3 Product classification
Propylene carbonate for industrial use is classified into Extra-pure Grade (Grade S), Cell Grade and Industrial Grade according to its application. Extra-pure Grade (Grade S) is mainly used in power battery industry; Cell Grade is mainly used as the cleaning agent for ordinary lithium ion batteries and electronic products; and Industrial Grade is mainly used as solvent, grease additive, raw materials for organic synthesis, etc.
