“Natron and Arxada have worked extremely hard to reach our goal of 600 MW of annual production capacity and we are thrilled to have achieved this milestone together. We are pleased to have partnered with Natron to enable high-volume production of battery grade Prussian blue materials to fuel global deployments of this critical and innovative battery technology.”

Leveraging over a century of fine chemicals production experience, Arxada has expanded its existing facility to produce these battery grade materials to Natron’s specifications. “Arxada’s supply of Prussian blue to Natron marks our entry into the electrodes for battery materials market, as part of our strategy to help our customers develop cleaner, greener and more efficient solutions across a broad spectrum of end markets.

The facility has successfully completed trial runs and has begun manufacturing products.Īntje Gerber, President of Arxada’s Specialty Products Solutions business, said: Through a highly collaborative process, Arxada has expanded its existing Visp facility for the high-volume production of these battery grade Prussian blue materials. Natron batteries do not require mined ore or rare minerals, removing these carbon intensive feedstocks from our products and reducing strain on industrial customer ESG compliance initiatives. Natron’s battery grade Prussian blue material can be manufactured at high volume and low cost in existing fine chemicals plants.

This composition results in breakthrough battery performance, allowing full charge and discharge in minutes for tens of thousands of cycles. Battery grade Prussian blue has a unique chemical composition that is different from the common pigment utilized in blue jeans and paint. Natron is the world leader in sodium-ion batteries based on their patented Prussian blue technology, and the only company shipping UL-listed sodium-ion products in the marketplace today. The initiation of Prussian blue production by Arxada follows the supply agreement between Arxada and Natron announced in Q1 2021. The world-class production facility will immediately begin supplying Natron with materials to produce up to 600 MW battery capacity annually. (“Natron”), the global leader in manufacturing of sodium-ion batteries, and Arxada AG ("Arxada"), a global leader in innovative specialty chemicals, today announce the successful initiation of the large-scale production of battery-grade Prussian blue at Arxada’s facility in Visp, Switzerland.
