Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of nonwovens, in particular at least partially degradable nonwovens, and a for a totally degradable non-woven fabric which can be assimilated by the environment, its manufacturing process and its different uses.
- nonwovens produced are made based on synthetic polymers, such as propylene, polyethylene, polyesters or polyamides, which are practically non-degradable, in particular non-biodegradable, this especially since they often incorporate stabilizers or other additives that extend their life.
- synthetic polymers such as propylene, polyethylene, polyesters or polyamides
- thermoplastic polymers derived from starch or else based on polycaprolactones or polyhydroxybutyrates / polyhydroxyvalerates.
- the nonwoven products obtained do not exhibit any sufficiently satisfactory properties (mechanical strength, physicochemical properties) allowing their implementation and, in in addition, their cost price is too high compared to polymers synthetic.
- the filaments obtained from these materials have always important titles, rarely less than 10 dtex, due to the nature and characteristics of the materials used.
- the problem posed with the present invention therefore consists in design a fully biodegradable, compostable and assimilable by the environment, whose filaments have a very low security and with low production costs and substantially mechanical and physicochemical properties equivalent to those of synthetic polymers.
- the present invention relates to a nonwoven made of filaments of a polymer material, characterized in that all the filaments that compose it are made entirely of a polymer or a mixture of polymers, derived from acid lactic.
- EP-A-0530 987 describes a composition based on starch and lactic acid. All the examples relate to the manufacture of films from these compositions containing lactic acid and starch. The presence of starch is necessary in this invention. There is no indication in this document that lactic acid could be used alone. Likewise, if it is mentioned that filaments can be made from these starch-containing compositions, all the examples only show films.
- EP-A-0510 999 describes an article which in the appearance of a nonwoven obtained by the formation of a film comprising bubbles based on a composition of lactic acids which when they disappear give way to a structure in network. The product described in this document looks like a nonwoven but is not a nonwoven. In addition to form the bubbles there is a need for a "foaming" product (0.2-10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the composition based on lactic acid.) Which is found in the final product.
- the invention also relates to a method for the production of a nonwoven as mentioned above, characterized in what it basically involves is introducing a solid mass of polymers or a mixture of polymers, derived from acid lactic, in a heated extruder, to heat so controlled said mass by working it, in order to obtain a mass homogeneous fondue with a specific viscosity, then transport said melt to a device for die for the formation of filaments, to cool and stretch the filaments thus obtained, to deposit said filaments, without orientation preferential, on a circulating collecting mat, so as to form a non-woven tablecloth or veil and, finally, if necessary, to be joined said filaments of said web or of said web between them at the level at least part of their mutual crossing points and / or at treating said filaments of said sheet by immersion, coating, impregnation or spraying.
- all the filaments making up the nonwoven are made entirely (100% of their composition) into a polymer or a mixture of polymers, derived from acid lactic.
- said or said polymers constituting said filaments is (are) derived (s) lactic acid L or lactic acid D or a mixture L and D lactic acids
- Said polymer or said mixture of polymers derived from lactic acid advantageously has a molecular mass between 100,000 g / mol and 200,000 g / mol and an index of polydispersity between about 1 and about 3.
- said polymer (s) derived from lactic acid has a glass transition temperature between 45 ° C and 55 ° C and a melting temperature between 165 ° C and 180 ° C.
- a polymer A which can be used for the production of a nonwoven according to the invention, can be obtained by reacting in a lactic acid reactor with a catalyst, in the form of stannous octoate mixed with said acid lactic with a rate of 0.11% by weight.
- the above polymer having at the outlet of the reactor a temperature of 209 ° C., has an average molecular mass in weight of 132,000 g / mol, a polydispersity index of 1.9, a glass transition temperature of 51.5 ° C and a temperature of 170.3 ° C melting.
- a polymer B derived from acid lactic and can be used to make a nonwoven according to the invention, said polymer B having a mass weight average molecular weight of 158,000 g / mol, an index of polydispersity of 2.1, a glass transition temperature of 49 ° C and a melting temperature of 171.6 ° C.
- the titer of the filaments constituting the nonwoven is between 0.5 and 10 dtex, advantageously between 1 and 5 dtex and preferably between 2.5 and 4.5 dtex, said nonwoven being able, moreover, to increase the mechanical strength and resistance of the veil or of the nonwoven web, have welds of different geometries between filaments on about 5% to 50% of its surface, obtained by hot calendering, preferably on 12%, 24% or 48%.
- the filaments constituting the nonwoven according to the invention can also be treated with a view to acquiring particular physico-chemical properties and, for example, present hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties, obtained by impregnation or spraying of surfactants.
- the nonwoven according to the invention may be advantageously used as a partial component or as the sole constituent of a disposable article, in particular for use unique, and more particularly, following an adapted treatment, in as a hydrophilic component, in particular surface veil, of a disposable hygiene product, for example a diaper or disposable towel or as a component hydrophobic, in particular barrier surface, of a hygiene product disposable, for example a diaper or a period towel single use, by making a nonwoven on the basis of polymer A cited above.
- the subject of the invention is also, as shown by the Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings, a method of producing a nonwoven as described above, said method consisting basically to introduce, from a tank, for example, and in granular or powdery form, a solid mass of polymers or a mixture of polymers, derived from lactic acid, in a heated extruder 2, to heat said mass in a controlled manner by working it, in order to obtain a homogeneous melt and having a determined viscosity, to then transport said melt to a 3, 3 'die device for forming of filaments, to cool and stretch the filaments thus obtained, to depositing said filaments, without preferential orientation, on a carpet collector 4 circulating, so as to form a sheet or a veil nonwoven and, finally, if necessary, to fasten said filaments of said sheet between them at at least part of their mutual crossing points and / or to treat said filaments of said sheet by immersion, coating, impregnation or spraying, if necessary via a
- the veil or the nonwoven web is finally put in width and rolled up at a suitable winding station 7.
- the extruder 2 used advantageously has a single screw 2 '(see Figures 2 and 3) and its body is surrounded by a plurality of heating collars defining, in said body, heating zones Z1 to Z5 (see Figure 1) which may have increasing temperature values between the supply input of the extruder 2, connected to the reservoir 1, and the outlet of said extruder 2.
- the method consists pushing the molten material from the extruder 2 through a sector 3 composed of several fields, advantageously seven, then to cool the filaments from each field with an air flow 8, then stretching said filaments, by Venturi effect, in nozzles 9 and, finally, to deposit the drawn filaments on a circulating collecting mat 4 without preferential orientation and homogeneously, by through separators 10.
- Such a process is more generally known by the designation LURGI in the production of standard nonwovens.
- the extruder 2 is preferably maintained at a temperature between 185 ° C and 204 ° C, giving the mass of polymer (s) derived from lactic acid a specific viscosity allowing its manipulation and its transport, without however altering the constituent (s).
- the process can also consist of pushing the molten material from the extruder 2 through a 3 ′ monobloc die, then to cool the filaments obtained by means of an air flow 8 and in stretching them in a slot 11 and, finally, depositing said stretched filaments on said collecting mat 4 or scrolling, without preferential orientation and homogeneously.
- a suction device 11 ' is located under the carpet collector 4, creating a suction effect on the latter, intended to press the filaments against it.
- Such a process is more generally known by the designation S-Tex for the realization of synthetic nonwovens.
- the temperature of the extruder 2 is advantageously understood, for this second embodiment, between 245 ° C and 295 ° C.
- the process according to the invention may also consist in pushing the molten material through a die with a multitude of holes in line, then to stretch the filaments obtained by means of hot air currents circulating around the die and towards the collecting belt, and, finally, to project said filaments, without preferential orientation and to homogeneously, on said moving collecting mat.
- the temperature of the molten material from the extruder 2 is fixed, on the one hand, by a first circuit of heating 12 comprising a first heat transfer fluid, during its transport from the extruder 2 to the die 3, 3 'and, on the other hand, by a second heating circuit 13 comprising a second fluid heat transfer fluid, distinct from said first devices and fluids, level of the die 3, 3 ′, said molten material thus being able to be brought to different temperatures depending on the operations at undergo.
- the first heat transfer fluid for example of the type known under the designation marlo, may give the melt a sufficient temperature for its transfer from the extruder 2 to the die 3, 3 ', while the second heat transfer fluid, for example type known as dyphil, will bring said melt to a higher temperature allowing its spinning.
- the rate of drawing the filaments is advantageously between 100% and 1000%, and the obtained fleece or fleece can be treated by impregnation or by spraying with surfactants.
- active type impregnation treatment m / min 3 % 12 / silvet Nature of parameters Place / object concerned Units Values speed extruder (screw) rpm 15 to 80 volumet pumps.
