MOLECULAR REBAR®: Performance, Process, and Synergy With Other Additives
Paul Everrill, CTO, Black Diamond Structures, United States

MOLECULAR REBAR® detangled carbon nanotube products have been a part of the lead-acid battery industry for over a decade, helping manufacturers to reach their goals, reduce their costs, and design the next generation of batteries. Batteries featuring our products can be found on store shelves in North America, powering eRickshaws in India and Bangladesh, delivering market-leading EFB performance in South Africa, supporting advanced traction designs in Europe and the Middle East, and powering thousands of cars, trucks, and motorcycles in South America. Our products are commercially validated (TRL9), scaled, and continue to support the innovation of our partners. During our presentation, Black Diamond Structures will share our latest product updates and new customers testimonials. Firstly, we plan to share mechanistic details of our latest product, PbLite , which was formulated as a process additive to enhance manufacturing output and decease waste production. PbLite builds on years of observations from the field where operators noted the ease of processing and heightened plate output triggered by our traditional performance products. With PbLite , we were able to separate the process improving aspects of MOLECULAR REBAR® from its performance improving aspects. The new additive is cost negative, generating revenue for the manufacture in minutes by returning more plate value than the cost of the material. PbLite is a critical product which can help manufacturers increase their output, revenue, and competitiveness versus other companies and chemistries. Secondly, we plan to share our development of MOLECULAR REBAR® products for BESS and provide details on its mechanism for this green-technology critical application which may define the future of the lead-acid battery industry. Thirdly, we plan to provide brief updates on our AUX and traction products. Black Diamond Structures cordially invites you to join us as we share our most recent products, data, and innovations.
