The present invention provides a non-woven fabric for an alkaline battery
separator comprising semi-aromatic polyamide fibers comprising a
dicarboxylic acid component, in which 60 mol % or more of the
dicarboxylic acid component is an aromatic carboxylic acid component, and
a diamine component, in which 60 mol % or more of the diamine component
is an aliphatic alkylene diamine having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, and
ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer fibers; wherein, the separator non-woven
fabric has superior alkaline resistance in which the weight loss rate
after 20 days is 5% or less in an alkaline resistance test at 90.degree.
C. in aqueous KOH solution having a specific gravity of 1.30.
Consequently, since the present invention enables rapid charging and
large-current discharging while also allowing thickness to be reduced for
higher capacity, it can be preferably used as a non-woven fabric for an
alkaline battery separator.
