Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swimsuit including elastic polyurethane yarns, which has high water repellency and keeps a low water retention rate for an extended time to resist being wetted when immersed in water.
  • Water and oil repellent agents containing fluorine-based compounds have been widely used to impart water repellency and oil repellency to clothing materials and industrial materials made from textiles.
  • fluorine-based water and oil repellent agents are found to contain compounds that may affect the living environment and living organisms, such as perfluorooctanoate (hereinafter PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (hereinafter PFOS). Therefore, fluorine-based water and oil repellent agents free of these compounds are demanded for textiles.
  • PFOA perfluorooctanoate
  • PFOS perfluorooctane sulfonate
  • Patent Document 1 proposes a water and oil repellent fabric obtained by applying a fluorine-based water repellent agent free of PFOA and a crosslinker to a fabric and subjecting it to heat treatment.
  • Patent Document 2 proposes a fiber structure in which a fluorine-based water repellent compound having a PFOA and/or PFOS concentration of less than 5 ng/g is fixed to monofilament surfaces, on which a layer of the fluorine-based compound is further fixed to form a two-layer structure. Both of the above, however, have lower water repellent performance than the fluorine-based water repellent agents containing PFOA with 8 or more carbon atoms.
  • Patent Document 3 proposes a method of fixing a polymer containing a specific fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative in a part, a melamine resin, and a water-dispersible polyfunctional isocyanate crosslinker to fiber surfaces, through at least one of a sulfone group-containing compound or a polyphenol compound fixed to the fiber surfaces.
  • This method achieves a low water retention rate, but the water repellent performance is lower than the fluorine-based water repellent agents containing PFOA with 8 or more carbon atoms when immersed in water for an extended time.
  • a swimsuit of the present invention is a swimsuit including an elastic polyurethane yarn.
  • the elastic polyurethane yarn contains: 0.5 to 10% by mass (mass%) of a cationic high-molecular-weight compound A having a number-average molecular weight of 2000 to 10000; and an inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B.
  • the mass ratio of the cationic high-molecular-weight compound A to the inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B ranges from 0.3 to 3, and a silicone oil is applied to the elastic polyurethane yarn.
  • a fabric for the swimsuit is treated with water repellent finishing.
  • the ratio of fluorine (F) to carbon (C) on the elastic polyurethane yarn of the swimsuit is 0.030 or more in an elemental mass concentration as measured according to scanning electron microscope - energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX).
  • the present invention provides a swimsuit with high water repellency, a low water retention rate, and high buoyancy by improving the water repellency of the elastic polyurethane yarn itself.
  • Such a swimsuit is advantageous for competitive swimmers to swim at high speed and for general swimmers to swim comfortably.
  • the elastic polyurethane yarn of the present invention contains: 0.5 to 10 mass% of a cationic high-molecular-weight compound A having a number-average molecular weight of 2000 to 10000; and an inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B.
  • the mass ratio of the cationic high-molecular-weight compound A to the inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B ranges from 0.3 to 3, and a silicone oil is applied to the elastic polyurethane yarn.
  • the water repellent treatment finishing agent used in the present invention makes the ratio of fluorine (F) / carbon (C) (hereinafter, referred to as a F/C ratio) on the elastic polyurethane yarn satisfy 0.030 or more in the elemental mass concentration according to SEM-EDX.
  • the F/C ratio of 0.030 or more on the elastic polyurethane fiber indicates that the adhesion amount of the fluorine-based water repellent agent is large, whereas the F/C ratio of less than 0.03 indicates that the adhesion amount of the fluorine-based water repellent agent is small, and wettability is not lowered sufficiently.
  • the F/C ratio is preferably 0.045 or more.
  • the water repellent finishing of the present invention preferably contains a water repellent agent and a crosslinker.
  • a crosslinker melamine resin, a water-dispersible polyfunctional isocyanate crosslinker or the like is suitably used, and these may be mixed together.
  • the melamine resin include trimethylolmelamine and hexamethylolmelamine.
  • the water-dispersible polyfunctional isocyanate crosslinker is not particularly limited as long as it is an organic compound containing two or more isocyanate functional groups in the molecule.
  • Examples of the same includes tolylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate, triphenyl triisocyanate, xylene diisocyanate, and diclohexylmethane diisocyanate.
  • the water-dispersible polyfunctional isocyanate crosslinker is a polyfunctional blocked isocyanate crosslinker obtained by reacting a trimethylolpropane tolylene diisocyanate adduct, a glycerin tolylene diisocyanate adduct or the like, with a blocking compound (a compound that regenerates an isocyanate group when heated to 70 to 200°C together with an isocyanate adduct), phenol, diethyl malonate, methyl ethyl ketoxime, sodium bisulfite, ⁇ -caprolactam, etc.
  • a blocking compound a compound that regenerates an isocyanate group when heated to 70 to 200°C together with an isocyanate adduct
  • the melamine resin is mixed in a proportion of 1 to 40 mass% based on the solid content of the water repellent agent, and the polyfunctional isocyanate crosslinker is mixed in a proportion of 1 to 10 mass% based on the solid content of the water repellent agent.
  • the swimsuit of the present invention includes the elastic polyurethane yarn in an amount of preferably 5 to 70 mass%, more preferably 5 to 60 mass%, further preferably 5 to 50 mass%, and particularly preferably 5 to 40 mass%, when the swimsuit is assumed to be 100 mass%.
  • the swimsuit including the elastic polyurethane yarn can keep high water repellency and a low water retention rate as a whole.
  • synthetic fiber yarns such as polyester yarns, nylon yarns, and polypropylene yarns can be appropriately used.
  • the water repellency of the swimsuit of the present invention is preferably grade 4 or higher, and more preferably grade 5 in the spray test according to JIS L 1092.
  • the fabric having a water repellency of grade 4 or higher is suitable for, e.g., a swimsuit.
  • the water retention rate of the swimsuit after 60 minutes is preferably 50 mass% or less, more preferably 40 mass% or less, and further preferably 30 mass% or less of the mass of the swimsuit.
  • the elastic polyurethane yarn may be either a bare yarn or a yarn covered with another synthetic fiber yarn.
  • the covered yarn may be either a single covered yarn or a double covered yarn.
  • the swimsuit is preferably constituted by a woven fabric or knitted fabric using an elastic polyurethane fiber yarn covered with another synthetic fiber yarn.
  • the synthetic fiber yarn include, but are not particularly limited to, polyester synthetic fiber yarns typified by polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and copolymerized polyester fiber yarns containing any of these as a main component; polyamide synthetic fiber yarns typified by nylon 6 and nylon 6,6; and polypropylene synthetic fiber yarns.
  • polyamide synthetic fiber yarns and polyester synthetic fiber yarns are preferred.
  • the polyamide fibers are preferable from the viewpoint of strength and processability with the elastic polyurethane yarn.
  • the synthetic fibers may have any fiber form and any cross-sectional shape, but it is preferable to subject them to false twisting by a known method to impart crimps, in order to produce a highly stretchable woven fabric. To lower the water retention rate, it is preferable to use straight yarns to minimize spaces between yarns. It is more preferable to subject yarns to surface smoothing by a known method to reduce spaces therebetween.
  • the tearing strength of the swimsuit is preferably 8 N or more, more preferably 10 N or more, and further preferably 12 N or more according to JIS L 1096. With this configuration, it is possible to maintain a high tearing strength as a swimsuit.
  • the bursting strength of the swimsuit is preferably 200 kPa or more, more preferably 300 kPa or more, and further preferably 400 kPa or more according to JIS L 1096. With this configuration, it is possible to maintain a high bursting strength as a swimsuit.
  • the swimsuit is preferably at least one of a woven fabric or a knitted fabric.
  • swimsuits for top swimmers are made from woven fabrics
  • swimsuits for general swimmers are made from knitted fabrics.
  • the fabric for a swimsuit has a buoyancy of preferably 1.70 g or more, more preferably 1.85 g or more, and further preferably 2.00 g or more per 1 g of the fabric.
  • the swimsuit has a buoyancy of preferably 1.45 g or more, and more preferably 1.50 g or more per 1 g of the swimsuit. This is advantageous for the competitive swimmers to swim at high speed and for the general swimmers to swim comfortably.
  • the buoyancy of the swimsuit is lower than that of the fabric because the swimsuit includes areas such as sewn areas that get wet with water.
  • the elastic polyurethane yarn of the present invention is mainly composed of polyurethane. First, the polyurethane will be described.
  • the polyurethane used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as a polymer diol and a diisocyanate are used as starting materials.
  • the synthesis method is also not particularly limited.
  • the polyurethane may be a polyurethane urea composed of a polymer diol, a diisocyanate and a low-molecular-weight diamine, or a polyurethane urethane composed of a polymer diol, a diisocyanate and a low-molecular-weight diol.
  • the polyurethane may be a polyurethane urea prepared using a compound having a hydroxyl group and an amino group in the molecule as a chain extender. It is also preferred that a polyfunctional glycol having trifunctionality or higher functionality, isocyanate and the like are used within a range that does not impair the effect of the present invention.
  • polymer diol examples include polyether diol, polyester diol, and polycarbonate diol.
