Key Features & Advantages

  • Superior Uniform Microstructure: Wet-process PE separator delivers exceptional pore size distribution uniformity, ensuring consistent ionic transport and reliable electrochemical performance across battery experiments.
  • Low-Temperature Thermal Shutdown: 135°C melting point provides rapid shutdown capability during thermal runaway events, enhancing battery safety in consumer and power applications.
  • Comprehensive Thickness Selection: Available in 6 standard thicknesses from 7μm to 20μm, supporting diverse research requirements from high-energy-density to high-safety battery designs.
  • Flexible Width & Length Options: Standard 60mm and 75mm widths with roll lengths from 10m to 100m accommodate both small-scale testing and extended research programs.
  • Research-Grade Quality Assurance: Rigorous quality control across thickness, porosity, Gurley value, shrinkage, tensile strength, and puncture resistance ensures batch-to-batch consistency for reproducible battery research.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Lithium-ion battery R&D, sodium-ion battery testing, coin-cell (CR2032, CR2025) assembly, pouch-cell prototyping, high-energy-density battery development, high-rate fast-charging research, thermal runaway prevention studies, electrolyte wettability optimization, and academic research on advanced battery separators.
PACKAGING: Anti-static protective packaging with moisture-barrier protection. Separator rolls are wound on core tubes with edge protection to prevent mechanical damage. Vacuum-sealed packaging for moisture-sensitive applications. Custom packaging available for bulk research quantities.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Wet PE separator is sensitive to mechanical stress, moisture, and high-temperature exposure. Handle with clean gloves and avoid excessive bending, creasing, or sharp-edge contact during cutting and stacking operations. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated environment away from direct sunlight, ignition sources, and heat sources. Protect from rain and moisture during transportation. Prior to cell assembly, vacuum-drying at 60-80°C for 4-8 hours is recommended to remove residual moisture and ensure optimal electrolyte wetting. For ultra-thin grades (≤ 9μm), exercise additional care during handling to prevent wrinkling or tearing. When pairing with electrolytes, ensure compatibility with PE separator chemistry — avoid aromatic hydrocarbons and aggressive solvents that may degrade PE. For optimal performance, match separator thickness with electrode design and application requirements. Always check separator integrity for any physical damage before cell assembly. Avoid exposure to temperatures exceeding 135°C to prevent melting and structural degradation.

Store sealed in a dry, well-ventilated environment below 135°C and away from fire or heat sources. Material integrity is compromised by excessive tensile load, puncture, or exposure to moisture.

  • Thermal Degradation Risk: The separator undergoes longitudinal shrinkage of 1.2% and transverse shrinkage of 0.1% at elevated temperatures, with complete melting at 135°C.
  • Moisture Sensitivity: Humid storage conditions can alter the porous structure and degrade electrolyte wetting performance.
  • Mechanical Damage Risk: Puncture or tensile overload during handling can create defects that lead to internal short circuits in the assembled cell.
  • Fire Hazard Consideration: Polyethylene is flammable; maintain separation from open flames, sparks, and ignition sources.

How does the 39% porosity and 224s air permeability of the 16μm wet-process PE separator affect its ionic conductivity versus mechanical integrity in lithium-ion battery R&D?

The 39% porosity and 224s air permeability of the AF-PE16 separator provide a balanced trade-off between ionic conductivity and mechanical integrity for R&D lithium-ion cells. This porosity level, combined with a puncture strength of 535g and tensile strengths of 192 kg/cm³ MD and 156 kg/cm³ TD, offers sufficient electrolyte retention and wetting while maintaining structural safety during assembly and cycling.

Can the wet-process PE 16μm separator be used with high-nickel NMC cathodes or silicon anodes that require high-temperature stability?

The AF-PE16 separator has a melting temperature of 135°C, which limits compatibility with high-temperature electrode processing or operation above that threshold. Its longitudinal thermal shrinkage is 1.2% and transverse shrinkage is 0.1%, indicating good dimensional stability at moderate temperatures, but it is not recommended for cells designed for operating above 135°C or requiring PP's higher melt integrity at 167°C.

What are the required storage and handling conditions to prevent contamination or degradation of the 16μm wet-process PE separator before use?

Store the separator sealed in a dry, well-ventilated environment at normal or low temperature, away from fire, heat sources, and flammable materials. During transportation, avoid sunlight, rain, severe collision, and extrusion to prevent physical damage and maintain the 60mm width integrity and 16μm thickness uniformity.

This 16 μm wet-process PE separator from Atomfair offers a balanced combination of mechanical strength (535 g puncture) and thermal stability (0.1% TD shrinkage) suitable for R&D battery fabrication, though its PE construction limits upper temperature exposure to 135°C and moderate porosity (39%) may constrain high-rate ionic transport.

Positive

  • High puncture strength: Puncture strength of 535 g provides robust mechanical integrity against electrode particle penetration, critical for preventing internal short circuits in lab-scale battery assemblies.
  • Low transverse thermal shrinkage: Transverse thermal shrinkage of only 0.1% TD ensures dimensional stability across the separator width during thermal excursions, improving cell safety and consistency.

Trade-offs

  • Low melting temperature limit: Melting temperature of 135°C for the PE base film imposes a strict upper thermal operating limit; the separator loses structural integrity above this temperature, requiring careful thermal management during cell drying or battery testing.
  • Moderate porosity may limit rate: Air permeability of 224 S combined with 39% porosity indicates moderate ionic resistance; for high-rate or thick-electrode experiments, this separator may contribute to concentration polarization effects.
