Abstract

A presoaked perhalogenated polymer cation exchange membrane containing at least one type of acid groups, carboxyl or sulfonyl, is bonded to other articles such as edge-reinforcing tape, gasket, electrolytic cell frame, etc., by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive material from the group of butyl rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polyacrylate rubber. Presoaking of the membranes is done either in water or in an aqueous alkaline solution.
