  • Publication number: 20230369689
    Abstract: An exterior material for power storage devices which is formed from at least a layered body comprising a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-fusible resin layer in this order, wherein the base material layer contains a resin film, the resin film has a shrinkage ratio of 1.0% to less than 5.0% when immersed in hot water at 95° C. for 30 minutes, and the resin film has a stress value, at 10% stretching in the tensile test described hereafter, of 100 MPa or higher in both the machine direction and the transverse direction. After storing a sample in a 23° C., 40% RH environment for 24 hours, the tensile test is performed under conditions of a sample width of 6 mm, a gauge length of 35 mm, and a tension rate of 300 mm/min in a 23° C., 40% RH environment, and the stress value at 10% stretching (displacement of 3.5 mm) is measured.

  • Patent number: 11426986
    Abstract: A packaging material for batteries, which is not susceptible to warping, while having excellent formability. A packaging material for batteries is configured from a laminate that is sequentially provided at least with one or more substrate layers, a barrier layer, a cured resin layer and a thermally fusible resin layer in this order. At least one of the substrate layers is formed of a polybutylene terephthalate film; and the value (X/Y) which is obtained by dividing the puncture strength X (N) of the laminate by the thickness Y (?m) of the polybutylene terephthalate film, the puncture strength X (N) being determined by piercing the laminate from the substrate layer side by a method that complies with the prescription of JIS Z1707 (1997), is 1.02 N/?m or more.
