What Is Winston Battery’s Water-Based Binder Technology and How Does It Differ from PVDF-Based Processes?

Winston Battery’s water-based binder technology replaces the conventional PVDF oil-based binder commonly used in lithium battery electrodes with a water-based alternative. This change significantly improves safety, stability, and environmental performance.
In abnormal thermal events or fire scenarios, water-based binders allow active fire suppression and controllable flame mitigation, helping to limit damage. By contrast, PVDF-based binders tend to burn uncontrollably once ignited, often requiring the fire to burn out naturally and resulting in substantial property loss.
This technology choice is not about process simplification, but about engineering batteries with controllable safety behavior and reduced fire risk.
