Be the content of the accompanying drawing of this specification below:
Fig. 1 is the perspective view of melt-blown process;
Fig. 2 is the profile that shows mould and auxiliary air source position;
Fig. 3 is the fragmentary detail view of extrusion die, there is shown the arrangement of " negative dislocation ";
Fig. 4 is the fragmentary detail view of extrusion die, there is shown the arrangement of " just misplacing ".
From the angle of broad sense, content of the present invention is included in the surface bonding layer of supplying with one deck meltblown fibers on one deck microfibre wire side, and the average diameter of the fiber of this surface bonding layer is greater than 8 microns, wherein has at least the diameter of 75% fiber to have 7 microns at least. When being used for most of cloth, this surface bonding layer is that the remainder that is laminated to net goes, and for example uses the embossing Method for bonding, Or combine them with other methods commonly used. Like this, this surface bonding layer can get on the fibroreticulate remainder face that is thermally bonded to again it after the moulding that comes, and the bonding zone that preferably is interrupted in dispersion is bonding. Perhaps also can make this cementing layer have the state compacted under of very high initial self bonding force on the face of fibroreticulate remainder at it, can exempt like this that specially cementing layer is adhered to the operation that fibroreticulate remainder gets on, although perhaps also need cloth is carried out heat embossing. The cloth of producing by the present invention shows the surface abrasion resistance fastness with improved hygrometric state and dry state, is particularly suitable for as wiping cloth (rags) or medical cloth.
The most in a broad sense, technology of the present invention can be implemented at the melt-blowing equipment of routine, and this conventional equipment needs to make it to have auxiliary air at a high speed through transformation, as among the common pending application JSU58 or shown in Fig. 1. According to shown in device, a kind of ball shape or granular thermoplastic resin add from hopper 10, these particles enter extruder 11 then, the temperature in the extruder is controlled in a plurality of bringing-up sections of subregion, makes resin be heated to it more than fusing point. Extruder is promoted by motor 12, and this motor enters mould 13 with the common thermal treatment zone of crossing extruder of resin transfer. Mould 13 also can have a plurality of heated zones.
As shown in Figure 2, resin enters heating clamber 29 from extruder, and the latter is between upper and lower template 30 and 31. These upper and lower templates make the temperature of mould and the temperature of chamber 29 interior resins meet the requirements of level by heater 20 heating. Resin is extruded the aperture 17 of opening in die face from a group then. Generally along every centimetre of die width 12 apertures are arranged approximately.
The inert gas (generally being air) of general heat enters air chamber 19 from pipeline 14. This strand hot gas that is called as " primary air " flows into groove crack 32 and 33 then, and this groove crack is arranged in the both sides of resin ejection nozzle 17. When resin flow delivery nozzle 17, hot gas is scattering into fiber with it. Groove crack 32 or 33 width are called the air gap. The fiber that forms is become fibroreticulate perforated conveyor belt (or receiver) 22 by the hot-air bar shaped of leading, and forms one deck pad or net 26 thereon. Vacuum chamber 23 of normal operation assists to collect fiber, and vacuum chamber 23 links to each other with the pipeline 24 that vacuumizes. Conveyer belt 22 moves round cylinder 25, is continuous thereby make the net of formation.
The outlet of nozzle 17 and airslide crack 32 and 33 can be positioned at same plane, also can stagger. The outlet contracting that Fig. 3 illustrates nozzle in the surface of mould and groove crack 32,33 plane The inside. This arrangement is called " negative dislocation ". The size of negative dislocation indicates with two relative arrows in Fig. 3. Shown in Fig. 4 is " just misplacing ", and the outlet of nozzle 17 stretches out in outside the surface of mould and groove crack 32,33 the plane when this position. The size that is just misplacing indicates with two relative arrows in Fig. 4. In this process program, use negative dislocation better, can adverse influence not arranged to the quality of the net produced because its allows the layout of the air gap can have bigger flexibility.
Cloth of the present invention contains layer of surface cementing layer and one deck core net. Preferably cloth comprises one deck core net, and there is the layer of surface cementing layer on its two sides. In the present invention, " cementing layer " is one deck fleece, and its basis weight is no more than 50% of cloth gross weight. More better is that the basis weight of gluing together stratum reticulare is about 25% of cloth gross weight, and preferably accounts for 15% to 25% of cloth gross weight. The net of cementing layer can separately be made with the core net, combines Face to face then. During with this method, the basis weight of the net of every layer of cementing layer must be at 6 grams/rice2About with enable easily with the core anastomose altogether. Other method is, core net and cementing layer divide upper and lower layer to form simultaneously, for example form earlier cementing layer as bottom on conveyer belt 22, make then the fiber of core net be deposited in this bottom above. In this suggested design of the present invention, one deck weight is about 3 grams/rice2Cementing layer form at conveyer belt earlier, its accepts the core net that blows then, and another layer weight of core net receive sediments on it is about 3 grams/rice2Cementing layer. Other scheme is to adopt difference step into the net will glue together the fiber laydown of stratum reticulare to two faces of core face. After this, the net of core net and cementing layer can carry out lamination, for example carries out lamination with the heat embossing method. In the time will gluing together stratum reticulare and deposit on the core wire side, if the formation condition of gummed stratum reticulare is that very high initial inter-fibre-bond or self bondability can be provided, comprise high mold temperature, do not use auxiliary air, become net apart from (back also will be described in detail) such as weak points, with regard to not necessarily needing cementing layer and core net are carried out lamination (for example using the heat embossing method), also do not need the cementing layer embossing. The core net can be through embossing before the fiber laydown of cementing layer gets on, also can not embossed. The wear resistance that the embossed layers compress material of producing by the present invention has is at least 30 Zhou Qituan when hygrometric state, be at least 40 Zhou Qituan when dry state.
Will illustrate as following, according to the method described above, might and reduce under the condition of primary air amount in the throughput that increases polymer, only just can make the present invention with a meltblown die Cloth. Then be to use a plurality of moulds in the scheme of best production cloth of the present invention.
Its most preferred aspect, the medical cloth of confession of the melt-blown micro-fiber that the present invention is a kind of improvement, do not strengthen. The ratio that the minimum of this cloth is grabbed sample tensile strength and weight is at least 0.8 newton/grammeter2, the ratio of its minimum Erichsen (Elmendorf) tear resistance and weight is at least 0.04 newton/grammeter2 To be described in more detail with regard to this optimum implementation below.
The requirement of medical cloth is quite strict. When cloth under regular service conditions, when for example in operating room environment, using, must have enough intensity and tear or pull open with resistance. This is all the more so for cloth of making the operating room clothes, such as operating coat, scrub clothes or surgery cover list etc. The index of weighing nonwoven fabric intensity be it grab sample tensile strength, its definition is to pull out 10 centimetres of load that wide openning is required on the sample face on the testing machine.
Grab the method for sample strength test at non-woven cloth and in ASTM D1117 standard, made regulation. Non-woven medical cloth also must be resisted and tear. Anti-tear broken intensity is generally measured with the Elmendorf tearing test, has also made regulation in ASTM D1117 standard. Grabbing sample tensile strength is with the most weak direction at cloth, and normally the horizontal minimum of cloth machine is stipulated, generally is in 45 Newton range, and its most weak direction Tear resistance is then about 2 newton. Breakage can occur at these load level clothes, but people wish that its intensity can be higher. As cloth grab that sample tensile strength can meet and exceed about 65 newton, tear resistance can meet and exceed about 6 newton, then it can be more widely used as a kind of special medical cloth. Best cloth of the present invention has the ratio of very high intensity and weight, and therefore under desirable weight, it grabs sample tensile strength and tear resistance all can reach the level higher than above-mentioned numeral. Its basis weight is generally at 14 to 85 grams/rice2In the scope.
Medical cloth also must have the performance of repelling liquid, comprises the performance of repelling the indoor blood that often runs into of hospital surgical. Since these liquid be with microorganism from an easily carrier that propagates into another place, scolding fluidity is the functional characteristic of a key of medical cloth. Scold fluidity mainly to be subjected to the impact of micropore on the cloth, its numerical value is measured according to AATCC 127-1977 standard code " hydrostatic head " test. The result of this test represents with the pressure that sees through the required water-column representative of given cloth sample. Because the limit capacity that a kind of given cloth is resisted Liquid Penetrant is decided by the microcellular structure of this cloth, the hydrostatic head test is the method for the permeation resistant nature of the medical cloth of a kind of effectively evaluating inherence. The general hydrostatic head numerical value of non-woven medical cloth that does not comprise waterproof film or microfiber web is 20 to 30 centimeter water columns. It has been generally acknowledged that such numerical value is the most not desirable to operating coat and surgery cover list, especially in the very high occasion of the infected risk of some round. 40 centimetres or higher pressure head value want more better. It's a pity that at present the operational gas permeability with cloth of high hydrostatic pressure head numerical value very by prior art production is very poor, or intensity is lower. Cloth of the present invention can reach the performance of very high anti-Liquid Penetrant.
The gas permeability of medical cloth also is a characteristic that hope has. This point especially needs for the cloth of making clothing. The gas permeability of cloth is all relevant with air penetration with wet steam spreading rate (MVTR). Because being used for the fleece of medical cloth, great majority all have suitable high wetting The vapour spreading rate, so the measurement of air penetration performance is the suitable quantitative test that its gas permeability is differentiated.
In general, cloth is loose rare, and its air penetration is also more good. Therefore, its air penetration of fleece that press very densely, only has a very thin pore structure is not good, and it is very poor usually to be considered to gas permeability. The weight that increases cloth also can reduce its air penetration performance. The method of measuring air penetration is that the not thunder of ASTM D737 standard code is translated the test of (Frazier) air void porosity. Fu Shi air void porosity is lower than 8 meters3/ decimetre2Cloth medical clothes time of putting on of making will feel slightly for a long time uncomfortable. Cloth of the present invention have good gas permeability and do not sacrifice it scold fluidity or intensity.
Medical cloth also must have good drapability, and the latter has many measuring methods, comprises the test of Ku Xike (Cusick) drapability. In the test of Ku Shi drapability, the cloth of a slice circle is clipped between the disk of two levels with one heart, and the diameter of disk is littler than the diameter of cloth specimen. The soft rivel that hangs down to form round disc circumference of cloth specimen. With the profile of these rivels project a level, with on the original measure-alike annular paper of not pushed down part of cloth specimen. Rivel projection on the paper is described, and the weight of these annular scraps of paper of weighing is cut off the scraps of paper then along the projection line of rivel, again the weight of the interior ring cut of weighing. Ring weight multiply by 100 divided by the original weight of paper ring again and just obtains so-called " suspended coefficient " in this. This coefficient is more little, and the drapability of this cloth is just more good. Cloth of the present invention is fine with the drapability that the method records. Drapability has good corresponding relation with pliability and the elasticity of cloth.
Except some above-mentioned characteristics, medical cloth also must have antistatic behaviour and flame resistance. Cloth also should have good wear resistance, and can not fall down little fiber head and come, and generally claims this phenomenon of falling fiber head to be " depilation ".
Except having characteristic above-mentioned, best cloth of the present invention is also that with the difference of the meltblown fiber web of prior art the average length of the single fiber in its net compares prior art Net in the average length of fiber to grow. The average length of fiber is greater than 10 centimetres in the core net, and better is greater than 20 centimetres, preferably between 25 to 50 centimetres. In addition, the average diameter of core network fiber should be not more than 7 microns. It should be to have the diameter of 80% fiber at least less than 7 microns that the diameter of fiber distributes, be more preferably have 90% fiber at least diameter less than 7 microns.
In explanation of the present invention, " net " this noun refers to the not bonding net of being made by melt-blown process. " cloth " this noun then refers to through heat embossing or the bonding net of other technology.
Best cloth of the present invention is the cloth that a kind of meltblown fibers heat embossing without strengthening forms, and it has one deck core net, is by fibrous greater than 10 centimetres of average length; The diameter that has 80% fiber in these fibers at least is 7 microns or less than 7 microns, at the one or both sides of this core net one surface bonding layer is arranged, and the average diameter of the fiber of this cementing layer is greater than 8 microns, and wherein 75% fibre diameter has 7 microns at least.
In the technology of making best cloth of the present invention, the fiber of core net contacts with one auxiliary air at a high speed behind the ejection mould immediately. The fiber of cementing layer then can contact with the high speed auxiliary air, also can different its contact. Auxiliary air is the surrounding air under the indoor or outdoors temperature, and when needing, this auxiliary air also can be through overcooled. Auxiliary air enters the distributor 16 that is loaded on the mould both sides from a suitable source of the gas through pipe 15 under pressure. Distributor is general the same with mould long, and it has inclined-plane 35, is having hole 27 near the die surface place. The flow velocity of auxiliary air can be regulated by the pressure in the raising pipe 15 or by a plate washer 28. Plate washer 28 is used for reducing the size in hole 27, thereby is keeping improving the air velocity that flows out from distributor in the constant situation of flow.
Nonwoven fabric of the present invention utilizes melt-blown process to make cementing layer from different being in it of the cloth that contains microfibre of prior art, the fento of the characteristic of this cementing layer fiber and core net The characteristic difference of dimension. As make the cloth with core net and cementing layer and process heat bonding by the method described in this manual, just can obtain a kind of cloth with surface abrasion resistance fastness high strength and weight ratio, good and drapability.
When being used for the melt-blown process of prior art with the fiber parties concerned, the typical products that obtains is a kind of diameter at 1 to 10 micron microfibre. In given net, the diameter of fiber is irregular, but in order to give full play to micro-fiber structure as the advantage of good filtrate, often must remain on the diameter of fiber very little. Therefore normally use average diameter less than 5 microns, sometimes even less than 2 microns fiber produce fleece. In the technology of this prior art, the typical length of produced fiber is 5 to 10 centimetres. Once mentioned in the appraising through discussion of the cloth that adopts prior art production in front, with so twice-laid netting gear very low intensity and wear resistance were arranged. The intensity of such net and wear resistance be mainly derived from fiber fall to when transmitting on the zone face interfibrous bonding. Surperficial bonding may being present between fiber to a certain degree, because in the conventional mode of production of melt blown technology, fiber also solidifies when transmitting on the zone face fully being deposited to, and the surface of their semi-molten state can be glued together on the point of cross-contact. This adhesion process is called as " self is bonding " sometimes. Self bonding degree is more high, and the integrated degree of net is also more high. If but self bondability of the fiber of this analog thermoplastic is too high, then this fleece will harden, and become coarse and quite fragile. The intensity of the net of this not embossed is what to be not enough to for the such practical use of for example medical cloth. These fleeces are carried out heat bonding generally can improve their intensity and wear resistance, but discussed as the front, if do not add surperficial enhancing ingredients or adhesive, can't produce the cloth with high surface abrasion resistance fastness with the microfibre that melts and sprays so far and come, especially can not produce the cloth that can be used for operating coat, cleans clothes and surgery cover list etc. and come.
In best cloth scheme of the present invention, when forming the core net, its fiber is length than the fiber of prior art. Using each the length of steel wire frame of rectangle when measuring fibre length is 5 lis Rice is one grade to 50 centimetres every 5 centimetres. The two-sided adhesive tape that mucous membrane is arranged that tacks down on the frame is used for clinging and collect the fiber in the air-flow. During measurement a steel wire frame is passed air-flow with the direction perpendicular to air-flow fast being close to into net conveyor place (rather than near melt and spray nozzle place). Each framework is taken a sample successively, the fiber number that clings on the framework of the every kind of length of counting then and the average length that estimates fiber. If most of fiber all is longer than 10 centimetres, then its average length is greater than 10 centimetres at least, and is perhaps better, greater than 20 centimetres, will have good intensity and still keeping the ideal characterisitics that is used as medical cloth after embossing with this net that forms. When average fiber length reaches 25 to 50 centimetres, can obtain having the cloth of height ideal characterisitics. In order to keep microfibre to resist the potentiality of Liquid Penetrant, must keep the diameter of fiber very little. That obtains scolds fluidity, needs to keep the average diameter of fiber in the core net of this programme below 7 microns, and wherein the diameter of at least 80% fiber should be below 7 microns, and preferably the diameter of at least 90% fiber should be below 7 microns. Fibre diameter then can improve the potentiality of the balance of the uniqueness between every characteristic that the present invention has as having narrower decentralization. Have very high-intensity cloth although can produce greater than 7 microns fiber with average diameter, the fluidity of scolding of such cloth will be sacrificed, thereby also can not produce and have the lightweight cloth of highly scolding fluidity.
If meltblown fiber web himself bonding degree in forming process is very low, have seldom or do not have integraty, the cloth of then cloth that forms after its embossing will the net higher than initial strength being made has much higher intensity, and outward appearance is also better. In other words, the net that has the minimum not embossed of the intensity of above-mentioned fiber size can be made the highest embossing cloth of intensity. Interfibrous initial adhesion degree is more high, and the cloth of making is just more hard, more fragile, thereby it grabs sample tensile strength and tear resistance is all lower. Reduce self bondability, the cloth of making after the embossing not only has high strength, and more soft, and drapability is more arranged. Because the integraty of the net of not embossed is lower, can measure its intensity with the galley proof test for tensile strength. Its method is with one 2.54 centimetres Wide bar-shaped sample is clipped at least also to have tests (ASTM D1117 standard) in 2.54 centimetres of wide specimen holders. Now melt and spray cloth with what technology was produced, its by warp-wise galley proof intensity of self bonding sample generally greater than press sticking after intensity 30%, often up to 70% or higher. In other words, accounted for very high share in the intensity of himself bonding intensity cloth after pressure is sticking. With self of its core net of cloth of explained hereafter of the present invention bonding only provide press sticking after below 30% of cloth intensity, be more preferably below 10%.
The weight of the net that for example, is meltblown into take nylon-6 as raw material with prior art is about 50 grams/rice2, its warp-wise galley proof tensile strength is 10 to 20 newton. The cloth that preferred plan of the present invention is made, the galley proof tensile strength of the core net of its not embossed must remain on below 10 newton, preferably remains on 5 newton and just can obtain largest benefit of the present invention when following. In other words, the long fibre of producing and collecting has lower inter-fibre-bond degree, single fiber intensity is higher, just can excavate the inherent intensity of fiber itself.
Though must make the very low and diameter that makes 80% fiber of the initial adhesion degree of fiber in the core net all less than 7 microns, but such fiber web does not have very high surface abrasion resistance fastness through after the embossing, therefore often need add a kind of chemical adhesive on such cloth surface and improve its wear resistance.But add the effect of paying that such adhesive can bring infringement cloth drapability, so its addition must remain on bottom line.Only add in actual applications when can keep its adhesive dosage with enough drapability, it only can provide still can be satisfied with but not be very high wear resistance.
On cloth of the present invention, can add surperficial cementing layer that last layer is made up of microfiber by one or both sides and avoid the effect of paying adding adhesive and bring at the core net.The average diameter of fiber is greater than 8 microns in the cementing layer, and wherein the diameter of 75% fiber has 7 microns at least.In addition, in optimum implementation, its cementing layer has initial adhesion degree between higher fiber.
Put it briefly, best cloth manufactured according to the present invention is compared with the meltblown fiber web that shows the routine of producing with technology, the fiber that it is characterized in that the former core net has long average length, lower inter-fibre-bond degree, the thinner fibre diameter that higher single line intensity and dispersion train are narrower, thereby have higher resistance liquid penetrating power, it also have one deck at least by thick diameter fibrous, preferably have a cementing layer of higher inter-fibre-bond degree.
The method that obtains the desirable core net of best cloth of the present invention and cementing layer characteristic is built some the critical variablees in the control process flow process, to obtain the characteristic of desirable fiber, stratum reticulare and cloth.These variablees comprise extrusion temperature, primary air flow and temperature, secondary air flow and become net distance (from the mould to the receiver).These variablees are described as follows for having the critical desirable stratum reticulare and the influence of cementing layer characteristic:
For core net and cementing layer, keep lowlyer if will enter the temperature of the liquation of mould than the technological requirement of prior art, for example low 10 to 35 ℃, the intensity of single fiber just can be greatly improved.The general melt temperature that enters mould in technology of the present invention only exceeds than the fusing point of used polymer and is no more than about 75 ℃.
When forming the core net, the flow velocity of the flow velocity of primary air and temperature and auxiliary air and temperature must be adjusted to the fiber that can obtain this given polymer maximum intensity under stretching condition not.The high flow rate that auxiliary air uses among the present invention makes the fiber of core net prolong time and distance in the process of scattering, thereby helps to improve the intensity of fiber.Auxiliary air does not play significant feature when producing the cementing layer fiber, preferably without auxiliary air so that when forming best cementing layer, between the fiber higher initial adhesion degree is arranged.
Fibre length in core net and surperficial cementing layer is subjected to the influence of the fall progressively degree of decomposition and the air flow field uniformity of first and second air velocity, polymer, and wherein the uniformity of air flow has the importance of most critical.The very important point is the high homogeneity that will keep air-flow and fibre stream, avoid the scrambling on significantly disturbance, eddy current, itemize and other fluidised forms.Use the auxiliary air of high flow rate to help to control air/fiber a fluid stream, its cooling fiber also keeps the uniformity of the orientation of fiber molecule, produces the higher fiber of intensity, makes it to have the bigger ability that resistance is broken by inhomogeneous air-flow.
For the fiber laydown of core net is being become on the net conveyor to form netted and to have lower galley proof tensile strength, moulding air-flow and moulding distance obviously have importance.In technology of the present invention, the moulding distance is generally between 20 to 50 centimetres.At first, in order to make the core netting gear minimum inter-fibre-bond degree is arranged, fiber should considerably solidify when reaching net conveyor, is not clamminess in the surface.The time that fiber is had solidify, can become net conveyor and receiver to remove from mould.But as distance is excessive, during promptly greater than 50 centimetres, just is difficult to keep the uniformity of air/fiber flow, thereby " making a rope by twisting the strands together " phenomenon may occur." make a rope by twisting the strands together " is that a kind of indivedual some fibre twists together in air-flow and forms a branch of coarse-fibred phenomenon.The performance of the undue resistance liquid infiltration that will reduce the cloth of producing of making a rope by twisting the strands together also can influence its outward appearance.Primary air flows can be improved chance that fiber scatters and the distance that relatively prolongs its phenomenon of not making a rope by twisting the strands together highly uniformly.
The primary air volume also is an important factor.Must use enough primary air volumes under given polymer flow rate and moulding length condition, so that fiber can separate in air/fibre stream well, and the phenomenon of will making a rope by twisting the strands together is reduced to bottom line.
The use of auxiliary air is for to obtain lower inter-fibre-bond degree under the phenomenon condition of making a rope by twisting the strands together in the core net also be important not producing.As having noticed the front, secondary air streams at a high speed is effective to improving air/fiber flow uniformity.Therefore, it has improved in the downward possibility that grows up to the type distance of the condition that does not produce the nonconforming phenomenon of making a rope by twisting the strands together.In addition, owing to auxiliary air is under the room temperature, also can be lower when needing, it can be used for cooling off in the short period of time and coagulated fibre, thereby avoids using the necessity of long and harmful moulding distance.In order to make secondary ventilation system have influence to the mobile uniformity and the speed reduction rate of cooling effect and fiber, it should have enough flow velocitys, is flooded by primary air fully and its flow is also unlikely.In this technology, the flow velocity of auxiliary air is got 30 meter per second to 200 meter per seconds or the higher stream condition expected of can obtaining effectively.Obviously, can in all sorts of ways and compound mode is coordinated the flow, temperature of first and second air and moulding distance to obtain the low bondability between the fiber in the core net of not embossed.Concrete technological parameter is decided by the properties of product of polymer, Mould design and air system thereof, ratio defective product and the requirement used.
The core net of not embossed or the core net of multilayer not embossed must be glued together to form best cloth of the present invention.Using the heat bonding technology is best mode by identification.In a best approach of the present invention, the heat bonding of core net and which floor core net and cementing layer combine in the heat embossing operation with the heat bonding of core net to be finished.Ultrasonic wave or machine printed roller system with heating and pressurization function all are available.For purposes of the invention, the machine printed system is adopted in suggestion, and one of them is positioned at the surface of the cylinder of cloth one side engraves, and the surface that is positioned at the cylinder of cloth opposite side is flat, obtains the bonding effect of multiple spot with this." pin hole " occur on cloth, it is comparatively desirable to leave 0.01 to 0.02 mm clearance between upper and lower cylinder.For the purposes that cloth of the present invention is considered, the gross area of embossing should be between 5% to 30%, preferably between 10% to 20% on the cloth charge level.In the example of an explanation this programme, the area of embossing is 18%, and the pattern of embossing is 0.76 millimeter * 0.76 millimeter a rhombus, has 31 Argyles on every square centimeter the rolling drum surface.The concrete pattern that embossing is used is also non-key, and any pattern that accounts for cloth cover 5% to 30% area all can use.
Principle of the present invention can be used for any commercially available resin, such as the polymer of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polyester or any polymer or mixing, as long as they can be meltblown into fiber, can use.Find to use polyamide, especially nylon-6 (polycaprolactam) to be particularly conducive to obtain outward appearance good, be subjected to that the cobalt radiation exposure is not perishable, advantage such as balance is good and easy to process between the characteristic.
Before mention, the basis weight of best cloth of the present invention is 14 to 85 gram/rice 2Cementing layer separately forms in this way, and its basis weight is about 6 gram/rice 2About, form simultaneously in this way, then its basis weight is about 3 gram/rice 2About.The basis weight of general cementing layer should not surpass 10 to 15 gram/rice 2, because the basis weight of cementing layer is big, the basis weight that must reduce the core net is to keep desired cloth basis weight.The minimum of this cloth is grabbed the ratio of sample tensile strength and weight greater than 0.8 newton/grammeter 2, the ratio of its minimum Erichsen tear resistance and weight is greater than 0.04 newton/grammeter 2, its hygrometric state and dry state surface abrasion resistance fastness are greater than 15 Zhou Qituan.For the medical cloth that requires high strength and high abrasion fastness, the basis weight of best cloth is not more than 60 gram/rice 2, minimum is grabbed sample tensile strength and is not less than 65 newton, and minimum Erichsen tear resistance is not less than 6 newton, and dry state surface abrasion resistance fastness reaches 40 all groups of rising at least and the wet surfaces wear resistance reaches 30 Zhou Qituan at least.
Should understand fiber, net or the cloth of using manufacturing of the present invention can combine with multiple mode, can be with other fibers with different performance, net, cloth in conjunction with the product that has specially appointed performance with formation.
Some examples are provided below, and purpose is to further specify the present invention; Under any circumstance they do not represent in the present invention the perhaps limit of scope.

From the table II as can be known, No. 5 clothes grab sample tensile strength than No. 4 cloth height, but it stops performance and decreases, this on the data of hydrostatic head as can be seen; Wear resistance does not then change.No. 6 and No. 7 clothes improve to some extent their wear resistance owing to having added cementing layer (No. 3 nets).But No. 6 and No. 7 clothes are owing to close with No. 3 anastomoses of cementing layer, and its standardized sample tensile strength of grabbing decreases successively, and this is because cementing layer has increased the weight of cloth, but does not have No. 2 nets like that many by the tensile strength that Unit Weight increases.The cementing layer of No. 3 net formations slightly improves the hydrostatic head data of No. 6 and No. 7 clothes, and it is remarkable that the surface abrasion resistance fastness is then carried nice and high.
The measuring method of dry state surface abrasion resistance fastness is as follows: tested cloth sample places on the foam pad on the testing machine base plate, the emery cloth of standard Li Telong (Lytron) face that one 7.6 cm x is 12.7 centimetres is contained on the top board of testing machine and with the test cloth specimen and contacts, and the warp direction of cloth specimen is parallel with the warp direction of emery cloth.Press one 1.1 kilograms weight on top board, with 1.25 rev/min the rotational speed of base plate to fix, whenever turning around is called " 1 week " then.Changeed the first round 5 circle and inspected the surface of sample cloth later on magnifying glass, later revolution 5 circles are inspected once, note to reach sample cloth has been ground the required all numbers of group, and it is ground all numbers that the hole is come." group of rising " is defined as the fibre shedding on the cloth cover and begins and form round and round or pearl.Altogether 4 cloth specimens are tested, got its average all number that reach the group of mill and grind the hole as the data in the report.
Similar methods is adopted in wet surfaces wear resistance test, and it does not exist together and is: cloth specimen drips 5 pure water, only 0.2 kilogram of the weight of pressing on the top board after being fixed on the base plate of testing machine on its face.

As show shown in the V, the surface abrasion resistance fastness of No. 13 clothes increases, and its Ku Shi coefficient that dangles has increased substantially.The addition that increases adhesive again will further improve its wear resistance, but will further have a negative impact to its drapability.
The surface abrasion resistance fastness of No. 14 clothes than No. 13 is much higher, but is not accompanied by the forfeiture of drapability.No. 15 cloth is having more improvement again than No. 14 aspect the surface abrasion resistance fastness.It is believed that this raising is because the cause that the initial adhesion degree has improved between the fiber in No. 11 nets.
Therefore, can clearly find out, the invention provides a kind of melt-blown micro-fiber cloth novel, that do not strengthen, it has the surface abrasion resistance fastness that improved to satisfy purpose, target and the advantage that proposes above.Though the present invention describes in conjunction with specific embodiment, many alternative other schemes, improvement and modification obviously also can be arranged, they will be open-and-shut later on for the explanation of the people who is familiar with the industry on read.Therefore, all meet the spirit of back claim and alternative plan, improvement and the modification of broad range, all belong to the category of the claim of being applied for.
