Arkema Opens New Battery Dry-Coating Lab in Normandy
Arkema has opened a new battery dry-coating laboratory in Normandy, France. The lab, inaugurated on 01.10.2025, focuses on advancing dry-coating processes for battery electrodes. This facility complements Arkema's global network of R&D labs for the battery industry.
The new lab is equipped with two key technologies: direct calendaring and electrode deposition. Direct calendaring enables the production of uniform electrode layers with controlled thickness. Electrode deposition allows for advanced material layering and adaptation, offering greater flexibility in electrode design.
Arkema's long-standing expertise in powder processing has been crucial in developing more sustainable battery production processes. The new lab embodies Arkema's commitment to innovation and supporting the energy transition, as seen by Anne Christmann, head of R&D. The lab is a hub for joint innovations with major cell manufacturers and automakers, aiming to reduce energy consumption and improve the carbon footprint of battery production.
Arkema's battery dry-coating laboratory in Normandy is set to drive advancements in dry-coating processes. With its focus on direct calendaring and electrode deposition, the lab supports Arkema's goal of creating more sustainable battery production methods. The facility's opening marks a significant step in the company's commitment to the energy transition.
