(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the case of non-woven fabrics made of polyester treated with the above-mentioned resin coating, the resin is coated uniformly on the fiber surface.
It is difficult to dissolve, and no improvement in acid resistance is observed, causing dissolution (weight loss) from the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric, and when heat is added to this, the dissolution action is further accelerated, and the nonwoven fabric becomes There was a problem with deterioration. In addition, a portion of the dissolved nonwoven fabric may accumulate on the bottom of the battery, causing a short circuit between the electrode plates, resulting in a shortened battery life.

In addition to the circular core, the core component may be eccentric, or the core and sheath may have irregular cross-sections other than circular.

The reason why the weight ratio of the core component and the sheath component was limited to 175 to 3/1 is because if this ratio exceeds 371, the amount of polypropylene may be insufficient and the core may not be completely covered. This is because the effect of chemical resistance cannot be obtained. In addition, if it is less than 115, the amount of the core component that provides the strength of the nonwoven fabric itself is insufficient, so the strength of the sheet becomes weak and the nonwoven fabric loses its stiffness.

In addition, the denier of the core component polyester itself directly controls the physical properties of the nonwoven fabric for storage batteries of the present invention, and in order to withstand various processes such as chemical treatment, heat treatment, and surface treatment, it is necessary to have a denier of at least 2 or more. In addition, when the denier exceeds 15, the total denier of the composite yarn inevitably increases, and the number of filaments that make up the nonwoven fabric becomes coarser, which increases the battery life. Voids are created in the nonwoven fabric covering the electrode surface, which contains air bubbles generated by the battery fluid, increasing electrical resistance and causing a decrease in electromotive force. In order to exhibit the effects of the present invention,
For the reasons mentioned above, the total denier must be 2 to 20 deniers, and the core component must be 1 to 15 denier.
