Abstract: A separator for secondary batteries that allows the amount of a dispersing resin that is used and the amount of a dispersant that is used to be reduced in order to prevent an increase in resistance after the separator is coated, which occurs in the case in which a large amount of the dispersing resin is used in order to disperse inorganic matter, and an electrochemical device having the same applied thereto. The amount of a dispersing resin is reduced, whereby it is possible to prevent an increase in resistance after a porous separator is coated, a dispersing resin having a specific weight average molecular weight is mixed, whereby physical properties and dispersivity are improved, and the use of an expensive dispersant is excluded, whereby processing costs are reduced.
