However, each of the above-mentioned conventional separators has the following problems. That is, in the case of a separator that does not use a binder, the inorganic powder tends to fall off during battery assembly, so that the assembly workability deteriorates. Further, in a separator in which fibers are combined with each other or fibers and inorganic powder by a water glass-like substance, it is necessary to disperse the fibers in water having a pH of 2.5 to 3.5 for a certain period of time. In addition, the separator is hard and brittle because the water glass-like substance made of an inorganic material is used as a binder, and the battery assembling workability is deteriorated. In addition, in a separator that does not use a polymer flocculant or an inorganic flocculant, the binding strength of the inorganic powder and various fiber materials in water is poor, so that the yield of the inorganic powder to the sheet during papermaking is poor, and severely, 20 to 40% by mass of the used inorganic powder passes through the papermaking wire and flows out into water.
Further, in a separator using a synthetic resin composed of synthetic pulp and synthetic fiber as a binder, the materials are strongly bonded to each other, so that the separator becomes hard as in the case of the above-mentioned separator, and the battery assembling workability deteriorates.

In the separator of the present invention, the use of a titanium-based inorganic coagulant containing titanyl sulfate as a main component provided excellent results in the yield of inorganic powder, which were almost equal to those of Comparative Example 3 (using cationic polyacrylamide). In addition, the loose bonding between the inorganic materials obtained by blending the inorganic coagulant prevents the inorganic powder from falling off from the separator during battery assembly. Further, since the pH at the time of papermaking is in the neutral range, there is no strong bond between inorganic materials due to the water glass-like substance.
%, Which indicates that the separator is soft.
Furthermore, in the separators of Examples 2 and 3 in which the adhesive synthetic fiber was blended, the brittleness was improved because the materials were bonded with an appropriate bonding force due to the flexibility and adhesiveness of the fiber, It is a strong and flexible separator.

As described above, the present invention relates to a sealed type lead-acid battery separator which is wet-mixed mainly with fine glass fibers and an inorganic material containing inorganic powder.
The use of an inorganic coagulant increases the bonding strength between inorganic powder and various fiber materials in water, improves the yield of inorganic powder on the sheet during papermaking, and flows out through the papermaking wire during papermaking. The amount of the inorganic powder to be formed can be suppressed. Furthermore, the loose bonding between the inorganic materials caused by the inorganic coagulant prevents the inorganic powder from falling off from the separator, and the separator does not become hard, so that the battery assembly workability can be improved. When an appropriate amount of the adhesive synthetic fiber is used in combination, that is, when the adhesive synthetic fiber is 5 to 3
In the case where 0% by mass is blended, in addition to the effect of improving the yield of the inorganic powder, the brittleness can be improved because the flexibility and adhesiveness of the adhesive synthetic fiber enable bonding between materials with an appropriate bonding force, A strong and flexible separator can be obtained. If the sealed lead storage battery separator of the present invention is applied to a battery as described above, battery assembly becomes easy, and
The inorganic powder blended in the separator has the effect of extending the battery life because it suppresses short circuits that occur when the battery is used.
