Description
SOUND ABSORBING MATERIAL
Description The invention relates to a sound absorbing material, consisting of a microfilament nonwoven with surface weights of 40-300g/m2.
Interior finish parts for automotive vehicles such as vehicle roofs are known from documents EP 0 909 680 and US 4,851,283, which have sound absorbing properties. They consist of a staple fibre nonwoven layer in which preferably polyester fibres are consolidated with the help of binder fibres and are coated with at least one foam layer.
Damping and sound protecting materials are also known from documents DE 197 26 and DE 197 08 188, which consist of staple fibre nonwovens, especially of polyester fibres and are consolidated by mechanical as well a thermal processes.
In the course of the increasing demands of the automotive industry, new requirements are imposed on the supplier. Thus, the lining parts used in the interior of a motor vehicle should have a decor with attractive optic and haptic. The parts should be recyclable, should have a very high color consistency and light resistance, especially hot light resistance, a low tendency to soiling, a high abrasion resistance, humidity resistance, flame resistance, cleanability and very good deep drawing ability, and furthermore accommodate the growing requirements for sound protection with the goal of increased comfort for the motor vehicle passengers.
It is an object of the invention to provide a sound absorbing material which accommodates the mentioned requirements and a process for its manufacture.
This object is achieved in accordance with the invention with a sound absorbing material, which consists of a microfilament nonwoven with surface weights of 40-300 g/m2, whereby the nonwoven is made of meltspun, drawn multicomponent endless filaments with a titre of 0.15-5dtex which are immediately laid into a nonwoven web, is split, preferably after a preconsolidation, at least to 80% into micro endless filaments with a titre of 0.1-1.2dtex, and is consolidated. The sound absorbing material has a high specific fibre surface at a comparatively low surface weight and a high opacity. The fineness of the filaments allows a good printability and embossability and therefore a good decoration of the material.
The sound absorbing material is preferably one wherein the nonwoven is made of meltspun, aerodynamically drawn multicomponent endless filaments with a titre of 1.5-3dtex, which multicomponent endless filaments are immediately laid into a nonwoven web and split to at least 80% into micro endless filaments with a titre of 0.1-0.3dtex, and consolidated. The sound absorbing material has an isotropic filament distribution in the nonwoven web, whereby the further processing is rendered relatively independent from the machine direction and is thereby very advantageous for the utilization of the material.
Preferably, the sound absorbing material is one wherein the multicomponent endless filament is a bicomponent endless filament of two incompatible polymers, especially a polyester and a polyamide. Such a bicomponent endless filament has a good splittability into micro endless filaments and results in an advantageous ratio of strength to surface weight.
At the same time, the sound absorbing material in accordance with the invention can be easily cleaned and wiped off and has a high abrasion resistance because of the polymers used and their filament structure, which means it is easy-care.
Preferably, the sound absorbing material is one wherein the multicomponent endless filaments have a cross-section with a multi-segment structure called orange type or also "pie", whereby the segments altematingly include respectively one of the two incompatible polymers.
Besides this orange-type multi-segment structure of the multicomponent endless filaments, a "side-by-side" (s/s) segment positioning of the incompatible polymers in the multicomponent endless filament is also possible, which is preferably used for the generation of curled filaments. Such segment arrangements of the incompatible polymers in the multicomponent endless filament have shown to be very well splittable. The sound absorbing material has a good deep drawing ability or deformability, which is manifested in the mid-range strength values at a high stretchability and comparatively low module values.
Preferably, the sound absorbing material is one in which at least one of the incompatible polymers forming the multicomponent endless filament includes an additive in an amount up to 10%

Such segment arrangements of the incompatible polymers in the multicomponent endless filament have shown to be very well splittable. The sound absorbing material has a good deep drawing ability or deformability, which is manifested in the mid-range strength values at a high stretchability and comparatively low module values.
Preferably, the sound absorbing material is one in which at least one of the incompatible polymers forming the multicomponent endless filament includes an additive in an amount up to 10%
per weight, such as color pigments, permanently active anti-statics, flame protection agents and/or additives which influence the hydrophobic properties. Static charges can be prevented or reduced with these additives and the hot light resistance improved. Hot light consistencies of >6, determined according to DIN EN 20105-A02 were achieved with subsequently colored products.
The process in accordance with the invention for the manufacture of a sound absorbing material consists in that multicomponent endless filaments are spun from the melt, drawn and immediately layed into a nonwoven web, a preconsolidation is carried out, and the nonwoven is consolidated by high pressure fluid jets with the simultaneous splitting into micro endless filaments with a titre of 0.1-1.2dtex. The sound absorbing material obtained has a very even thickness, an isotropic tread distribution and low tendency to delamination.
Preferably, the process for the manufacture of the sound absorbing material is carried out in such a way that the consolidation and splitting of the multicomponent endless filaments is achieved in that the possibly preconsolidated nonwoven is impacted at least once on each side with high pressure water jets. The sound absorbing material thereby has a good surface and a degree of splitting of the multicomponent endless filaments >80%.
Preferably, the sound absorbing material in accordance with the invention is also subjected to a point calendaring, to increase the abrasion resistance. The split and consolidated nonwoven is therefore fed through heated rollers of which at least one roller has protrusions which lead to a point form melting together of the filaments.
The sound absorbing material in accordance with the invention is suitable for the manufacture of motor vehicle roof linings, door linings, column linings, hat rests andlor trunk linings as well as wheel well linings, because of its properties such as good printability, high abrasion resistance and a good hot light resistance, thermal formability in deep drawn processes and the haptic shape. When a very high weight savings is to be achieved, one can also omit an additional foam covering, without suffering large losses in sound absorption properties.
The sound absorbing material is suitable as sound absorption layer in the construction of roof linings, in the construction of column, door and trunk linings, in the construction of dashboards, in the region of the engine compartment and/or the floor lining, whereby it has good sound absorption values at lower surface weights compared to known materials.
The sound absorbing material is especially suited as tuft can-ier for motor vehicle carpets which at a significantly lower material use has at least the same sound absorption properties as conventional motor vehicle carpets, since one can do away with heavy carpet backing layers.
Example 1 A filament web with a surface weight of 138 g/m2 is produced from a side by side (s/s) polyester-polyamide 6.6 (PES-PA 6.6) bicomponent endless filament with a titre of 2.3 dtex and a weight ratio of PES/PA 6.6 of 60/40, and subjected to a waterjet needling on both sides and at pressures of 230 bar. The bicomponent endless filaments after the waterjet needling, which leads to a simultaneous splitting of the starting filaments, had a titre of <1.2dtex and a thickness of 0.73mm.
A tear resistance in machine direction of 391N and in transverse direction of 372N was determined.
Example 2 A filament web with a surface weight of 115g/m2 was produced from a 16 segment (pie) polyester-polyamide 6.6 (PES-PA 6.6) bicomponent endless filament with a titre of 2.4dtex and a weight ratio of PES/PA 6.6 of 55/45, and subjected on both sides to a waterjet needling at pressures of 230 bar. The bicomponent endless filaments after the waterjet needling, which leads to simultaneous splitting of the starting filaments, had a titre of <0.15dtex and after a final smoothing a thickness of 0.48mm. A tear resistance in machine direction of 302N and in transverse direction of 303N was determined.
