Method for Producing Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Porous Membrane, Method for Producing Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polytheylene Film, and Porous Membrane and Film Obtained By These Methods

Abstract

A method for producing an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene porous membrane, including: a step of molding a film using an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene raw material; a step of biaxially stretching the obtained film in X-axis and Y-axis directions at a temperature of from a melting point of the film to 180° C.; and a pore-forming step of stretching the stretched film along at least one axis of the X-axis and Y-axis at from 142° C. to 170° C. Alternatively, a method for producing an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene film, including: a step of molding a film by two steps of press-molding and roll-molding using an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene raw material; and a step of biaxially stretching the film obtained in the above step, in X-axis and Y-axis directions at a temperature of from a melting point of the film to 180° C.
