LiPF₆
High-performance LiPF6 electrolyte salt
Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) is a critical component of virtually all Li-Ion batteries produced today.
As the most used lithium salt, LiPF6 contributes to the conductivity, thermal and electrochemical stability of the electrolyte that determines the overall performance of a Li-Ion battery.
Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials’ vertical integration to fluorspar, a critical mineral, enables resilient supply chain for our customers. Combining fluorine and industrial process expertise, we have developed a high-performance LiPF6 salt.
With no current large-scale production of LiPF6in North America today, Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials is moving forward constructing its first production facility with the capability to produce up to 10,000MT of LiPF6 annually.
The new LiPF6 production will be constructed in St. Gabriel, LA on the grounds of Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials’ existing fluorochemical production site.

| LIPF6 PROPERTY | ORBIA F&EM | OTHERS |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | Fewer impurities | High metal content / High acid content |
| Powder properties | Uniform crystal size | Crystal size is uneven. Lots of fine powder |
| Flowability | Material flows well | Hoppers clog |
| Filterability | No filter clogging | High insoluble. Filter clogged |
| Stability | Less variation per lot. Traceable manufacturing | Significant variability |
