Abstract

A packaging material for battery cases according to the present invention including a heat resistant resin oriented film layer 2 constituting an outer layer, a thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer 3 constituting an inner layer, and an aluminum foil layer 4 disposed between both the film layers is characterized in that as the heat resistant resin oriented film, a heat resistant resin oriented film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20% is used. With this packaging material, excellent formability can be secured without coating slip characteristics imparting components and sufficient volumetric energy density can be obtained.

Claims (54)

1. A battery case comprising

a packaging material for battery cases comprising:

a heat resistant resin oriented film layer constituting an outer layer;

a thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer constituting an inner layer; and

an aluminum foil layer disposed between the inner and outer layers,

wherein the heat resistant resin oriented film comprises a biaxially-oriented polyamide film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20%,

wherein the shrinkage percentage denotes a size change rate of a test piece in the oriented direction before and after the immersion of the test piece (10 cm×10 cm) of the biaxially oriented polyamide film in 95° C. hot water for 30 minutes, and can be obtained by the following equation, which is an average value of the size change rates in two oriented directions:

shrinkage percentage(%)={( X−Y )/ X}× 100

X: oriented directional size before the immersion treatment

Y: oriented directional size after the immersion treatment,

wherein a thickness of the biaxially-oriented polyamide film layer is 12 to 50 μm, a thickness of the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer is 20 to 80 μm and a thickness of the aluminum foil layer is 5 to 50 μm,

wherein the biaxially-oriented polyamide film layer and the aluminum foil layer are integrally laminated via a urethane series adhesive layer,

wherein the aluminum foil layer and the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer are integrally laminated via an acid-modified polyolefin adhesive layer, and

a deep drawing or stretch forming is performed on the packaging material for battery cases.

2. A battery case comprising:

a packaging material for battery cases comprising:

a heat resistant resin oriented film layer constituting an outer layer;

a thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer constituting an inner layer; and

an aluminum foil layer disposed between the inner and outer layers,

wherein the heat resistant resin oriented film comprises a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20%, wherein the shrinkage percentage denotes a size change rate of a test piece in the oriented direction before and after the immersion of the test piece (10 cm×10 cm) of the biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film in 95° C. hot water for 30 minutes, and can be obtained by the following equation, which is an average value of the size change rates in two oriented

directions:

shrinkage percentage(%)={( X−Y )/ X}× 100

X: oriented directional size before the immersion treatment

Y: oriented directional size after the immersion treatment,

wherein a thickness of the biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film layer is 12 to 50 μm, a thickness of the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer is 20 to 80 μm and a thickness of the aluminum foil layer is 5 to 50 μm,

wherein the biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film layer and the aluminum foil layer are integrally laminated via a urethane series adhesive layer, wherein the aluminum foil layer and the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer are integrally laminated via an acid-modified polyolefin adhesive layer, and

a deep drawing or stretch forming is performed on the packaging material for battery cases.

3. A battery case comprising:

a packaging material for battery cases comprising:

a heat resistant resin oriented film layer constituting an outer layer;

a thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer constituting an inner layer; and

an aluminum foil layer disposed between the inner and outer layers,

wherein the heat resistant resin oriented film comprises a biaxially-oriented polyethylene naphthalate film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20%,

wherein the shrinkage percentage denotes a size change rate of a test piece in the oriented direction before and after the immersion of the test piece (10 cm×10 cm) of the biaxially-oriented polyethylene naphthalate film in 95° C. hot water for 30 minutes, and can be obtained by the following equation, which is an average value of the size change rates in two oriented directions:

shrinkage percentage(%)={( X−Y )/ X}× 100

X: oriented directional size before the immersion treatment

Y: oriented directional size after the immersion treatment,

wherein a thickness of the biaxially-oriented polyethylene naphthalate film layer is 12 to 50 μm, a thickness of the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer is 20 to 80 μm and a thickness of the aluminum foil layer is 5 to 50 μm,

wherein the biaxially-oriented polyethylene naphthalate film layer and the aluminum foil layer are integrally laminated via a urethane series adhesive layer, wherein the aluminum foil layer and the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer are integrally laminated via an acid-modified polyolefin adhesive layer, and

a deep drawing or stretch forming is performed on the packaging material for battery cases.

4. A battery case comprising:

a packaging material for battery cases comprising:

a heat resistant resin oriented film layer constituting an outer layer;

a thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer constituting an inner layer; and

an aluminum foil layer disposed between the inner and outer layers,

wherein the heat resistant resin oriented film is a multiple layer comprising a plurality of films selected from a biaxially-oriented polyamide film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20%, a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20% and a biaxially-oriented polyethylene naphthalate film having a shrinkage percentage of 2 to 20%,

wherein the shrinkage percentage denotes a size change rate of a test piece in the oriented direction before and after the immersion of the test piece (10 cm×10 cm) of the heat resistant resin oriented film in 95° C. hot water for 30 minutes, and can be obtained by the following equation, which is an average value of the size change rates in two oriented directions:

shrinkage percentage(%)={( X−Y )/ X}× 100

X: oriented directional size before the immersion treatment

Y: oriented directional size after the immersion treatment,

wherein a thickness of the heat resistant resin oriented film layer is 12 to 50 μm, a thickness of the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer is 20 to 80 μm and a thickness of the aluminum foil layer is 5 to 50 μm,

wherein the heat resistant resin oriented film layer and

the aluminum foil layer are integrally laminated via a urethane series adhesive layer, wherein the aluminum foil layer and the thermoplastic resin non-oriented film layer are integrally laminated via an acid-modified polyolefin adhesive layer, and

a deep drawing or stretch forming is performed on the packaging material for battery cases.
