  • the warp yarn is preferably substantially composed of a polyethylene terephthalate-based polyester polymer from the viewpoint of not causing waviness (a state in which the base fabric surface of the hook-and-loop fastener irregularly rises and falls and does not become a horizontal surface) due to heat, water absorption, and moisture absorption, and further from the viewpoint of improving the heat fusibility of the weft yarn. More preferably, the warp yarn is formed from a polyethylene terephthalate homopolymer.

  • the resin to be blended is not polytrimethylene terephthalate but a nylon-based resin, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate or the like, the peeling durability cannot be improved, and the multifilament yarn constituting the loop engagement element is easily fibrillated by repeating engagement and peeling, so that the peeling durability cannot be improved. Therefore, this is an effect peculiar to polytrimethylene terephthalate.

  • a loop was formed on a base fabric in such a manner that the multifilament yarn for loop engagement elements is driven at a ratio of one warp yarn to four warp yarns in parallel to the warp yarn without crossing over the warp yarn and five weft yarns are floated and sunk to form a loop, and the loop is arranged in a row in the warp direction on the woven fabric, and such a row exists in parallel to the weft direction in multiple rows, and the weft yarn over which the loop existing in the row crosses is different from the weft yarn over which a loop of a row adjacent to the row is crossing (specifically, a weft yarn located in the middle of two weft yarns that are crossed over by two loops in front and behind that exist in a row is used as a weft yarn that is crossed over by a loop of an adjacent row).
  • a tape for a loop type hook-and-loop fastener woven under the above conditions was subjected to a heat treatment at 200°C, which is a temperature at which only the sheath component of the weft yarn is melted and the warp yarn, the multifilament for loop engagement element, and the core component of the weft yarn are not melted.
  • the sheath component was melted and the yarn existing in the vicinity was fused to the core component of the weft yarn.
  • the obtained loop type hook-and-loop fastener had a loop engagement element density of 44 elements/cm 2 , the height of the loop engagement element from the base fabric surface was 2.4 mm, and the loop engagement element was twisted so that most of the loop surface faced in the warp direction.
  • Table 1 below shows the results of the initial engagement strength and the peeling durability after repeating 5000 times of engagement and peeling of the obtained loop type hook-and-loop fastener.
  • a loop type hook-and-loop fastener having a napped structure in which the yarn for loop engagement element forms a loop after sinking by one weft yarn and having a loop engagement element density of 120 elements/cm 2 was woven, and then the surface was rubbed with a card clothing to divide (loosen) the multifilament yarn constituting the loop engagement element.
  • the surface of the obtained loop type hook-and-loop fastener was observed with a microscope, as shown in Fig. 2 , the multifilament yarn constituting the loop engagement element was almost completely divided into individual filaments (loosened), and no filament broken by the card clothing treatment was found.
  • the loop type hook-and-loop fasteners of the present Examples both of those not treated by rubbing with a card clothing and those treated by rubbing with a card clothing, are excellent in initial engagement strength and extremely excellent in engagement strength after repeating 5000 times of engagement and peeling.
  • a loop type hook-and-loop fastener was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the blending amount of polytrimethylene terephthalate was changed to 2% by mass (Example 2), 7% by mass (Example 3), 0% by mass (Comparative Example 1), or 10% by mass (Comparative Example 2) as the multifilament yarn for loop engagement elements used in Example 1.
  • Comparative Example 3 a loop type hook-and-loop fastener was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 using a multifilament yarn formed of polytrimethylene terephthalate alone as a multifilament yarn for loop engagement elements.
  • the draw ratios of the multifilament yarn having a blending amount of 2% by mass (Example 2) and the multifilament yarn having a blending amount of 7% by mass (Example 3) were both 3 times, and as a result, the elongation at break was 25% and 40%, respectively.
  • the loop surfaces of the obtained loop type hook-and-loop fasteners were all faced in the warp direction, but the loop surfaces were faced accurately in the warp direction as the blending amount of the polymethylene terephthalate increased.
  • Table 1 below also shows the results of the initial engagement strength and the peeling durability after performing 5000 times of engagement and peeling of the obtained loop type hook-and-loop fasteners.
  • Example 2 and Example 3 as in Example 1, some of the filaments forming the multifilament yarn constituting the loop engagement element were partially broken, but most of them were not broken, and the multifilament yarn was in a state of being divided (loosened) at the loop portion, and no falling loop engagement element was found.
  • Example 3 a partially broken multifilament yarn was observed as a stretching yarn.
  • Comparative Example 1 a considerable amount of the filaments forming the multifilaments constituting the loop engagement elements was broken, and in addition, some of the loop engagement elements fell down and lost their engagement ability.
  • the stability of the loop shape was poor, and the multifilament yarn could not be used as an engagement element of a loop type hook-and-loop fastener.
  • a woven fabric for a hook-and-loop coexistence type fastener was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the following monofilament yarn for hook engagement elements was used in place of every two multifilament yarns for loop engagement elements in Example 1, and two rows of loops for hook engagement elements exist adjacent to the two rows of loop engagement elements on the surface of the hook-and-loop fastener, and the multifilament yarn for hook engagement elements was formed so as to cross over three warp yarns and one weft yarn at the position where the loops for hook engagement elements were formed (Example 4).
  • Example 4 a woven fabric for a hook-and-loop coexistence type fastener was prepared using the polybutylene terephthalate multifilament yarn used in Comparative Example 1, which was not blended with polytrimethylene terephthalate at all, as the multifilament yarn for loop engagement elements (Comparative Example 4).
  • the obtained two kinds of woven fabrics were heat-treated in the same manner as in Example 1, and the two rows of loops for the hook engagement elements were cut at the leg closer to the central portion to form the loops as the hook engagement elements.
  • the obtained hook-and-loop coexistence type fastener had a loop engagement element density of 30 elements/cm 2 and a hook engagement element density of 30 elements/cm 2 , the height of the loop engagement element was 2.5 mm, and the height of the hook engagement element was 2.0 mm.
  • the loop surface was completely faced in the warp direction.
  • Table 2 also shows the results of the initial engagement strength and the peeling durability after performing 5000 times of engagement and peeling of the obtained two kinds of hook-and-loop coexistence type fasteners. As the engagement partner, each hook-and-loop coexistence type fastener was used. Table 2 PTT Blending Amount (mass%) Initial Engagement Strength Peeling Durability after 5000 times of Engagement and Peeling Example 4 5 1.94 1.85 Comparative Example 4 0 1.83 1.66 PTT: polytrimethylene terephthalate Engagement strength: peeling strength (N/cm 2 ) measured in conformity with JIS L3416
  • Example 4 As a result of observing the state of the loop engagement elements after repeating 5000 times of engagement and peeling with a microscope, in Example 4, some of the filaments forming the multifilament yarn constituting the loop engagement element were partially broken, but most of them were not broken, and the multifilament yarn was in a state of being divided (loosened) at the loop portion, and no falling loop engagement element was found. In contrast, in Comparative Example 4, a considerable amount of the filaments forming the multifilaments constituting the loop engagement elements was broken, and in addition, some of the loop engagement elements fell down and lost their engagement ability.
