A key component of an automobile, the lead-acid battery is supported by a separator that meets the electrification needs of starting, lighting, and ignition and idle start-stop vehicles. The profile design plays an important part in the spacing of components in lead-acid batteries.
For more than 85 years, Daramic is the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of battery separators to the lead acid battery industry. As the inventor of the first polyethylene separator, Daramic delivers the products our customers need today - and innovate the solutions that serve their needs tomorrow.
The STC Battery Breaking and Separation system is designed to treat lead acid batteries and to separate all the main components, each one with the lowest amount of impurities: Electrolyte: to be collected after initial battery crushing, separately stored and possibly processed inside an Electrolyte Treatment Unit or in the desulphurization unit;
DuraLife ® is a new, high performance polyethylene battery separator specially designed for starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) lead-acid batteries. DuraLife’s patented design significantly improves battery performance, improves efficiency and yield during battery assembly, and reduces puncture shorts. Daramic® EFS™
These modern separators prevent short circuits, enhance ion conduction, and provide thermal stability. They are now essential in various applications, from lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries to electric vehicles and portable electronics. The performance, safety, and longevity of a battery largely depend on the quality of its separator.
However, separators are facing increasing challenges due to the rapid advancements in battery technology. Emerging innovations, such as solid-state electrolytes, which are currently in the R&D stage, are being explored as potential alternatives to traditional separators, offering even greater efficiency and safety.
