An alkaline battery separator comprising an alkali-resistance synthetic fiber, a fibrillated organic solvent-spun cellulose fiber having a Canadian standard freeness value of 10 to 280 ml, and a mercerized pulp having a Canadian standard freeness value of not less than 550 ml is prepared. In the separator, the proportion of the alkali-resistance synthetic fiber, the proportion of the fibrillated organic solvent-spun cellulose fiber, and the proportion of the mercerized pulp relative to the total amount of the separator are respectively 25 to 62% by mass, 5 to 25% by mass, and 33 to 50% by mass, provided that the total amount of the separator is 100% by mass. The alkali-resistance synthetic fiber may comprise a polyvinyl alcohol-series fiber having an average fiber fineness of not more than 1 dtex. The alkaline battery separator may further comprise a polyvinyl alcohol-series binder in a proportion of 3 to 20% by mass relative to the total amount of the separator. The alkaline battery separator of the present invention may have a shrinkage by the of not more than 3.5% after immersing in an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide having a concentration of 40% by mass at 80°C for 24 hours and a stiffness strength of not less than 2 N. |
