The electrochemical case for LTO in heavy-duty & stationary applications
Why replacing the Graphite Anode is the key to unlocking 20-year asset life. The automotive industry has successfully driven down battery costs by optimizing for energy density ($/kWh) using Graphite anodes paired with NMC or LFP cathodes. This works for cars. But for industrial applications—Rail, Marine, Grid Storage, and Heavy Duty Logistics—the operational profile is […]

Braking Green: The rise of natural products in friction materials
The automotive industry is accelerating towards a greener future, and brake pads are joining the ride. While traditional friction materials have relied heavily on synthetic components, there’s a growing trend towards incorporating natural products into their formulations. This shift not only reduces environmental impact but also unlocks unique performance benefits. Natural Powders: unlocking hidden potential […]
Fiber-reinforced concrete pavements: the invisible solution for light traffic
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has become a popular choice for light-traffic pavements. Thanks to the fibers, these pavements are stronger, more durable, and easier to construct. What benefits does FRC offer, and how can it help optimize the performance and lifespan of your paving projects? Types of fibers for light-traffic pavements There are different types of […]
Beyond moly: The future of EP additives for demanding applications
Extreme Pressure (EP) additives are the unsung heroes of industrial lubrication, especially when the going gets tough. These additives form a protective layer on metal surfaces, reducing friction and wear, which is essential for heavy-duty applications. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has long been the dominant choice for achieving EP performance. However, relying solely on MoS2 is […]
