Wet Process Separator 16μm

Product Overview

Huizhou BestGemo New Energy presents the Wet Process Lithium Battery Separator in a 16-micron thickness, a polyethylene (PE) base film engineered specifically for power and energy-storage lithium battery applications. This separator is produced using the wet process method, which yields a uniform microporous structure that balances high ionic conductivity with robust mechanical integrity. As a general-purpose base film, it is designed to meet the core performance demands of modern battery cells, providing a reliable physical and electrochemical barrier between the anode and cathode.

The 16μm variant is a versatile choice for manufacturers seeking a balance between mechanical strength and ionic transport. Its thickness contributes to enhanced dimensional stability under thermal stress, with controlled shrinkage in both machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) at elevated temperatures. Each roll is produced under stringent process controls to deliver consistent porosity and permeability, ensuring predictable electrolyte wetting and ionic transport across the entire electrode surface. This thickness is particularly suitable for cells requiring robust safety margins and long cycle life.

Key Features

• High ionic conductivity enabled by a uniform porosity of 40±4%, facilitating efficient lithium-ion transport and reduced internal resistance.
• Robust mechanical strength with MD tensile strength of 1,500 to 3,000 MPa and TD tensile strength of 1,300 to 2,800 MPa, supporting high-speed winding and cell assembly without tearing—even at a slightly thicker profile.
• Controlled thermal shrinkage of ≤3% (MD) and ≤2% (TD) at 90°C, contributing to electrode alignment stability and reducing the risk of internal short circuits during thermal exposure.
• Optimized air permeability ranging from 130 to 210 sec/100cc, ensuring balanced gas exchange during formation and consistent electrolyte penetration.
• Available thicknesses include 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 20 microns with corresponding square weights from 4.2 to 10.7 g/m², enabling precise cell design tuning.
• Polyethylene wet-process base film chemistry that delivers intrinsic chemical stability against common liquid electrolytes and additives.

Technical Specifications

Applications

This 16μm wet-process separator is a dedicated solution for power lithium batteries—such as those used in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and high-rate power tools—as well as for energy-storage batteries deployed in stationary grid storage, uninterruptible power supplies, and renewable energy integration systems. The slightly thicker profile offers enhanced mechanical robustness, making it particularly suitable for large-format cells that require additional structural integrity during assembly and operation. Its balanced performance profile makes it suitable for cells that require reliable cycling, moderate to high discharge rates, and consistent thermal behavior.

• Electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery cells.
• Utility-scale and residential stationary energy storage systems.
• High-rate discharge power battery packs for industrial equipment.
• Backup power and load-leveling battery modules for commercial facilities.
• Portable power stations and solar-plus-storage configurations.
