Batteries for electronic devices
Electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD)
EMD is used in the production of dry cells and soft ferrites. Tosoh
EMD, produced in Japan and Greece, meets the most demanding requirements
of electronics manufacturers throughout the world. Tosoh has the
largest battery-grade EMD capacity in the world.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
Electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD)
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are expected to become mainstream in
electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and other eco-vehicles. The lithium
manganese oxide (LMO) used for their cathodes demonstrates superb safety
because of its stable chemical structure. EMD is one of the raw
materials used in producing LMO.
Electronic parts and tools
Yttria-stabilized zirconia powders
Tosoh is the world’s largest supplier of
yttria-stabilized powders that
go into high quality products. Zirconia's superior mechanical
properties, high fracture strength and resistance to abrasion make it
essential for robust machine parts, electronic parts and tools, and
optical fiber connectors.
High-performance polymer for automotive electronics
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
Tosoh
polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is uniquely engineered to combine
many of the best properties of plastics and metals, and has therefore
found automotive applications in the fabrication of lighting components,
emission control components, and fuel system parts.
