DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The conjugate fiber of the present invention requires the use of polyalkylene terephthalate having a melting point of 220 ° C. or higher as a fiber-forming component. When the melting point of the polyester as the fiber-forming component is lower than 220 ° C., not only is it difficult to stably produce the conjugate fiber, but also the stability during the heat bonding treatment is reduced. As a specific example of the polyalkylene terephthalate, PET or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is preferable, and a small amount of a copolymer component and additives such as a matting agent, a coloring agent, and a lubricant are contained as long as the properties are not impaired. May be. Among them, polyethylene terephthalate is more preferable because it is inexpensive and widely used.

On the other hand, as the amorphous polyester serving as the heat bonding component, a polyester having a glass transition point of 50 to 100 ° C. and having no crystalline melting point is used. When the glass transition point is lower than 50 ° C., the fibers are liable to stick together at the time of stretching even in the production method described later, and it is not possible to obtain a conjugate fiber having an area shrinkage of 20% or less and excellent dimensional stability. . On the other hand, if the glass transition point exceeds 100 ° C., the heat fixation at low temperatures such as 120 to 150 ° C. deteriorates, which is not preferable.

Next, the thermoadhesive conjugate fiber of the present invention needs to have a crimp number of 3 to 40/25 mm and a crimp rate of 3 to 40%. When the number of crimps is less than 3 pieces / 25 mm or the crimp rate is less than 3%, the entanglement between short fibers is insufficient, the card passing property is deteriorated, and a high-quality fiber structure cannot be obtained. Not preferred. On the other hand, the number of crimps is 40/25
If the diameter exceeds 0.1 mm or the crimp ratio exceeds 40%, the entanglement between short fibers becomes too large, so that carding cannot be performed sufficiently with a card, and a high-quality fiber structure cannot be obtained. It is not preferable. More preferably, the number of crimps is 5 to 30 crimps / 25 mm, and the crimp rate is 5

The first point of the production method according to the present invention is to apply a polyether polyester copolymer to the surface of the composite fiber before drawing the undrawn composite fiber. is there. In this way, even if the film is stretched at a temperature higher than or equal to the glass transition point T 2 of the amorphous polyester (that is, corresponding to the softening point of the amorphous copolymerized polyester), the stretching temperature is not higher than T 2 + 30 ° C. If so, a polyester-based composite fiber having a web surface shrinkage of 20% or less can be obtained without causing inter-fiber sticking in the drawing step. Moreover, even if the polyether polyester copolymer adheres to the surface of the conjugate fiber, the thermal adhesiveness does not decrease so much, so that a fiber structure having excellent mechanical properties can be obtained.

The method for adhering the above-mentioned polyether polyester copolymer to the surface of the undrawn conjugate fiber is not particularly limited, and it can be applied by any method, but is usually applied as an aqueous emulsion solution. At that time, in addition to the emulsifier for stabilizing the emulsion solution, an antistatic agent,
Additives such as a leveling agent, a rust inhibitor, a fungicide, and an antibacterial agent may be included, and the second point in the above production method is the stretching temperature. The stretching temperature is, of course, set to T 2 (glass transition point of amorphous polyester) or more, but at the same time, in order to heat-fix the polyalkylene terephthalate, which is a fiber-forming component, the polyalkylene terephthalate is used. It is necessary to set the temperature at or above the glass transition point. Even if a polyether polyester copolymer has been previously applied to the undrawn conjugate fiber surface, if the drawing temperature is lower than one of the glass transition points of the amorphous copolymerized polyester and the polyalkylene terephthalate, A heat-adhesive conjugate fiber having excellent dimensional stability, which is the object of the present invention, cannot be obtained. Furthermore, it is important not to set the stretching temperature to a high temperature exceeding T 2 (glass transition point of amorphous polyester) + 30 ° C. If the stretching temperature exceeds T 2 + 30 ° C., the sticking of the amorphous polyester cannot be sufficiently prevented, and a fusion fiber bundle is generated or the crimper stability when crimping is applied by a press crimper is insufficient. It is not preferable because it deteriorates.
