Handling<br />

Handling<br />

<strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> is produced and packaged under<br />

very dry conditions. The presence of moisture<br />

could lead to adverse effects in battery performance,<br />

therefore, <strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> is shipped in<br />

aluminum-metalized sealable bags with a plastic<br />

inner-liner for optimal moisture-barrier protection.<br />

Süd-Chemie recommends that the bags be opened<br />

in a dry room atmosphere (-40°C dew point). If a<br />

dry room is not available, the produced LiFePO 4<br />

cathode should be dried in a vacuum dryer with<br />

max. temperature of 120°C.<br />

<strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> cathode slurry can be produced<br />

with conventional solvents, such as N-Methylpyrrolidone<br />

(NMP), or with water-based binders.<br />

It is important to achieve good mixing of the<br />

components; we recommend the use of a high<br />

energy stirrer and/or a homogenizer.<br />

Packaging<br />

<strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> is typically delivered in 20kg bags<br />

with plastic inner-liner in a cardboard box.<br />

20 boxes can be loaded on a pallet to a total<br />

weight of 400kg; 20” and 40’ containers have a<br />

total weight of 8.000kg and 16.000kg, respectively.<br />

Storage<br />

<strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> can be stored in closed bags<br />

for more than 6 months without effect on the<br />

electrochemical performance. It is important to<br />

store opened bags of <strong>Life</strong> Power ® <strong>P2</strong> under dry<br />

conditions as it tends to pick up moisture even<br />

in a very short exposure time.<br />

<strong>Life</strong> Power ® is a registered trademark of Süd-Chemie.<br />
