ABSTRACT:
An acid-neutralizing battery mat is produced that is useful in preventing or reducing corrosion caused by leaking batteries. The mat is placed underneath a wet cell storage battery and is designed to absorb and neutralize acid which may escape from the battery. The mat is comprised of a porous fibrous base material of needled polypropylene felt which is impregnated with an alkaline substance and a polymer binder. The mat has a sufficient absorbency so that as the acid reaches the mat, it is disbursed throughout a wide area and neutralized by the alkaline substance. The dimensions of the mat are such that a portion of the mat extends beyond at least one bottom edge of the battery. The mat not only protects against acid induced corrosion but also protects the environment from acid contaminants.
