Uses
Ethylene Carbonate is a material for the production of lithium batteries and capacitor electrolytes in the electronics industry. Its electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries can improve the conductivity of the electrolyte and enhance the overall performance of the battery.
EC solvent has excellent performance for polyvinyl chloride and polyacryloni-trile. It is also as a plastic foam, synthetic lubricants stabilizer and a material of polycarbonat which is a versatile and durable thermoplastic.
