Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A member to be compressed for an electrochemical device, including a copolymer containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a fluoroalkyl vinyl ether unit, the copolymer having a content of the fluoroalkyl vinyl ether unit based on all the monomer units of the copolymer of 4.3% by mass or more and less than 5.5% by mass, and having a melt flow rate of 10 to 23 g/10 min.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device, comprising a copolymer comprising a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a fluoroalkyl vinyl ether unit, the copolymer having a content of the fluoroalkyl vinyl ether unit based on all the monomer units of the copolymer of 4.5% by mass or more and 4.7% by mass or less, and having a melt flow rate of 10 to 23 g/10 min, wherein the copolymer has a compression set of 85% or less, the compression set being measured after the copolymer in a state of being compression-deformed at a compression deformation rate of 50% is retained at 40° C. for 1,000 hours. 2. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoroalkyl vinyl ether unit is at least one selected from the group consisting of perfluoro (ethyl vinyl ether) unit and perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether) unit. 3. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , wherein the copolymer has a melting point of 305° C. or lower. 4. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , to be used in a state of being compression-deformed at a compression deformation rate of 30% or more. 5. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , to be used in an environment where the maximum temperature reaches 40° C. or higher. 6. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is an injection-molded article. 7. The sealing member to be compressed for an electrochemical device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is a member to be compressed for a battery.
