PFAS vs PTFE in 2025: What’s Really Changing for Powder-Based Manufacturing
PFAS PTFE powder manufacturing industries will face policy tightening across Europe. PTFE’s role as a binder and in plant materials sits in the spotlight. The next 12–24 months will shape supply, compliance costs, and the technical direction of powder-based manufacturing. Table of contents PFAS PTFE [...]
Cobalt Exposure Limits in Powder Manufacturing: Five Steps to EU Compliance
Cobalt exposure limits in powder manufacturing are tightening. Plants must act now with controls, monitoring, and training to meet EU compliance. New EU cobalt limits at a glance The European Commission proposed new OELs for cobalt and its inorganic compounds. The values are very low for cobalt [...]
Atomic Fundamentals and the Density–Energy Link
Lithium’s atomic-scale behavior drives energy density in batteries. Powders are not passive scaffolds but active media where atomic interactions, transport pathways, and degradation processes unfold. Their structure and chemistry evolve with cycling, and that evolution decides whether a cell delivers stability or failure. Table of contents [...]
Hard Carbon in Sodium-Ion Batteries: Moisture Control, Powder QA, and Line Readiness
Hard carbon sodium-ion batteries are a match made in heaven. When moisture stays low and surface area remains controlled. A disciplined dry-room setup, paired with tight powder QA, improves Coulombic efficiency and shortens formation cycles. It all starts with the powder. Table of contents Sodium-ion [...]
Black Mass Powder Handling: NFPA 660, 2025 Safety Regulations
Black mass is fine, conductive, and often cohesive. It brings fire, explosion, and exposure risks unlike typical bulk solids. In 2025, the rules tightened. The EU now treats Black Mass Powder Handling as a hazardous process. China plans strict import conditions. Plants need powder-first controls. Start with characterization, enclosure, capture, and a DHA [...]
