Birla Carbon will showcase its portfolio of conductive carbon solutions for demanding applications, including modern battery technologies and other high-value uses at The Battery Show North America 2026
Conductive carbon materials play a highly important role in battery performance by creating pathways for electrons within battery electrodes. The right conductive additive can enable faster charging, improved high-rate performance and longer cycle life, while also supporting more efficient battery manufacturing.
From 12 to 15 October at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan, USA, at Booth 3029, Birla Carbon will present its conductive carbon solutions portfolio, with Shashank Awasthi, President, Speciality Materials, Birla Carbon, saying, “Electrification is creating new performance demands across the materials value chain, and advanced carbon materials have an important role to play in meeting them. At Birla Carbon, we are combining our expertise in carbon materials with an expanding speciality portfolio to help customers address these evolving requirements.”
He further added, “Established lithium-ion battery manufacturers need to showcase supply chain resilience, extended cycle life, and ever-increasing fast charging requirements, which Birla Carbon’s portfolio enables. Next-generation cell technologies, like LMFP, sodium-ion, solid-state, and metal-air, are rapidly improving by incorporating ConductexTM i carbon blacks and NanocylTM carbon nanotubes into their formulations. Our global footprint, technical capabilities and collaborative approach enable us to work closely with customers to co-develop solutions tailored to their performance and processing needs.”
At The Battery Show North America 2026, Birla Carbon will present its Conductex™ i conductive carbon black grades, Nanocyl™ carbon nanotubes and carbon black-CNT blend formulations, developed for a wide range of conductive applications. These solutions offer high-purity conductivity and uniform dispersibility. Conductex™ i carbon black grades also help reduce solvent consumption and energy use during battery electrode manufacturing, lowering production costs for customers.
For manufacturers across industries, Birla Carbon offers a range of conductive carbon additives to support key industry themes such as charge acceptance, battery capacity, dry coating and solid-state.
