The four-day 2025 International Battery Seminar opens today (March 17^th) in Orlando, Florida and among exhibitors taking part is Freudenberg Performance Materials at stand 103.

The company is presenting its range of separators for increasing the cycle-life, performance and safety of batteries in stationary energy storage systems, as well as those used in transportation, communications and computer systems. The range is tailored for, among others, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-zinc, nickel-hydrogen, metal-air and lead-acid batteries.

The company’s latest unique surface finishing technology provides electrolyte absorption as well as increasing speed. It can be combined with a variety of other finishes to versatile nonwoven technologies for custom-made separators meeting the needs of energy storage system manufacturers and other battery manufacturers in the aviation, rail vehicle construction or computer systems sectors. Freudenberg has the broadest range of nonwoven technologies in the industry, including wetlaid, drylaid and spunbond processes. These are emploed to tailor material homogeneity and uniformity, electrolyte absorption, wicking rate, air permeability, thickness and tensile strength.

With production sites on several continents, Freudenberg can manufacture locally and offer major battery manufacturers optimal service.

In addition to their primary function of separating the electrode and cathode, Freudenberg separators form an electrolyte reservoir in the battery and contribute to enhancing battery functionality, self-discharge and durability. They also help to prevent short circuits by avoiding dendrite growth.
