Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the production of core-sheath staple fibers with a three-dimensional crimping by extruding and cooling the fiber and subsequent multi-stage treatment in a fiber strand to cut the fiber into staple fibers and a core-sheath staple with a three-dimensional crimp consisting of several polymer components.
  • Synthetic staple fibers are increasingly used for the production of nonwoven materials, wherein in particular the external nature as well as the possibility of joining the fibers represent special characteristic quantities. It has been found that the staple fibers with a core-sheath characteristic, in which the sheath of the fiber has a thermobondierbares polymer material, is particularly well suited to obtain by thermobonding a preconsolidated nonwoven layer. Such nonwoven layers are preferably used for multilayer nonwoven materials, as substantially intermixings of the fiber between the individual layers occur. Such a core-sheath fiber is known, for example, from JP 2-191717.
  • the fiber is extruded from two different polymer components in order to obtain a material favorable for thermobonding in the sheath of the fibers.
  • the polymer components are chosen such that after cooling, these have different shrinkage behavior, resulting in the further treatment for self-crimping of the fiber.
  • Such a property of the fiber which is also known as so-called three-dimensional crimping, is particularly intensified in that the core is formed eccentrically within the fiber cross-section and thus a material supply which differs substantially on both sides of the fiber. which increases the self-curling effect. After melt-spinning the fiber, it is drawn, mechanically crimped and cut into staple fibers after shrinking at about 100 ° C.
  • the eccentric arrangement of the core within the fiber cross-section has the disadvantage that in places an insufficient sheathing with the respective second polymer component is formed, which hampers the further processing process, in particular with regard to the thermal bonding properties.
  • a further disadvantage is that the generated 3D crimp is based essentially on the differences between the polymer components.
  • Such a core-sheath staple fiber and its production process are also known from US 2004, 0234757 A1, wherein the eccentric formation of the polymer components within the fiber cross-section to produce 3D crimping is to be improved by unilaterally forming the fiberdeluflstrom is acted upon.

  • it is advantageous to produce thermal bonds through individual melting points to each fiber safely.
  • the different crystallinity produced during the solidification of the fiber, in particular in the cladding region due to the sharp blowing, leads to a high degree of self-crimping, which is further intensified by the material difference resulting between the cladding and the core.
  • What is essential here, however, is that a multi-stage treatment carried out in a fiber web after melt-spinning of the fiber is carried out at temperatures which are below the glass transition temperature of the polymer component in the sheath of the fibers.
  • the core-sheath staple fiber according to the invention has, in the symmetrically formed core-sheath structure, a fine crystalline structure on one side of the fiber and a substantially coarser crystalline structure on an opposite side of the fiber.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de fibres courtes ayant une structure noyau-gaine avec une frisure tridimensionnelle, ainsi qu'une fibre courte ayant une structure noyau-gaine ainsi obtenue. La fibre est extrudée sous forme d'une structure symétrique noyau-gaine à partir de deux masses fondues de polymères différentes, un composant polymérique A constituant le noyau et un composant polymérique B constituant la gaine. Afin d'obtenir dans la fibre une frisure tridimensionnelle la plus intensive possible, le refroidissement de la fibre est effectué à l'aide d'un flux d'air de refroidissement précis avec une vitesse de déplacement de l'air d'au moins 3 m/sec, le traitement multi-étape de l'ensemble de fibres, réalisé après l'assemblage des fibres en un câble, étant effectué à une température de contrainte maximale située sous la température de transition vitreuse du composant polymérique B constituant la gaine de la fibre. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir un degré plus important de frisure tridimensionnelle après le traitement multi-étape et avant le découpage de la fibre.
