We are thrilled to begin our journey with the TriFluorium Project, aiming to demonstrate the tribolysis recycling principle for organofluorides! Fluoropolymers are essential for many applications, such as semiconductors, medical applications or green technologies like hydrogen production and electric vehicles. However, their disposal is limited and the EU relies on imports for fluorspar, a critical resource with a recycling rate of only 1 % due to a lack of effective recycling technologies. The EU-funded TriFluorium project will demonstrate the tribolysis recycling principle for organofluorides, regardless of their chemical structure or state. The project will also develop a dedicated triboreactor for laboratory-scale validation, paving the way for scaling and industrializing tribolysis technology.

Daikin Chemicals will be presenting at the upcoming Coiltech in Augsburg, Germany. Hemke Maeter will share his insights and recent learnings on the topic of “Advancing reliability and manufacturing of hairpin stators for high voltage traction drives with PFA magnet wire”. You are invited to Hemke’s presentation and learn about next generation insulation opportunities! If you'd prefer a more detailed conversation, we'd be happy to meet you at the Additive Drives GmbH booth, stand 2-128. In case you are not able to attend the Coiltech fair for coil winding experts, please feel free to reach out to us and we are happy to share the presentation with you. Hope to connect with you and review future e-drive performance and efficiency improvement opportunities! Get in contact with us: https://lnkd.in/e7XtFq7

More than 10% increase in continuous e-motor performance Partial discharge poses a major challenge for developing long-lasting, high-performance electric motors, especially for use in electric aircraft. The effect of partial discharge between the individual conductors will damage the insulation, and significantly reduce the life of the electric motor. Daikin Chemicals and Additive Drives GmbH recently presented the first results of their joint development activities at the E|DPC conference in Regensburg, Germany: Increasing the copper fill factor in electric motors while reducing partial discharge. Daikin Chemicals' joint development partner Additive Drives takes the phenomenon of partial discharge into account when developing new electric motors. The Partial Discharge Inception Voltage (PDIV) level can be increased by adjusting the wiring. For this purpose, the winding design is optimized and validated for partial discharge using in-house simulation tools. In addition, PFA insulated magnet wire is used to achieve the best possible results. Side by side, functional testing demonstrated a PDIV level consistently higher compared to the incumbent insulation materials. Consequently, and compared to PAI enamel wire, the insulation thickness could be reduced by 50%, resulting in a significantly higher copper fill factor in the slot and an increase in the continuous power of the motor by more than 10%. At the same time, the efficiency of the motor is significantly improved. This technology can be used in a variety of way and opens up new areas in the field of high-performance, and efficient electric motors: - 800+ V for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and heavy trucks - Durable rail and traction drives - Powerful aviation e-drives Additive Drives and Daikin Chemicals have invested in in-house production of wires which enables particularly fast prototyping and rapid validation of the concepts. Processing on standard equipment guarantees the suitability of scaling the production process. #electricmotor #electrification #emotor #emobility #innovation

Happy Periodic Table Day! 🔬 Today, we celebrate the building blocks of the universe and their incredible contributions to science, innovation, and technology. For Periodic Table Day, we would like to highlight the element sodium (Na) which plays key role in an exciting, groundbreaking project we're part of! As part of NIBlog, a German funded project, we’re exploring sodium-ion batteries as a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries—specifically for powering electric forklifts. Why Sodium? - Abundance & Affordability: Sodium is far more abundant than lithium, reducing costs and supply chain concerns. - Sustainability: By leveraging sodium, we minimize environmental impact and reliance on critical raw materials. - Performance: Sodium-ion batteries are proving to be a viable solution for energy-intensive applications like forklifts. Together with our partners, we’re working on unlocking sodium’s full potential and contributing to a more sustainable future!

Thank you Institute for Energy Technology for hosting and organizing the kick-off meeting for SPRINT - Horizon Europe! We're excited to be part of this project and look forward to the collaboration. We see huge potential in this consortium and can't wait to see what we achieve together!

Sunday marks International Students’ Day! On this special occasion, we want to celebrate the bright minds and ambitious spirits of students around the world! Whether you are working in an office, a laboratory, or exploring new challenges through internships, your passion for learning and growth is truly inspiring. At Daikin Chemicals, we believe in the power of education to shape the future. Our students support our teams in a variety of different work areas, and we are committed to nurturing their academic journeys, helping them develop new skills, and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Today, we are proud to spotlight two inspiring success stories from our employees that exemplify the transformative journey from student to full-time professional: Jaydip Kapadiya joined our team as a master’s thesis student and transitioned to a full-time role as textile engineer. His academic background in textile engineering, coupled with a strong commitment to innovation, made him an ideal fit for our projects focused on textile and paper development. Busra Karka started as a working student in our battery R&D team while completing her degree in chemistry. Her passion for innovation and her ability to contribute to our research quickly made her an invaluable asset to our team. She recently transitioned to R&D synthesis technician full-time. These stories remind us that the path from student to professional is filled with potential and possibilities. Together, let’s continue to create opportunities that empower these talented individuals to thrive in their educational journeys and beyond! #InternationalStudentsDay #SuccessStories #CareerJourney #Inspiration #careerdevelopment
