  • Publication number: 20230282943
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nonwoven fabric separator which has excellent ion permeability. The present invention provides a nonwoven fabric separator which contains a polyolefin-based nonwoven fabric, wherein the permeability parameters expressed by formulae (1) and (2) are satisfied. (1): |Pmax|?38.5 dB (2): Tmax?11.5 minutes (In the formulae, both Pmax and Tmax are parameters each indicating a permeability, and Pmax shows the attenuation degree of ultrasound transmission in a state where the nonwoven fabric separator is filled with water, while Tmax shows the time until the nonwoven fabric separator is filled with water.

  • Publication number: 20220097342
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a non-woven fabric for a sterilization packaging material, the non-woven fabric being capable of being compatible with all sterilization treatment methods and maintaining a sterile state in the interior without breaking even in a variety of environments in which the non-woven fabric can be assumed to be used as a sterilization packaging material; and a non-woven fabric for a sterilization packaging material, the non-woven fabric achieving both easy-peel properties that enable easy handling without breakage and barrier properties for retaining the sterile state in the interior. The non-woven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to the present invention is characterized in having, as an obverse-layer heat seal surface, a fiber layer (I) that has a void ratio of 30-60% inclusive, and having, as a barrier layer, a fiber layer (II) that has a fiber specific surface area ranging from 1.

  • Patent number: 11117725
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel packaging material for sterilization which has processing suitability as a packaging material, is compatible with all sterilization processing methods such as those performed under high-temperature conditions, has small variation in shapes and dimensions, and is capable of maintaining an internal sterilized condition. This packaging material for sterilization is configured from at least two layers of laminated non-woven fabrics comprising a non-woven fabric layer (I) formed of continuous long fibers having an average fiber diameter of 5-30 ?m and a non-woven fabric layer (II) formed of ultra-fine fibers having an average fiber diameter of 0.1-4 ?m.

  • Patent number: 10700325
    Abstract: A nonwoven fabric separator for a lead storage battery includes a nonwoven fabric configured with regenerated fibers or synthetic fibers. The nonwoven fabric is composed of a recycled fiber or synthetic fiber having a relationship between the average pore diameter (D) of the nonwoven fabric separator and the number of pores (N) that satisfies the following equation: 1.0×102<D*N<1.0×104. The nonwoven fabric separator includes at least two layers which are integrated.
