Webinar - Optimizing Dry Electrode Processes: How PTFE and Powder Characterization Transform Battery Manufacturing - February 12, 2026 · 09:00–10:00 CET
Join Daikin and Granutools for an exclusive technical webinar exploring the critical role of PTFE powders in the battery dry electrode process.
Discover how Daikin’s innovative materials and Granutools’ advanced characterization techniques enable optimized processing and superior battery performance.
What you’ll learn
- How PTFE fibrillation mechanisms influence dry electrode manufacturing and downstream battery performance.
- How advanced powder characterization (e.g., dynamic flow metrics) provides actionable parameters to tune mixing and handling.
- Why temperature conditioning matters for pure PTFE powder flowability, and how to balance process efficiency with energy costs.
Agenda & Speakers
09:00 – Welcome & Introduction
Giuseppe Rosario Del Sorbo, Sales Manager, Granutools
09:10 – The Fibrillation Magic: Leveraging Advanced Powder Characterization for Next-Generation Battery Dry Processing
This presentation will focus on advanced analytics to characterize key material properties and precisely understand the PTFE fibrillation mechanism. Learn how this technical insight, enabled through strong partnerships, leads directly to optimized processing and the performance benefits of Daikin's premium PTFE grades.
By Stefan van Wickeren, Industry Marketing Specialist for Energy Storage & Generation, Daikin Chemical Europe GmbH
09:30 – How to Measure the Effect of Temperature on Pure PTFE Powder Flowability for Process Improvement
In this work, we present how to characterize the flowability of pure PTFE powder and how it can help to improve handling processes. The effect of cooling on PTFE flowability is investigated to determine a temperature that optimizes the flowability and the energy cost for the temperature conditioning.
By Salvatore Pillitteri, Particle Scientist, Granutools
