The expansion announced today will raise Asahi Kasei’s coating capacity for LIB separators to approximately 1.2 billion m2/year, enabling the supply of coated separators for batteries equivalent to said 1.7 million electric vehicles. The company has earmarked about 40 billion yen, equivalent to 250 million euros.
Separator films are thin, microporous polyolefin films between the cathode and anode of lithium-ion batteries. They prevent contact between the electrodes, which would cause a short circuit, while lithium ions can move freely between the electrodes.
In May this year, Canada welcomed Asahi Kasei’s investment of around C$1.6bn to establish an EV battery separator plant in Port Colborne, Ontario, following a prior announcement from federal and provincial government officials. How do you feel about prospects for major automotive markets and businesses over the next 12 months?
