MICROPOROUS HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE FILM AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a microporous high density polyethylene film for a battery separator and a method of producing the same. The microporous high density polyethylene film includes high density polyethylene with a weight average molecular weight of 2x10 to less than 5x10 , containing 5 wt % or less molecule with a molecular weight of 1x 10 or less. The microporous high density polyethylene film has tensile strengths of 1, 100 kg/cm or more in transverse and machine directions respectively, a puncture strength of 0.22 N/D or more, a gas permeability (Darcy's permeability constant) of 1.3x 10 Darcy or more, and shrinkages of 5 % or less in machine and transverse directions, respectively. Particularly, the microporous high density polyethylene film has an excellent extrusion-compoundabiliy and stretchability and a high productivity, and can improve the performances and stability of a battery produced using the same.
