UBE Prepares Samples of Electrolytes in Castellón

UBE Chemical Europe The company, which is based in Castellón since 1999, will begin taking samples of electrolytes for lithium batteries used in hybrid vehicles and energy storage. Samples will be in his own lab and then are evaluated by the manufacturers of these batteries, both in Europe and the United States.

Testing and evaluation of the samples will begin in April and will run throughout the year. Characteristics are achieved if required battery manufacturers, especially as regards the purity of the electrolyte, and there is a growing demand in the market, will consider the construction of a plant for production and marketing. The new development center "will allow lithium battery manufacturers in Europe and America can benefit from the extensive experience of UBE in the field of functional electrolytes for developing high performance batteries."
