20,000 mt Annual Output! Tinci Materials Indonesia Electrolyte Project Expected to Begin Trial Production by Year-End

Published: Oct 16, 2026 08:42 (GMT+8)
According to Tinci Materials (002709), construction of the electrolyte project in Indonesia is being accelerated. It is expected to enter trial production in December 2026. As the first lithium-ion battery electrolyte project in the park, the project is being advanced by PT Tinci Materials Indonesia, with a planned annual capacity of 20,000 mt of lithium-ion battery electrolyte. It will supplement key material support for the battery industry chain in the park and further enhance Tinci Materials' localized supply capability in Southeast Asia.

According to Tinci Materials (002709), construction of the electrolyte project in Indonesia is being accelerated. Trial production is expected to begin in December 2026. As the first lithium-ion battery electrolyte project in the park, the project is being advanced by PT Tinci Materials Indonesia, with a planned annual capacity of 20,000 mt of lithium-ion battery electrolyte. It will add key material support to the park's battery industry chain and further strengthen Tinci Materials' localised supply capability in Southeast Asia.

Tinci Materials stated that, from global footprint to local service, the Indonesia project is an important step for the company to get closer to regional clients and improve its supply system outside China. Leveraging the park's industry chain support, the project will enhance collaboration with local upstream and downstream enterprises, converting the company's R&D and industrialisation expertise in the electrolyte field into local service capability, and providing regional clients with more timely product supply and technical support. The company will accelerate project construction and trial production preparations, responding to Southeast Asian market demand with high-grade products and localised services, and further improving its global production and service network.

In terms of overseas bases, following the groundbreaking of the North America plant and the commencement of the Morocco project, Tinci Materials officially launched its electrolyte project in cooperation with Thailand's EA Group in June this year, marking another expansion of the company's globalisation strategy.

[SMM Cobalt Morning Meeting Summary] Weak Demand and Falling Costs Keep Industry Chain Prices Under Pressure and Hitting Bottom
The industry chain remained weak this week, with insufficient demand and lower costs jointly weighing on prices. Refined cobalt fell below 250,000 yuan/mt, and smelter quotes may see further downward adjustments. Intermediate product trading stalled, with buyers and sellers staying on the sidelines. The cobalt sulphate market shifted to a buyer-dominated phase, with downstream target prices dropping to 46,000-48,000 yuan/mt, while high inventory costs kept price disagreements unresolved. Cobalt chloride and Co3O4 saw production cuts and destocking, with new purchases insufficient. Cobalt powder quotes fell to 330,000-340,000 yuan/mt, and cemented carbide demand recovered slowly. Ternary cathode precursor prices weakened, with export orders moderate and domestic demand diverging. Ternary cathode material was dragged down by falling raw material prices and order reductions, with October production schedules expected to remain flat MoM. LCO cost support weakened, end-user restocking was cautious, and prices still had downside. Overall, just-in-time procurement was unlikely to reverse the weakness, and stabilization would still require actual order improvement. In news, September EV and ESS battery sales rose 52% YoY, with new progress in corporate earnings and overseas project construction.
