Summary of the invention
The present invention adopts the super fine nonwoven fabric of continuous fibers as leather base cloth, and before wet-process coating, base cloth has been opened fibre or base cloth itself and finely directly formed by super.The optional expanded range of leather base cloth, the impact that after coating, base cloth causes product physical and mechanical properties can be predicted comparatively exactly, improves quality and the emulation degree of product.Adopt the method for the invention can prepare the super fine leather of microcosmic " superfine fibre bundle-myelin " structure.
Technological process of the present invention and related description are as follows:
Technological process: continuous fibers super fine nonwoven fabric → " starching " → wet-process coating → " destarch " → product processing.
1, the super fine nonwoven fabric of continuous fibers is front in " starching ", has opened fibre, opens fine degree depending on final products style and performance requirement, opens fine rate at 20%-99%, and weight per unit area is at 40g/m
2-500g/m
2.After starching, fiber surface forms " pulp layer " of even thickness; After wet-process coating, in removing coagulating bath solvent or afterwards, will " pulp layer " from the interior Ex-all of super fine leather." slurry " is water soluble polymer, can be natural or synthetic, and acid, alkali, oxidant or reductant have hydrolysis or degradation to it, or its hydrolysis of catalysis or degraded, accelerates its removal from super fine leather, has following character when " starching ":
(1) slurries are good to super fine wettability, can use if desired surfactant, reduce slurry surface tension force, make that it is easy to sprawl at fiber surface, levelling;
(2) filming performance is good, to become epithelium not occur in typical wet-process coating agent swelling;
(3) easily remove.Can be fast from fiber surface dissociation, the slurry viscosity of backing off is low, easily from the gap of PU and fiber, washes out.
" slurry " is cellulose and derivative, starch and derivative thereof, converted starch, gelatin, alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyester polymer, polyacrylamide polymer and copolymer thereof, polyacrylate polymers and copolymer thereof, polyacrylonitrile base polymer and copolymer thereof.Can be used alone, also can mix use.For example, the polycondensation reaction of polyester easily occurs, and extent of polymerization is easily controlled, and monomer range of choice is wider, and polymer property is easily adjusted.By the adjustment to condensation monomer, can realize good adhesion to fiber and low viscosity again; Can also realize low surface tension and good permeability simultaneously.Common polyester pulp is easy to dissolve in boiling water; When mass percent is 6%, its viscosity is less than 6mPs; Can form good epithelium at fiber surface.Under alkali condition, can quick destarch in the water of 80 ℃.This base polymer is also very little to the pollution of environment, can realize biodegradation.
Control slurry the coated weight of fiber surface (after being starching before the gain in weight of nonwoven fabric and starching the ratio of nonwoven fabric weight) with " rate of sizing ", thereby control in sheath-like structure the size in space between fiber and PU." slurry " should have suitable viscosity, is beneficial on micro-scale film forming even.Balance between slurry stream levelling and viscosity can regulate by the molecular weight of " slurry " molecule, type of stock, solvent composition, surfactant, additive etc.According to weight per unit area and the porosity of leather base cloth, rate of sizing 0.2%-10%.When leather base cloth starching, adopt and flood, pad, repeatedly pad or the mode of blade coating is carried out.After starching, according to the character of different slurries, 50-150 ℃ of oven dry, can coordinate tentering simultaneously.
Superfine fibre specific area is large, and for the liquid that can infiltrate at fiber surface, the degree that it is sprawled and speed all can be accelerated greatly.Suitable surfactant can be strengthened this effect, and when particularly " slurries " viscosity is higher, because the equivalent capillary radius of superfine fibre net is very little, some space liquid will be difficult to enter, and the effect of surfactant is more important.For different slurries, need choose different surfactants, conventionally select anion or non-ionic surface active agent, or the two mixing use, consumption is the 0.05%-2% of sizing liquor weight.
2,, in the technique of PU wet-process coating, for the leather base cloth after " starching ", need to make corresponding adjustment:
First be the solvent of PU.The organic solvent using in the present invention comprises dimethyl formamide, toluene, dimethylbenzene, MEK, oxolane etc., can use separately or mix use.Apolegamy is when solvent, except consider coating agent viscosity, regulate setting rate, be adjusted to hole shape and density, adjusting evaporation rate etc., also to consider the effect to serous coat: in phase transition process, it is swelling that solvent can not make serous coat occur.For example, while adopting polyvinyl alcohol as slurry, PU solvent is selected dimethyl formamide and dimethylbenzene, and the two mass ratio is 95: 5.
Next is PU coagulating bath.In super fine leather wet-process coating technique, the processing of PU resin in coagulating bath is a very important link, in this stage, under the effect of concentration gradient formula, there is convection current in PU coating agent solvent and coagulating bath solvent, PU undergoes phase transition and separates out on coagulating bath interface, solidify gradually, form, the density etc. of hole is closely related with curing condition.Coagulating bath solvent is the mixed solvent of dimethyl formamide and water, and wherein dimethyl formamide volume fraction in mixed solvent is 10%-55%, and temperature is 20-65 ℃, and the processing time is 0.5-30min.In coagulating bath, surfactant is anion surfactant and non-ionic surface active agent, adjusts space form and the perforate degree of PU, and consumption is the 0.05%-2% of coagulating bath quality.In coagulating bath, contain inorganic salts: metal chloride, as sodium chloride, lithium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride; Metal sulfate, as sodium sulphate, magnesium sulfate; Metal carbonate and bicarbonate, as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate; Metal phosphate, as sodium phosphate.
The method of the invention is applicable to PAUR and EU.About other additives, look product demand such as cellulose, lignin, calcium carbonate, wollastonite and various organic and inorganic pigment, fire retardant, antioxidant, anti ultraviolet agent, antiseptic and add.
Wet-process coating implementing process is: starching leather base cloth is through repeatedly padding, scrape slurry, immerses coagulating bath after reaching the band slurry amount of setting.
3, " destarch " stage, according to slurry therewith, determine desizing condition.For EU, can in water, add alkaline agent, promote the swelling and stripping of slurry.As polyacrylate, polyesters slurry, can in water, add the NaOH of 5-20g/L, carry out destarch processing, then wash with water to neutrality.For the slurry with oxidation or deoxidization, degradation, can in water, add oxidant or reductant, promote slurry hydrolysis, improve destarch efficiency.As polyvinyl alcohol pulp, can in water, add 30% hydrogen peroxide 2-10g/L, NaOH 2-10g/L, carries out destarch processing, is then washed to neutrality.
Destarch temperature 40-95 ℃, time 15-60min.In destarch solution, can add the wetting agent of 0.2-2g/L.
4, product processing.The super fine leather of continuous fibers obtaining, through further processing and arrangement, can be developed diversified product.If slim super fine leather is through two-sided napping arrangement and soft finish, can make artificial suede; Super fine leather one side intumescent coating after napping, then does the direct coating of PU, can be made into smooth leather, through cotton ginning, stamp processing, can make embossing leather, stamp leather, coordinates embossing finishing can make decorative pattern to have the super fine leather of stereoeffect after stamp.
