Abstract
A precipitated silica suitable for use in lead-acid battery separators having a good balance between mechanical properties and electrical resistivity. In particular, a precipitated silica characterised by a DOA oil absorption equal to or greater than 200 mL/100 g; a median aggregate size D50M equal to or lower than 8.7 μm and equal to or greater than a parameter A whose value, expressed in microns, is calculated from equation (I): A=23.3−0.076×|DOA|, wherein |DOA| represents the numerical value of the DOA oil absorption expressed in mL/100 g.
