Abstract
Description
De nos jours, de très nombreux produits à usage domestique, vestimentaire, hygiénique, médical, industriel... à base de matières fibreuses, sont réalisés à partir de structures textiles dites "nontissées".Nowadays, many products for domestic use, clothing, hygienic, medical, industrial ... based on materials fibers, are made from so-called "nonwoven" textile structures.
Parmi ces articles, outre des matériaux d'essuyage se présentant sous la forme de feuilles relativement fines, comparables à du papier, mais ayant de très grandes propriétés d'absorption, il a été proposé de réaliser de véritables substituts d'éponge dont les dimensions (longueur, largeur et surtout épaisseur), peuvent varier dans de grandes limites en fonction de l'usage envisagé. A titre indicatif, l'épaisseur peut être de l'ordre de quelques dixièmes de millimètres lorsque l'on réalise un "torchon" d'essuyage pour atteindre un centimètre voire même plus pour des articles du type "éponge", le grammage pouvant, quant à lui, varier de 30 g/m2 à 200 g/m2, voire même plus.Among these articles, in addition to wiping materials appearing under the shape of relatively thin sheets, comparable to paper, but having very high absorption properties, it has been proposed to produce real sponge substitutes whose dimensions (length, width and above all thickness), can vary within wide limits depending on of the intended use. As an indication, the thickness can be of the order of a few tenths of a millimeter when making a "cloth" of wiping to reach a centimeter or even more for "sponge" type items, the grammage can vary from 30 g / m2 to 200 g / m2, or even more.
Pour réaliser ces articles, on utilise l'une des trois techniques d'obtention de nontissés, à savoir soit la technique dite "par voie sèche" qui consiste à réaliser un voile de fibres par voie mécanique ou aérodynamique, en utilisant des machines textiles conventionnelles telles qu'ouvreuses, cardes... , soit la technique dite "par voie humide", technique dérivée de la fabrication conventionnelle du papier, qui consiste à réaliser une suspension de fibres que l'on réceptionne sous forme d'une feuille, soit la technique dite "par voie fondue" consistant à réaliser une nappe de filaments continus synthétiques orientés au hasard les uns par rapport aux autres, et ce directement à la sortie des filières d'extrusion desdits filaments. To make these items, we use one of three techniques for obtaining nonwovens, namely the so-called "dry process" technique which consists in making a veil of fibers mechanically or aerodynamics, using conventional textile machines such that openers, carders ..., or the technique called "wet", technique derived from conventional papermaking, which consists in making a suspension of fibers which are received under form of a sheet, or the so-called "melted" technique consisting of make a web of randomly oriented continuous synthetic filaments relative to each other, and this directly at the outlet of the channels extruding said filaments.
Il a été proposé depuis fort longtemps d'utiliser ces technologies pour réaliser des articles multicouches, de manière à avoir des propriétés différentes sur les deux côtés de la feuille formée, par exemple une face imprimable ou imperméable et l'autre face fibreuse, ou une face imperméable et une autre face ayant un grand pouvoir d'absorption.It has been proposed for a long time to use these technologies to produce multilayer articles, so as to have properties different on the two sides of the formed sheet, for example one side printable or waterproof and the other fibrous side, or one side waterproof and another side with a great absorption power.
La présente invention a trait à un nouveau type de complexe non tissé absorbant qui présente comme caractéristique essentielle d'avoir une face souple, l'autre face étant quant à elle rugueuse.The present invention relates to a new type of complex not absorbent woven fabric which has the essential characteristic of having a flexible side, the other side being rough.
D'une manière générale, ce matériau complexe est constitué d'au moins deux nappes fibreuses superposées, liées entre elles par interpénétration des fibres dans le sens de l'épaisseur et dans lequel :
- la première nappe est constituée pour tout ou partie de fibres synthétiques thermofusibles sélectionnées de préférence dans la classe des polyoléfines ; avantageusement, cette nappe est constituée d'un mélange de fibres cellulosiques ou autres et de fibres synthétiques thermofusibles, le pourcentage de ces dernières dans la nappe étant supérieur à 30 % et de préférence supérieur à 50 % ;
- la seconde nappe est, quant à elle, constituée de fibres naturelles et/ou artificielles et/ou synthétiques comparativement fines par rapport aux fibres synthétiques de la première nappe et ayant une température de fusion plus élevée que ces dernières ;
- l'association des nappes élémentaires est réalisée en les soumettant à un traitement permettant de ré-orienter les fibres synthétiques de la première nappe pour que, d'une part, elles soient intimement liées dans la structure de la seconde nappe et, d'autre part, présentent des extrémités libres ou bouclettes apparentes sur l'une des faces extérieures du complexe formé.
- the first layer consists of all or part of synthetic hot-melt fibers preferably selected from the class of polyolefins; advantageously, this sheet consists of a mixture of cellulosic or other fibers and of hot-melt synthetic fibers, the percentage of the latter in the sheet being greater than 30% and preferably greater than 50%;
- the second layer is, in turn, made of comparatively fine natural and / or artificial and / or synthetic fibers compared to the synthetic fibers of the first layer and having a higher melting temperature than the latter;
- the association of the elementary plies is carried out by subjecting them to a treatment making it possible to re-orient the synthetic fibers of the first ply so that, on the one hand, they are intimately linked in the structure of the second ply and, on the other hand, have free ends or visible loops on one of the outer faces of the complex formed.
La manière dont sont associées les nappes élémentaires sera fonction de la nature desdites nappes. The way in which the elementary layers are associated will depend of the nature of said layers.
A titre indicatif mais non limitatif, cette association pourra, par exemple, être réalisée de la manière suivante :
- par exemple dans le cas où les deux nappes élémentaires sont obtenues selon la technique dite par voie humide ou papetière, leur réalisation sera faite sur une machine permettant d'obtenir et de superposer deux jets correspondant chacun à l'une des nappes ; dans ce cas, la superposition se fera en ligne, avant même séchage, et on procèdera au complexage par l'action de jets d'eau sous pression ;
- dans le cas où les deux nappes élémentaires sont obtenues selon la technique dite par sèche, dite aussi textile, elles seront également superposées et leur liaison sera obtenue par un traitement d'enchevêtrement par jets d'eau ;
- enfin, dans le cas où l'on réalise un complexe à partir de deux nappes obtenues par des techniques différentes, il sera possible de prélier légèrement l'une ou l'autre des nappes par un enchevêtrement obtenu au moyen de jets d'eau en évitant des liaisons bloquantes de type chimique ou thermique ; les deux nappes sont ensuite superposées et liées par enchevêtrement par jets d'eau.
- for example in the case where the two elementary layers are obtained according to the so-called wet or paper technique, their production will be done on a machine making it possible to obtain and superimpose two jets each corresponding to one of the layers; in this case, the superposition will be done in line, before even drying, and we will proceed to complexing by the action of jets of water under pressure;
- in the case where the two elementary layers are obtained according to the so-called dry technique, also called textile, they will also be superimposed and their connection will be obtained by a tangle treatment by water jets;
- finally, in the case where a complex is produced from two layers obtained by different techniques, it will be possible to slightly prelude one or the other of the layers by a tangle obtained by means of water jets in avoiding blocking bonds of chemical or thermal type; the two layers are then superimposed and linked by entanglement by water jets.
Avantageusement et en pratique, conformément à l'invention :
- les fibres synthétiques entrant dans la composition de la première
nappe et qui permettent de réaliser la surface grattante de l'article, sont de
préférence des fibres de polypropylène ou de polyéthylène :
- dont le titre est supérieur 5 dtex, la limite haute étant directement en relation avec la pression du fluide d'enchevêtrement de manière à assurer la solidarité des fibres avec le reste de la nappe ; la limite supérieure des fibres sera fonction des disponibilités commerciales qui, à ce jour, proposent des fibres ayant un titre de 17 dtex ;
- dont la longueur est supérieure à 5 mm , la limite supérieure dépendant essentiellement de la technique de fabrication ; ainsi, un titre plus fin entraíne l'utilisation de fibres plus courtes et, la technique par voie humide nécessite une coupe plus courte que la technique par voie sèche ;
- dont la surface est la moins ronde possible ; ainsi, on utilisera de préférence des fibres multilobées, fibrillables ou à section aplatie, qui sont beaucoup plus réceptives à l'action des jets du fluide d'enchevêtrement ;
- s'il est préférable d'utiliser des fibres de polyoléfines ayant comme caractéristique d'avoir une densité inférieure à 1, il peut cependant être envisagé d'utiliser d'autres types de fibres, par exemple des fibres constituées d'un copolymère de chlorure de vinyle (85 %) et d'acétate de vinyle (15 %) dont la température de fusion est de l'ordre de 160 °C avec une densité de 1,37 g/cm3 ;
- comme fibres cellulosiques, on peut utiliser tout type de fibres permettant d'obtenir un caractère absorbant, tel que pâte de bois, coton, linters, viscose ; dans le cas d'une fibre chimique telle que la viscose, elle sera éventuellement de section multilobée ou fibrillable de manière à optimiser l'action des jets de fluide ;
- si l'on introduit des fibres synthétiques de structure dans la seconde nappe, celles-ci auront un point de fusion supérieur à celles entrant dans la composition de la première nappe ; on utilisera par exemple des fibres de polyester ou de polyamide 6.6 (de préférence à des polyamides 6), éventuellement frisées ;
- il est possible d'ajouter éventuellement dans l'une ou l'autre des nappes un certain pourcentage de fibres dites liantes, par exemple fibres bi-componantes, dont tout ou partie de la fibre flue sur les fibres voisines lors d'un traitement thermique permettant de réaliser un "collage" rendant les fibres solidaires ; dans un tel cas, le point de fusion de la partie liante de ces fibres liantes sera inférieur au point de fusion des fibres de structure précédemment citée, mais il peut cependant être inférieur ou supérieur à celui des fibres de la première nappe destinées à apporter l'effet "grattant" ;
- après superposition des deux nappes, le complexe résultant reçoit un traitement thermique destiné, d'une part, à révéler le pouvoir liant des fibres liantes qui ont été éventuellement introduites, et d'autre part et surtout, à fusionner les extrémités libres des fibres synthétiques de la première nappe de manière à amplifier l'effet "grattant" ;
- avant ou après traitement thermique, il est éventuellement
possible de réaliser des traitements additionnels mécaniques, tels que par
exemple crêpage ou utilisation d'un appareil de type Micrex destiné à
assouplir le produit ou chimiques, tels que :
- additions d'émulsions polymères de type latex destinées à renforcer mécaniquement le produit,
- addition d'assouplissants chimiques,
- additions d'agents hydrophiles,
- imprégnation de liquides dégraissants (type liquide vaisselle), protecteurs pour la peau, détachants.. .
- the synthetic fibers used in the composition of the first layer and which make it possible to produce the scraping surface of the article, are preferably fibers of polypropylene or polyethylene:
- whose titer is greater than 5 dtex, the upper limit being directly related to the pressure of the entangling fluid so as to ensure the solidarity of the fibers with the rest of the sheet; the upper limit of the fibers will depend on the commercial availabilities which, to date, offer fibers having a titer of 17 dtex;
- the length of which is greater than 5 mm, the upper limit essentially depending on the manufacturing technique; thus, a finer title leads to the use of shorter fibers and, the wet technique requires a shorter cut than the dry technique;
- whose surface is as round as possible; thus, use will preferably be made of multilobed, fibrillable or flattened section fibers, which are much more receptive to the action of the jets of the entangling fluid;
- if it is preferable to use polyolefin fibers having the characteristic of having a density of less than 1, it may however be envisaged to use other types of fibers, for example fibers made of a chloride copolymer vinyl (85%) and vinyl acetate (15%) whose melting temperature is around 160 ° C with a density of 1.37 g / cm3;
- as cellulosic fibers, any type of fiber can be used to obtain an absorbent character, such as wood pulp, cotton, linters, viscose; in the case of a chemical fiber such as viscose, it will possibly be of multi-lobed or fibrillable section so as to optimize the action of the fluid jets;
- if synthetic fibers of structure are introduced into the second layer, these will have a higher melting point than those used in the composition of the first layer; polyester or polyamide 6.6 fibers (preferably polyamides 6) will be used, for example, crimped;
- it is possible to optionally add to one or the other of the sheets a certain percentage of so-called binder fibers, for example two-component fibers, all or part of the fiber flowing over the neighboring fibers during a heat treatment making it possible to "bond" the fibers together; in such a case, the melting point of the binder part of these binder fibers will be lower than the melting point of the fibers of the above-mentioned structure, but it may however be lower or higher than that of the fibers of the first ply intended to provide the 'scratching effect;
- after superposition of the two layers, the resulting complex receives a heat treatment intended, on the one hand, to reveal the binding power of the binding fibers which have been optionally introduced, and on the other hand and above all, to merge the free ends of the synthetic fibers of the first layer so as to amplify the "scratching"effect;
- before or after heat treatment, it is possibly possible to carry out additional mechanical treatments, such as, for example, creping or use of a device of the Micrex type intended to soften the product or chemicals, such as:
- additions of latex-type polymer emulsions intended to mechanically reinforce the product,
- addition of chemical softeners,
- additions of hydrophilic agents,
- impregnation of degreasing liquids (type dishwashing liquid), skin protectants, stain removers ...
Les grammages respectifs des deux couches sont adaptés en fonction des applications, ces grammages pouvant aller de 15 à 200 g/m2 pour la couche destinée à former la face souple et de 10 à 70 g/m2 pour la couche destinée à former la surface rugueuse.The respective grammages of the two layers are adapted according to applications, these grammages can range from 15 to 200 g / m2 for the layer intended to form the flexible face and from 10 to 70 g / m2 for the layer intended to form the rough surface.
L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant la réalisation d'un tel produit, ledit procédé consistant à réaliser deux couches de fibres élémentaires , les deux couches étant liées entre elles en aval de la zone de formation par un traitement d'aiguilletage par jet de fluide agissant au moins contre la surface de la nappe comportant les fibres thermofusibles destinées à constituer la face "grattante" de l'article complexe formé.The invention also relates to a method for production of such a product, said process consisting in producing two layers of elementary fibers, the two layers being linked together in downstream of the training area by a jet needling treatment fluid acting at least against the surface of the sheet comprising the hot-melt fibers intended to constitute the "scraping" side of the article complex formed.
Pour la mise en oeuvre d'un tel procédé, on peut utiliser par exemple une machine conventionnelle pour l'obtention d'un non tissé par voie humide, par exemple une machine du type Hydroformer de la Société VOITH, à la sortie de laquelle est disposé un ensemble de liage hydraulique, également de type connu, par exemple une machine de traitement par jets-aiguilles d'eau sous pression du type "Jet Lace" de la Société ICBT-PERFOJET, cette machine étant réglée pour que les jets agissent préférentiellement sur la face du matériau multicouches constituée par la nappe qui comporte les fibres synthétiques thermofusibles, ce qui permet de réorienter lesdites fibres dans le sens Z de la feuille et en quelque sorte de les "ficher" à l'intérieur de cette dernière.For the implementation of such a process, one can use by example a conventional machine for obtaining a nonwoven wet, for example a machine of the Hydroformer type VOITH company, at the exit of which is arranged a set of tying hydraulic, also of known type, for example a Jet-jet water pressure treatment of the "Jet Lace" type ICBT-PERFOJET company, this machine being adjusted so that the jets preferentially act on the face of the multilayer material constituted by the tablecloth which contains the synthetic fibers hot-melt, which allows the fibers to be redirected in the Z direction of the sheet and somehow "file" them inside this last.
Lorsque les deux couches élémentaires sont réalisées par voie humide, leur association est obtenue sur la toile d'égouttage avant traitement par jets de fluide.When the two elementary layers are produced by way wet, their association is obtained on the front drip cloth fluid jet treatment.
Il peut également être envisagé de réaliser la seconde couche par voie sèche, l'association étant réalisée à la sortie de la formation de cette couche en rapportant à sa surface, du côté où va s'exercer l'action des jets de fluide d'entrelaçage, le premier voile réalisé par voie humide ou par voie sèche. Dans un tel cas, les deux couches superposées sont de préférence réhumidifiées avant de les soumettre à l'action des jets d'enchevêtrement.It is also possible to envisage making the second layer by dry route, the association being made at the end of the formation of this layer relating to its surface, on the side where the action of the jets will be exerted interlacing fluid, the first veil made by wet or by dry process. In such a case, the two superimposed layers are preferably rewet before submitting them to the action of the jets of entanglement.
Après réalisation, le complexe non tissé formé est séché puis éventuellement imprégné de liants chimiques de base acrylique (éventuellement copolymérisé), éthylène-vinyle-acétate, polyuréthane..., ainsi que divers adjuvants permettant de renforcer des propriétés spécifiques telles que l'hydrophilie, la souplesse.After production, the nonwoven complex formed is dried and then possibly impregnated with acrylic-based chemical binders (optionally copolymerized), ethylene-vinyl-acetate, polyurethane ..., as well as various adjuvants allowing to reinforce properties specific such as hydrophilicity, flexibility.
Après séchage, on réalise, de préférence sur la même machine, un traitement thermique permettant de provoquer la fusion partielle des extrémités des fibres chimiques de la couche supérieure qui restent liées au complexe nontissé de base, les extrémités fondues augmentant et magnifiant l'effet de rugosité. After drying, preferably, on the same machine, a heat treatment to cause partial melting of ends of chemical fibers in the upper layer which remain bonded to the basic nonwoven complex, the molten ends increasing and magnifying the effect of roughness.
L'invention et les avantages qu'elle apporte seront cependant mieux compris grâce aux exemples de réalisation donnés ci-après à titre indicatif mais non limitatif.The invention and the advantages which it brings will however be better understood thanks to the example embodiments given below for information but not limiting.
Ces exemples sont réalisés sur une machine papetière conventionnelle du type Hydroformer VOITH, adaptée pour comporter deux arrivées de suspension distinctes et permettant donc de produire une feuille multicouches.These examples are made on a paper machine conventional VOITH Hydroformer type, adapted to include two separate suspension arrivals and therefore allowing production a multi-layer sheet.
A la sortie de cette machine, est disposée une installation d'entrelaçage par jets de fluide commercialisée par la Société ICBT-PERFOJET sous la dénomination JET-LACE, cette machine comportant quatre rangées d'injecteurs permettant de soumettre le complexe à l'action de jets/aiguilles obtenus à partir d'eau sous pression comprise entre 10 bars et 125 bars. Le nombre de jets/aiguilles par mètre de largeur de chaque rangée peut varier de 800 à 1700 et est avantageusement de l'ordre de 1000, le diamètre de chaque orifice d'injecteur étant en général compris entre 100 et 140 microns, mais pouvant éventuellement atteindre une valeur de 300 microns.At the outlet of this machine, there is an installation interlacing by fluid jets sold by the company ICBT-PERFOJET under the name JET-LACE, this machine comprising four rows of injectors allowing the complex to be subjected to the action of jets / needles obtained from water under pressure included between 10 bars and 125 bars. The number of jets / needles per meter of width of each row can vary from 800 to 1700 and is advantageously around 1000, the diameter of each injector orifice being generally between 100 and 140 microns, but possibly reaching a value of 300 microns.
Sur une machine papetière du type précité, on réalise un complexe non tissé conforme à l'invention à partir de deux suspensions fibreuses ayant les compositions suivantes :
- pour la couche supérieure qui sera ultérieurement soumise à
l'action préférentielle des jets d'aiguilletage, et qui constitue globalement
23 % de la masse fibreuse totale du complexe après formation, une
suspension d'un mélange comportant :
- 50 % de fibres de polypropylène (titre 6,7 dtex, coupe 6 mm, section ronde) ; ces fibres sont teintées dans la masse, ce qui permet, dans le produit final, de pouvoir identifier visuellement les différentes couches du produit fini.
- 50 % de fibres cellulosiques constituées de fibres papetières longues obtenues à partir de pin sylvestre.
- pour la couche inférieure formant la seconde nappe souple et
avantageusement absorbante, et qui constitue globalement 77 % de
la masse totale fibreuse dans le complexe final, une suspension
comprenant :
- 67 % de fibres cellulosiques longues obtenues à partir de pin sylvestre,
- 33 % de fibres de polyester titre 1,7 dtex - coupe 18 mm - section ronde.
- for the upper layer which will subsequently be subjected to the preferential action of the needling jets, and which overall constitutes 23% of the total fibrous mass of the complex after formation, a suspension of a mixture comprising:
- 50% polypropylene fibers (6.7 dtex, 6 mm cut, round section); these fibers are dyed in the mass, which allows, in the final product, to be able to visually identify the different layers of the finished product.
- 50% of cellulose fibers made up of long paper fibers obtained from Scots pine.
- for the lower layer forming the second flexible and advantageously absorbent sheet, and which globally constitutes 77% of the total fibrous mass in the final complex, a suspension comprising:
- 67% of long cellulosic fibers obtained from Scots pine,
- 33% polyester fibers, title 1.7 dtex - cut 18 mm - round section.
Les deux nappes sont superposées de telle sorte que la nappe comportant les fibres de polypropylène se trouvent à la partie supérieure et, avant séchage, le complexe est soumis à une action d'enchevêtrement par jets d'eau, les quatre séries successives de jets étant obtenues à partir d'eau sous pression croissante allant de 23 bars pour la première, 27 bars pour la seconde, 55 bars pour la troisième et également 55 bars pour la quatrième.The two tablecloths are superimposed so that the tablecloth with polypropylene fibers are at the top and, before drying, the complex is subjected to an entangling action by water jets, the four successive series of jets being obtained from of water under increasing pressure ranging from 23 bars for the first, 27 bars for the second, 55 bars for the third and also 55 bars for the fourth.
L'action des jets d'eau modifie la position initiale des fibres fusibles et raides qui, à l'origine, sont situées parfaitement dans le plan de la feuille, lesdites fibres étant ré-orientées selon l'axe Z de ladite feuille et leur extrémité se relevant sous l'effet des noeuds d'enchevêtrement, voire même pour les fibres les plus longues formant des bouclettes entre les noeuds d'enchevêtrement.The action of the water jets changes the initial position of the fibers fuses and stiff which, originally, are located perfectly in the plane of the sheet, said fibers being re-oriented along the Z axis of said sheet and their extremity rising under the effect of the knots of entanglement, or even for the longest fibers forming loops between the tangles.
Le complexe est ensuite séché et est soumis à un traitement thermique à l'intérieur d'un tunnel porté à 400°C (la température de brûleur dans le cas où les fibres fusionnées sont de type polypropylène). Ce traitement thermique entraíne une fusion partielle des fibres de polypropylène apparentes sur la surface de la nappe rendant cette dernière abrasive par formation de gouttelettes à l'endroit de la fusion. Bien que la température efficace à l'intérieur du four soit de 190°C, c'est-à-dire supérieure au point de fusion du polypropylène, la vitesse de passage de la nappe à l'intérieur du four est telle que les fibres ne fondent que partiellement, les autres fibres synthétiques (hors les éventuelles fibres liantes) entrant dans la composition du complexe n'étant quant à elles pas affectées par ce traitement thermique, permettant donc de conserver la souplesse de l'article. A titre indicatif, la vitesse de passage de la nappe à l'intérieur du four est de l'ordre de 90 m/min, le dit four ayant une longueur "efficace" de six mètres, le nontissé étant préalablement préchauffé à une température de 140°C.The complex is then dried and subjected to treatment inside a tunnel brought to 400 ° C (the temperature of burner in the case where the fused fibers are of the polypropylene type). This heat treatment causes a partial melting of the fibers of polypropylene visible on the surface of the tablecloth making it abrasive by the formation of droplets at the point of fusion. Although the effective temperature inside the oven is 190 ° C, i.e. higher than the melting point of polypropylene, the passage speed of the sheet inside the oven is such that the fibers only melt partially, other synthetic fibers (excluding any fibers binders) entering the composition of the complex being not affected by this heat treatment, thus making it possible to preserve the flexibility of the article. As an indication, the speed of passage of the sheet at the interior of the furnace is of the order of 90 m / min, the said furnace having a "effective" length of six meters, the nonwoven being previously preheated to a temperature of 140 ° C.
Bien entendu, ces valeurs concernant la température et la vitesse ne sont pas limitatives étant donné qu'une vitesse supérieure peut être compensée par une longueur utile du four plus longue, ou une température plus élevée et qu'un autre type de fibres nécessitera une adaptation des températures sélectionnées.Of course, these values for temperature and speed are not limiting since higher speed may be compensated by a longer useful oven length, or a higher temperature and that another type of fiber will require a adaptation of the selected temperatures.
En sortie de machine, on obtient une feuille pesant 40 g/m2 comportant une face souple et absorbante et dont l'autre face présente des propriétés abrasives constituées par les extrémités apparentes des fibres de polypropylène.Leaving the machine, a sheet weighing 40 g / m2 is obtained having a flexible and absorbent face and the other side of which has abrasive properties formed by the visible ends of the fibers polypropylene.
Il convient de noter que le choix des fibres de polyoléfines pour constituer la face apparente grattante de l'article, facilite l'obtention de cette dernière car lors de la mise en suspension pour former la nappe, les dites fibres ayant une densité inférieure à 1 restent en surface lors de la conformation par voie humide.It should be noted that the choice of polyolefin fibers for constitute the scratching visible face of the article, facilitates obtaining the latter because during the suspension to form the sheet, the said fibers having a density less than 1 remain on the surface during the wet conformation.
En fonction des applications souhaitées, cette feuille peut être utilisée soit telle que soit recevoir un traitement complémentaire en ligne avec un liant, dans le cas présent une émulsion de polymère acrylique/acétate de vinyle déposée à raison de 10 g/m2. Depending on the desired applications, this sheet can be used either as is to receive additional treatment online with a binder, in this case a polymer emulsion acrylic / vinyl acetate deposited at a rate of 10 g / m2.
Les caractéristiques et propriétés des nappes obtenues sont
regroupées dans le tableau ci-dessous.
Les mesures des caractéristiques des produits sont effectuées dans
les conditions suivantes.
Il ressort des exemples qui précèdent que le produit non imprégné présente une plus grande capacité d'absorption, est beaucoup plus souple, et a en revanche des caractéristiques mécaniques relativement basses qui, le cas échéant, pourraient être compensées par l'introduction d'un certain pourcentage de fibres thermoliantes, comme indiqué précédemment.It appears from the above examples that the non-impregnated product has a greater absorption capacity, is much more flexible, and on the other hand has relatively low mechanical characteristics which, where appropriate, could be offset by the introduction of a certain percentage of thermobonding fibers, as indicated above.
De tels produits sont particulièrement adaptés pour réaliser des produits d'essuyage semi-décapants ou très absorbants, mais pourraient également être utilisés dans d'autres domaines, par exemple dans le domaine agro-alimentaire, pour les milieux solvants, les paillasses de laboratoires.. .Such products are particularly suitable for carrying out semi-scouring or very absorbent wiping products, but could also be used in other areas, for example in the food industry, for solvent media, bench tops laboratories ...
Le même produit imprégné au moyen d'un liant polymère est, quant à lui, particulièrement adapté pour réaliser :
- des essuyages imprégnés de liquide vaisselle pour vaisselle à usage unique (camping..),
- des essuie-mains imprégnés d'agents dégraissants et adoucissants pour travailleurs manuels (garages..),
- des essuie-vitres imprégnés d'un liquide adequat pour les véhicules (insectes écrasés, déjections d'oiseaux), le domestique ..,
- des essuyages pour bricoleurs (nettoyage de balustrades, dépoussiérage en extérieur..).
- wipes impregnated with dishwashing liquid for disposable dishes (camping, etc.),
- hand towels impregnated with degreasing and softening agents for manual workers (garages, etc.),
- windshield wipers impregnated with a liquid suitable for vehicles (crushed insects, bird droppings), domestic ...
- wiping for DIY enthusiasts (cleaning of railings, dusting outdoors ...).
On réalise un matériau complexe conforme à l'invention en combinant d'une part un nontissé obtenu par voie humide, et d'autre part, un nontissé obtenu par voie sèche.A complex material according to the invention is produced by combining on the one hand a nonwoven obtained by the wet method, and on the other hand, a nonwoven obtained by dry process.
Le nontissé obtenu par voie humide, réalisé sur la même machine que l'exemple précédent, ne comporte qu'un seul jet, formant dans le produit final environ 50 % de la masse totale des fibres.The nonwoven obtained by wet process, made on the same machine than the previous example, has only one jet, forming in the final product about 50% of the total mass of the fibers.
Cette nappe est obtenue à partir d'une suspension fibreuse comportant :
- 33 % de fibres polypropylène, de titre 6,7 dtex, coupe 6 mm, section ronde ;
- 67 % de cellulose (pâte de bois) en fibres longues (résineux).
- 33% polypropylene fiber, 6.7 dtex, 6 mm cut, round section;
- 67% cellulose (wood pulp) in long fibers (resinous).
Cette première nappe est rapportée, avant traitement par l'ensemble de jets de fluide sur un voile de carde, constituant 50 % du poids total de fibres, voile de carde constitué de fibres polyester ayant un titre de 1,7 dtex, frisées, et une coupe 38 mm. Ce voile de carde est de préférence préalablement légèrement enchevêtré par jets d'eau pour assurer sa cohésion et faciliter sa manipulation.This first layer is added, before treatment by the set of fluid jets on a card web, constituting 50% of the total weight of fibers, card web made of polyester fibers having a title of 1.7 dtex, curly, and a 38 mm cut. This card veil is preferably slightly tangled with water jets beforehand ensure its cohesion and facilitate its handling.
Le voile de carde est situé en dessous du voile réalisé par voie humide, l'ensemble étant réhumidifié avant d'être soumis à l'action des jets d'enchevêtrement réalisés de la même manière que dans l'exemple 1.The card web is located below the web produced humid, the whole being rewetted before being subjected to the action of entanglement jets made in the same manner as in Example 1.
Après réalisation du complexe, le produit est, comme dans l'exemple précédent, soumis à un traitement thermique entraínant une fusion partielle des fibres de polypropylène, rendant la surface où elles sont présentes abrasive. After completion of the complex, the product is, as in the previous example, subjected to a heat treatment resulting in a partial melting of polypropylene fibers, making the surface where they are present abrasive.
On obtient un produit complexe dont les caractéristiques sont
regroupées dans le tableau ci-dessous.
Un tel produit qui comporte une face souple constituée par les fibres de polyester et une face rugueuse, est particulièrement adapté pour être utilisé comme matériaux d'essuyages divers d'une manière similaire à ceux cités dans l'exemple 1, et qui présentent une souplesse fortement amélioriée.Such a product which has a flexible face formed by the fibers polyester and a rough side, is particularly suitable to be used as a variety of wiping materials in a manner similar to those cited in Example 1, and which have a high flexibility improved.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits précédemment, mais elle en couvre toutes les variantes réalisées dans le même esprit. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples of realization described above, but it covers all variants carried out in the same spirit.
Ainsi, il est possible de traiter le produit pour y incorporer des additifs divers, par exemple des produits tensio-actifs, tels que les alkyl -sulfonates couramment utilisés dans les liquides de vaisselle, ces produits étant soit additionnés seuls, soit en mélange avec un liant. Il pourrait être également envisagé d'ajouter des produits assouplissants, dégraissants, insecticides, bactéricides, ignifugeants, solvants.Thus, it is possible to process the product to incorporate various additives, for example surfactants, such as alkyl -sulfonates commonly used in dishwashing liquids, these products being either added alone, or mixed with a binder. It could also be considered to add softeners, degreasers, insecticides, bactericides, flame retardants, solvents.
Si le polypropylène est particulièrement adapté pour réaliser la face grattante de l'article, on peut également utiliser des fibres de polyéthylène, voire éventuellement d'autres fibres telles que les fibres dérivées de chlorure de polyvinyle dont le point de fusion permet de réaliser un traitement thermique sans détériorer les caractéristiques des fibres entrant dans la constitution du complexe. Le choix du polypropylène comme matériau particulièrement adapté pour la mise en oeuvre de l'invention, s'explique par le fait, qu'à la date de la présente demande, il s'agit du produit qui présente le meilleur rapport prix/propriétés (résistance aux solvants, rigidité, abrasivité, contact cutané et alimentaire).If polypropylene is particularly suitable for making the face scratching the article, one can also use fibers of polyethylene, or possibly other fibers such as fibers polyvinyl chloride derivatives whose melting point allows perform heat treatment without deteriorating the characteristics of fibers used in the constitution of the complex. The choice of polypropylene as a material particularly suitable for placing work of the invention, is explained by the fact, that at the date of this demand, this is the product with the best ratio price / properties (solvent resistance, stiffness, abrasiveness, skin contact and food).
Par ailleurs, il pourrait éventuellement envisagé de réaliser des produits de grammage beaucoup plus élevés que ceux indiqués dans la description qui précède.Furthermore, it could possibly consider carrying out grammage products much higher than those indicated in the description above.
Enfin, la nappe constituant la couche souple de préférence absorbante, sera constituée de fibres sélectionnées en fonction des caractéristiques prioritairement recherchées. A titre indicatif, lorsque l'on souhaite avoir une face souple et fortement absorbante, on utilisera de préférence de la viscose ou du coton, si on envisage un article présentant une bonne résistance à la déchirure, on utilisera de préférence la fibre polyamide et, si l'on souhaite améliorer le toucher, on utilisera de préférence des fibres d'acétate ou de cellulose (soie artificielle).Finally, the ply preferably constituting the flexible layer absorbent, will consist of fibers selected according to characteristics primarily sought. As an indication, when we wish to have a flexible and highly absorbent face, we will use preferably viscose or cotton, if you are considering an item with good tear resistance, preferably use fiber polyamide and, if you want to improve the touch, you will use preferably acetate or cellulose fibers (artificial silk).
