Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production of carrier-free and release agent-free, thermally activatable nonwovens based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes, and to the use thereof for bonding different substrates.
- thermo-activatable films based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes are their low gas permeability and their hardening of the handle, which is particularly important when gluing textiles, as well as the relatively high weight per unit area, which is a higher material costs.
- thermo-activatable films based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes is therefore important for technical applications, e.g. Laminating parts for the automotive interior, limited.
- a larger and closed-area adhesive application is necessary for some composite structures, e.g. To absorb the restoring forces of deep-drawn soft PVC films, there are sufficient fields of application where it is possible to work with less adhesive and a closed film-like surface structure of the applied adhesive is only a disadvantage.
- the films which can be thermally activated and are used to bond various substrates can be produced by a wide variety of processes.
- thermoplastic elastomers e.g. Polyurethanes
- monofilm blown film extrusion process The production of foils from thermoplastic elastomers, e.g. Polyurethanes, using the monofilm blown film extrusion process.
- an internal release agent or spacer must be added to the relatively strong adhesive thermoplastics before blowing the film tube, otherwise the film webs will stick to one another after being laid flat by means of a squeeze roller and subsequently can no longer be separated.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to avoid the disadvantages mentioned when using solvent-containing adhesives and also when using solvent-free adhesives, such as films.
- Some of the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided by using thermo-activatable nonwovens when bonding various substrates, in particular if the meltblown method (eg: REICOFIL® melt-blown method) is used to produce the nonwovens.
- the invention therefore relates to a process for the production of carrier and release agent-free, thermally activatable nonwovens based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes with viscosities from 600 to 3500 mPa.s, measured as solution viscosity in methyl ethyl ketone (15%) and with basis weights in the range from 5 to 200 g / m2, characterized in that the nonwovens are formed by means of a melt-blowing process (eg REICOFIL® melt-blown process) at melt temperatures of 230 to 260 ° C, using a storage belt, the material of which has a surface tension of 18 , 5 x 10 ⁇ 5 N / cm to 46 x 10 ⁇ 5 N / cm.
- a melt-blowing process eg REICOFIL® melt-blown process
- the invention furthermore relates to the use of the nonwovens produced in the above manner for gluing or coating different substrates.
- the carrier-free and release agent-free, thermo-activatable nonwovens produced by the process according to the invention preferably have basis weights in the range from 8 to 50, very particularly preferably 10 to 30 g / m 2.
- the basis weights of the nonwovens depend on the substrates used in the bonding and, depending on requirements, can also contain higher basis weights, especially if unevenness has to be compensated for during the bonding.
- the raw materials based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes used in the process according to the invention preferably have a viscosity of 1500 to 2100 mPa.s, measured as solution viscosity (15%) in methyl ethyl ketone (Brookfield LVT viscometer, spindle 3, 60 rpm at 23 ° C.).
- Particularly suitable hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes are those which, by reacting organic isocyanates with preferably difunctional, alcoholic hydroxyl groups containing polyester polyols and low molecular weight diols as chain extenders while maintaining an NCO / OH equivalent ratio from 0.9: 1 to 0.999: 1 are available, as described in EP 0 158 086 and DE-PS 1 256 822, DE-PS 2 161 340, DE-PS 3 502 379.
- Suitable dihydroxy polyesters are in particular those of a molecular weight above 600, preferably between 1200 and 6000, particularly preferably between 2000 and 4000 g / mol, as are known in a known manner from alkanedicarboxylic acids with preferably 6 carbon atoms and alkanediols with preferably at least 4 carbon atoms.
- Suitable dicarboxylic acids are, for example, adipic acid, sebacic acid, pimilic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid.
- Suitable alkanediols are, for example, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, or 1,6-hexanediol.
- the chain extenders are in particular diols or diol mixtures in the molecular weight range 62 to 300, preferably 62 to 150 g / mol.
- Suitable such diols are e.g. Alkanediols preferably having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, such as 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol.
- diisocyanates examples include 1,6-diisocyanatohexane, 1,4-diisocyanatocyclohexane, 1-isocyanato-3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane, methylenebis (4-isocyanatocyclohexane), 2,4- and optionally 2, 6-diisoocyanatotoluene, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylpropane-2,2 or any mixture of such isocyanates.
- 4,4'-Diisocyanatodiphenylmethane is particularly preferred as the reaction component.
- the nonwovens according to the invention are produced by the melt-blow method, in particular melt temperatures (measured in front of the spinning nozzles) of 230 to 260 ° C. being used.
- the melt-blowing process is described in more detail in DE-OS 19 64 060 and in DE-OS 23 08 242 and essentially consists of a specially designed shaping tool for polymer threads connected downstream of an extruder, the main feature of which is therein there is that a directed, heated air flow can be assigned to each individual nozzle, which ensures that the emerging polymer threads are stretched up and torn off in a controlled manner.
- the hot air can be brought to the polymer melt from slits that are tight on two sides or flow around the polymer melt from an annular hole around the inner melt hole.
- the spun threads are deposited on a moving pick-up device, e.g. a rotating conveyor belt.
- a storage belt is used, the material of which has a surface tension of preferably 18.5 x 10 ⁇ 5 to 33 x 10 ⁇ 5 N / cm. Teflon-coated textile fabrics, for example, are suitable as materials for the storage belt.
- a wide variety of methods can be used to bond the substrates to the nonwoven produced by the method according to the invention.
- the vacuum deep-drawing process, deep-drawing presses, vacuum deep-drawing presses are used to produce molded parts for headliners, side cladding elements or foam-backable composites for seat manufacture etc.
- a large number of substrates can be bonded to themselves or to one another with the nonwoven fabric produced by the method according to the invention.
- a wide variety of textile fabrics based on cotton, cotton blended fabrics, wool, wool blended fabrics, polyester and polyamide fabrics and polyolefins are particularly worth mentioning.
- hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes can be processed to nonwovens by a melt-blow process, since it had to be expected that at the high melt temperatures required for the melt-blow process and which would be about 50 ° C. above the temperatures of the usual film production processes, there is such a large shift in equilibrium in favor of the starting components in hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes that at most oligomeric products are obtained which can no longer be consolidated into a nonwoven.
- a limited number of raw materials are known in the prior art, which can be formed into nonwovens by means of the melt-blowing technique.
- these are polymers that solidify completely amorphously or partially crystalline, such as polypropylene and polystyrene.
- These polymers generally have the property of having a completely tack-free surface immediately after the temperature drops below about 70 ° C.
- Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane with segmented structure of soft and Hard segments are more critical in this regard. In order to recrystallize the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane processed in the extrusion process, a much longer time is required in comparison to the abovementioned polymers, and in any case the temperature in the molded extrudate is below 50 ° C. This behavior of segmented polyester urethanes generally leads to the disadvantages mentioned of the non-release or spacer-free production and the blocking of these extrudates on the roll.
- the hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes deposited as tangled fibers have a tack-free surface shortly after being deposited on the conveyor belt of the melt-blown system, so that the melt-blown spunbonded fabric obtained can subsequently be fed directly to a winder. Blocking on the winder no longer occurs subsequently.
- the fleece obtained Due to the low fiber titer (approx. 0.1 dtex), the fleece obtained is characterized by a large surface coverage (opacity) even with small application quantities. With, for textile applications, even high application quantities of 30 g / m2, a soft feel is retained. Depending on the order volume, air permeability can be set specifically.
- thermoplastic elastomeric hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes were predried in a SOMOS® air dryer over a period of 12 hours.
- the extruder and mold temperatures were set so that a melt temperature of 250 ° C was achieved in front of the unloading nozzles.
- the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane solution viscosity: 2000 mPa.s
- the spinning pump output was increased to 4 rpm. set.
- the resulting extrusion rate was 22 kg / h.
- a melt pressure of the extruder / nozzle of 40/16 bar is established.
- the polymer threads emerging from the melt nozzles were placed after stretching by the compressed air preheated to 220 ° C.
- the extruder and mold temperatures were set so that a melt temperature of 250 ° C was achieved in front of the unloading nozzles. With a screw speed of 5 rpm. the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane (solution viscosity: 1200 mPa.s) extruded. The spinning pump output was increased to 4 rpm. set. The resulting extrusion rate was 22 kg / h. A melt pressure of the extruder / nozzle of 40/30 bar is established.
- the polymer threads emerging from the melt nozzles were placed on a circulating conveyor belt with a surface tension of 30 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 5 N / cm after stretching through the compressed air preheated to 220 ° C and the controlled thread break-off and fed from there to an intermediate take-off where the edge trimming took place .
- the fleece was then wound onto 1000 mm cardboard cores. Different basis weights were set by changing the spinning belt speed and / or the throughput. 200 running meters were wound up per attempt. The processing of the cardboard core could be carried out at any time without any problems.
- the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane was applied as a fleece directly to a TPU surface film (thickness 100 ⁇ m).
- a TPU surface film thickness 100 ⁇ m.
- it was wound up on 1000 mm cardboard tubes. The process was easily carried out at all times.
- Example 3 The procedure was analogous to that in Example 3 with a soft PVC (foam) film web.
- the adhesion of the melt-blown spunbond made of the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane was sufficient to ensure that the coated web could be wound up and unwound easily.
- Example 3 Analogously to Example 3, the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane was applied directly to a cotton fabric as a fleece. The adhesion of the fleece to the textile web was excellent here too. Bonding this fabric, coated with different amounts of material, to an uncoated cotton fabric provided the peel strengths listed in Table 1 below.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von träger- und trennmittelfreien, thermoaktivierbaren Vliesen auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen sowie deren Verwendung zum Verkleben unterschiedlicher Substrate.The present invention relates to a process for the production of carrier-free and release agent-free, thermally activatable nonwovens based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes, and to the use thereof for bonding different substrates.
Es ist bekannt, die Verklebung unterschiedlicher Substrate zu bewerkstelligen durch lösungsmittelhaltige Klebesysteme oder durch lösungsmittelfreie Klebesysteme auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen, beispielsweise durch die Verwendung von Schmelzklebefolien (siehe z.B. H.J. Studt in Coating 2/93, S. 34 ff). Nachteilig bei den lösungsmittelhaltigen Klebesystemen ist zum einen die Belastung der Umwelt durch Lösungsmittel, die bei dem Klebevorgang freigesetzt werden, zum anderen deren lange Verarbeitungszyklen, was hohe Folgekosten nach sich zieht. Aus wirtschaftlichen- und Umweltschutzgründen ist man daher geneigt, lösungsmittelfreie Klebstoffsysteme für die Verklebung unterschiedlicher Substrate zu verwenden.It is known to accomplish the bonding of different substrates by means of solvent-based adhesive systems or by means of solvent-free adhesive systems based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes, for example by using hot-melt adhesive films (see, for example, H.J. Studt in Coating 2/93, pp. 34 ff). Disadvantages of the solvent-based adhesive systems are, on the one hand, the pollution of the environment by solvents which are released during the adhesive process, and, on the other hand, their long processing cycles, which entails high consequential costs. For economic and environmental reasons, one is inclined to use solvent-free adhesive systems for bonding different substrates.
Bei den lösungsmittelfreien Klebesystemen, wie z.B. bei der Verwendung von thermoaktivierbaren Folien auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen, ergeben sich als Nachteile deren geringe Gasdurchlässigkeit, sowie deren Griffverhärtung, was insbesondere bei der Verklebung von Textilien ins Gewicht fällt, darüber hinaus das relativ hohe Flächengewicht, was eine höhere Materialaufwendung bedingt.The disadvantages of solvent-free adhesive systems, such as the use of thermo-activatable films based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes, are their low gas permeability and their hardening of the handle, which is particularly important when gluing textiles, as well as the relatively high weight per unit area, which is a higher material costs.
Aus den genannten Gründen ist deshalb die Verwendung der thermoaktivierbaren Folien auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen auf technische Anwendungen, wie z.B. Kaschierteile für den Kraftfahrzeuginnenausbau, beschränkt. Wenngleich in diesem Anwendungsbereich für einige Verbundstrukturen ein größerer und geschlossenflächiger Klebstoffauftrag notwendig ist, um z.B. Rückstellkräfte von tiefgezogenen Weich-PVC-Folien aufzufangen, so gibt es hinreichende Einsatzmöglichkeiten, wo mit geringerem Klebstoffstoffauftrag gearbeitet werden kann und eine geschlossene filmartige Oberflächenstruktur des aufgebrachten Klebstoffes nur von Nachteil ist.For the reasons mentioned, the use of the thermo-activatable films based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes is therefore important for technical applications, e.g. Laminating parts for the automotive interior, limited. Although in this area of application a larger and closed-area adhesive application is necessary for some composite structures, e.g. To absorb the restoring forces of deep-drawn soft PVC films, there are sufficient fields of application where it is possible to work with less adhesive and a closed film-like surface structure of the applied adhesive is only a disadvantage.
Die thermoaktivierbaren, zur Verklebung verschiedener Substrate zu verwendenden Folien können nach den verschiedensten Verfahren hergestellt werden.The films which can be thermally activated and are used to bond various substrates can be produced by a wide variety of processes.
Allseits bekannt ist die Hertellung von elastomeren Folien aus z.B. Polyurethanen nach dem Coextrusionsverfahren (DE-A 2 114 065, US 3 880 691). Die erhaltenen Flächengebilde enthalten keine Trennmittel bzw. Abstandsmittel. Ein großer Nachteil dieses Verfahrens besteht in der benötigten, aufwendigen Verfahrenstechnik (2 Extruder und Blaskopf mit 2 konzentrischen Ringdüsen) sowie im Anfallen einer Trennfolie, welche kaum mehr einer stofflichen Verwertung zuzuführen ist.The production of elastomeric films from e.g. Polyurethanes according to the coextrusion process (DE-A 2 114 065, US 3 880 691). The fabrics obtained do not contain any release agents or spacers. A major disadvantage of this process is the required, complex process technology (2 extruders and blow head with 2 concentric ring nozzles) and the production of a separating film, which can hardly be recycled.
Weiterhin bekannt ist die Herstellung von Folien aus thermoplastischen Elastomeren, z.B. Polyurethanen, nach dem Monofolien-Blasextrusionsverfahren.The production of foils from thermoplastic elastomers, e.g. Polyurethanes, using the monofilm blown film extrusion process.
Um den Vorteil dieses Verfahrens in Bezug auf geringere Anlageninvestitionen voll ausschöpfen zu können, muß den relativ stark klebenden thermoplastischen Kunststoffen vor dem Blasen des Folienschlauchs ein internes Trenn- bzw. Abstandsmittel zugesetzt werden, da sonst die Folienbahnen nach dem Flachlegen mittels Abquetschwalze miteinander verkleben und nachfolgend auch nicht mehr getrennt werden können.In order to be able to fully exploit the advantage of this process in terms of lower system investments, an internal release agent or spacer must be added to the relatively strong adhesive thermoplastics before blowing the film tube, otherwise the film webs will stick to one another after being laid flat by means of a squeeze roller and subsequently can no longer be separated.
Weiterhin werden diese Trenn- bzw. Abstandsmittel eingesetzt, um das durch Nachkristallisation auftretende Verblocken der aufgewickelten und getrennten Folienbahnen zu vermeiden. Nach dem heutigen Stand der Technik sind Wachse und/oder organische Zusätze wie z.B. in

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es somit, die genannten Nachteile bei der Verwendung von lösungsmittelhaltigen Klebstoffen als auch bei der Verwendung von lösungsmittelfreien Klebstoffen, wie Folien, zu vermeiden. Einige der genannten Nachteile können durch die Anwendung von thermoaktivierbaren Vliesen bei der Verklebung verschiedener Substrate vermieden werden, insbesondere wenn zur Herstellung der Vliese das Schmelz-Blas-Verfahren (z.B.: REICOFIL® Melt-Blown-Verfahren) angewendet wird.The object of the present invention was therefore to avoid the disadvantages mentioned when using solvent-containing adhesives and also when using solvent-free adhesives, such as films. Some of the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided by using thermo-activatable nonwovens when bonding various substrates, in particular if the meltblown method (eg: REICOFIL® melt-blown method) is used to produce the nonwovens.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von träger- und trennmittelfreien, thermoaktivierbaren Vliesen auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen mit Viskositäten von 600 bis 3500 mPa.s, gemessen als Lösungsviskosität in Methylethylketon (15 %ig) und mit Flächengewichten im Bereich von 5 bis 200 g/m², dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Vliese mittels eines Schmelz-Blas-Verfahrens (z.B. REICOFIL® Melt-Blown-Verfahren) bei Massetemperaturen von 230 bis 260°C ausgeformt werden, wobei ein Ablageband benutzt wird, dessen Material eine Oberflächenspannung von 18,5 x 10⁻⁵ N/cm bis 46 x 10⁻⁵ N/cm aufweist.The invention therefore relates to a process for the production of carrier and release agent-free, thermally activatable nonwovens based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes with viscosities from 600 to 3500 mPa.s, measured as solution viscosity in methyl ethyl ketone (15%) and with basis weights in the range from 5 to 200 g / m², characterized in that the nonwovens are formed by means of a melt-blowing process (eg REICOFIL® melt-blown process) at melt temperatures of 230 to 260 ° C, using a storage belt, the material of which has a surface tension of 18 , 5 x 10⁻⁵ N / cm to 46 x 10⁻⁵ N / cm.
Weiterhin ist Gegenstand der Erfindung die Verwendung der in obiger Weise hergestellten Vliese zum Verkleben oder Beschichten unterschiedlicher Substrate.The invention furthermore relates to the use of the nonwovens produced in the above manner for gluing or coating different substrates.
Die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten träger- und trennmittelfreien, thermoaktivierbaren Vliese besitzen bevorzugt Flächengewichte im Bereich von 8 bis 50, ganz besonders bevorzugt 10 bis 30 g/m². Die Flächengewichte der Vliese richten sich nach den bei der Verklebung zur Anwendung kommenden Substraten und können je nach Bedarf auch höhere Flächengewichte beinhalten, insbesondere dann, wenn bei der Verklebung noch Unebenheiten auszugleichen sind.The carrier-free and release agent-free, thermo-activatable nonwovens produced by the process according to the invention preferably have basis weights in the range from 8 to 50, very particularly preferably 10 to 30 g / m 2. The basis weights of the nonwovens depend on the substrates used in the bonding and, depending on requirements, can also contain higher basis weights, especially if unevenness has to be compensated for during the bonding.
Die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eingesetzten Rohstoffe auf Basis von Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen besitzen bevorzugt eine Viskosität von 1500 bis 2100 mPa.s, gemessen als Lösungsviskosität (15 %) in Methylethylketon (Brookfield LVT-Viskosimeter, Spindel 3, 60 UPM bei 23°C).The raw materials based on hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes used in the process according to the invention preferably have a viscosity of 1500 to 2100 mPa.s, measured as solution viscosity (15%) in methyl ethyl ketone (Brookfield LVT viscometer, spindle 3, 60 rpm at 23 ° C.).

Geeigente derartige Diole sind z.B. Alkandiole mit vorzugsweise 4 bis 6 Kohlenstoffatomen wie Butandiol-1,4, Pentandiol-1,5, Hexandiol-1,6.Suitable dihydroxy polyesters are in particular those of a molecular weight above 600, preferably between 1200 and 6000, particularly preferably between 2000 and 4000 g / mol, as are known in a known manner from alkanedicarboxylic acids with preferably 6 carbon atoms and alkanediols with preferably at least 4 carbon atoms.

The chain extenders are in particular diols or diol mixtures in the molecular weight range 62 to 300, preferably 62 to 150 g / mol. Suitable such diols are e.g. Alkanediols preferably having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, such as 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol.
Beispiele geeigneter Diisocyanate sind 1,6-Diisocyanatohexan, 1,4-Diisocyanatocyclohexan, 1-Isocyanato-3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohexan, Methylenbis-(4-isocyanatocyclohexan), 2,4- und gegebenenfalls 2,6-Diisoocyanatotoluol, 4,4'-Diisocyanatodiphenylmethan, 4,4'-Diisocyanatodiphenylpropan-2,2 bzw. beliebige Gemische derartiger Isocyanate. Besonders bevorzugt wird als Reaktionskomponente 4,4'-Diisocyanatodiphenylmethan.Examples of suitable diisocyanates are 1,6-diisocyanatohexane, 1,4-diisocyanatocyclohexane, 1-isocyanato-3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane, methylenebis (4-isocyanatocyclohexane), 2,4- and optionally 2, 6-diisoocyanatotoluene, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylpropane-2,2 or any mixture of such isocyanates. 4,4'-Diisocyanatodiphenylmethane is particularly preferred as the reaction component.
Wie erwähnt, werden die erfindungsgemäßen Vliese durch das Schmelz-Blas-Verfahren hergestellt, wobei insbesondere Massetemperaturen (gemessen vor den Ausspinndüsen) von 230 bis 260°C angewendet werden. Das Schmelz-Blas-Verfahren ist naher beschrieben in der DE-OS 19 64 060 und in der DE-OS 23 08 242 und besteht im wesentlichen aus einem speziell konzipierten, einem Extruder nachgeschalteten Ausformwerkzeug für Polymerfäden, dessen Hauptmerkmal darin besteht, daß jeder einzelnen Düse ein gerichteter, beheizter Luftstrom zuordenbar ist, welcher dafür Sorge trägt, daß die austretenden Polymerfäden hochverstreckt und kontrolliert abgerissen werden. Die heiße Luft kann hierbei aus von 2 Seiten enganliegenden Schlitzen an die Polymerschmelze herangeführt werden oder die Polymerschmelze aus einer Ringbohrung um die innere Schmelzebohrung umströmen.As mentioned, the nonwovens according to the invention are produced by the melt-blow method, in particular melt temperatures (measured in front of the spinning nozzles) of 230 to 260 ° C. being used. The melt-blowing process is described in more detail in DE-OS 19 64 060 and in DE-OS 23 08 242 and essentially consists of a specially designed shaping tool for polymer threads connected downstream of an extruder, the main feature of which is therein there is that a directed, heated air flow can be assigned to each individual nozzle, which ensures that the emerging polymer threads are stretched up and torn off in a controlled manner. The hot air can be brought to the polymer melt from slits that are tight on two sides or flow around the polymer melt from an annular hole around the inner melt hole.
Die Ablage der ausgesponnenen Fäden erfolgt auf einer sich bewegenden Aufnahmevorrichtung, z.B. einem umlaufenden Transportband.The spun threads are deposited on a moving pick-up device, e.g. a rotating conveyor belt.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist es wichtig, daß ein Ablageband benutzt wird, dessen Material eine Oberflächenspannung von bevorzugt 18,5 x 10⁻⁵ bis 33 x 10⁻⁵ N/cm aufweist. Als Materialien für das Ablageband kommen beispielsweise teflonbeschichtete Textilgewebe in Frage.In the method according to the invention it is important that a storage belt is used, the material of which has a surface tension of preferably 18.5 x 10⁻⁵ to 33 x 10⁻⁵ N / cm. Teflon-coated textile fabrics, for example, are suitable as materials for the storage belt.
Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Verklebung unterschiedlicher Substrate dadurch zu bewerkstelligen, daß man das zu verklebende Substrat unmittelbar mit dem nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Vlies beschichtet und durch Thermoaktivierung des Vlieses (z.B. mittels IR-Bestrahlung oder Kontaktwärme) die Verklebung der Substrate in Gang setzt.Of course, it is also possible to glue different substrates by coating the substrate to be glued directly with the fleece produced by the process according to the invention and by thermally activating the fleece (for example by means of IR radiation or contact heat) to glue the substrates together puts.
Zur Verklebung der Substrate mit dem nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Vlies können die unterschiedlichsten Verfahren zur Anwendung kommen.A wide variety of methods can be used to bond the substrates to the nonwoven produced by the method according to the invention.
Im Fall von vorbeschichteten Substraten (z.B. Weich-PVC-Schaumfolien, TPU-Folien) wird zur Herstellung von Formteilen für Dachhimmel-, Seitenverkleidungselementen oder hinterschäumbaren Verbunden für die Sitzherstellung etc. das Vakuumtiefziehverfahren, Tiefziehpressen, Vakuumtiefziehpressen angewandt. Diese Verfahren sind bekannt und ausführlich in z.B. Saechtling "Kunststoff Taschenbuch", 21. Auflage, 1979, Seiten 140 bis 184 beschrieben.In the case of pre-coated substrates (e.g. soft PVC foam films, TPU films), the vacuum deep-drawing process, deep-drawing presses, vacuum deep-drawing presses are used to produce molded parts for headliners, side cladding elements or foam-backable composites for seat manufacture etc. These Methods are known and described in detail in, for example, Saechtling "Kunststoff Taschenbuch", 21st edition, 1979, pages 140 to 184.
Es lassen sich mit dem nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellte Vlies eine große Vielzahl von Substraten mit sich selbst oder untereinander verbinden. Neben den genannten Weich-PVC und TPU-Oberflächenfolien sind insbesondere die unterschiedlichsten textilen Flächengebilde auf Basis von Baumwolle, Baumwollmischgeweben, Wolle, Wollmischgeweben, Polyester- und Polyamidgewebe sowie Polyolefinen zu nennen.A large number of substrates can be bonded to themselves or to one another with the nonwoven fabric produced by the method according to the invention. In addition to the soft PVC and TPU surface films mentioned, a wide variety of textile fabrics based on cotton, cotton blended fabrics, wool, wool blended fabrics, polyester and polyamide fabrics and polyolefins are particularly worth mentioning.
Es ist überraschend, daß sich durch ein Schmelz-Blas-Verfahren Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane zu Vliesen verarbeiten lassen, da erwartet werden mußte, daß bei den hohen Massetemperaturen, die für das Schmelz-Blas-Verfahren erforderlich sind und die etwa 50°C über den Temperaturen der üblichen Folienherstellungsverfahren liegen, es bei Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethanen in so starkem Ausmaß zu einer Gleichgewichtsverschiebung zugunsten der Ausgangskomponenten kommt, daß allenfalls oligomere Produkte erhalten werden, die sich nicht mehr zu einem Vlies verfestigen lassen.It is surprising that hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes can be processed to nonwovens by a melt-blow process, since it had to be expected that at the high melt temperatures required for the melt-blow process and which would be about 50 ° C. above the temperatures of the usual film production processes, there is such a large shift in equilibrium in favor of the starting components in hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes that at most oligomeric products are obtained which can no longer be consolidated into a nonwoven.
Es mußte weiterhin erwartet werden, daß die Kohäsionsfestigkeit bei, mittels der ausgeformten Vliese, hergestellten Verklebungen aufgrund des Polymerabbaus nicht mehr in genügendem Umfang vorhanden ist. Dies ist nicht der Fall.Furthermore, it had to be expected that the cohesive strength in the case of bonds produced by means of the shaped nonwovens would no longer be present to a sufficient extent due to the polymer degradation. This is not the case.
Im Stand der Technik ist eine begrenzte Zahl von Rohstoffen bekannt, welche mittels der Schmelze-Blas-Technik zu Vliesen ausformbar sind. Insbesondere sind dies Polymere, welche vollständig amorph bzw. teilkristallin erstarren, wie z.B. Polypropylen und Polystyrol. Diese genannten Polymere haben im allgemeinen die Eigenschaft, direkt nach unterschreiten von ca. 70°C eine vollkommen klebfreie Oberfläche zu besitzen. Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane mit segmentiertem Aufbau von Weich- und Hartsegment verhalten sich diesbezüglich kritischer. So ist zur Rekristallisation des im Extrusionsprozeß verarbeiteten Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethans eine, im Vergleich zu den vorgenannten Polymeren, sehr viel länger Zeit notwendig, sowie in jedem Fall das unterschreiten von 50°C Massetemperatur im ausgeformten Extrudat. Dieses Verhalten von segmentiertem Polyesterurethanen führt im Allgemeinen zu den genannten Nachteilen der nicht trenn- bzw. abstandsmittelfreien Herstellung und des Verblockens dieser Extrudate auf dem Wickel.A limited number of raw materials are known in the prior art, which can be formed into nonwovens by means of the melt-blowing technique. In particular, these are polymers that solidify completely amorphously or partially crystalline, such as polypropylene and polystyrene. These polymers generally have the property of having a completely tack-free surface immediately after the temperature drops below about 70 ° C. Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane with segmented structure of soft and Hard segments are more critical in this regard. In order to recrystallize the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane processed in the extrusion process, a much longer time is required in comparison to the abovementioned polymers, and in any case the temperature in the molded extrudate is below 50 ° C. This behavior of segmented polyester urethanes generally leads to the disadvantages mentioned of the non-release or spacer-free production and the blocking of these extrudates on the roll.
Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß die genannten, als wirre Fasern abgelegten Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane kurz nach der Ablage auf dem Transportband der Melt-Blown-Anlage eine klebfreie Oberfläche besitzen, so daß nachfolgend das erhaltene Melt-Blown-Spinnvlies direkt einem Wickler zugeführt werden kann. Ein Verblocken auf dem Wickler tritt nachfolgend nicht mehr auf.Surprisingly, it was found that the hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes deposited as tangled fibers have a tack-free surface shortly after being deposited on the conveyor belt of the melt-blown system, so that the melt-blown spunbonded fabric obtained can subsequently be fed directly to a winder. Blocking on the winder no longer occurs subsequently.
Das erhaltene Vlies zeichnet sich aufgrund der geringen Fasertiter (ca. 0,1 dtex) auch bei kleinen Auftragsmengen durch eine große Oberflächenbelegung (Deckkraft) aus. Bei, für textile Anwendungen, schon hohen Auftragsmengen von 30 g/m² bleibt ein weicher Griff erhalten. Je nach Auftragsmenge können Luftdurchlässigkeiten gezielt eingestellt werden.Due to the low fiber titer (approx. 0.1 dtex), the fleece obtained is characterized by a large surface coverage (opacity) even with small application quantities. With, for textile applications, even high application quantities of 30 g / m², a soft feel is retained. Depending on the order volume, air permeability can be set specifically.
Die nachfolgend beschriebenen Versuche wurden auf einer handelsüblichen REICOFIL® Melt-Blown-Anlage von 1 Meter Produktionsbreite durchgeführt. Die thermoplastischen elastomeren Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethane wurden in einem Lufttrockner der Bauart SOMOS® über einen Zeitraum von 12 Stunden vorgetrocknet.The tests described below were carried out on a commercially available REICOFIL® melt-blown system with a production width of 1 meter. The thermoplastic elastomeric hydroxyl polyester polyurethanes were predried in a SOMOS® air dryer over a period of 12 hours.
Extruder- und Werkzeugtemperatur wurden so eingestellt, daß sich eine Massetemperatur vor den Ausspinndüsen von 250°C einstellte. Mit einer Schneckendrehzahl von 5 U/min. wurde das Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethan (Lösungsviskosität: 2000 mPa.s) extrudiert. Die Spinnpumpenleistung wurde auf 4 U/min. eingestellt. Die resultierende Extrusionsleistung betrug 22 kg/h. Es stellt sich ein Schmelzedruck Extruder/Düse von 40/16 bar ein. Die aus den Schmelzedüsen austretenden Polymerfäden wurden nach dem Verstrecken durch die auf 220°C vorgeheizte Pressluft und dem kontrollierten Fadenabriß auf ein umlaufendes Transportband mit Oberflächenspannung von 30·10⁻⁵ N/cm abgelegt und von dort einem Zwischenabzug zugeführt, wo der Randbeschnitt erfolgte. Anschließend wurde das Vlies auf 1000 mm Pappkerne aufgewickelt. Unterschiedliche Flächengewichte wurden durch Änderung der Spinnbandgeschwindigkeit und/oder der Durchsatzleistung eingestellt. Es wurden 200 Laufmeter je Versuch aufgewickelt. Die Abwicklung von dem Pappkern konnte zu jeder Zeit problemlos durchgeführt werden.The extruder and mold temperatures were set so that a melt temperature of 250 ° C was achieved in front of the unloading nozzles. With a screw speed of 5 rpm. the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane (solution viscosity: 2000 mPa.s) was extruded. The spinning pump output was increased to 4 rpm. set. The resulting extrusion rate was 22 kg / h. A melt pressure of the extruder / nozzle of 40/16 bar is established. The polymer threads emerging from the melt nozzles were placed after stretching by the compressed air preheated to 220 ° C. and the controlled thread breakdown on a circulating conveyor belt with a surface tension of 30 × 10 / N / cm and fed from there to an intermediate take-off where the edge trimming took place. The fleece was then wound onto 1000 mm cardboard cores. Different basis weights were set by changing the spinning belt speed and / or the throughput. 200 running meters were wound up per attempt. The processing of the cardboard core could be carried out at any time without any problems.

Die resultierende Extrusionsleistung betrug 22 kg/h. Es stellt sich ein Schmelzedruck Extruder/Düse von 40/30 bar ein. Die aus den Schmelzdüsen austretenden Polymerfäden wurden nach dem Verstrecken durch die auf 220°C vorgeheizte Pressluft und dem kontrollierten Fadenabriß auf ein umlaufendes Transportband mit einer Oberflächenspannung von 30·10⁻⁵ N/cm abgelegt und von dort einem Zwischenabzug zugeführt, wo der Randbeschnitt erfolgte.

The processing of the cardboard core could be carried out at any time without any problems.
In gleicher Weise wie bei Beispiel 1 beschrieben, wurde das Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethan als Vlies direkt auf eine TPU-Oberflächenfolie (Dicke 100 µm) aufgebracht. Auch hier wurde nach Zwischenabzug und Randbeschnitt auf 1000 mm Papphülsen aufgewickelt. Die Abwicklung war zu jeder Zeit problemlos durchführbar.In the same way as described in Example 1, the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane was applied as a fleece directly to a TPU surface film (thickness 100 μm). Here too, after intermediate deduction and edge trimming, it was wound up on 1000 mm cardboard tubes. The process was easily carried out at all times.
Analog wie im Beispiel 3 wurde mit einer Weich-PVC (Schaum)-Folienbahn verfahren. Die Haftung des Melt-Blown Spinnvlieses aus dem Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethan war ausreichend, um ein problemloses Auf- und Abwickeln der beschichteten Warenbahn zu gewährleisten.The procedure was analogous to that in Example 3 with a soft PVC (foam) film web. The adhesion of the melt-blown spunbond made of the hydroxyl polyester polyurethane was sufficient to ensure that the coated web could be wound up and unwound easily.
Analog wie im Beispiel 3 wurde auf ein Baumwollgewebe das Hydroxylpolyesterpolyurethan als Vlies direkt aufgebracht. Die Haftung des Vlieses zur textilen Warenbahn war auch hier ausgezeichnet. Verklebungen dieses, mit unterschiedlichen Materialmengen beschichteten Gewebes gegen ein unbeschichtetes Baumwollgewebe lieferte die nachfolgend in Tabelle 1 aufgeführten Schälfestigkeiten.
