The inventor by polyolefin-based fiber production nonwoven cloth material, described polyolefin-based fiber has bulkiness and the elasticity that is comparable to polyester fiber, therefore the application extension with polyamide fiber and nonwoven fabric arrives more commercial Application, above-mentioned commercial Application is previous because their not enough so far bulkiness or elasticity has been got rid of the product based on polyamide fiber.
Surprisingly, the inventor has found that high fiber bulkiness needn't be corresponding to high nonwoven fabric bulkiness.The inventor finds, for nonwoven fabric, compares with having higher fibre/fibre frictional force, and low fibre/fibre frictional force produces higher bulkiness.Be not limited under the situation of particular theory, this be because, to small part owing to be easy to the fiber of low friction is moved freely in used combing and thermal process.The fiber of these low frictions is because their smooth property has low fiber bulkiness.
The bulkiness of nonwoven fabric depends on, depends in part on the characteristic of polyamide fiber at least.The inventor finds that fiber properties influences the bulkiness of nonwoven fabric to a great extent, and has prepared the fiber that is suitable for preparing the nonwoven fabric with needed bulkiness.
First purpose of the present invention relates to the fiber that is suitable for preparing bulk nonwoven fabric.The inventor has determined to be the bulk necessary fiber properties of nonwoven fabric of acquisition, that is, and and can be to the fibre/fibre frictional force of small part by selecting to comprise that mainly polysiloxane emulsion is controlled; The draw ratio that is fit to; With the fibre crystallinity that is fit to.The inventor finds that any of suitable these parameters of setting makes can prepare bulk nonwoven fabric.Therefore, have at least one based on the fiber of polyolefin polymer and be selected from following characteristic:
I) fibre/fibre frictional force is no more than 600g;
The spinning oil that ii) mainly comprises polysiloxane emulsion;
Iii) draw ratio was at least 1: 1.5, and final fibre fineness is the 2-10 dtex usually;
Iv) fibre crystallinity is at least 50%.
As mentioned above, in order to obtain bulk polyolefin nonwoven fabric, fibre/fibre frictional force is the important parameter that should suitably set.In preferred embodiments, fibre/fibre frictional force is no more than 500g, as is no more than 400g.Fibre/fibre frictional force is generally 200~1000g, as 200~800g, and preferred 200~600g, more preferably 200~500g, most preferably 200~400g.
The present inventor finds that the type of spinning oil has appreciable impact to the fiber bulkiness.Found that the type of spinning oil controlled fibre/fibre frictional force to a certain extent, it has controlled the fiber bulkiness to a certain extent.Therefore, found that the spinning oil of giving the low fibre/fibre frictional force of fiber demonstrates low fiber bulkiness.Under the situation that is not limited to specific theory, think that this effect is to be produced by the smooth property of fiber, wherein said fiber can not be separated from one another, thereby cause low relatively fiber bulkiness.
As mentioned above, fibre/fibre frictional force depends on, depends in part on the selection of spinning oil at least.In this article, " spinning oil " meaning be in spinning process (first kind of finish) with at subsequently drawing process (second kind of finish) but in fluid composition on the paint fiber.Wherein, spinning oil is by making fibre lubrication and making their antistatic spinning processes that makes easier.Can use antistatic additive to guarantee that fiber is not charged in spinning and drawing process; As described herein, in spinning oil, can use anion, CATION and non-ionic antistatic agent.The total amount of the antistatic additive on the paint fiber is preferably low as far as possible when still obtaining needed antistatic effect, and as 0.01~0.5 weight %, preferred 0.02~0.35 weight %, and more preferably 0.05~0.2 weight % are based on the amount of fiber.The amount of antistatic additive also preferably remains on minimum of a value in second kind of spinning oil.The amount of the spinning oil that preferably applies in spinning process is higher than the amount that applies in drawing process.When containing cationic antistatic agent in second kind of spinning oil, described cationic antistatic agent more preferably is at most 10% amount existence, based on total effective dose of second kind of spinning oil preferably to be at most 20%.
Combine with pencil in order to ensure filament, spinning oil can contain a certain amount of reagent of giving viscosity in addition.This makes fiber to process, and can tangle up.As described herein, the example that is used for the reagent of giving viscosity of this purpose is indeterminate plant oil, long-chain alcohol, ether and ester, methyl amimoacetic acid and non-ionic surface active agent.
For filament during processing does not wear or weares and teares, spinning oil can contain lubricant in addition, and described lubricant can be regulated fibre/fibre and fiber/metal friction power in process of production.Especially, must regulate fiber/metal friction power in the process in spinning stage, with respect to the fiber/metal friction power and the fiber in the crimping machine/metal friction power of draw roll.
Spinning oil contains water usually in addition and adds emulsifying agent or the surfactant that keeps in the aqueous solution lipophilic constituent more or less.Water is preferred solvent among the present invention; In order to eliminate possible environmental hazard, should avoid using other solvent as far as possible.
Fiber of the present invention typically contains the spinning oil that mainly comprises polysiloxane emulsion.More typically, fiber of the present invention contains the spinning oil that mainly comprises the polysiloxanes aqueous emulsion.The polysiloxanes aqueous emulsion that is suitable for being used in the spinning oil generally includes at least 25% effective content, the effective content as at least 30%, preferred at least 35% effective content, according to appointment 40%.It is 2~15% that spinning oil is suitable in concentration, applies as 5~10% times.
In typical embodiment, with respect to fiber, the level of the spinning oil that fiber contains is about 0.2~1%wt/wt, and is preferred 0.3~0.85% as 0.25~0.9%, and more preferably 0.35~0.85%.
Under the situation that is not limited to any specific spinning oil, particularly suitable spinning oil is Synthesin 7490 FILL according to the present invention This spinning oil comprises the elastomer based on siloxanes, and wherein, described elastomer comprises the modified polyorganosiloxane emulsion.Resemble Synthesin 7490 FILL The same, other finish that comprises the modified polyorganosiloxane emulsion also is fit to.Spinning oil is suitably at room temperature soluble in water, and it can be applied by flooding, padding or spray.When being about 100 ℃ in temperature, during as 80 ℃ of following dryings, spinning oil is crosslinked.
Spinning oil can apply in two or more stages.The active principle that is fit in the spinning oil, promptly antistatic additive, lubricant, emulsifying agent and the total concentration of giving the reagent of viscosity (are generally 0.7~2.5% effective content) and are usually less than in second kind of spinning oil and (be generally 4~12% effective content) in first kind of spinning oil.Therefore, the viscosity of first kind of spinning oil is lower usually.Thereby in having the dispersion of MV minium viscosity, it is favourable promptly using any high viscosity component in first kind of spinning oil.
In order to obtain high bulkiness in nonwoven fabric, another key property of fiber is a fibre crystallinity.As mentioned above, fibre crystallinity suitably is at least 50%.Therein in order to obtain in nonwoven fabric in the embodiment that high bulkiness controls fibre crystallinity, fibre crystallinity preferably at least 55% as at least 60%, is surveyed by DSC or XRD.
In another aspect of the present invention, can control bulkiness by used polymer grade (or matrix polymer) in the selection preparation fiber.Polymer be selected from polypropylene homopolymer and with the random copolymer of ethene, 1-butylene, 4-methyl-1-pentene etc. and the linear polyethylene of different densities, as high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low density of polyethylene and blend thereof.Polymeric material can with other non-polyolefin polymer, mix as polyamide or polyester, condition is the largest portion that polyolefin still constitutes composition.
In another aspect of the present invention, can be by selecting nucleator, as the nucleator controlling fiber bulkiness of in the polyolefin raw material, using.Nucleator usually is mixed for commercial Application with crystallization thermoplastic polymer, to give the characteristic of improvement, as the mechanical property of improvement.Known typical nucleator be aliphatic series or aromatic carboxylic acid slaine, contain the branched polymer and the mineral of ingotism (dendrittic) side chain, as chalk, gypsum, clay kaolin, mica, talcum and silicate.The nucleator of nearer research and development is fused to polymer melt, as based on D-D-sorbite and 1,3-2,4-is two-compound of (3,4-dimethyl benzene methylene)-D-D-sorbite in.
The effect of nucleator is the crystallization process that promotes in the matrix polymer.Nucleator constitutes very high surface area, and they are preferred nucleation sites in the matrix polymer.Nucleation process is main by reduce the specific area of described nucleator in matrix polymer, as the thermodynamic process that drives by the specific area that reduces chalk particle or talcum particle.
Nucleator has also promoted the polymer crystallization process.Therefore, nucleator can make more or less crystallization of matrix polymer, as unbodied many than crystallization basically, or crystallization more than unbodied basically.In this article, " crystallization " meaning is a crystal region in the amorphous polymer matrix, the zone of arranging with substantially parallel each other mode of rule as polymer chain or partial polymer chain therein.On the contrary, " amorphous " meaning is the interior zone of polymeric matrix that does not have the arrangement or the ordering of polymer chain therein basically.
In preferred embodiments, polyolefin is selected from the homopolymers and the copolymer of isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene homopolymer, monoolefine, as ethene, propylene, alpha-olefin, 4-methyl-1-pentene all-and altogether-polymers and blend, linear polyethylene, high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low density of polyethylene and blend thereof.More preferably polyolefin is selected from homopolymer polypropylene and homopolymer polyethylene.Most preferably polyolefin is a homopolymer polypropylene.
Degree of crystallinity is controlled by nucleator to small part.And this has also influenced the mechanical performance of polymer.For example, polymer chain of closely filling in crystal region or partial polymer chain will make the more given stress of polymer chain carrying of per unit area.And, since in crystallite polymer chain in long relatively distance closely and the rule contact, make Van der Waals force that they combine gradually than high in the amorphous region.Therefore, considerable crystalline polymer will improve the intensity and the rigidity of polymer.
