- Comparative Example 3 The slit die used in Example 5 was attached to a single-screw extruder with a screw outer diameter of 30 mm, an LZD ratio of 34 and a grooved cylinder, and the same viscosity average molecular weight as the resin used in Example 5 was used.
- a resin blended with 300,000 ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and 300,000 high density polyethylene with a viscosity average molecular weight in a ratio of 50% by weight to 50% by weight was extruded at an output of 5 kg per hour. Extrusion was performed at a temperature of the extruder cylinder of 280 ° C, a screw rotation speed of 15 rotations per minute, and a slit die temperature of 200 ° C.
- the viscosity average molecular weight of the extruded plate-like sample was measured to be 750,000.
- This plate-shaped sample was stretched using the same simultaneous biaxial stretching machine as in Example 3 at a stretching temperature of 120 ° C. to 150 ° C., but the resin was torn off. The film could not be stretched at any temperature.
- the method for producing a polyolefin porous membrane of the present invention is extremely useful as a method for producing a polyolefin porous membrane that maintains high molecular weight of a resin containing high molecular weight polyolefin as a main component and has high strength and does not easily shrink to high temperatures. .
