PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a separator for a fuel battery in which a gasket is formed integrally with a separator body by forming rubber in gasket forming grooves provided in the separator body and which prevents the gasket forming grooves from being damaged at the time of forming the rubber in the gasket forming grooves, thereby preventing sealing property from being lowered due to the damage to the separator. SOLUTION: A separator body has grooves formed in its both faces and is made of a mixture of carbon powder and a resin. The separator for a fuel battery is configured as follows. Rubber is formed in a gasket forming groove formed in at least one face of the separator body so as to form a gasket in the separator body. A curvature is provided in corner parts of a groove bottom face of the gasket forming groove formed in one face of the separator body, and also, in corner parts of a groove bottom face of the groove formed in the rear face of the gasket forming groove being the other face of the separator body. The gasket is a double-face gasket. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
