Abstract
Abstract A battery separator having a low electrical resistance after extended use is made by thermal consolidation and thermal embossing of a paper web formed from a furnish containing a synthetic pulp the fibrils of which are filled with an inorganic filler, the web incorporating a wetting agent which is preferably an organic sulphonate, and organic succinate, or a phenol ethoxylate.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A battery separator made from a paper web formed from a furnish containing a pulp mixture of which between 60 and 80% by dry weight comprises a synthetic polypropylene wood pulp with a barium sulphate filler, and of which the balance of said pulp mixture is a bleached sulphate natural wood pulp, said furnish also containing polyester staple fibres at a level of between 5 and 20% by dry weight of said pulp mixture; and said web having a phenol ethoxylate wetting agent incorporated therein whereby said web has improved electrical resistance, even after accelereted ageing, so that the electrical resistance of said web after immersion for 20 minutes in battery acid is no more than 300 m.ohms cm 2 , and the wetting agent is retained in said web to such an extent that after accelerated ageing the electrical resistance of said web after immersion for 20 minutes in battery acid is no greater than 300 m.ohms cm 2 .
