Abstract
A battery separator material which is folded to form an envelope is heat sealed along at least two opposing edges thereof to form a battery separator. The separator material is comprised of discrete polyolefin pulp fibers in a sufficient amount to heat seal the separator along its edges. The fibers are bound by an organic polymeric binder. A process of forming the battery separator is also disclosed.
Claims1
A roll of battery separator material having one side thereof embossed to form a plurality of longitudinally extending indentations parallel and laterally spaced across the width of said material and on the opposing side thereof having a plurality of ribs of polyolefin material extruded thereon, each of said ribs having a substantially triangular cross section and positioned in alignment with an indentation and having an apex in mating engagement therewith to prevent lateral slipping of laps of the roll and provide alignment for feeding off the roll.
