Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a battery having good electrolyte leakage resistance by using a sealant comprising isobutylene family polymer containing wax. CONSTITUTION:A gap 5 in a battery sealing part is sealed with a sealant 4 made of a polymer mainly comprising isobutylene having a mean molecular weight of 700-10,000 containing 1-30wt.% wax. As the wax, animal and plant wax and preferably hydrocarbon wax such as paraffin wax, microcrystaline wax, polyethylene wax, and atactic polypropylene (APP) wax is used. Isobutylne polymer having mean molecular weight less than 700 has low viscosity and its sealing ability is insufficient. isobutylene polymer having mean molecular weight exceeding 10,000 has too high viscosity and it makes coating difficult.

The sealing material 4 is a polymer formed by polymerizing isobutylene as a main monomer, such as an isobutylene homopolymer or a copolymer of isobutylene and n-butene. These are easily available under the trade names of Nippon Petrochemicals Co., Ltd., such as 8-stone polybutene and Tehlux. Moreover, the average molecular weight thereof is preferably 700 to 10,000. If it is less than 700, the sealing performance is insufficient due to low viscosity. Moreover, if the average molecular weight exceeds 10.000, the viscosity becomes too high and handling operations such as coating become a national problem, which is not preferable.
