Can be by known method, for example bulk polymerization, polymerisation in solution, suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerisation, thereby produce the PVA resin. there is not solvent in general the use or at solvent, for example bulk polymerization in the alcohol or polymerisation in solution. the example that is used for the solution of polymerisation in solution comprises lower alcohol, methyl alcohol for example, ethanol and propyl alcohol. at known initator, for example azo initiator or peroxide initiator, α for example, α '-azobis isobutyronitrile, 2,2 '-azo two (2, the 4-methyl pentane nitrile), benzoyl peroxide and peroxide carbonic acid n-propyl exist down, carry out copolymerization. and polymerization temperature is not crucial, and recommends 0-150 ℃ scope.
Can be effectively by spunbond method in conjunction with melt spinning, produce the long fibre net of making by the fiber that is used to form ultra tiny fiber.For example, melt-kneaded PVA resin and water-insoluble thermoplastic resin in different extruders respectively.With the nozzle of molten resin flow, be incorporated on the spinning head, and from nozzle, eject by combination.Composite long fiber by the cooling device cooling injection goes out uses aspirator, and employing speed by air flow jetting, is drawn into the fineness of being planned corresponding to the coiling speed of 1000-6000m/min, collects on the surface of moving then.After the long fiber that the part compression is collected, optionally obtain long fibre net.In view of handling easily in this technology, the long stapled fineness that therefore is used to form ultra tiny fiber is preferably 1-5dtex and unit mass is preferably 20-500g/m 2The preferred quantity of adjusting the island, so that the fineness of the average single fiber of gained fine filament preferably drops in the 0.0003-0.5dtex scope, more preferably 0.001-0.2dtex, this is because will obtain favourable leather-like sheet of flexibility and outward appearance and the leather-like sheet with good chromatic suede finish.Can for example pass through under transmission electron microscope, to observe the cross section or the surface of the dermatine of suede finish, thereby measure the average single fiber fineness of the fine filament of the dermatine that constitutes suede finish.
Using oil agent (oiling agent), the anti-broken needle of silicone oil, mineral oil or other type (anti-needle break) oil agent for example, after antistatic oil agent and entanglement oil agent oil to the long fibre net of so producing, the processing of tangling in known manner.For three dimensional entanglement and the easy apparent density that increases resulting sheet, preferred acupuncture.Optionally, oil for lamination (stack), tangle then by using the two-layer or more multi-layered long fibre net of stack such as cross lapping machine to obtain.When using this lamination, preferably reduce the unevenness of mass area ratio.Can come suitably to determine the quantity of long fibre net of stack and the quality of lamination unit are according to the thickness that leather-like sheet is planned.The gross mass of the fiber web unit are of stack is preferably 100-1000g/m 2, this is because handle easily.
In the processing of tangling, the fiber web of the stack of tangling is 2kg/2.5cm or bigger long fiber entanglement sheet material so that produce interlaminar strength.Interlaminar strength is preferably 4kg/2.5cm or bigger, and this is because the sense of touch and the good strength of leather-like sheet.Can estimate the three dimensional entanglement degree by interlaminar strength.If interlaminar strength is less than 2kg/2.5cm, it is not enough then to tangle, and even when by shrink process, when for example hot water shrinks high compaction, also can not obtain to have the leather-like sheet of sufficient intensity and natural leather shape densification sense of touch.In addition, occur because the wrinkle defective that fiber slides and causes.Do not stipulate the upper limit of interlaminar strength particularly, but consider the balance between acupuncture load and the sense of touch, consider the problem such as broken needle, be preferably 30kg/2.5cm or still less.
Do not limit the condition of acupuncture particularly, for example kind of oil agent and consumption, the shape of pin, depth of needling and pin hole quantity are as long as obtain interlaminar strength in above-mentioned scope.For example, although when barb (barb) quantity increases, acupuncture is more effective, and selecting barb quantity is 1-9, so that do not cause broken needle.Can set depth of needling, so that the barb of pin arrives the fibroreticulate surface of stack and do not have tangible acupuncture mark.The quantity of acupuncture is preferably 500-5000 pin hole/cm 2, but this depends on the shape of pin and the kind and the consumption of oil agent.The quality optimization of unit are is at least 1.5 times and more preferably at least 1.7 times of quality before the processing of tangling after entanglement is handled, and this is because can easily prevent wrinkling.The upper limit is not concrete and in view of successfully carrying out this method and avoid increasing because of the process velocity that reduces causes production cost, therefore preferred 4 times or still less.
To handling by tangling, for example the sheet material of the long fiber entanglement of acupuncture production carries out shrink process then.For the substrate as leather-like sheet, the percentage reduction of area in shrink process that requires to represent with following formula is 35% or bigger:
[area before (area after the area-contraction before shrinking)/contraction] * 100
If percentage reduction of area is less than 35%, then the apparent density of gained extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet is not enough height, the feasible shape that is difficult to keep sheet material.This negative effect disposal ability conversely and with the processing effect of the production stage of the substrate that is used for leather-like sheet of elastomeric polymer dipping and the substrate that is used for leather-like sheet that can not get having sufficient intensity.Consider the limit of physics shrinkage factor and sense of touch, the upper limit of percentage reduction of area is preferably 80% or still less.
Can pass through known method, preferably handle, thereby carry out shrink process by hot water treatment or Steam Heating.
Can be by carrying out shrink process and comprise the step that changes into ultra tiny fiber of removing (removing) by dissolving simultaneously by extraction, thus carry out hot water treatment.Preferably, handle this two stage mode with shrink process and extraction and carry out hot water treatment, this is because of shrinking the efficient height and can extracting simultaneously, so that this technology is effective.For example, in the phase I, at preferred 65-85 ℃, more preferably soak the sheet material 5-300 second that long fiber tangles in 70-80 ℃ the hot water, with in second stage,, more preferably soak the sheet material 100-600 second that long fiber tangles in 90-100 ℃ the hot water at preferred 85-100 ℃.
In steam heat is handled, in relative humidity preferred 75% or bigger, more preferably 90% or bigger steam atmosphere in heat treatment long fiber sheet material 60-600 second of tangling.If relative humidity is 75% or bigger, then will prevent to adhere to the rapid draing of the water on the sheet material that long fiber tangles, to guarantee 35% or bigger percentage reduction of area.The temperature of shrink process (temperature of atmosphere) is preferably 60-130 ℃, and this is because the sheet material that this device is operated easily and long fiber tangles shrinks widely.Because the PVA resin is dissolving fully not, therefore, in the production of the little fabric of thickness, use steam heat to handle.According to the kind of device, technology and final products, carry out the heat treated selection of hot water treatment or steam.
Continue shrink process, before the quality of unit are after the shrink process reaches shrink process 1.2-4 times (in mass) of the quality of unit are, be preferably 1.3-4 doubly (in mass), this is because can obtain to have the outward appearance of the suede finish of the fine and close sense of touch of hide-like, high cashmere density, high-quality and good writing effect.By aforesaid shrink process, with percentage reduction of area is 35% or the sheet material that tangles of bigger long fiber and form the fine filament that long fiber that ultra tiny fiber uses changes into the average preferred 0.0003-0.5dtex of single fiber fineness, to obtain extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet of the present invention.Its thickness is preferably 0.2-10mm, and the quality optimization of unit are is 50-3500g/m 2, but this depends on the final use of extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet.
Extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet has the known up to now fine and close sense of touch of being made by fiber only of supatex fabric, and the leather-like sheet that can directly be used as particle arrangement or suede finish is made into the substrate that is used for leather-like sheet with more stable shaped reservation with substrate, preferably by the elastomeric polymer of dipping as adhesive.Weave or braided fabric can pass through known laminating method, be integrated in the extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet, if purpose of the present invention and effect do not have affected words.
Elastomeric polymer (adhesive resin) available among the present invention can be selected from any polymer, as long as they are flexible and can exemplify polyurethane, butadiene-styrene rubber (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), polyamino acid and acryloid cement, wherein preferably use polyurethane, this is because the sense of touch of leather-like sheet and functional.More preferably use the elastomeric polymer of aqueous emulsion type, this is because it does not need organic solvent and environmental friendliness.
Solution or aqueous emulsion for example by wherein flooding elastomeric polymer, the wet method method of solidifying then, perhaps wherein flood the solution or the aqueous emulsion of elastomeric polymer, dry then for bonding method, thereby flooding. the hot glue of aqueous emulsion coagulates preferred 30 ℃ or higher of temperature, but less than 60 ℃, more preferably 32-58 ℃. can be by selecting the kind of elastomeric polymer, the concentration of emulsion, with hot gelling agent, inorganic salts for example, the addition of sodium sulphate for example, or use known thickener, adjust hot glue and coagulate temperature in above-mentioned scope. in known method, in view of the easy degree of handling, yet it is 60 ℃ or higher that common setting hot glue coagulates temperature., in the present invention, set hot glue and coagulate temperature less than 60 ℃, so that in whole sheet material, distribute elastomeric polymer equably. if hot glue coagulates temperature less than 60 ℃, then can avoid elastomeric polymer uneven distribution on the surface of extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet, this is because will prevent to solidify before elastomeric polymer is moved to inside. in addition, can avoid wrinkling, this is because the elastomeric polymer that distributes prevents to move with intrabasement each fine filament at leather-like sheet equably. if hot glue coagulates temperature is 30 ℃ or higher, then the storage stability of emulsion is good, this is because will prevent emulsion aggregation. the amount of elastomeric polymer to be impregnated is preferably 35% or still less, more preferably 1-35%, more preferably 1-15% still, wherein separately based on the gross mass of gained leather-like sheet with substrate (extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet+elastomeric polymer). if the amount of elastomeric polymer to be impregnated is 35% or still less, then obtain leather-like sheet with flexible touch and sufficient intensity.
By making surface nappy, softening processing and dyeing are handled, thereby leather-like sheet are made the leather-like sheet of suede finish with substrate.By known method, for example use sand paper or card clothing, polishing is handled, thereby carries out napping.Among elastomeric polymer dipping or afterwards, by known method, form epidermal area and the step by subsequently in its surface: embossed technology, softening handle and dyeing is handled, thus extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet is made the leather-like sheet of particle arrangement or the arrangement of half particle.So the leather-like sheet of producing is crease-resistant in its production process, and the drapability that has the fine and close sense of touch of natural hide-like and cause because of long fiber, therefore is suitable as clothes, shoes, gloves and inner furniture, for example sofa material.
In using the sea-island long fiber production leather-like sheet that forms ultra tiny fiber and use, usually be difficult to prevent because of in high-temperature step, for example remove and shrink the long fiber that causes in the step of sea component and the staining procedure and move, the result forms irregular wrinkle in many cases on whole sheet surface.Especially when the content of adhesive resin hanged down, this became more obvious.Producing the leather-like sheet do not contain the extra-fine filament-interlaced sheet of elastomeric polymer or to contain elastomeric polymer in a small amount with in the inventive method of substrate, by under the situation that does not have elastomeric polymer or before elastomeric polymer dipping, remove PVA resin (sea component), thereby change into ultra tiny fiber.Utilize this technology, can relax fully at entanglement step and the distortion that changes into the fine filament (island component) that causes in the step of ultra tiny fiber.In addition, resulting sheet has high apparent density, and this is because entanglement abundance and shrinkage factor are big, and this makes that fine filament and sheet material are difficult to stretch, and the result improves fine filament and leather-like sheet uses the shape of substrate to keep.This improved shape reservation prevents in the production of leather-like sheet wrinkling, and the result obtains having the seldom leather-like sheet of wrinkle.In addition, production method environmental sound of the present invention, this is because under the situation that not have to use the organic solvent harmful to human body and environment, the leather-like sheet that generation has superperformance.
