the battery market with our highly engineered conductive carbon additives.”

Dr Ann Schoeb, chief R&D officer and head of Birla Carbon’s Energy Systems business, comments: “Birla Carbon’s entry into the battery market indicates our ambitions for growth as the demand for materials to support electric vehicles and other energy storage requirements escalates rapidly. We aim to constantly bring innovative products to the market and develop them to support our customers’ needs. With Conductex i and Conductex e product portfolio, Birla Carbon is enhancing the contribution of carbons in advanced battery applications.”

The Battery Show Europe 2021 begins at Messe Stuttgart in Germany tomorrow and runs until 2 December. Birla Carbon will exhibit at Booth 8-654.
