Hi-Sep TM

Battery Performance System©

The Hi-Sep™ engineered composite separator

system is designed as an alternative to currently
used PVC and PE & SPG separators in SLI, Traction
& Stationary/UPS batteries. The Hi-Sep™ system is
unique in that it results in a quantum leap in battery
performance in the following areas:

Battery life enhancement by a large margin

Better cranking in all weather condition

Low water consumption

Hi-Sep USP Table

Parameter Hi-Sep Advantage PVC*/ PE*/ Hi-Sep

Pore Size Lower pore size reduces chances of battery failure due to PVC: up to 50 µ
dendrite growth. PE: 0.2µ
Hi-Sep: 6-9 µ
Volume Porosity High porosity helps in better battery performance and lower PVC: 35-40 %
electrical resistance. This results in extremely good PE: 40-60%
performance in cold cranking. Hi-Sep: 70-75 %
Electrical Lowest among all tested separators. Helps in very good HRD PVC: 0.36 A cm2
Resistance performance. PE: 0.078 A cm2
Hi-Sep: 0.06 Ω cm2
Acid Displacement Extremely low acid displacement results in high electrolyte PVC: 415 ml/ m2
volumes available between plates for enhanced battery PE: 250 ml/ m2
performance. Hi-Sep: 150 ml/ m2
Electrochemical Highest among tested separators resulting in minimum failures PVC: 180 hours
oxidative life due to dendrite growth and oxidative degradation. PE: 314 hours
Hi-Sep: 910 hours
Rib-less Design Uniform pressure applied across the plate materials resulting in PVC: 1.5 mm
reduced active material shedding and reduced premature PE: 0.9 mm
capacity loss. Hi-Sep: 0.55 mm
Wicking High wicking action helps in avoiding plate and active material Unique to Hi-Sep
dry-out, thus maintaining the performance of the battery even
at low electrolyte levels.
Heat and Oxidation Hi-Sep has the highest resistance to oxidation, overcharge and Unique to Hi-Sep
Resistance temperature consequent to its uniquely engineered material
properties
Impurities No leachable impurities resulting in low self discharge. Unique to Hi-Sep

Physical Handling Not brittle resulting in no damage to separator during Unique to Hi-Sep
assembly, transportation and handling.

Pouchability Hi-Sep can be pouched in any high speed pouching lines and
forms a crimped seam of exceptional strength.

* This data reflects values obtained from market samples and in our test facilities as per BCIS and IS test methods.

The Hi-
Hi-Sep™ 3-in-
in-1 Advantage
Assembly Instructions for Hi-Sep:
For best results in battery performance please ensure good packing of Hi-Sep separators
against the plates as shown in picture below:

Advantage # 1: Battery Plate Life

PVC*(150 cycles) PE*(200 cycles) Hi-Sep(450 cycles)

Advantage # 2: Low Water Consumption

Experimental data and field trials indicate that Hi-Sep reduces

requirement of top-up water even in conventional batteries with
lead-antimony plates

Advantage # 3: High cranking power
