Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a tufted nonwoven fabric and the use of a nonwoven fabric obtained therefrom, in particular as a carpet carrier.
  • Tuftteppichs the so-called tufting or tufting, that is a technique for producing three-dimensional surfaces, used, which works on the principle of a sewing machine.
  • Tuft needles bring a tufted yarn into a base material, the so-called tufa back.
  • the needlestick-mounted tufting needles are arranged in the width of the base material, such as a nonwoven fabric, and pierce through the base material at the same time.
  • the introduced tufting yarn on the underside of the base material is held in place by grippers, known as loopers. This results in loops or loops, so-called knobs that form the visible side (upper layer) in the finished carpet.
  • velor carpet which is used especially in the automotive interior, preferably with a share of more than 95%.
  • Non-woven fabrics made of thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and / or polypropylene (PP) fibers, which are obtained by needling, spot welding, by means of a chemical binder, by means of bonding fibers or by combinations of these solidification processes, are frequently used as backings are bound.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PP polypropylene
  • the contact area and friction between the fibers used in the tuft back nonwoven fabric and the Tuftgarnen is relatively small, so that the holding force for Tuftgarn especially in complicated carpet surface structures, such as in so-called high-low velor or looping qualities or cross-over velor qualities (with polnoppene offset) is often insufficient.
  • the tufting yarn introduced into the back of the tuft after piercing and retracting the tufting needle may already lose its intended position, that is to say, for example, the height or position of the nub, due to the combination of low tuft back density and yarn tension and yarn quality variations, and the tufting yarn may even become loose be pulled out of the tufa back. In both cases, this can lead to clearly visible defects and undesirable design deviations in the tufted carpet top layer.
  • the object of the invention has been found to provide a method for producing a tufted nonwoven fabric, which generates by the nature of the fibers used in the nubs adhesion properties improved nonwoven fabric, in particular an improved carpet backing.
  • the demanding Tuftrati should be much easier and the Tuft Bulgariaen should be increased.
  • the product made therefrom, in particular the carpet should show improved use properties.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the inventive method for producing a tufted nonwoven fabric of a round fiber cross section deviating fibers are used which show an adhesion to a Tuftgarn greater than 40 mN, wherein the adhesive force is determined transversely to the longitudinal direction of the fibers.
  • fibers By fibers is meant here staple fibers or continuous fibers, so-called filaments.
  • the fibers can also be combined to form nonwovens, in particular bonded nonwovens, the nonwovens.
  • the proportion of fibers having a fiber cross section deviating from a round cross section is preferably 1 to 99% by weight.
  • the concrete cross-sectional shape of the fibers used plays a subordinate role as long as under the specified conditions a nubbing adhesion to a Tuftgarn in the specified order of magnitude is achieved. It may be fibers with a triangular cross section, called trilobal fibers, star-shaped fibers with four, five or more legs, fibers whose cross-section is flat, oval, T-shaped, M-shaped, S-shaped, Y-shaped or H-shaped Cross section show are used.
  • fibers containing at least two polymer components are used.
  • the fibers used preferably contain the different polymer components in the form of a mixture of monocomponent, multicomponent or mixtures of these fibers.
  • a polymer component can act as a binding component if a thermal solidification takes place, wherein the melting temperature of this component is preferably 10 to 155 ° C below that of the other component.
  • the proportion of the binder components in the fibers or their mixture based on the total weight of the nonwoven fabric is 1 to 20 wt .-%, preferably equal to or less than 10 wt .-%, more preferably equal to or less than 5 wt .-%. This allows the mechanical properties of the manufactured nonwoven fabric can be adapted to the particular use.
  • thermoplastic polymers in particular of polyesters, of polyolefins, preferably polyethylene and / or polypropylene, of polyamides, of polylactates and / or those derived therefrom, for the production of the tufted nonwoven, in particular for use as a carpet carrier Consist of copolymers.
  • the increased fiber-to-fiber friction provides better dimensional stability of the tuft backing and the tufted carpet backing made therefrom, which is beneficial in all carpet making processes.
  • the tufted carpet back is more dimensionally stable because such fibers adhere more than round fibers to each other due to increased static friction and sliding friction and thus improve the dimensional stability in all hydrothermal processes.
  • the tufted nonwovens produced by the process are used as carpet carriers for carpet production, the fibers preferably predominantly consisting of polymers, such as polyesters and / or polyamides.
  • the tufted nonwoven fabrics produced by the process can also be used as filter media or as a distribution layer in absorbent sanitary articles.
  • the suitability of the fibers used to make the tufted nonwoven fabrics is determined in the manner described below.
  • the yarns used for the measurement of the holding force or adhesive force in the carpet industry are customary tufted yarns, such as, for example, bulked continuous filament (BCF) yarn, which consists of 64 individual filaments with a single thickness of 19 dtex. It measures the force that occurs on the fiber or yarn as the stiction is overcome and the fiber or yarn begins to slip.
  • BCF bulked continuous filament
  • a non-woven fabric described in more detail below is produced, which is particularly suitable for use in the carpet industry.
  • the nonwoven fabric consists of 90% by weight of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers as described in U.S. Pat FIGS. 1 and 2 represented, approximately M-shaped cross-sections, which are bound by a copolyester with a lower by about 50 ° C melting temperature and lead by the non-round cross-section to improved adhesion.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • SEM images Scanning electron micrographs (SEM images) enable images of the fiber-fleece cross sections and the surface structure with the corresponding magnifications.
  • the SEM images were taken with a low pressure scanning electron microscope JEOL JSM-6480LV under an acceleration voltage of 20 kV.
  • the Figures 3 and 4 show in comparison SEM images of fiber cross sections of conventional round PET fibers.
  • the fiber cross sections of the non-round fibers in each case have a significantly larger circumference compared to the fiber cross sections of the round fibers, which leads to a correspondingly larger surface area of the non-round fiber.
  • the elongation is between 90 and 150% (DIN 53812 and DIN 53816).
  • the nonwoven fabric has a basis weight in the range of 65 to 180 g / m 2 .
  • the specific initial modulus in the production direction is 0.97 Nm 2 / g, which is determined at an angle of 90 ° transverse to 1.1 Nm 2 / g.
  • a nonwoven fabric made of round fibers under the same boundary conditions has an initial modulus of 0.88 Nm 2 / g in the production direction and 0.79 Nm 2 / g in the transverse direction.
  • the maximum elongation of such a nonwoven fabric is between 25 and 50% (EN 29073 Part 3).
