Alkaline battery separator and alkaline battery using separator
First Claim
1. An alkaline battery separator, comprising:
- a coarse layer comprising a first alkaline-resistant synthetic fiber, a first alkaline-resistant binder fiber, and at least two kinds of first alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers having different freeness values from each other; and
a dense layer comprising a second alkaline-resistant synthetic fiber, a second alkaline-resistant binder fiber, and a second alkaline-resistant cellulose fiberwherein the coarse layer comprises the at least two kinds of the first alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers in a proportion of from 25 to 65% by weight of the coarse layer, the at least two kinds of the first alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers, as a whole, have a freeness value of from 350 to 650 ml, a difference in freeness values between one of the at least two kinds of the first alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers having a highest freeness value and one of the at least two kinds of the first alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers having a lowest freeness value is from 300 to 700 ml,the dense layer is denser than the coarse layer, the second alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber has, as a whole, a freeness value of from 0 to 400 ml,the alkaline battery separator has a maximum pore size of 65 μ
m or smaller and a liquid absorption capacity of 5 g/g or higher, anda difference in freeness values between the whole freeness value of the first alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber and the whole freeness value of the second alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber is from 100 to 450 ml.

Abstract
Provided are an alkaline battery separator and an alkaline battery including the separator. The separator includes at least a coarse layer and a dense layer denser than the coarse layer. The coarse layer contains an alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber having a freeness value of 350 to 650 ml as a whole in the proportion of 25 to 65% by weight. The alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber includes at least two kinds of alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers having different freeness with each other. The difference in freeness value between the alkaline-resistant cellulose fibers having the highest and lowest freeness values is 300 to 700 ml. The dense layer contains an alkaline-resistant cellulose fiber which as a whole has a freeness value of 0 to 400 ml. The separator has a maximum pore size of 65 μm or smaller, and a liquid absorption capacity of 5 g/g or higher.
