Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moisture-absorbing polyurethane elastic fiber having excellent desorption properties, fit properties, appearance quality, feeling of wearing, moisture absorption / release properties, antistatic properties and the like, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Polyurethane elastic fibers are widely used in legwear such as stockings, innerwear, and sportswear because of their excellent elasticity. In order to further improve the elasticity function of the wear, the content of the polyurethane elastic fiber in the fabric is further increased.

[0003] By using a stocking or innerwear having a high mixing ratio of polyurethane elastic fiber, its elasticity, wearing feeling, and the like can be made better than conventional ones.

[0004] The same applies to other uses other than stockings and innerwear. However, when the mixing ratio of polyurethane elastic fibers is increased, these polyurethane elastic fibers have extremely low moisture absorption / release properties compared to mixed hard yarns, for example, polyamide fibers and natural fibers. When used in a field where the skin is directly touched or worn close to the skin, sweating from the skin tends to cause stuffiness, stickiness, etc., and the comfort tends to be reduced.

[0005] To solve this problem, several means have been tried, from raw yarn to high-order processing. As a solution, there is a method in which a magnesium salt is compounded into polyurethane as a compound for enhancing moisture absorption / desorption as a means from the yarn side.
No. 2,714,432.

Further, a method of blending a polyurethane using polyethylene glycol as a raw material is disclosed in JP-A-2000-144.
No. 532. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-41204 discloses a method using a specific polyamide fiber having a high moisture absorption / release property as a hard yarn mixed with a polyurethane elastic fiber as a means from a higher processing surface.

However, these methods have insufficient effects to solve the above-mentioned objects, and in particular, have failed to impart sufficient moisture absorption / release properties to polyurethane elastic fibers.

[0008] Also, when a hard yarn having a high moisture absorption / release property is used in the high-order processing stage, there are problems such as an increase in cost and difficulty in coping with all uses.

[0009]

When the moisture-absorbing polyurethane elastic fiber of the present invention is used for clothes, the feeling of wearing, desorption, fitting, moisture absorption / desorption, appearance quality, antistatic property of the obtained clothes and the like are obtained. Etc. can be made excellent.

The present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples. However, the present invention is not limited by these examples.

The method of quantifying stress relaxation, strength, elongation, residual strain, and moisture absorption / desorption in the present invention will be described. [Stress relaxation, strength, elongation, residual strain] Stress relaxation, strength,
For elongation and residual strain, use polyurethane yarn with Instron 45.
It was obtained by performing a tensile test using a 02 type tensile tester.

The stress relaxation, strength and elongation were measured at 22 ° C., and the residual strain was measured at −5 ° C.

These are defined below.

A 5 cm (L1) sample was subjected to 300% elongation five times at a pulling speed of 50 cm / min. The stress at this time was defined as (G1).

Next, the length was held for 30 seconds. The stress after holding for 30 seconds was defined as (G2).

The sample length when the stress is set to 0 is (L
2).

Further, the polyurethane yarn was stretched until the polyurethane yarn was cut.

The stress at break was (G3), and the sample length at break was (L3).

Hereinafter, the above characteristics were obtained by the following equation.

Strength = (G3) Stress relaxation (%) = 100 × ((G1) − (G2)) /
(G1) Residual strain (%) = 100 × ((L2) − (L1)) /
(L1) Elongation (%) = 100 × ((L3) − (L1)) / (L
1) [Hygroscopicity] Moisture absorption / desorption coefficient ΔM as an index indicating hygroscopicity
R was adopted.

The moisture absorption / desorption coefficient ΔMR is as follows: when the sample is a yarn, a knitted fabric of about 1 g obtained by knitting the yarn is used, and when the sample is an additive of a hygroscopic component, it is 0.125 μm. Approximately 1 g of film cast from a DMAc solution was used. From the weight change between the weight of about 1 g of the sample at the time of absolute drying and the weight after being left in a thermo-hygrostat for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 20 ° C. × 65% RH or 30 ° C. × 90% RH, it was obtained by the following equation. .

Moisture absorption (%) = [(weight after moisture absorption−weight when absolutely dry) / weight when absolutely dry] × 100 20 ° C. × 65% RH and 30 ° C. × 90% measured above.
From the moisture absorption rate under the condition of RH (referred to as MR1 and MR2, respectively), the moisture absorption / desorption coefficient ΔMR (%) = MR2-MR1
Was calculated.

The moisture absorption / desorption coefficient ΔMR when the sample is a yarn is a driving force for obtaining comfort by releasing moisture in the clothes to the outside air when the clothes are worn, and includes light to medium work or light to medium exercise. ℃ 90% RH at the time of performing
Is the difference between the moisture absorption rate between the temperature inside the clothes represented by the formula (1) and the outside temperature and humidity represented by the temperature of 20 ° C. × 65% RH. The larger the ΔMR, the higher the hygroscopicity and the better the comfort when worn.
