Product Overview

LB-5 is a sodium lignosulfonate battery expander made from purified kraft pine lignin and an alternative to the Borregaard Vanisperse series. As the organic expander in the negative plate of lead-acid batteries, it delivers reliable cold starts at −10 °C to −18 °C, longer cycle life and low self-discharge.

Challenges in Lead-Acid Batteries

  • Reduced battery capacity over time
  • Poor cold-start performance in low temperatures
  • High self-discharge rates
  • Short cycle life

How LB-5 Solves These Problems

  • Alternative to the Borregaard Vanisperse series, with better value
  • Improves battery capacity and stability
  • Reliable cold starts at −10 °C to −18 °C
  • Low-impurity formulation reduces self-discharge
  • Extends cycle life

Key Benefits

  • Vanisperse Alternative
    Replaces the Borregaard Vanisperse series
  • Cold-Start Performance
    Reliable starts at −10 °C to −18 °C
  • Longer Cycle Life
    Less degradation over repeated cycles
  • Ultra-Low Impurity
    Low self-discharge, stable performance

Applications

  • Automotive SLI batteries
  • Motive power batteries (forklifts, traction)
  • Energy storage systems (ESS)
  • Industrial batteries
