Pasting Materials

The pasting material is laminated onto the electrodes. The functions of the pasting material are to

• prevent lead dust in the workshop
• prevent shedding of the electrode

Key benefits: 

• Protection of electrode from dusting: owing to excellent adhesion of the media
• Rapid cellulose dissolution: due to pure cellulose pasting media
• Minimum ionic resistivity: attributable to open glass media
• Superior manufacturing efficiency: on account of excellent wicking properties

Absorbent Glass Mat Media (AGM)

The Absorbent Glass Mat is a microglass separator for energy storage applications. The separator allows hydrogen ions to move from the anode to the cathode with minimal resistance.  It can also “store” hydrogen ions when the battery is not in use to allow a rapid restart and to prevent the anode and cathode from being in contact.

Key benefits: 

• Excellent product uniformity for homogeneous ions transfer
• Excellent fiber selection and dispersion: state-of-the-art for specific surface
  area (BET)
• Enhanced battery cycle life: Improved dry compression recovery reduces vibration and minimizes electrode decay
• Excellent wicking properties support reliable manufacturing efficiency
• Maximised performance due to minimal ionic contamination ensures maximal performance

Separator Reinforcement Mat

The Separator Reinforcement Mat meets the market requirements of high dimensional stability, controlled fibrous structure for a low resistivity, fast acid absorption and wicking for rapid battery fill. Plus low ionic contamination.

Key benefits: 

• Industry low acid weight loss, resulting in less organic contaminations
• Improved stability of the separator: attributable to the excellent dimensional stability of the media
• Superior battery efficiency: on account of excellent fiber dispersion
• Superior manufacturing efficiency: due to excellent mechanical properties
