Wet Process Lithium Battery Separator

Product Overview

Huizhou BestGemo New Energy presents the Wet Process Lithium Battery Separator, a polyethylene (PE) base film engineered specifically for power and energy-storage lithium battery applications. This separator is produced using the wet process method, which yields a uniform microporous structure that balances high ionic conductivity with robust mechanical integrity. As a general-purpose base film, it is designed to meet the core performance demands of modern battery cells, providing a reliable physical and electrochemical barrier between the anode and cathode.

The separator is available in a range of standard thicknesses—7, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 20 microns—allowing manufacturers to select the appropriate profile for their specific energy density, safety, and cycle life requirements. Its composition ensures dimensional stability under thermal stress, with controlled shrinkage in both machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) at elevated temperatures. Each roll is produced under stringent process controls to deliver consistent porosity and permeability, ensuring predictable electrolyte wetting and ionic transport across the entire electrode surface.

Key Features

• High ionic conductivity enabled by a uniform porosity of 40±4%, facilitating efficient lithium-ion transport and reduced internal resistance.
• Robust mechanical strength with MD tensile strength of 1,500 to 3,000 MPa and TD tensile strength of 1,300 to 2,800 MPa, supporting high-speed winding and cell assembly without tearing.
• Controlled thermal shrinkage of ≤3% (MD) and ≤2% (TD) at 90°C, contributing to electrode alignment stability and reducing the risk of internal short circuits during thermal exposure.
• Optimized air permeability ranging from 130 to 210 sec/100cc, ensuring balanced gas exchange during formation and consistent electrolyte penetration.
• Available thicknesses of 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 20 microns with corresponding square weights from 4.2 to 10.7 g/m², enabling precise cell design tuning.
• Polyethylene wet-process base film chemistry that delivers intrinsic chemical stability against common liquid electrolytes and additives.
