Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.

Nippon Paper Industries Co.,Ltd(President:Toru Nozawa) is pleased to announce that it will participate in 23rd Annual Advanced Automotive Battery Conference US to be held in San Diego, US, from December 11 to 14.

Governments and automobile manufacturers around the world have a positive attitude toward the motorization of future means of transportation. The development of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), which support new energy cars, has advanced, and the SUNROSE MAC® series, a special grade of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) products developed by our Chemical Sales Division, is highly regarded in the new energy car and LiB industries around the world as a coating material used for the anode of the LiBs. This time, we will exhibit not only for commercial use, but for academic presentation, so our R&D staff will join.


1. Description of the product to be exhibited
Sunrose Mac® Series -For Lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs)-

SUNROSE® (CMC) is an anionic, water-soluble polymer derived from highly pure natural cellulose, which is manufactured through carboxymethylation.

The SUNROSE MAC® series is a special grade of SUNROSE® products developed for LiBs using our proprietary technologies.


Photos 1 and 2 show the appearance of glass coating surfaces of SUNROSE® standard grade (photo 1) and the SUNROSE MAC® series (photo 2).

The surfaces of the MAC series generate less insoluble gel than the standard grade immediately after coating, resulting in a beautiful coating film. By controlling the maximum particle sizes of all MAC products at 50 μm or less, the risk of pinholes generated after coating is reduced. The products have acquired the following international patents: JP, EP (GB, DE, IT and FR), the U.S. as well as KR.
