Our manganese is a critical ingredient for power.

Lithium-ion battery use continues to increase in everything from consumer electronics to more environmentally friendly vehicles. From hybrid to full electric cars, battery cathodes require high purity and consistent active materials to produce safe and high-performing batteries. These active materials that are ultimately responsible for powering electric vehicles are increasingly manganese compounds or manganese-containing substances.

Manganese is also used to produce lithium-ion batteries for smaller devices such as power tools, electric bikes and consumer electronics. It is increasingly used in energy storage systems such as solar and wind power. Vibrantz has developed:

• Innovative, high purity products, including physically and chemically consistent manganese salts and oxides
• High-purity manganese sulfate, a key raw material for lithium-ion batteries

Activated performance with every press of a button.

Throughout each day, people rely on batteries each time they turn on a device. Whether it’s a remote for the television or a flashlight and radio during an emergency, batteries should work every time. We provide electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) to the battery market to help batteries perform as expected. The alkaline battery market is a highly competitive industry where manufacturers work to continuously increase production speeds to boost productivity and reduce costs. Battery manufacturers need consistent, high-quality raw materials to ensure smooth production on their high-speed lines. Vibrantz provides:

• Highest EMD consistency via optimized production and stringent production controls and scorecards
• Dedicated EMD production facilities in the U.S. and China, the two largest alkaline battery markets
