Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung befaßt sich mit einem zweischich­tigen, heißsiegelfähigen Vliesstoff mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a two-layer, heat-sealable nonwoven having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

US-A 4,490,427 beschreibt ein eigenstabiles Heißsiegelband, aufgebaut aus einer Parallelenschar thermoplastisch erweich­barer Fäden, welche untereinander über wirr abgelegte ther­moplastische Fasern themisch verbunden sin. Vorzugsweise werden Polymerfasern aus Materialien eingesetzt, welche einen Schmelzpunkt unter 150°C besitzen, wie Co-, Ter- oder höhere Polymere von Polyamiden oder Polyestern, z.B. ein Terpolymer aus Nylon 6, Nylon 66 und Nylon 12. Die erreichbare Zugfe­stigkeit dieses Produktes ist nicht in allen Anwendungsfäl­len ausreichend, wie der folgende Vergleich von Stapelfasern (Quelle: E. Wagner, Die textilen Rohstoffe, DFV Frankfurt (Main), (1981)) mit den obengenannten thermoplastischen Fa­sern (eigene Messungen) zeigt:

Figure imgb0001
Die niedrigen Werte der letzteren Fasern sind bedingt durch die niedere Kristallinität bzw. geringe Verstrek­kungsorientierung.US-A 4,490,427 describes an inherently stable heat-sealing tape, built up from a parallel group of thermoplastic softenable threads, which are thematically connected to one another via tangled thermoplastic fibers. Polymer fibers made from materials which have a melting point below 150 ° C., such as co-, ter- or higher polymers of polyamides or polyesters, for example a terpolymer made of nylon 6, nylon 66 and nylon 12, are preferably used. The tensile strength of this product is not achievable sufficient in all applications, as the following comparison of staple fibers (source: E. Wagner, Die textile Rohstoffe, DFV Frankfurt (Main), (1981)) with the above-mentioned thermoplastic fibers (own measurements) shows:
Figure imgb0001
The low values of the latter fibers are due to the low crystallinity or low orientation towards stretching.

In US-A 4,440,819 wird eine Faseranordnung angegeben, bei der unidirektional gerichtete, zugfeste Hochmodulfasern, vorzugsweise Mineralfasern, mittels polymerer Wirrfasern miteinander schmelzverbunden sind. Diese Schicht kann in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung mit Harz imprägniert und zu einem mehrlagigen Schichtstoff laminiert sein. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß, insbesondere bei Flächengewich­ten über 40 g/m², solchen Laminaten das erforderliche Längs­dehnungsvermögen fehlt.US Pat. No. 4,440,819 specifies a fiber arrangement in which unidirectionally directed, high-tensile high-modulus fibers, preferably mineral fibers, are melt-bonded to one another by means of polymeric tangled fibers. In a preferred embodiment, this layer can be impregnated with resin and laminated to form a multi-layer laminate. It has been shown, however, that such laminates lack the required longitudinal elongation capacity, particularly in the case of grammages above 40 g / m 2.

GB-B 1,117,751 beschreibt die Herstellung eines heißsiegel­fähigen Versteifungsmaterials, wobei thermoplastische Fa­sern vorzugsweise auf einen sich kontinuierlich bewegenden Vliesstoffträger extrudiert und dabei miteinander sowie mit dem Träger verschmolzen werden. Alternativ besteht der Trä­ger aus von der Fasermatte abziehbarem Silikonpapier.GB-B 1,117,751 describes the production of a heat-sealable stiffening material, thermoplastic fibers preferably being extruded onto a continuously moving nonwoven carrier and being fused to one another and to the carrier. Alternatively, the carrier consists of silicone paper that can be removed from the fiber mat.

Auch das Schmelzblasen von Fasern, wie es in DE-PS 23 34 741 (= US-A 3,825,380) beschrieben ist, ist dabei zur Herstel­lung geeignet.The meltblowing of fibers, as described in DE-PS 23 34 741 (= US-A 3,825,380), is also suitable for the production.

Typische Flächengewichte aller vorbeschriebenen, bekannten, dünnen Vliesmaterialien, vorzugsweise als 10 bis 13 mm brei­te Bänder konfektioniert, sind 20 bis 80 g/m². Ihnen mangelt es an der erforderlichen Zugfestigkeit. Schwerere und somit festere Ausführungen, z.B. die soeben genannten Laminate, sind möglich; sie besitzen jedoch eine ungünstig erhöhte Sprödigkeit. Alle diese Eigenschaften bekannter Bänder wir­ken sich insbesondere beim Einsatz in Hochgeschwindigkeits-­Verarbeitungsmaschinen negativ aus.Typical basis weights of all the known thin nonwoven materials described above, preferably made up as tapes 10 to 13 mm wide, are 20 to 80 g / m 2. They lack the required tensile strength. Heavier and therefore firmer versions, e.g. the laminates just mentioned are possible; however, they have an unfavorably increased brittleness. All of these properties of known belts have a negative effect particularly when used in high-speed processing machines.

Es liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen heißsiegelfähigen zweilagigen, auch mit Hochgeschwin­digkeitsvorrichtungen beschädigungslos zu verarbeitenden Vliessstoff anzugeben, der, insbesondere auch in Form eines Bandes, über einen Gewichtsbereich von 10 bis 180 g/m² we­der zu niedrige Zugfestigkeit noch zu hohe Sprödigkeit zeigt. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht, ausgehend von dem in GB-B 1,117,751 aufgezeigten Stand der Technik, in einem Vliesstoff mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Die Unteransprüche weisen auf bevorzugte Ausführungs­formen hin.It is the object of the present invention to provide a heat-sealable two-layer nonwoven fabric which can be processed without damage even with high-speed devices and which, in particular also in the form of a tape, shows neither too low a tensile strength nor too high brittleness over a weight range of 10 to 180 g / m 2 . This problem is solved, starting from the prior art shown in GB-B 1,117,751, in a nonwoven fabric with the characterizing features of claim 1. The subclaims indicate preferred embodiments.

Die erste Schicht des erfindungsgemäßen Vliesstoffes kann aus wirr angeordneten thermoplastischen Polymerfilamenten oder aus parallelen thermoplastischen Polymer-Filamenten bestehen, welche letztere miteinander durch wirr abgelegte thermoplastische Filamente schmelzverbunden sind, wie dies in der erwähnten US-A 4,490,427 angegeben ist.The first layer of the nonwoven fabric according to the invention can consist of randomly arranged thermoplastic polymer filaments or of parallel thermoplastic polymer filaments, the latter being melt-bonded to one another by randomly deposited thermoplastic filaments, as indicated in the aforementioned US Pat. No. 4,490,427.

Die Fasern der zweiten, heißsiegelfähigen Schicht können beliebig miteinander verfestigt sein, so z. B. durch Hitze-­und/oder Druckanwendung, durch polymere Bindemitteldisper­sionen oder durch Kombinationen der genannten Verfestigungs­arten. Für die Heißsiegelfähigkeit der zweiten Schicht ge­eignete Fasermaterialien sind dabei die bei einschichtigen, aufbügelbaren Vliesstoffen bekannten (US-A 4,490,427) Co-, Ter- oder höheren Polyester, ebensolche Polyamide oder Po­lyvinylchlorid, so z. B. ein Terpolymer aus Nylon 6, Nylon 66 und Nylon 12. In jedem Falle muß erfindungsgemäß der Schmelzpunkt dieser Fasern im Bereich von 75 bis 140°C lie­gen und niedriger als der jenige der nicht bindenden Fasern sein.The fibers of the second, heat-sealable layer can be solidified with one another as desired. B. by application of heat and / or pressure, by polymeric binder dispersions or by combinations of the types of consolidation mentioned. For the heat sealability of the second layer, suitable fiber materials are the known in the case of single-layer, iron-on nonwovens (US Pat. No. 4,490,427) co-, ter- or higher polyesters, such polyamides or polyvinyl chloride, such as, for. B. a terpolymer of nylon 6, nylon 66 and nylon 12. In any case, the melting point of these fibers according to the invention must be in the range of 75 to 140 ° C and lower than that of the non-binding fibers.

Die Summe aller thermoplastischen, bindefähigen Fasern und Filamente im gesamten Vliesstoffverbund muß zwischen 40 und 98 Gew.-% betragen.The total of all thermoplastic, bindable fibers and filaments in the entire nonwoven composite must be between 40 and 98% by weight.

Vorzugsweise macht das Flächengewicht der zweiten, heißsie­gelfähigen Vliesstoffschicht 5 bis 60% desjenigen des Ge­samtverbundes aus.The weight per unit area of the second heat-sealable nonwoven layer preferably makes up 5 to 60% of that of the overall composite.

In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist die heißsiegelfähige zweite Vliesstoffschicht unregelmäßig verteilte Öffnungen von 0,5 bis 5 mm Breite und 1 bis 50 mm Länge bei einem Breite/Länge-Verhältnis von 1:20 bis 1:100 auf.In a further preferred embodiment, the heat-sealable second nonwoven layer has irregularly distributed openings of 0.5 to 5 mm in width and 1 to 50 mm in length with a width / length ratio of 1:20 to 1: 100.

Der Abstand der Öffnungen zueinander kann über einen wei­ten Bereich bis hinab zu Faserdicken-Dimensionen variiert werden, ebenso die Größe der Öffnungen. Diese vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung erlaubt bei Einwirkung von Hitze und Druck auf den Vliesstoff dessen allseitige Durchdringung mit den heißsiegelfähigen Komponenten; der Verbund verhält sich damit wie ein einschichtiger heißsiegelfähiger Vliesstoff.The spacing of the openings from one another can be varied over a wide range down to fiber thickness dimensions, as can the size of the openings. This advantageous embodiment allows heat and pressure to act on the nonwoven fabric so that it can penetrate on all sides with the heat-sealable components; the composite thus behaves like a single-layer, heat-sealable nonwoven.

Das Herstellungsverfahren für den erfindungsgemäßen Vlies­stoff erfolgt zweckmäßig analog dem eingangs dargelegten, in GB-B 1,117,751 beschriebenen Extrusions- oder Schmelz­blasverfahren, wobei die erste Vliesstoffschicht den kon­tinuierlich bewegten textilen Träge bildet, auf welchen die zweite, heißsiegelfähige Faserschicht dauerhaft fixiert wird.The manufacturing process for the nonwoven fabric according to the invention is advantageously carried out analogously to the extrusion or meltblowing process described at the beginning, described in GB-B 1,117,751, the first nonwoven fabric layer forming the continuously moving textile backing on which the second heat-sealable fiber layer is permanently fixed.

Der erfindungsgemäße, heißsiegelfähige Verbundstoff besitzt eine überraschend verbesserte Zugfestigkeit, eine gute Haf­tung auf Oberstoffen, wie z. B. Baumwolle/Polyester, Poly­ester, Nylon oder Baumwolle, sowie eine einfachere Herstell­barkeit, ohne dabei eine Zwischenträgerschicht zu benötigen. Diese verbesserten Eigenschaften erweitern das Anwendungs­gebiet eines solchen Vliesstoffverbundes auf solche Fälle, wo hohe Zugfestigkeiten zwingend erforderlich sind und wo die bisherigen heißsiegelfähigen Vliesstoffe daher versa­gen mußten.The heat-sealable composite according to the invention has a surprisingly improved tensile strength, good adhesion to outer materials, such as. As cotton / polyester, polyester, nylon or cotton, and easier to manufacture, without the need for an intermediate support layer. These improved properties extend the field of application of such a nonwoven composite to those cases where high tensile strengths are absolutely necessary and where the previous heat-sealable nonwovens had to fail.
