LifeMat® wet laid glass non-woven solutions help manufacturers improve the performance and lifespan of batteries. Pasting Mat is for use in flooded lead-acid batteries for stop-start engines. Retainer Mat is for heavy duty and deep cycle batteries.
PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES
DESIGNED FOR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (PASTING MAT)
• Excellent corrosion resistance with very low electrical resistance (<17mΩ/mm2).
• Minimal effect on cold cranking due to the low electrical resistance.
EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE (PASTING MAT)
• Re-enforces the positive active mass at the surface while preventing positive active mass shedding.
• Exceptional oxidation resistance provides additional protection throughout the lifetime of the battery.
EASE OF USE (PASTING MAT)
• LifeMat® is pasted onto/into the positive active mass where upon drying/curing a very strong bond is formed eliminating the need for pasting paper.
• Easy to cut and compatible with continuous pasting processes.
• Easily applicable in continuous pasting process.
COST OPTIMIZATION (PASTING MAT)
• No investment or modification of the equipment/process is needed.
• Cost optimization through eliminating the need for cellulosic pasting paper.
• Different porosities are available to match individual paste recipe.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE (RETAINER MAT)
• Reinforces the positive active mass at the plate surface to preventing shedding.
• Oxidation Resistance -- Protects the separator for exceptional oxidation resistance throughout the lifetime of the battery.
• Vibration Resistance -- promotes vibration resistance for the battery compartment.
• Instantaneous wet-out – enables smooth processing and less down time.
