Definitions
- composition for permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products Composition for permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products
- the invention relates to a composition for the permanent hydrophilic finish of textile fibers and textile products made thereof, such as nonwovens.
- nonwovens For the production of nonwovens various methods are available. When spunbonding by spunbond process or melt-blow process the filaments formed by the melt spinning process from extruded polymers are forced under high pressure through spinnerets, stretched in a hot or cold air stream and deposited into a nonwoven. The nonwoven fabric can be subsequently solidified chemically, mechanically or thermally. In the production of dry nonwovens staple fibers are used, which are first carded to form a batt and then solidified chemically, mechanically or thermally. Hydrophilic nonwovens are used in particular as cover fleeces or as intermediate fleeces for hygiene articles such as baby diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinence products and similar products.
- Such webs have the task to forward body fluids such as urine and blood quickly to the underlying absorption layer.
- fibers or filaments of thermoplastic polymers such as polyolefin or polyester are mostly used.
- these polymers are hydrophobic and therefore have to be rendered hydrophilic either during fiber production and / or further processing into nonwoven fabric.
- the hydrophilization is carried out by treating the filaments with known spin finishes, which can then be further processed into staple fibers and / or directly into nonwoven fabrics. It is also more usual to treat the nonwovens before further processing into a hygiene article with a hydrophilic finishing agent as a so-called "top coat".
- hydrophilic spin finish or a hydrophilic finishing agent The treatment of the hydrophobic fibers, filaments or nonwovens with a hydrophilic spin finish or a hydrophilic finishing agent is intended to give as long as possible a lasting hydrophilicity over the longest possible period of use of the nonwoven.
- the hydrophilic spin finish or the finishing agent should therefore adhere well to the hydrophobic web and not or only slightly washed out by liquids.
- Modern nonwovens should have a permanent hydrophilicity and be wetted several times with water or body fluids such as urine.
- compositions for hydrophilic finishing of nonwoven fabrics and fibers for sanitary applications have heretofore been sold as either nearly anhydrous oils or as dilute aqueous dispersions to achieve permanent hydrophilization of the fibers or nonwovens.
- the commercially available compositions are then diluted on site in fiber or nonwoven production with water, applied from aqueous dilution on the fibers or nonwovens and then dried.
- Patent DE 196 45 380 B4 discloses a composition for the permanent hydrophilization of polyolefin fibers with cationically modified siloxanes, esterquats and nonionic surfactants.
- the commercially available compositions all contain water and / or solvents and show only a limited storage stability.
- the invention has for its object to provide a composition for the permanent hydrophilic finish of textile fibers and fabrics such as nonwovens, which has an improved storage stability and with the stable permanent-hydrophilic finish of textile fibers and fabrics is achieved.
- This object is achieved by a composition for the permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products with the features of claim 1.
- composition according to the invention for the permanent hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products consists of:
- Ammonium compound in an amount of 25-85% by weight, said quaternary ammonium compound having a melting point of at least 45 ° C;
- composition according to the invention can advantageously be diluted with water as required by the customer and can be diluted from the aqueous dilution onto the water be applied hydrophilic fibers or the fleece.
- the provision as a composition with a melting point above 45 ° C ensures sufficient storage stability.
- composition according to the invention exhibits a permanent-hydrophilic finishing of textile fibers and textile products comparable to the performance of spin finishes and finishing agents based on aqueous dispersions while retaining their respective performance properties.
- the composition of the invention is present as granules. This allows a reduction in storage and transport costs and simplified handling at the customer. In addition, the granular composition is less sensitive to changing storage conditions.
- composition according to the invention may also be provided as an aqueous dispersion having a solids content of at least 10% by weight, preferably at least 15% by weight. Also in this case, the storage stability compared to dilute aqueous dispersions is significantly improved.
- the melting point of the composition is at least 55 ° C.
- the upper limit of the melting point of the composition according to the invention is dependent on the components used in each case and the dispersibility and the desired performance properties of the composition. The inventors believe that compositions with a melting point above 120 ° C, preferably above 90 ° C, can no longer be meaningfully used as finishing agents for textile fibers and textile products.
- the fibers and nonwovens treated with the composition of the present invention exhibit good permanent hydrophilicity and a good rate of absorption.
- the term "fibers” also includes "filaments", including single filaments and multi-filaments. The terms “fibers” and “filaments” are therefore used synonymously.
- Hydrophilic fibers, materials and surfaces are wettable spontaneously with water and aqueous liquids or show a contact angle of less than 90 ° ,
- “permanently hydrophilic” means a textile product treated with a finishing agent (fiber or fabric) which has the "Multiple Strike Through” test according to WSP standard 70.7 (1 1) with penetration times of ⁇ 2I ⁇ 3 / ⁇ 5 / ⁇ 5 / ⁇ 5 seconds.
- the storage stability of the dispersions known from the prior art is up to about 6 months.
- the compositions of the present invention may be stored for at least 12 months at 22 ° C and 50% relative humidity without degradation of product properties as measured by the multiple strike-through test. Even in the form of highly concentrated dispersions having a solids content of at least 10%, preferably at least 15%, the compositions of the invention remain castable under these conditions.
- the preferred granular compositions are considered to be stable on storage if the appearance of the granules does not change after storage at 50 ° C. for 3 days.
- textile fibers in particular synthetic fibers or filaments of polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene as well as polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactides (PLA) or bicomponent fibers of polyolefins and polyesters are used.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PLA polylactides
- Made from these fibers Textile products are preferably non-woven fabrics (nonwovens), in particular nonwovens.

- the hydrophilically modified polyalkylsiloxane of component (A) comprises a nonionic alkoxylated polyalkylsiloxane having an ⁇ , ⁇ structure or comb structure, optionally end-capped with alkyl groups, acyl groups or phosphate groups.
- Suitable high-viscosity, hydrophilically modified polyalkylsiloxanes are commercially available, for example, under the name TEGOPREN TM from Evonik Industries or as L-series silicone oil from Wacker AG.
- the hydrophilically modified polyalkylsiloxane of component (A) imparts to the composition of the invention the ability of rapid hydrophilization with good permanence and improves the absorbency of the products treated with the composition according to the invention.
- the proportion of component (A) in the composition of the invention is in the range of 3 to 30 wt .-%, preferably in the range of 10 to 25 wt .-%, based on the total weight of the composition. A higher proportion of the component (A) deteriorates the processing and / or granulating ability of the composition and increases the price.
