Dry Process Separator 16μm

Product Overview

Huizhou BestGemo New Energy offers the Dry Process Lithium Battery Separator in a 16μm thickness variant, a polypropylene (PP) based membrane engineered for modern power and energy-storage lithium batteries. This separator is manufactured using a dry-process method, which provides a balanced combination of mechanical integrity and thermal performance. As a core component within the battery cell, its role is to prevent electrical short circuits between the anode and cathode while permitting efficient ionic transport, directly influencing cell safety and cycle life.

The 16μm thickness configuration is specifically designed to support higher energy density cell architectures while maintaining reliable thermal and mechanical performance. This thinner profile reduces internal resistance and contributes to improved rate capability, making it well-suited for applications where compact cell design and efficient ionic transport are priorities. Our dry-process separator is engineered to meet the operational demands of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries, which are prevalent in electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems. The material's inherent thermal resistance, with a rated tolerance of ≥150°C, contributes to a wider safe operating window for the battery. The controlled thickness allows battery manufacturers to fine-tune energy density and mechanical strength according to their specific cell design requirements, making this separator a reliable and practical choice for high-volume production environments.

Key Features

• Thermal Resistance (≥150°C): The PP base material provides a high melting point, helping to maintain separator integrity and reduce the risk of thermal runaway in elevated temperature conditions.
• Controlled Porosity (35% ~ 45%): This carefully maintained porosity range supports consistent ionic conductivity while retaining sufficient mechanical strength for electrode handling and cell assembly.
• 16μm Thickness Design: The thinner profile reduces ionic transport distance, contributing to lower internal resistance and improved rate performance in high-energy-density cells.
• Chemical Stability: Polypropylene offers good resistance to the electrolyte solvents and lithium salts used in common LFP battery formulations, promoting long-term performance stability.
• Cost-Effective Dry Process: The dry-stretch manufacturing method offers a favorable balance of performance and production cost efficiency, suitable for mainstream LFP applications.
• Uniform Material Structure: The dry-process yields a consistent pore structure, which contributes to more predictable wetting behavior and uniform current distribution across the electrode surface.
