Definitions

  • non-woven fabrics known as “wet” produced using a technology close to the manufacture of paper
  • dry made of staple fibers, natural or chemical, obtained by carding, coating or any other material for textile preparation
  • _ nonwovens known as “melted” made up of continuous chemical filaments and commonly designated under the generic name of “spunbond”.
  • the present invention relates to an improvement made to the technology allowing such spunbond type nonwoven plies to be produced and more specifically relates to a process, an installation and a new type of product obtained by the use of these means, product having the appearance and the properties such as touch, mechanical characteristics, flexibility, close to a conventional textile, fabric in particular.
  • the sheet After production, and in general continuously, the sheet is consolidated, for example by performing a calibration or calendering, preferably hot, so that the elementary filaments are linked to each other.
  • the process according to the invention making it possible to obtain a nonwoven of the “spunbond” type having the appearance and the properties of a conventional textile, consists, continuously:
  • _ producing a “spunbond” type sheet, the bundle of extruded and drawn continuous filaments being received on a movable conveyor belt in the form of an unbound sheet; _ to deliver, against at least one face of the “spunbond” sheet thus formed, a veil of staple fibers - natural and / or artificial and / or synthetic - obtained by carding or other conventional technique; _ compacting the complex thus formed by pressing; _ to transfer, always continuously, said complex onto a binding treatment line by means of water jets, acting against the surface or surfaces of the complex consisting of staple fibers, entraining said fibers in the thickness direction, fibers which bind like a splice between and around the continuous filaments while remaining visible on the surface; _ to carry out a drying treatment;
  • compaction is carried out by pressing of the assembly constituted by the supe ⁇ osition of the layer or layers of staple fibers which cover or trap between them the "spunbond" tablecloth produced.
  • Such compaction which can be carried out by any suitable means, such as in particular by means of a pressing roller, can in no case be assimilated to a calendering operation since it is carried out cold.
  • a single veil of staple fibers can be associated with the veil with the “spunbond” type web, said veil of staple fibers being able to be delivered either upstream of the zone of formation of the “spunbond” veil and being brought on the conveyor belt on which are deposited the filaments coming from the “spunbond” installation, filaments which are therefore distributed on the surface of this veil, that is to say, delivered downstream of the zone of formation of the veil of continuous filaments.
  • the “spunbond” type sheet is covered on its two faces by a veil of discontinuous fibers, produced one upstream of the zone of formation of the “spunbond” veil, the other downstream , the web of continuous filaments thus being trapped sandwiched between the two layers of staple fibers.
  • the complex thus made up of three layers is, after compacting by pressing, transferred, always continuously, onto a binding treatment line by means of water jets, jets which act successively against the surfaces of said complexes entraining the staple fibers in the thickness direction, fibers which bond in the manner of a splice between and around the continuous filaments while remaining visible on the two outer faces.
  • an additional “texturing” treatment (carried out for example in accordance with the teachings of patent EP-059 608), consisting in transferring the complex linked on a conveyor constituted by a coarse cloth and to subject the tablecloth to the action of water jets obtained by the intermediary of an assembly essentially comprising a rotary perforated drum, inside which is disposed a fuel injector in pressurized water, this assembly producing jets reorienting the fibers, a suction assembly for removing water being provided below the conveyor.
  • the invention also relates to an installation allowing the continuous implementation of the above method.
  • such an installation comprises, arranged in line:
  • _ a formation assembly, on a conveyor belt, of a web of continuous spunbond type filaments; _ at least one card or other equivalent system making it possible to deliver against at least one face of the “spunbond” sheet produced a web of staple fibers;
  • such an installation comprises, between the means of binding by water jets and the drying means, a set of texturing producing jets redirecting the fibers.
  • the article obtained is characterized in that the continuous filaments which compose it are associated with discontinuous fibers, fibers which cover the sheet based on continuous filaments and penetrate inside this. the latter by binding around said filaments.
  • Such a product retains all the mechanical characteristics of resistance of conventional spunbond plies, the cohesion of which is given by a calendering treatment, the product obtained also having the appearance and the properties such as feel and flexibility comparable to a conventional textile.
  • the staple fibers which are associated with the spunbond layer can be of any type, natural or chemical, hydrophobic or hydrophilic, depending on the applications for which the product is intended, the length of said fibers being between 5 mm and 60 mm and their titer between 0.8 dtex and 6.6 dtex.
  • the grammage of the veil (s) of staple fibers which are associated with the spunbond batt may vary depending on the applications, but will advantageously be between 10 g / m2 and 50 g / m2, a batt having a lower grammage at 10 g / m2 which does not allow correct binding of the spunbond ply, while a ply greater than 50 g / m2 reduces the economic advantage of the process.

  • _ Figure 2 is also a side view, showing in more detail how the binding operation is carried out by means of water jets and any additional texturing treatment.
  • the invention therefore relates to a method and an installation which makes it possible to produce, continuously, a new type of “spunbond” plies made of continuous synthetic filaments, plies which not only retain the properties of mechanical resistance ( elongation, tensile strength, tear resistance ...), equivalent to conventional "spunbond” plies consolidated by hot calendering and which, moreover, have the appearance, feel and flexibility of a conventional textile such than a fabric.
