Y.N Chemical research

Thought I would look into Y.N Chemical co. and the mentioned LiPF6 Electrolyte from the sales contract announcement which I believe is a headen gem from management.

Here are some snippets of information that I found, looking forward to seeing what else is out there.

Lithium salt(LiPF6), an important element of electrolyte, is supplied by three Japanese enterprises that accounts for approximately 80% of the supply, and Foosung is the only Korean supplier that supplies Lithium salt(LiPF6) in the Korean market. Additives are added during the process of producing electrolyte to create SEI protective layer, anti-overcharge and improve electronic conducting productivity. (Known as secondary battery) Japanese suppliers occupy most of the additive market share, and Leechem and other suppliers of Korea supply additives to the market.

Foosung is a pretty big player in this space with major accounts such as Samsung, Kia, Hyundai and LG.

Electrolyte is comprised of solvents, lithium salt and additives. According to the characteristics of the product, electrolyte is to be developed jointly with the lithium-ion secondary battery manufacturer. (Foosung being the manufacturer in Korea)
