Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、耐切創性に優れた繊維及び該繊維を含む織り編物及び該繊維を含む耐切創手袋、ベストに関するものである。
【従来の技術】
従来、天然繊維の綿や一般的な有機繊維が耐切創性素材として用いられてきた。また、それらの繊維などを編みあげた手袋が耐切創性を必要とする分野で多く用いられてきた。
【0002】
そこで耐切創性機能の付与としてアラミド繊維などの高強度繊維の紡績糸からなる編物や織物などが考案されてきた。しかしながら、毛抜けや耐久性の観点で不満があった。一方別の手段として、金属繊維を有機繊維や天然繊維と合わせて用いることにより耐切創性を向上させる試みが行われているが、金属繊維を合わせることにより、風合いが堅くなり、柔軟性が損なわれる問題点がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、優れた耐切創性を有する新規なポリエチレン繊維を開発し、該繊維を用いた耐切創性織編物及び耐切創性に優れた手袋やベストを提供する。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ね、耐切創性に優れるポリエチレン繊維、織編物、手袋及びベストを得る為に、下記の手段をとる。
1.引っ張り強度が15cN/dtex以上、及び引っ張り弾性率が500cN/dtex以上のポリエチレン繊維であり、該繊維からなる筒編物のクープテスターのインデックス値が3.0以上であることを特徴とする耐切創性に優れるポリエチレン繊維。
2.繊維状態での重量平均分子量が300,000以下、重量平均分子量と数平均分子量の比(Mw/Mn)が4.0以下であることを特徴とする上記第1記載のポリエチレン繊維。
3.上記第1に記載のポリエチレン繊維を含む織編物からなることを特徴とする耐切創性に優れるポリエチレン繊維織編物。
4.上記第1に記載のポリエチレン繊維を含むことを特徴とする耐切創性手袋。
5.上記第1に記載のポリエチレン繊維を含むことを特徴とする耐切創性ベスト。
以下本発明を詳述する
【0005】
本発明の耐切創性に優れるポリエチレン繊維の原料ポリエチレンとは、その繰り返し単位が実質的にエチレンであることを特徴とし、少量の他のモノマー例えばα−オレフィン,アクリル酸及びその誘導体,メタクリル酸及びその誘導体,ビニルシラン及びその誘導体などとの共重合体であっても良いし、これら共重合物どうし、あるいはエチレン単独ポリマーとの共重合体、さらには他のα−オレフィン等のホモポリマーとのブレンド体であってもよい。特にプロピレン,ブテンー1などのαオレフィンと共重合体を用いることで長鎖の分岐をある程度含有させることは本繊維を製造する上で、特に紡糸・延伸においての製糸上の安定を与えることとなり、より好ましい。しかしながら、長鎖分岐の量が増加しすぎると欠陥となり繊維の強度が低下する。また、繊維状態での重量平均分子量が300,000以下であり、重量平均分子量と数平均分子量の比(Mw/Mn)が4.0以下となる事が重要である。好ましくは、繊維状態での重量平均分子量が250,000以下であり、重量平均分子量と数平均分子量の比(Mw/Mn)が3.5以下となる事が重要である。さらに好ましくは、繊維状態での重量平均分子量が200,000以下であり、重量平均分子量と数平均分子量の比(Mw/Mn)が3.0以下となる事が重要である。
【0006】
繊維状態のポリエチレンの重量平均分子量が300、000を越えるような重合度のポリエチレンを原料と使用した場合では、溶融粘度が極めて高くなり、溶融成型加工が極めて困難となる。又、繊維状態の重量平均分子量と数平均分子量の比が4.0以上となると同じ重量平均分子量のポリマーを用いた場合と比較し最高延伸倍率が低く又、得られた糸の強度は低いものとなる。これは、同じ重量平均のポリエチレンで比較した場合、緩和時間の長い分子鎖が延伸を行う際に延びきる事ができずに破断が生じてしまう事と、分子量分布が広くなる事によって低分子量成分が増加するために分子末端が増加する事により強度低下が起こると推測している。また、繊維状態での分子量と分子量分布をコントロールする為に溶解・押し出し工程や紡糸工程で意図的にポリマーを劣化させても良いし、予め狭い分子量分布を持つポリエチレンを使っても良い。
【0007】
本発明の耐切創性に優れるポリエチレン繊維の推奨する製造方法においては、このようなポリエチレンを押し出し機で溶融押し出ししギアポンプにて定量的に紡糸口金を介して吐出させる。その後冷風にて該糸状を冷却し、所定の速度で引き取る。この時充分素早く引き取る事が重要である。即ち、吐出線速度と巻き取り速度の比が100以上で有ることが重要である、好ましくは150以上、さらに好ましくは200以上である。吐出線速度と巻き取り速度の比は、口金口径、単孔吐出量、溶融状態のポリマー密度、巻き取り速度から計算することが出来る。
【0008】
さらに該繊維を以下に示す様な方法で延伸することが非常に重要である。即ち該繊維を、該繊維の結晶分散温度以下の温度で延伸を行い、該繊維の結晶分散温度以上融点以下の温度でさらに延伸を行うことにより驚く程繊維の物性が向上する事を見いだした。この時さらに多段に繊維を延伸しても良い。
【0009】
本発明では、延伸に際して、1台目のゴデットロールの速度を5m/minと固定して、その他のゴデットロールの速度を変更する事により所定の延伸倍率の糸を得た。
【0010】
上記により得られたポリエチレン繊維を既知の方法で織編物にすることが可能である。本発明の織編物は、織編物を構成する原糸の主成分からなる繊維のみの場合はもちろん、他の繊維を混入することを妨げるものではなく、意匠や機能により例えば他の合成繊維や天然繊維を加えてもかまわない。同様に既知の方法で耐切創手袋及びベストを作成することが可能である。本発明の耐切創手袋及びベストは、同様に構成する原糸の主成分からなる繊維のみの場合はもちろん、他の繊維を混入することを妨げるものではなく、意匠や機能により例えば他の合成繊維や天然繊維を加えてもかまわない。
【0011】
以下に本発明における特性値に関する測定法および測定条件を説明する。
【0012】
(強度・弾性率)
本発明における強度,弾性率は、オリエンテック社製「テンシロン」を用い、試料長200mm(チャック間長さ)、伸長速度100%/分の条件で歪ー応力曲線を雰囲気温度20℃、相対湿度65%条件下で測定し、曲線の破断点での応力を強度(cN/dtex)、曲線の原点付近の最大勾配を与える接線より弾性率(cN/dtex)を計算して求めた。なお、各値は10回の測定値の平均値を使用した。
【0013】
(重量平均分子量Mw、数平均分子量Mn及びMw/Mn)
重量平均分子量Mw、数平均分子量Mn及びMw/Mnは、ゲル・パーミエーション・クロマトグラフィー(GPC)によって測定した。GPC装置としては、Waters製GPC 150C ALC/GPCを持ち、カラムとしてはSHODEX製GPC UT802.5を一本UT806Mを2本用いて測定した。測定溶媒は、o−ジクロロベンゼンを使用しカラム温度を145度した。試料濃度は1.0mg/mlとし、200マイクロリットル注入し測定した。分子量の検量線は、ユニバーサルキャリブレーション法により分子量既知のポリスチレン試料を用いて構成されている。
【0014】
(動的粘弾弾性測定)
本発明における動的粘度測定は、オリエンテック社製「レオバイブロンDDV−01FP型」を用いて行った。繊維は全体として100デニール±10デニールとなるように分繊あるいは合糸し、各単繊維ができる限り均一に配列するように配慮して、測定長(鋏金具間距離)が20mmとなるように繊維の両末端をアルミ箔で包みセルロース系接着剤で接着する。その際の糊代ろ長さは、鋏金具との固定を考慮して5mm程度とする。各試験片は、20mmの初期幅に設定された鋏金具(チャック)に糸が弛んだり捩じれたりしないように慎重に設置され、予め60℃の温度、110Hzの周波数にて数秒、予備変形を与えてから本実験を実施した。本実験では−150℃から150℃の温度範囲で約1℃/分の昇温速度において110Hzの周波数での温度分散を低温側より求めた。測定においては静的な荷重を5gfに設定し、繊維が弛まない様に試料長を自動調整させた。動的な変形の振幅は15μmに設定した。
【0015】
(吐出線速度と紡糸速度の比(ドラフト比)
ドラフト比(Ψ)は、以下の式で与えられる。
ドラフト比(Ψ)=紡糸速度(Vs)/吐出線速度(V)
【0016】
(耐切創性測定用サンプルの調整)
440dtex±40dTexの原糸を準備し、100本丸編み機で測定する繊維を編み立てた。サンプリングは、編み立ての糸跳びがない部分を選んで、7×7cm以上のサイズになるよう切断した。編目が粗いので、薬包紙をサンプルの下に1枚敷いて試験を行った。測定する部分は、丸編みの外側部分で、編目方向に対し90°になるようセットした。
【0017】
(耐切創性測定)
評価方法としては、クープテスターを用いた。この装置は、円形の刃を試料の上を走行方向と逆方向に回転しながら走らせ、試料を切断していき、切断しきると試料の裏にアルミ箔があり、円形刃とアルミが触れることにより電気が通り、カット試験が終了したことを感知する。カッターが作動している間中、装置に取り付けられているカウンターがカウントを行うので、その数値を記録する。
【0018】
この試験は、目付け約200g/mの平織りの綿布をブランクとし、試験サンプルとの切創レベルを評価する。ブランクからテストを開始し、ブランクと試験サンプルとを交互にテストを行い、試験サンプルが5回テストし、最後にブランクが6回目のテストをされた後、この1回のテストは終了する。
【0019】
ここで算出される評価値はIndexと呼ばれ、次式により算出される。
A=(サンフ゜ルテスト前の綿布のカウント値+サンフ゜ルテスト前の綿布のカウント値)/2
Index=(サンプルのカウント値+A)/A
【0020】
今回の評価に使用したカッターは、OLFA社製のロータリーカッターL型用φ45mmを用いた。材質はSKS−7タングステン鋼であり、刃厚0.3ミリ厚であった。
【0021】
また、テスト時にかかる荷重は320gにして評価を行った。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fiber excellent in cut resistance, a woven or knitted fabric containing the fiber, a cut resistant glove containing the fiber, and a vest.
[Prior art]
Conventionally, natural fiber cotton and general organic fibers have been used as cut-resistant materials. In addition, gloves made of such fibers have been widely used in fields requiring cut resistance.
[0002]
Therefore, knitted or woven fabrics made of spun yarn of high-strength fiber such as aramid fiber have been devised to impart a cut resistance function. However, there was dissatisfaction in terms of hair loss and durability. On the other hand, as another means, attempts have been made to improve cut resistance by using metal fibers in combination with organic fibers and natural fibers.However, by combining metal fibers, the texture becomes hard and flexibility is impaired. Problems.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention develops a novel polyethylene fiber having excellent cut resistance, and provides a cut-resistant woven or knitted fabric using the fiber and a glove or vest excellent in cut resistance.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been studied diligently to solve the above problems, and takes the following means in order to obtain polyethylene fibers, woven or knitted fabrics, gloves and vests having excellent cut resistance.
1. Cut resistance characterized in that the fiber is a polyethylene fiber having a tensile strength of 15 cN / dtex or more and a tensile elasticity of 500 cN / dtex or more, and an index value of a knit tester of a tubular knitted fabric comprising the fiber is 3.0 or more. Excellent polyethylene fiber.
2. 2. The polyethylene fiber according to the above item 1, wherein the weight average molecular weight in the fiber state is 300,000 or less, and the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is 4.0 or less.
3. A polyethylene fiber woven / knitted fabric having excellent cut wound resistance, comprising a woven / knitted fabric containing the polyethylene fiber according to the first aspect.
4. A cut resistant glove comprising the polyethylene fiber according to the first aspect.
5. A cut-resistant vest comprising the polyethylene fiber according to the first aspect.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The raw material polyethylene of the polyethylene fiber excellent in cut resistance according to the present invention is characterized in that its repeating unit is substantially ethylene, and a small amount of other monomers such as α-olefin, acrylic acid and its derivatives, methacrylic acid and It may be a copolymer of a derivative thereof, a vinyl silane or a derivative thereof, or a copolymer of these copolymers, a copolymer with an ethylene homopolymer, and a blend with a homopolymer such as another α-olefin. It may be a body. In particular, the use of an α-olefin such as propylene and butene-1 and a copolymer to contain a long-chain branch to a certain extent gives the fiber production stability, especially in spinning and drawing, in producing the present fiber. More preferred. However, if the amount of long-chain branching is excessively increased, a defect occurs and the strength of the fiber decreases. It is important that the weight average molecular weight in the fiber state is 300,000 or less, and that the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is 4.0 or less. Preferably, it is important that the weight average molecular weight in the fiber state is 250,000 or less, and that the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is 3.5 or less. More preferably, it is important that the weight average molecular weight in the fiber state is 200,000 or less, and that the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is 3.0 or less.
[0006]
When a polyethylene having a degree of polymerization such that the weight average molecular weight of the fibrous polyethylene exceeds 300,000 is used as a raw material, the melt viscosity becomes extremely high, and the melt molding becomes extremely difficult. Also, when the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight in the fiber state is 4.0 or more, the maximum draw ratio is lower than when a polymer having the same weight average molecular weight is used, and the strength of the obtained yarn is lower. It becomes. This is because, when compared with polyethylene of the same weight average, the molecular chains having a long relaxation time cannot be extended during stretching, causing breakage, and the low molecular weight component due to the wide molecular weight distribution. It is presumed that the strength decreases due to an increase in molecular terminals due to an increase in the molecular weight. Further, in order to control the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution in the fiber state, the polymer may be intentionally deteriorated in the dissolution / extrusion step or the spinning step, or polyethylene having a narrow molecular weight distribution may be used in advance.
[0007]
In the recommended method for producing polyethylene fibers having excellent cut resistance according to the present invention, such polyethylene is melt-extruded by an extruder and discharged quantitatively by a gear pump through a spinneret. Thereafter, the filament is cooled with cold air and is taken up at a predetermined speed. It is important to pick up quickly enough at this time. That is, it is important that the ratio between the ejection linear speed and the winding speed is 100 or more, preferably 150 or more, and more preferably 200 or more. The ratio between the discharge linear speed and the winding speed can be calculated from the die diameter, the single hole discharge amount, the polymer density in the molten state, and the winding speed.
[0008]
Further, it is very important that the fiber is drawn by the following method. That is, it has been found that the properties of the fiber are surprisingly improved by stretching the fiber at a temperature equal to or lower than the crystal dispersion temperature of the fiber and further stretching at a temperature equal to or higher than the crystal dispersion temperature of the fiber and equal to or lower than the melting point. At this time, the fiber may be drawn in multiple stages.
[0009]
In the present invention, at the time of drawing, a yarn having a predetermined draw ratio was obtained by fixing the speed of the first godet roll at 5 m / min and changing the speeds of the other godet rolls.
[0010]
The polyethylene fiber obtained as described above can be made into a woven or knitted fabric by a known method. The woven or knitted fabric of the present invention is not limited to the case where only the fiber composed mainly of the yarn constituting the woven or knitted fabric is used, but does not prevent mixing of other fibers. Fiber may be added. It is also possible to make cut resistant gloves and vests in a known manner. The cut-resistant gloves and vests of the present invention are not limited to the case where only fibers composed of the main components of the same yarn are used, and do not prevent mixing of other fibers. Or natural fibers.
[0011]
Hereinafter, measurement methods and measurement conditions relating to characteristic values in the present invention will be described.
[0012]
(Strength and elastic modulus)
The strength and elastic modulus in the present invention were measured by using Tensilon manufactured by Orientec Co. under the conditions of a sample length of 200 mm (length between chucks) and an elongation rate of 100% / min. Measured under 65% condition, the stress at the break point of the curve was determined by calculating the strength (cN / dtex) and the elastic modulus (cN / dtex) from the tangent line giving the maximum gradient near the origin of the curve. In addition, each value used the average value of 10 measured values.
[0013]
(Weight average molecular weight Mw, number average molecular weight Mn and Mw / Mn)
The weight average molecular weight Mw, number average molecular weight Mn and Mw / Mn were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). As a GPC device, GPC 150C ALC / GPC manufactured by Waters was used, and as a column, measurement was performed using two GPC UT802.5 manufactured by SHOdex and one UT806M. As a measurement solvent, o-dichlorobenzene was used, and the column temperature was 145 degrees. The sample concentration was 1.0 mg / ml, and 200 microliters were injected and measured. The calibration curve of the molecular weight is constituted by using a polystyrene sample whose molecular weight is known by the universal calibration method.
[0014]
(Dynamic viscoelasticity measurement)
The dynamic viscosity measurement in the present invention was performed using "Ryo Vibron DDV-01FP" manufactured by Orientec. The fibers are split or ligated so as to be 100 denier ± 10 denier as a whole, and the measurement length (distance between scissors metal fittings) is 20 mm in consideration of arranging each single fiber as uniformly as possible. Both ends of the fiber are wrapped in aluminum foil and adhered with a cellulosic adhesive. In this case, the length of the adhesive margin is set to about 5 mm in consideration of fixing to the scissors metal fittings. Each test piece was carefully set on a scissor fitting (chuck) set to an initial width of 20 mm so that the thread would not be loosened or twisted, and was preliminarily deformed for several seconds at a temperature of 60 ° C. and a frequency of 110 Hz. After that, this experiment was performed. In this experiment, the temperature dispersion at a frequency of 110 Hz was obtained from the lower temperature side at a temperature rise rate of about 1 ° C./min in a temperature range of −150 ° C. to 150 ° C. In the measurement, the static load was set to 5 gf, and the sample length was automatically adjusted so that the fiber did not loosen. The amplitude of the dynamic deformation was set at 15 μm.
[0015]
(Ratio of discharge linear speed to spinning speed (draft ratio)
The draft ratio (Ψ) is given by the following equation.
Draft ratio (Ψ) = spinning speed (Vs) / discharge linear speed (V)
[0016]
(Preparation of sample for cut resistance measurement)
An original yarn of 440 dtex ± 40 dTex was prepared, and a fiber to be measured by a 100-round knitting machine was knitted. Sampling was performed by selecting a knitted portion having no yarn jump and cutting it into a size of 7 × 7 cm or more. Since the stitch was coarse, the test was conducted by laying one sheet of medicine wrapping paper under the sample. The part to be measured was the outer part of the circular knitting and was set at 90 ° to the stitch direction.
[0017]
(Cut resistance measurement)
As an evaluation method, a coup tester was used. This device rotates a circular blade on the sample while rotating it in the direction opposite to the running direction, cuts the sample, and when cutting is completed, there is an aluminum foil on the back of the sample, and the circular blade touches the aluminum It senses that electricity has passed and the cut test has been completed. During the operation of the cutter, a counter attached to the device counts, and records the value.
[0018]
In this test, a plain weave cotton cloth having a basis weight of about 200 g / m 2 is used as a blank, and the cut level with the test sample is evaluated. The test is started from the blank, the blank and the test sample are alternately tested, and the test sample is tested five times, and finally, the blank is tested for the sixth time, and then this one test ends.
[0019]
The evaluation value calculated here is called Index, and is calculated by the following equation.
A = (count value of cotton cloth before sample test + count value of cotton cloth before sample test) / 2
Index = (count value of sample + A) / A
[0020]
The cutter used in this evaluation was a rotary cutter L-type φ45 mm manufactured by OLFA. The material was SKS-7 tungsten steel and the blade thickness was 0.3 mm.
[0021]
Further, the load applied at the time of the test was 320 g and the evaluation was performed.
[0022]

It was extruded from a spinneret consisting of φ0.8 mm and 390H at 290 ° C. at a single hole discharge rate of 0.5 g / min. The extruded fiber passes through a 15 cm heat insulation section, is then cooled at 20 ° C. with a quench of 0.5 m / s, and is wound up at a speed of 300 m / min. The undrawn yarn was drawn by a plurality of Nelson rolls capable of controlling the temperature. In the one-stage stretching, stretching was performed 2.8 times at 25 ° C. It was further heated to 115 ° C. and stretched 5.0 times to obtain a drawn yarn. Table 1 shows the physical properties of the obtained fiber. The obtained fibers were knitted by a circular knitting machine, and cut resistance was evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.

Using the yarns of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, gloves were produced by a known method using a knitting machine. Table 2 shows the results of the cut wound resistance evaluation. As compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 4, Examples 1 and 2 each obtained a result that the cutting resistance level was excellent.
[0029]
The fibers were divided or combined so as to have a total of 440 dtex ± 40 dtex to prepare a plain woven fabric having a weaving density of 40 fibers / 25 mm in both processes. The obtained woven fabric was cut to prepare a cut-resistant vest medium material. When a cut-resistant vest was prepared in combination with the skin material and cut resistance was evaluated, good results were obtained.
