Alkaline manganese batteries have larger capacity and longer service life than manganese batteries because very dense potassium hydroxide is used for electrolyte. Paper made from KURALON is useful in these batteries because of its resistance against alkaline.
As paper made from KURALON has hydrophilic property, it easily gets wet with electrolyte and provides excellent liquid retainability. Thus, it can elongate the reaction time of battery, ensuring longer service life.
