3. OC glass nonwovens for lead-acid batteries
Glass veil increases battery life time by reinforcing the positive electrode to prevent it from shedding
Positive negative
electrode electrode
Separator with ribs
Glass Veil
Glass veil used as
Retainer mat:
Inserted and compressed between electrode and separator surface
Pasting mat :
Embedded in the plate surface during its manufacturing

4. Glass nonwoven applications in lead-acid batteries
Retainer mat
Glass nonwoven inserted between positive electrode and separator
Glued to the separator or inserted during battery assembly (inline pocketing)
Faces the positive electrode to prevent shedding => increase lifetime of the battery
Main market : heavy duty and industrial batteries
Separator with glued glass retainer

6. Glass nonwoven applications in lead-acid batteries
Pasting mat
Applied directly onto the electrode during continuous plate pasting (expanded or punched grids), thus the glass is embedded and becomes integral part of the plate
Embedding in the plate surface
avoids gas entrapment
no increase of internal resistance
Makes pasting paper redundant
Improved cycling behavior => increased lifetime
Main market : automotive micro-hybrid batteries
Electrode with embedded glass pasting mat
