Abstract

A microporous polyolefin multilayer film which is used as a separator for a battery is a 3 layer microporous film which is prepared by a wet process to have both surface layers containing polyethylene of 95 wt % or more having a melting temperature of 125° C. or higher, and an inner layer containing polypropylene of 50 to 90 wt % having a melting temperature of 160° C. or higher and polyethylene of 10 to 50 wt % having a melting temperature of 125° C. or higher. A thickness of the film is 9-50/M, a puncture strength is 0.15N//M or more, a permeability is 1.5×10 −5 Darcy or more, a multiplication of the puncture strength and the permeability is 0.4×10 −5 Darcy·N/μm or more, a shrinkage in a transverse direction at 120° C. for 1 hour is 15% or less, and a melt fracture temperature of 160° C. or higher.

Claims (8)

1. A microporous polyolefin multilayer film

comprising an inner layer made of a resin mixture containing polypropylene of 50-90 wt % having a melting temperature of 160° C. or higher and polyethylene of 10-50 wt % having a melting temperature of 125° C. to 135° C. and a surface layer formed on both surfaces of the inner layer, made of a resin mixture containing polyethylene of 95% or more having a melting temperature of 125° C. or higher,

wherein a thickness of the film is 9-50 μm, a puncture strength is 0.15N/μm or more, a permeability is 1.5×10 −5 Darcy or more, a multiplication of the puncture strength and the permeability is 0.4×10 −5 Darcy·N/μm or more, a shrinkage in a transverse direction at 120° C. for 1 hour is 15% or less, and a melt fracture temperature of 160° C. or higher.

2. A microporous polyolefin multilayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the film is 9-30 μm, the puncture strength is 0.2N/μm or more, the permeability is 2.5×10 −5 to 12.0×10 −5 Darcy, and the shrinkage in a transverse direction at 120° C. for 1 hour is 10% or less.

3. A microporous polyolefin multilayer film prepared by the method according to claim 1 , wherein a surface layer is made of polyethylene having a melting temperature of 125° C. or higher, and

wherein the thickness of the film is 9-30 μm, the puncture strength is 0.2N/μm or more, the permeability is 2.5×10 −5 to 12.0×10 −5 Darcy, and the shrinkage in a transverse direction at 120° C. for 1 hour is 10% or less.

4. A microporous polyolefin multilayer film prepared by the method according to claim 1 , wherein a sum of each thickness of the surface layers is 50% or more of an total thickness, and a thickness of the inner layer is or more, and

wherein the thickness of the film is 9-30 μm, the puncture strength is 0.2 N/μm or more the permeability is 2.5×10 −5 to 12.0×10 −5 Darcy, and the shrinkage in a transverse direction at 120° C. for 1 hour is 10% or less.
