Battery Separators

The PVC battery separator was developed

for the first time in India under the brand

name MICROTEX with their own know

how and with indigenously designed

machinery 31 years ago. Since then the

pioneers of the industry, have produced

several million MICROTEX separators

every year.

MICROTEX PVC separators are

manufactured by MICROTEX

SEPARATORS LTD., who have a well

established manufacturing unit over a

two and half acres plot of land in Peenya

Industrial Area, Bangalore.

The plant and machinery comprise sintering machines and other electrical installations, with own captive power generators, for the smooth and automatic production of over a hundred million separators per annum, the largest and most renowned manufacturers of PVC separators in India. PVC battery separators are micro porous diaphragms placed between the negative and positive plates of lead acid batteries to prevent any contact between them to avoid internal short circuit but at the same time allow free circulation of the electrolyte, as they are micro porous.

The main typical characteristics of MICROTEX PVC separators are:

Quality:

MICROTEX PVC separator are uniform in quality, free from holes, broken corners, splits, embedded foreign material, surface rupture, physical defects, etc.

Characteristics:

MICROTEX PVC separators have a very low electrical resistance which reduces internal loss saving on electric energy and improving battery performance. Their high porosity ensures easy diffusion of electrolyte and movement of ions guaranteeing battery performance even at high discharge rates. Being completely non reactive to acids, active metals and emitted gases, MICROTEX PVC separators enhance the active life of the battery.

PVC separators surpass IS specifications IS: 6071 1986 and have been tested and certified by the Central Electro Chemical Research Institute, CSIR, Chennai to be within IS specifications.

MICROTEX PVC separators are manufactured in both standard and custom sizes for automotive and industrial battery application. Every separator produced is visually inspected before being packed. Physical and chemical testing is done batch wise at CECRI CSIR, Chennai. Routine checks made at key stages along the manufacturing process maintain MICROTEX separators' constant high quality

MICROTEX separators, combining the outstanding characteristics of low electric resistance, chemical cleanliness, higher porosity, Low pore size, superior corrosive resistance and with minimum level of oxidizable organics, make themselves extremely usable for automobile, traction, stationary, train lighting and all other lead acid batteries.

MICROTEX separators have proven themselves over 31 years of use. Three decades of experience and modern production methods and facilities have made MICROTEX the leading battery separator supplier in India. The key to their leading position in the separator industry is technological innovation, quality and service.
