It is not just blending — it is a controlled mechanical process that stretches PTFE particles into a microscopic 3D fibril network that holds NMC, LFP, or graphite particles together without solvent. Too little shear and the binder never fibrillates; too much shear or too much heat and the fibrils break, the binder smears, or the active material degrades.
