Paper with a grammage of 10-100 g/mincluding at least 20 wt. % of microfilaments and at least 20 wt. % of a non-resinous binder, the microfilaments having an average filament length in the range of 2-25 mm and titer less than 1.3 dtex, the non-resinous binder comprising at least one of fibrid or pulp. The paper shows high strength and other attractive properties.

Paper comprising microfilaments

Paper with a grammage of 10-100 g/mincluding at least 20 wt. % of microfilaments and at least 20 wt. % of a non-resinous binder, the microfilaments having an average filament length in the range of 2-25 mm and titer less than 1.3 dtex, the non-resinous binder comprising at least one of fibril or pulp. The paper shows high strength and other attractive properties.

A paper suitable for use as separator in an electrochemical cell, including at least 60 wt. % of an aramid fibril and at least 1 wt. % of an aramid fiber. The paper has a grammage of 5 to 100 g/m2, and the aramid fibril has a Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF) in a wet phase of less than 300 ml and a specific surface area (SSA) after drying of less than 3 m2/g. It has been found that a paper with this composition combines good electrolyte absorption and ion permeability with high stability during use, leading to a long lifetime for the electrochemical cell.
