FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions


How should I choose between 32 μm and 40 μm separators?

Selection depends on:

  • Internal battery space
  • Electrode spacing
  • Compression conditions
  • Target experimental requirements

For new structures, purchasing both thickness options for comparison testing is recommended.


Are the physical property parameters applicable to all commercial specifications?

No.

The provided reference data represents an approximately 40 μm separator sample and should be used only for material evaluation reference.


Why does the 1 m² specification not show thickness?

The original sales specification does not provide thickness information for certain area-pack products.

Please confirm the complete specification before purchase.


Can the separator be cut into custom sizes?

Yes.

The roll format allows laboratory users to cut according to specific experimental requirements.

Clean cutting tools are recommended.


Is this separator compatible with KOH electrolyte?

The reference test includes resistance measurement after immersion in approximately 30% KOH electrolyte.

Actual compatibility should be verified according to the specific battery system.
