Prayon obtains worldwide sublicense for lithium iron phosphate battery material
Engis, 14 May 2012 The Prayon Group, world leader in the production of phosphates, has obtained a worldwide sublicense under a portfolio of key patents for the manufacture, sale and use of lithium metal phosphate (LMP), including lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The patents are owned by Hydro-
Québec (Canada), Université de Montréal (Canada) and French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS, France). The licensing agreement was signed with LiFePO4+C Licensing AG, an affiliate of Clariant AG, which has been established in agreement with the patent owners. Prayon is the sixth company to reach such an agreement with LiFePO4+C, which grants a limited number of sublicenses to suitable LFP/LMP producers capable to address the market demand with high quality products. Lithium iron phosphate is an innovative cathode material whose excellent performance and
superior safety profile offer great potential for notably hybrid and electric vehicle batteries as well as stationary applications (solar and wind power storage systems). Prayon built a pilot plant for the manufacture of lithium iron phosphate based on a high-speed, low-cost continuous process. A new production facility will be operated in Belgium (at its main production site in Engis) in summer 2012. Prayon has committed to establish further industrial size manufacturing facilities in France and in the Province of Quebec in the coming years. “Thanks to our unique patented production process, Prayon has the capability to produce lithium boron iron phosphate with outstanding performance at competitive cost”, said Yves Caprara, CEO of Prayon Group. “This licensing agreement will now help us to address the growing demand from global battery and automotive industries for reliable sources of high quality lithium iron phosphate.” About Prayon With more than a century of industrial experience, the Belgium-based Prayon Group is a world leader in phosphate chemistry.
