Batteries

A trusted supplier of raw materials to the international battery industry, we produce a range of materials designed to boost performance in a variety of battery applications such as lithium-ion, lead-acid and primary-alkaline.

We are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high purity titanium dioxide and are proud that our products help to provide the power behind batteries that make a difference to daily life.

In the utility industry, you’ll find our battery-grade products hard at work in stationary energy storage applications, delivering back up power for ancillary services and microgrids in the event of main grid supply outages. In mobile applications, our lithium titanate technologies are used in batteries that power forklift trucks and automated guided vehicles, helping to move objects around factories and warehouses. Our titanium dioxide-based products can also be used to support 12 and 48 V on-board power supplies in electromobility applications – supporting the drive to get more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.

We also offer a range of precipitated barium sulphate and titanium dioxide-based materials that can be used in lead-acid batteries, such as SLI batteries, to overcome lead aging phenomena. In lithium-ion batteries our titanium dioxide based products are also used to deliver safe, fast charge and discharge lithium titanate anode materials. The addition of high purity titanium dioxide to the cathode paste in primary alkaline batteries can also improve the storage stability and in-service lifetime. Our precursors can therefore increase the working life of numerous objects in our daily life, such as radios, toy, remote controls and clocks.

Whatever your battery application or manufacturing requirements, we’re confident we can help you find the right solution.

Key brands and products

Titanium dioxide

  • HOMBITEC® BM series: Titanium dioxide and titanium hydrate powders for use in the manufacturing of battery grade lithium titanate and as additives in both lead-acid and primary alkaline batteries. HOMBITEC® BM’s small particle size, tight particle size distribution and high purity make this range ideally suited for use in lead-acid plates, disposable alkaline batteries, and the very latest rechargeable lithium-ion technologies. These specialist inorganic materials can help improve the safety, thermal performance of power packs, enhance the capacity retention, charging speeds and life span of batteries.
  • HOMBITEC® LTO5 lithium titanate: A ready-to-use grade, this specialist product can be used to create batteries with an improved power to weight ratio, which can function consistently well at a range of temperatures. Key to the success of HOMBITEC® LTO5 is its advanced nanostructure. Used to replace graphite in anodes, this grade can create batteries that will charge and discharge in minutes rather than hours.

Additives

  • BLANC FIXE™ synthetic barium sulfate range: Produced in a carefully controlled manufacturing process, these high purity products help lead-acid battery technologies to overcome lead aging phenomena, helping to enable enhanced battery performance especially upon cold cranking behavior and in-service lifetime.
  • SACHTOPERSE® additives: These outstandingly pure and small particle size barium sulfate grades provide extra performance to your lead-acid battery, especially upon cold cranking behavior and in-service lifetime.
