BASF introduces a new polyisobutene binder for solid-state battery cathode, anode and electrolyte applications

BASF has introduced Oppanol N PLUS, a polyisobutene-based binder engineered for next-generation EV batteries, including solid-state architectures. The product is positioned primarily around tighter manufacturing specifications rather than a new underlying chemistry—the goal is to reduce batch-to-batch variability for battery cell producers running high-throughput production lines. As a binder, the material holds together electrode and electrolyt…
