From raw materials, through to the production of anodes and cathodes, battery cells, housing and final module assembly, we can provide you with a range of chemicals, consumables and PPE (personal protective equipment) to meet your most demanding manufacturing requirements.
We can also supply a range of equipment, instruments and apparatus to support your continuous formulation analytical testing, QC and QA of source materials, manufactured components and final product. This includes dedicated battery test chambers optimised in accordance with the Global Standard Legislation EUCAR Hazard Levels 0 to 7, UL 1642 Standard for Lithium Batteries, UL 2054 Household and Commercial Batteries, and IEC 62133 Safety Requirements for Portable Sealed Secondary Cells. We can also offer:
• Incubators, circulating baths and climate chambers for storage and ageing testing
• Titrators, viscometers, digital imaging systems, chromatographic and spectrophotometric systems for characterisation and performance testing
It also goes without saying that your basic laboratory R&D of new and innovative product will also be supported by our wider chemicals and equipment portfolio, all backed up with first-class sales, technical and customer service.
In short, we will work with you to help you develop and deliver:
• Successful, profitable battery products that store energy and deliver current!
• Batteries tested for endurance and mechanical integrity under different environmental conditions
• Personal safety at all stages during the entire manufacturing lifecycle
From formulation, pure research through to final manufacture, we provide a comprehensive catalogue of analytical consumables, instruments and PPE safety equipment to support a range of operations such as basic engineering, prototyping, and the characterisation and process integration of smaller, stronger and lightweight innovative materials.
Our instrument and equipment portfolio is ideal for the analysis and testing of:
• Metal paints and other coatings
• Anode, cathode and separator
• Corrosion, attrition and other wear and tear
• Particulates and emissions
• Tyre cord adhesion and carbon black chemistry
• Synthetic lubricant additives
• Upholstery testing
• Failure analysis
• Temperature control
• Recycling testing
Our temperature control (bath and circulator) systems:
• Offer a wide temperature range without bath fluid changes
• Deliver quick temperature changes to simulate the cooling circuits of vehicles or environmental fluctuations
• Reliably control test specimens, optimise heat input and dissipation and simulate environmental conditions during highly sensitive investigations
As the world leader in serving science, Thermo Fisher Scientific provides the widest range of analytical instrumentation for analysis, testing and formulation, including:
• Torque rheometry and extrusion
• Viscometry and rheometry
• X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
• Electron microscopy with the Phenom™ Desktop SEM (SEM, TEM and FIB-SEM)
• Spectroscopy and microscopy (FTIR, Raman and NIR)
• Mass spectrometry (GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS, HREMS-MS, TEA), micro-CT
• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
• Microscopy and digital optical imaging systems
From raw materials, through to the production of anodes and cathodes, battery cells, housing and final module assembly, we can provide you with a range of chemicals, consumables and PPE (personal protective equipment) to meet your most demanding manufacturing requirements.
