What Is a PVC Battery Separator?

A PVC battery separator is a porous insulating component manufactured primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin and specialty additives to electrically isolate the positive and negative plates inside a lead-acid battery while permitting the free movement of electrolyte ions. It provides excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, dimensional stability and long service life, contributing to improved battery efficiency and reliability. Owing to their excellent electrochemical performance and durability, PVC battery separators are extensively used in automotive batteries, industrial batteries, UPS systems, telecom batteries, motive power batteries and stationary energy storage applications.
