Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a battery having good electrolyte leakage resistance by using a sealant comprising isobutylene family copolymer containing crystalline polypropylne. CONSTITUTION:A gap 5 in a battery sealing part is sealed with a sealant 4 made of a polymer mainly comprising isobutyelene having a mean molecular weight of 700-10,000 containing 0.5-10w.% crystalline polypropylene. The crystalline polypropylene is obtained by polymerizing propylene with Ziegler catalyst and has stereoregularity. Isobutylene polymer and crystalline polypropylene are mixed with a mixer, a banbury mixer, or an extruder with they heated at temperature exceeding the melting point of polypropylene. Isobutylene 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.
