Structure and properties of ultra-fine glass fiber separators This kind of separator is composed of ultra-fine glass fibers with a diameter of 0.5~4um without any organic binder. The non-compressed glass fiber paper is made by the papermaking method, and its structure is multi-layered mat-like, and relatively small and high labyrinth free channels are formed by disordered glass fibers. The separator has significantly better performance than ordinary battery separators in many aspects.

In the 1950s, starting batteries mainly used wooden separators. Because they had to be used in wet conditions, the negative plates were easily oxidized, and the initial charging time was long, and they could not be used for dry-charged lead batteries. In particular, wooden separators are not resistant to oxidation and corrosion in sulfuric acid, resulting in short battery life. In order to improve the life of lead-acid batteries, it is proposed to use wood separators and glass wool as separators, which doubles the life of the battery, but the internal resistance of the battery increases, which has an adverse effect on the battery capacity and starting discharge, and can also meet the standard requirements at that time.

Ultra-fine fiberglass separator At present, ultra-fine glass fiber separator (AGM) is commonly used in VRLA batteries. The wettability is the main characteristic of the separator capable of adsorbing the maximum amount of electrolyte. The separator must have long-term stable chemical and electrochemical corrosion resistance in the battery, it must not release any substances that increase the gas evolution rate, corrosion or self-discharge, and it must have good tensile strength to ensure that the separator is in the battery. will not be punctured by sharp edges or small particles during production assembly.
