Ion-exchange membrane
An ion-exchange membrane including a porous unstretched polyethylene sheet in which fine pores are piercing, the pores being filled with an ion-exchange resin. The ion-exchange membrane exhibits excellent concentration property.
1. An ion-exchange membrane including a porous unstretched polyethylene sheet that has a thickness of 50 to 250 μm and a porosity of 30 to 80% and in which fine pores are piercing, said pores being filled with an ion-exchange resin.
2. The ion-exchange membrane according to claim 1 , wherein said porous unstretched polyethylene sheet has tensile elongations of not less than 450% in both the lengthwise direction (MD) and the axial direction (TD).
3. The ion-exchange membrane according to claim 1 , wherein said ion-exchange resin is obtained by filling said pores with a polymerizable composition for forming the ion-exchange resin followed by the polymerization of said polymerizable composition.
