  • Publication number: 20210218108
    Abstract: A polyolefin composite porous membrane includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer contains a polypropylene (A), a first high-density polyethylene (B) having a melting point of 130° C. or higher, and a second high-density polyethylene (C) having a melting point of 120° C. or higher and lower than 130° C. The second layer contains a polyethylene (D). The first layer and the second layer are integrally laminated with each other.

  • Patent number: 10680224
    Abstract: A polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane is disclosed. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane has a low air permeability value, maintains high porosity and mechanical strength even when formed into a thin film. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane also has excellent impedance characteristics. The polyolefin multilayer microporous membrane has excellent battery characteristics when used as a battery separator.

  • Patent number: 9620766
    Abstract: Considering that battery separators will require further thinner materials and lower costs in the future, a battery separator of the present invention, in which multi-layer polyolefin porous membrane with exceptionally high peel strength against a modified porous layer, suitable for high-speed processing during slit process and battery assembly process, and suitable for laminating on a multi-layer modified porous layer, and a multi-layer modified porous layer are laminated, is provided. A multi-layer polyolefin porous membrane comprising at least two or more layers, the multi-layer polyolefin porous membrane having a shut-down temperature in a range of 128 to 135° C., a rate of increase in air permeation resistance from 30° C. to 105° C. scaled to 20 ?m thickness less than 1.5 sec/100 cc Air/° C., and a thickness not more than 20 ?m.
