Valued for its lightweight properties, magnesium is widely used in automotive and aerospace alloys. It also plays an important role in advanced battery technologies, especially magnesium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries. Umicore uses high-quality magnesium compounds in our VALIREX line to make a product that helps PVB films stick properly. This is used to make strong and safe laminated glass, often found in car windshields and safety windows.
