Porous Power Appoints NEPTCO as Its Exclusive Distribution Partner In China And Southeast Asia for SYMMETRIX®, The Battery Separators That Have Captured The Electric Vehicle Industry's Attention

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S.-based Porous Power Technologies, LLC has selected NEPTCO Corporation to distribute its award-winning SYMMETRIX® battery separators in China and Southeast Asia. The 9^th China International Battery Fair (CIBF) in Shenzhen, China will mark the official launch of the SYMMETRIX product line in Asia.

“NEPTCO has a proven track record selling similar products into the electronics industry in Asia and other parts of the world. Their in-depth familiarity with the properties and functionality of SYMMETRIX and their notable sales and distribution capabilities in Asia make them an ideal distribution partner.”

“Chinese battery manufacturers have expressed particular interest in SYMMETRIX’ low-temperature performance, high porosity and improved safety,” says Frank Conti, VP Sales & Marketing at NEPTCO.

Cells built with SYMMETRIX deliver higher power under a wider range of temperature conditions. High porosity reduces internal ionic resistance so that battery cells generate less heat and deliver more power for the application. This lower heat generation, combined with SYMMETRIX’ unique PVDF polymer composition, results in significantly safer batteries.

NEPTCO has served as Porous Power’s licensed manufacturing partner in North America since 2008. According to Porous Power’s CEO Tim Feaver, “NEPTCO has a proven track record selling similar products into the electronics industry in Asia and other parts of the world. Their in-depth familiarity with the properties and functionality of SYMMETRIX and their notable sales and distribution capabilities in Asia make them an ideal distribution partner.”

The two companies will staff the NEPTCO booth together at CIBF in Shenzhen, June 24 through 26. Battery manufacturers and media representatives are cordially invited to stop by booth 1E215-1E216 to learn more about this new battery separator technology. SYMMETRIX’ expanding product line now includes three variations of its HPX enhanced safety separator.
