Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric.
  • a nonwoven fabric which is composed of sheath-core type bicomponent fibers.
  • a nonwoven fabric is composed of sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fibers each of which is consisted of a sheath portion made of polyethylene and a core portion made of polyester, and the nonwoven fabric is used as a heat sensitive adhesive nonwoven fabric ( JP 8-14069 B , claim 1 in page 1).
  • the heat sensitive adhesive nonwoven fabric is laminated to an other material etc., and is heated and if necessarily pressed. Then, the heat sensitive adhesive nonwoven fabric is adhered to the other materials by melting or softening the polyethylene only of the sheath portion, because the heat sensitive adhesive nonwoven fabric is composed of the sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fibers each of which is consisted of the sheath portion made of the polyethylene having low melting point and the core portion made of the polyester having high melting point.
  • EP-A1-0 528 048 discloses that a nonwoven fabric is composed of sheath-core type bicomponent staple fibers each of which is consisted of a porous sheath portion made of porosized polyolefin-based synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene and a core portion made of polyester having a low melting point.
  • JP-B2-8 014 069 discloses that a nonwoven fabric is composed of sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fibers each of which is consisted of a sheath portion made of polyethylene and a core portion made of polyester.
  • WO 01/61084 A discloses that a nonwoven fabric is composed of polypropylene continuous fibers which are made by melt spinning a mixture of a first polypropylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst and a second polypropylene polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalyst. This document discloses that the mixture of two type polypropylene is used as raw material of the fiber.
  • JP 09 076386 A discloses that a nonwoven fabric is composed of sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fibers each of which is consisted of a sheath portion made of polyethylene and a core portion made of polyester.
  • the inventor has investigated to lower the melting point of the polyethylene in order to improve adhesive property of the heat sensitive adhesive nonwoven fabric.
  • a specific polyethylene instead of the conventional polyethylene, the inventor has discovered that a specific sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fiber is obtained which is distinguished from the above said conventional sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fiber. That is, the inventor has discovered that the surface of specific bicomponent continuous fiber is irregularly uneven.
  • the specific bicomponent continuous fiber has not a constant diameter, that is, has thin diameter parts and thick diameter parts, therefore the fiber is very soft because of the thin diameter parts. Accordingly, the nonwoven fabric consisted of the specific bicomponent continuous fibers is very soft.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which a very soft nonwoven fabric can be manufactured.
  • the nonwoven fabric contains specific sheath-core type bicomponent fibers.
  • the sheath portion of the bicomponent fiber is formed by polyethylene, and the thickness of the sheath portion is changed irregularly and at random along the axial direction and circular direction of the fiber.
  • the core portion of the bicomponent fiber is formed by polyester, and the configuration of the core portion is not substantially changed along the axial direction of the fiber.
  • the nonwoven fabric is containing the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fibers.
  • the sheath-core type bicomponent fiber may be a staple fiber or a continuous fiber (filament).
  • the continuous fiber may be suitable because of generally using a spunbond process to obtain the nonwoven fabric.
  • the sheath-core type bicomponent fiber is consisted of the sheath portion made of polyethylene and the core portion made of polyester. Since the solubility of the polyethylene and the polyester is moderately poor, the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fiber may be obtained. If the core portion is formed by polypropylene which has good solubility to polyethylene, it is difficult to obtain the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fiber. And if the core portion is formed by polyamide which has very poor solubility to polyethylene, it is too difficult to obtain the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fiber.
  • the configuration in cross section of the core portion is not substantially changed along the axial direction of the fiber as same as the prior arts.
  • the configuration in cross section of the core portion may be a circle, and the diameter of the circle is not substantially changed along the axial direction of the fiber.
  • the polyester forming the core portion may be polyethylene-terephthalate marketed or used industrially, especially marketed or used on textile industry. Concretely, it is suitable to use polyethylene-terephthalate of which the limiting viscosity is 0.50- 1.20.
  • the surface of the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fiber that is, the surface of the sheath portion is irregularly uneven.
  • the irregular unevenness comes out because the thickness of the sheath portion changes unequally and at random along the axial direction and circular direction of the fiber.
  • the thickness of the sheath portion is zero in a part which is not having the sheath portion, that is, in the part which the core portion is exposing.
  • the diameter of the core portion is ⁇ 0
  • the diameter of the bicomponent fiber in the part having most thick sheath portion is ⁇ 1
  • the diameter of the bicomponent fiber changes at random in the range of ⁇ 0 ⁇ ⁇ 1 , along the axial direction of the bicomponent fiber.
  • the radius of the core portion is ⁇ 0 /2
  • the radius of the bicomponent fiber in the part having most thick sheath portion is ⁇ 1 /2
  • the radius of the bicomponent fiber changes at random in the range of ⁇ 0 /2 ⁇ ⁇ 1 /2 along the circular direction of the bicomponent fiber.
  • the configuration of the cross section of the core portion and the bicomponent fiber is circle
  • the configuration may be not circle.
  • the diameter or the radius means a diameter or a radius of imaginary circle corresponding to cross section area of the bicomponent fiber.
  • first polyethylene having high spinnability it is suitable to use a mixture of a first polyethylene having high spinnability and a second polyethylene having low spinnability as the polyethylene forming the sheath portion.
  • first polyethylene having high spinnability it is difficult to come out irregular unevenness. That is, the bicomponent fiber may be same as that of the prior art.
  • second polyethylene having low spinnability it is difficult to obtain the bicomponent fiber by the process of melt spinning. It is suitable to mix 30-70 weight % of the first polyethylene and 70-30 weight % of the second polyethylene.
  • the first polyethylene it is most suitable to use the polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst.
  • the polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst has low melting point and high spinnability.
  • the second polyethylene it is common to use the polyethylene polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalyst, that is, sold industrially. It is most suitable to use the low density polyethylene which has low melting point and low spinnability.
  • the low density polyethylene may be 0.910 - 0.925 g/cc of density.
  • the weight mass of the sheath portion is 20-300 weight mass per 100 weight mass of the core portion.
  • the weight ratio means an average, because the thickness of the sheath portion is changing irregularly or at random along the axial direction and circular direction of the fiber. If the weight mass of the sheath portion is lower than 20 weight mass, it is difficult to obtain high adhesive strength, in the case of using the sheath portion as an adhesive agent. If the weight mass of the sheath portion is higher than 300 weight mass, the weight mass of the core portion is relatively smaller. Accordingly, because the diameter of the core portion becomes fine, the tensile strength is lower in the part which the core portion is exposing, that is, the sheath portion is not existing.
  • a fineness of the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fiber is 1.0-10 dtex.
  • the fineness means an average because a fineness changes irregularly or at random along the axial direction of the fiber.
  • FIG. 1-3 The forms of the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fibers are shown in the figure 1-3 .
  • An inside between two parallel straight lines expresses the core portion.
  • the sheath portion is expressed by surges which are existing on the upper and the lower of the two parallel straight lines.
  • the thickness of the sheath portion changes irregularly or at random along the axial direction and circular direction of the fiber.
  • Figure 8 shows each concrete configuration of cross sections of the bicomponent fibers. It may be understood that the thickness of the sheath portion changes irregularly or at random along the circular direction of the fiber.
  • a weight of the nonwoven fabric containing the specific sheath-core type bicomponent fibers is not restricted, but it is suitable that the weight is 10-100 g/m 2 .
  • the nonwoven fabric is laminated with a plastic film, a woven or knitted fabric, a paper, or an other nonwoven fabric and adhered by heat-sealing, it is possible to obtain a composite material. That is, when the heat and if necessarily press is given to the polyethylene forming the sheath portion, the two pieces of the nonwoven fabric are adhered or the nonwoven fabric is adhered to the other material by the melting or softening polyethylene.
  • the polyethylene forming the sheath portion is the mixture of the first polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst and the second polyethylene which is low density polyethylene, it is possible to adhere by heating on lower temperature, because the polyethylene forming the sheath portion has lower melting point.
  • the other material is the material made of polypropylene, especially polypropylene film, it is possible to obtain a composite material of which the nonwoven fabric and the material are strongly adhered, because the polyethylene forming the sheath portion has good solubility to polypropylene.
  • the other material is a polyethylene film, it is advantage that the polyethylene film is hardly shrunk, strained and transformed by heating.
  • a typical method for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric relating to the invention is comprised of the following steps.
  • the polyester and the polyethylene are prepared.
  • the polyethylene is the mixture of the first polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst and the second polyethylene polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
  • the polyester is provided to each core hole of sheath-core type spinning holes.
  • the polyethylene is provided to each sheath hole of the above said spinning holes.
  • the first polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst and the second polyethylene polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalyst, what were above described are used.
  • the first polyethylene and the second polyethylene are mixed at the above described ratio of weight, and the mixture is used as the polyethylene.
  • melt flow rate (MFR) of the polyethylene is 16-21 grams per 10 minutes. In this range, it is easy to form the sheath portion of which the surface is irregular unevenness when spinning at a high speed. However, it is possible to form the sheath portion of which the surface is irregular unevenness, by spinning at a higher speed when the value of MFR is larger than the above range, or by spinning at a lower speed when the value of MFR is smaller than the above range. It is suitable that the value of MFR is in the above range, when spinning at 3000-4000 meters per a minute which is commonly used. It is suitable that the melting point of the polyethylene is lower, especially is 90-110 °C. Because it is possible to adhere by heating in a low temperature.
  • the polyethylene and the polyester are heated and molten.
  • the molten polyester is provided to each core hole of the sheath-core type spinning holes in a spinneret.
  • the molten polyethylene is provided to each sheath hole of the above spinning holes.
  • the continuous fiber of which the diameters differed did not be obtained, because the continuous fiber cuts at fine diameter parts. That is, on the conventional melt spinning, in the case that an unevenness is formed on the surface of the fiber, the unevenness is formed just after the melt spinning when the resin as polyester etc. has high fluidity. Because the stress at the melt spinning is centralized in parts of fine diameters for the high fluidity, the spinning fiber is easy to cut in the parts of the fine diameters. Accordingly, the continuous fiber of which the surface is irregular unevenness may not be stably obtained. However, the continuous fiber may be stably obtained by the method according to the present invention.
  • the principle of the invention may be as the following.
  • the unevenness is not formed just after the melt spinning when the resin as polyester etc. has high fluidity.
  • the irregular unevenness may be formed because the polyethylene of the sheath portion is stressed.
  • the reason of the stress of the polyethylene is that the polyethylene is the mixture of the first polyethylene having high spinnability and the second polyethylene having low spinnability. That is, the first polyethylene may form the fiber with the polyester, but the second polyethylene may obstruct to form the fiber.
  • the fibers are accumulated on the moving conveyor.
  • a web formed by accumulating the fibers is partially heated and pressed by passing through between a pair of embossing rolls etc..
  • the sheath portions are molten or softened at the parts which the heat and press are given.
  • the bicomponent fibers are bonded at the parts with each other.
  • the nonwoven fabric which has high tensile strength.
  • the nonwoven fabric comprised of the sheath-core type bicomponent fibers is suitably used to obtain the composite material adhering the nonwoven fabric to the other materials by heating as the above described.
  • the nonwoven fabric is suitably used to obtain the bag of which the edges are adhered by heating as the above described.
  • the nonwoven fabric is used as a material of a garment, of a sanitary, of a industry, of an agriculture and of a living.
  • the nonwoven fabric is comprised of the sheath-core type bicomponent fibers.
  • the fiber is consisted of the core portion of which the configulation in cross-section is not substantially changed along the axial direction of the fiber and the sheath portion of which the thickness is changed irregularly and at random along the axial direction and circular direction of the fiber. That is, the fiber has parts of fine diameters and parts of thick diameters along the axial direction of the fiber. Softness is given to the fiber because the parts of fine diameters exist.
  • Tensile strength of the fiber is same as a sheath-core type bicomponent fiber in the prior art, because the diameter of the core portion is not changed along the axial direction of the fiber. Accordingly, the nonwoven fabric comprised of the above said bicomponenet fibers has two properties which are the softness and the high tensile strength.
  • the sheath-core type bicomponent fiber diffusely reflects visible ray, because the surface of the fiber is irregularly unevenness.
  • the nonwoven fabric comprised of the fibers may be whitish.
  • the nonwoven fabric may be adhered to other material (included nonwoven fabric) by heating on low temperature. Because the first polyethylene polymerized by metallocene catalyst has low melting point, and, the specific second polyethylene is low density polyethylene which is polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalyst and has low melting point.
  • the sheath portion is formed by the mixture of the first polyethylene having high spinnability and the second polyethylene having low spinnability.
  • the core portion is formed of the polyester, and the diameter of the core portion does not substantially change as the prior art. Accordingly, the sheath-core type bicomponent fiber of the core portion of which the configuration in cross-section is not substantially changed along the axial direction of the fiber, and of the sheath portion of which the thickness is changed irregularly and at random along the axial direction and the circular direction of the fiber is stably obtained. And the nonwoven fabric comprised of the above fibers is too stably obtained.
  • the invention is more described on examples as the followings, but the invention is not limited in the range of the examples.
  • the invention may be understood on the discovery that it is stably able to obtain the sheath-core type bicomponent fiber of which the surface (that is, the surface of the sheath portion) has irregular unevenness.
  • the adhesion strength was measured on the method of T type peeling in JIS L 1089. That was, each of five test adhesive samples was tensioned by Tensilon RTM-500 provided by Toyo Baldwin on the conditions of 10 mm in distance between chucks and 100 mm/minute in tensile speed. An adhesion strength was a strength when the sample was broken. And average adhesion strength of five samples was the adhesion strength.

  • each of the continuous fibers had smooth on the each surface along the axial direction of the fiber.
  • the each sheath-core type bicomponent continuous fiber obtained with the examples had fine parts and thick parts in diameter by existing the irregular unevenness. Therefore, softness was given to the continuous fiber, as the result, the each of the nonwoven fabrics obtained with the examples 1-5 was softer and had more soft feeling than the nonwoven fabric obtained with the comparative examples 1. Because the visible ray was diffusely reflected for the irregular unevenness, the each of the nonwoven fabrics obtained with the examples 1-5 was more whitish than the nonwoven fabrics obtained with the comparative examples 1.
  • the nonwoven fabrics obtained with the examples 1-5 had higher adhesion strength than the nonwoven fabric obtained with the comparative examples 1, even if the temperature to adhere was low.
  • the configuration of the cross section of the core portion which was made of the polyester did not change along the axial direction of the fiber as the prior art. Accordingly, the nonwoven fabrics obtained with the examples 1-5 had the same tensile strength as the nonwoven fabric obtained with the comparative examples 1 because the core portion had substantially same diameter.
