Abstract
Description
本発明は、吸収性物品の表面シート及びそれを用いた吸収性物品に関する。 The present invention relates to a surface sheet of an absorbent article and an absorbent article using the same.
パンティライナーや生理用ナプキン等の吸収性物品の表面シートとして、レーヨン、コットンなどの親水性繊維を水流交絡した不織布（スパンレース不織布）がしばしば用いられている。このようなスパンレース不織布は、製法上、繊維がきつく締まると共に繊維間の水素結合を生じることにより、紙のようなパリパリ感が生じ易いという欠点がある。特に、単層のスパンレース不織布の場合、液を吸って濡れても表面破壊を起こさないような強度が必要とされることから、親水性繊維よりなる高坪量のウエブを形成し、そのウエブの繊維を強い水流で交絡させるため、シートが固く、ざらついた感触となり易い。 Nonwoven fabrics (spunlaced nonwoven fabrics) in which hydrophilic fibers such as rayon and cotton are hydroentangled are often used as surface sheets for absorbent articles such as panty liners and sanitary napkins. Such a spunlace nonwoven fabric has a drawback in that the fibers are tightened and a hydrogen bond between the fibers is generated due to the manufacturing method, so that a crisp feeling like paper tends to occur. In particular, in the case of a single-layer spunlace nonwoven fabric, it is necessary to have a strength that does not cause surface destruction even when wet by sucking a liquid. Therefore, a high basis weight web made of hydrophilic fibers is formed, and the web is formed. Since the fibers are entangled with a strong water flow, the sheet is hard and has a rough feel.
特許文献１には、柔軟性や滑らかさのために、溶融押出前の原料中に柔軟剤を配合して製造したスパンボンド不織布層を、吸収性物品の外面に位置させて用いることが記載されている。 Patent Document 1 describes that a spunbond nonwoven fabric layer produced by blending a softener in a raw material before melt extrusion is used on the outer surface of an absorbent article for flexibility and smoothness. ing.
しかし、繊維原料中に柔軟化剤を配合した場合には、柔軟化剤の配合により、強度の低下や柔軟化剤による変色等の問題を生じやすい。 However, when a softening agent is blended in the fiber material, the blending of the softening agent tends to cause problems such as a decrease in strength and discoloration due to the softening agent.
従って、本発明は、従来技術の前記問題点を解消し、柔軟性に優れた吸収性物品の表面シート及び肌当接面が柔軟で肌触りに優れた吸収性物品を提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide an absorbent article excellent in flexibility and having a surface sheet and a skin contact surface excellent in flexibility and having a soft touch. .
本発明は、柔軟化剤を塗布したスパンレース不織布からなる、吸収性物品の表面シートを提供するものである。
また、本発明は、着用時に着用者の肌に当接させて用いられる吸収性物品であって、着用者の肌に当接される面が、前記の吸収性物品の表面シートにより形成されている吸収性物品を提供するものである。
This invention provides the surface sheet of an absorbent article which consists of a spunlace nonwoven fabric which apply | coated the softening agent.
Further, the present invention is an absorbent article that is used while being in contact with the wearer's skin at the time of wearing, and the surface that is in contact with the wearer's skin is formed by the surface sheet of the absorbent article. An absorbent article is provided.
本発明の吸収性物品の表面シートによれば、充分な強度を有し且つ柔軟性に優れた表面シートを提供することができる。
本発明の吸収性物品によれば、肌当接面が柔軟で肌触りに優れた吸収性物品を提供することができる。
According to the surface sheet of the absorbent article of the present invention, a surface sheet having sufficient strength and excellent flexibility can be provided.
According to the absorbent article of the present invention, it is possible to provide an absorbent article having a soft skin contact surface and excellent touch.
以下本発明を、その好ましい実施形態に基づき図面を参照しながら説明する。 図１に示すパンティライナー２０は、本発明の吸収性物品の一実施形態であり、液透過性の表面シート１、液不透過性の裏面シート３０及び両シート間に介在された液保持性の吸収体４０とを具備する。そして、裏面シート３０の外面側には、粘着剤等のずれ止め剤、及び該ズレ止め剤を使用時まで被覆保護する剥離シート（何れも図示を省略）がこの順に設けられている。 The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. A panty liner 20 shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the absorbent article of the present invention, and is a liquid-permeable top sheet 1, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 30, and a liquid-retaining property interposed between both sheets. And an absorber 40. Further, on the outer surface side of the back sheet 30, there are provided an anti-slip agent such as an adhesive and a release sheet (both not shown) for covering and protecting the anti-slip agent until use.
パンティライナー２０の表面シート１は、本発明の吸収性物品の表面シートの一実施形態であり、図２に示すように、単層のスパンレース不織布１０からなり、その不織布の形態が、主として構成繊維の交絡により維持されている。 The top sheet 1 of the panty liner 20 is an embodiment of the top sheet of the absorbent article of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the top sheet 1 is composed of a single-layer spunlace nonwoven fabric 10. Maintained by fiber entanglement.
そして、スパンレース不織布１０には、柔軟化剤が塗布されている。
柔軟化剤は、スパンレース不織布１０の厚さ方向の全体に行き渡るように塗布されていても良いが、着用者の肌側に向けられる面側（以下、肌当接面側という）又は着用者の肌側に向けられる面とは反対側の面側（以下、非肌当接面側という）に塗布部分が偏在していることが好ましい。
The spunlace nonwoven fabric 10 is coated with a softening agent.
Although the softening agent may be applied so as to spread over the entire thickness direction of the spunlace nonwoven fabric 10, the surface side directed to the skin side of the wearer (hereinafter referred to as the skin contact surface side) or the wearer It is preferable that the application part is unevenly distributed on the surface side opposite to the surface directed to the skin side (hereinafter referred to as the non-skin contact surface side).
柔軟化剤を肌当接面側又は非肌当接面側の何れに偏在させた場合においても、表面シートの柔軟性を向上させることができるが、柔軟化剤が主として非肌当接面側に塗布されている場合には、柔軟化剤自身の親水性が低い場合に、肌当接面側からの液の吸い込み性の低下を防止できる。
反対に、柔軟化剤が主として肌当接面側に塗布されている場合には、肌当接面の滑らかさを向上させることができ、特に厚みのある表面シートの場合、例えば坪量が３５〜１００ｇ／ｍ2程度の場合であっても、表面の滑らかさを向上させることができるという利点がある。
Even when the softening agent is unevenly distributed on the skin contact surface side or the non-skin contact surface side, the flexibility of the surface sheet can be improved. However, the softening agent is mainly used on the non-skin contact surface side. In the case where the softening agent itself is low in hydrophilicity, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the liquid suction from the skin contact surface side.
On the contrary, when the softening agent is applied mainly to the skin contact surface side, the smoothness of the skin contact surface can be improved. In the case of a thick surface sheet, for example, the basis weight is 35. Even in the case of about ˜100 g / m 2 , there is an advantage that the smoothness of the surface can be improved.
本実施形態の表面シート１においては、図２に示すように、非肌当接面から所定の深さまでの部位Ｂに柔軟化剤が塗布されており、肌当接面側の表面近傍には、柔軟化剤が塗布されていない。尚、柔軟化剤が主として肌当接面側に塗布されている典型的な形態としては、肌当接面から所定の深さまでの部位（例えば図２中の部位Ａ）に柔軟化剤を塗布し、非肌当接面側の表面近傍には柔軟化剤が存在しない形態を挙げることができる。 In the surface sheet 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the softening agent is applied to the site B from the non-skin contact surface to a predetermined depth, and in the vicinity of the surface on the skin contact surface side. The softener is not applied. As a typical form in which the softening agent is mainly applied to the skin contact surface side, the softening agent is applied to a part (for example, part A in FIG. 2) from the skin contact surface to a predetermined depth. In addition, a form in which no softening agent is present in the vicinity of the surface on the non-skin contact surface side can be mentioned.
柔軟化剤を不織布の何れかの面側に偏在させる場合、スパンレース不織布の厚みは０．２５ｍｍ以上、特に０．３〜１．５ｍｍであることが、柔軟化剤を適度に浸透させ、且つ一部に未処理層を残すので好ましい。 When the softening agent is unevenly distributed on either side of the nonwoven fabric, the thickness of the spunlace nonwoven fabric is 0.25 mm or more, particularly 0.3 to 1.5 mm, so that the softening agent is appropriately permeated, and This is preferable because an untreated layer is left in a part.
本発明で用いる柔軟化剤は、スパンレース不織布の繊維の交絡点で、繊維同士を滑りやすくできるものであり、αオレフィンスルホン酸塩、アクリル酸塩／アクリルアミド共重合物、エステルアミド、エステルアミドの塩、パラフィンワックス等各種ワックス、各種植物オイル、各種鉱物オイル、ポリエチレングリコール、水溶性ポリエステル樹脂、シリコーンオイル、各種シリコーン誘導物等を用いることができる。 The softening agent used in the present invention can make fibers easily slip at the entanglement point of the fibers of the spunlace nonwoven fabric, and includes α-olefin sulfonate, acrylate / acrylamide copolymer, ester amide, ester amide. Various waxes such as salts and paraffin waxes, various vegetable oils, various mineral oils, polyethylene glycol, water-soluble polyester resins, silicone oils, various silicone derivatives and the like can be used.
これらのなかでも、柔軟性の向上効果に特に優れていること、及び柔軟化剤を水溶液又は水系エマルジョンとして供給でき加工性に優れていること等から、シリコーン系の柔軟剤が特に好ましい。シリコーン系の柔軟化剤としては、シリコーンオイル、ポリエーテル変性シリコーン、アミドポリエーテル変性シリコーン、アミノポリエーテル変性シリコーン、オキサゾリン変性シリコーン等を用いることができ、これらの中でも、水系分散液としての自己分散性に優れる点でポリエーテル変性シリコーン、アミドポリエーテル変性シリコーン、アミノポリエーテル変性シリコーン、オキサゾリン変性シリコーンが好ましい。柔軟化剤は、一種を単独で又は二種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。 Among these, a silicone-based softener is particularly preferable because it is particularly excellent in the effect of improving flexibility, and can be supplied as an aqueous solution or an aqueous emulsion, and has excellent processability. As silicone softeners, silicone oil, polyether-modified silicone, amide polyether-modified silicone, amino polyether-modified silicone, oxazoline-modified silicone, etc. can be used, and among these, self-dispersion as an aqueous dispersion From the viewpoint of excellent properties, polyether-modified silicone, amide polyether-modified silicone, amino polyether-modified silicone, and oxazoline-modified silicone are preferable. A softening agent can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.
本発明の表面シートは、透液性の阻害を防止しつつ柔軟性を向上させる観点から、柔軟化剤がパターン塗工されていることが好ましい。
図４は、柔軟化剤のパターン塗工の例を示す図であり、柔軟化剤の塗布部１１を斜線を付して示してある。
図４（ａ）は、柔軟化剤をドットパターンで塗工した例であり、不織布製造時の機械方向（ＭＤ）及びその直交方向（ＣＤ）の両方向おいて不連続に柔軟化剤の塗布部１１が形 成されている。尚、個々のドットの形状は、円形の他、楕円形、三角形、長方形、菱形等、任意の形状とすることができる。
The surface sheet of the present invention is preferably coated with a softening agent from the viewpoint of improving flexibility while preventing liquid permeability inhibition.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of pattern application of a softening agent, and the softening agent application portion 11 is shown with diagonal lines.
FIG. 4 (a) is an example in which the softening agent is applied in a dot pattern, and the softening agent is applied discontinuously in both the machine direction (MD) and the orthogonal direction (CD) during the production of the nonwoven fabric. 11 is formed. In addition, the shape of each dot can be an arbitrary shape such as an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, and a rhombus in addition to a circle.
図４（ｂ）は、ＭＤ方向に不連続、ＣＤ方向に連続のストライプ状のパターンで塗工した例である。図４（ｃ）は、ＭＤ方向に連続、ＣＤ方向に不連続のストライプ状のパターンで塗工した例である。ストライプの両端は、表面シートの端部まで達しても良いし達しないようにしても良い。
図４（ｄ）は、格子パターンで塗工した例であり、ＭＤ方向に延びる帯状の塗布部とＣＤ方向に延びる帯状の塗布部とが格子状に交差している。
FIG. 4B shows an example in which a stripe pattern is applied that is discontinuous in the MD direction and continuous in the CD direction. FIG. 4C shows an example in which a stripe pattern is applied which is continuous in the MD direction and discontinuous in the CD direction. Both ends of the stripe may or may not reach the end of the topsheet.
FIG. 4D is an example in which coating is performed with a lattice pattern, in which a strip-shaped coating portion extending in the MD direction and a strip-shaped coating portion extending in the CD direction intersect in a grid shape.
柔軟化剤をパターン塗工する場合、柔軟化剤の塗布部１１と非塗布部１２の面積の割合は、下記式（１）で示される塗布部面積率が20〜80％、特に30〜60％であることが、優れた透液性と高い柔軟性とを両立させる観点から好ましい。
塗布部面積率（％）＝塗布部１１の面積／表面材全面積 ×100・・・(1)
When patterning the softening agent, the ratio of the area of the application part 11 and the non-application part 12 of the softening agent is 20 to 80%, particularly 30 to 60, especially the application part area ratio represented by the following formula (1). % Is preferable from the viewpoint of achieving both excellent liquid permeability and high flexibility.
Application part area ratio (%) = area of application part 11 / total surface material area × 100 (1)
柔軟化剤が、表面シートの全面に一様のパターンでパターン塗工されていない場合、塗布部面積率を測定するためのサンプルは、吸収性物品における、着用者の排泄部に対向配置される部位から長さ50mm×幅30mmの寸法のサンプルを採取する。
尚、パターン塗工される場合、塗布された柔軟化材は、肌当接面側又は非肌当接面側に偏在していても良いが、何れかに偏在していなくとも好適に使用可能である。
When the softening agent is not coated in a uniform pattern on the entire surface of the top sheet, the sample for measuring the area ratio of the coated portion is disposed opposite the excretory portion of the wearer in the absorbent article. A sample measuring 50 mm long and 30 mm wide is taken from the site.
In the case of pattern coating, the applied softening material may be unevenly distributed on the skin contact surface side or the non-skin contact surface side, but can be suitably used even if it is not unevenly distributed on either side. It is.
また、本発明の表面シートは、透液性の阻害を防止しつつ柔軟性を向上させる観点から、柔軟化剤が不規則に塗工（非パターン塗工）されていても好ましい。
特に表面シートの両面又は片面に、柔軟化剤が高濃度で塗布された部分と該柔軟化材が低濃度で塗布された部分とが混在していることが好ましい。ここでいう「高低」とは、一方を他方と比較した高低であり、相対的なものである。
特に好ましい形態は、柔軟化剤が高濃度で塗布されている高濃度部分と、前記高濃度部分より低濃度で塗布されている低濃度部分と、柔軟化剤が殆ど塗布されていない部分とが、モザイク状に入り混じって分布しているものである。
Moreover, the surface sheet of this invention is preferable even if the softening agent is irregularly coated (non-pattern coating) from a viewpoint of improving a softness | flexibility, preventing a liquid-permeable inhibition.
In particular, it is preferable that a portion where the softening agent is applied at a high concentration and a portion where the softening agent is applied at a low concentration are mixed on both surfaces or one surface of the surface sheet. The term “high / low” used herein refers to the relative height of one compared to the other.
Particularly preferred forms include a high-concentration portion where the softening agent is applied at a high concentration, a low-concentration portion where the softening agent is applied at a lower concentration than the high-concentration portion, and a portion where the softening agent is hardly applied. It is distributed in a mosaic shape.
このように、様々な塗工濃度で、さまざまな大きさの部分がモザイク状に混在していると、柔軟な部分(塗工濃度が多い部分)の柔らかさがシート全体に及びやすく、且つ液を吸収し易い部分(柔軟剤があまり分布していない部分)が全体に分布している為、吸液と柔軟効果が両立して特に良好である。 As described above, when various sizes of parts are mixed in a mosaic pattern at various coating concentrations, the softness of the flexible portion (the portion where the coating concentration is high) easily reaches the entire sheet, and the liquid Since the portion that easily absorbs (the portion where the softening agent is not distributed so much) is distributed throughout, the liquid absorption and the softening effect are compatible and particularly good.
柔軟剤の塗工方法は、通常行われるディッピングや、グラビア塗工、フレキソ塗工など幅広く利用することが可能であるが、予め規定量の液をロールで掻き揚げて不織布に片面から転着し、絞りの工程が入らないキスコート方式が適当なムラを発生させることができ最も好ましい。この場合、ロールパターンはフラットロールで行うほうがランダムなモザイク模様を形成でき有利である。
何れの場合も、効果の本質は平面的に不均一な柔軟化剤濃度分布にあり、塗工が裏面からでも表面からでも、厚み方向に均一に塗られていても未塗工層があっても構わない。また、塗布部分は肌当接面側と非肌当接面側とで偏在していなくとも好適に使用可能である。
The softener coating method can be used widely such as dipping, gravure coating, flexo coating, etc., which are usually performed, but a predetermined amount of liquid is swollen with a roll in advance and transferred to a nonwoven fabric from one side. The kiss coating method that does not include a drawing step is most preferable because it can generate appropriate unevenness. In this case, it is more advantageous to perform a roll pattern with a flat roll because a random mosaic pattern can be formed.
In any case, the essence of the effect lies in a planar non-uniform softener concentration distribution, and there is an uncoated layer even if the coating is applied uniformly from the back surface, from the front surface, or in the thickness direction. It doesn't matter. Moreover, even if the application part is not unevenly distributed by the skin contact surface side and the non-skin contact surface side, it can be used conveniently.
柔軟化剤は、表面シート重量当たり０．０３％〜３％、特に０．１％〜０．５％塗布されていることが、感触向上を知覚するのに十分な付着量であり、且つ低コストの観点から好ましい。 It is sufficient that the softening agent is applied in an amount of 0.03% to 3%, particularly 0.1% to 0.5%, per weight of the surface sheet, so that the amount of adhesion is sufficient to perceive an improvement in touch. It is preferable from the viewpoint of cost.
柔軟化剤の塗布量は、以下のようにして測定することができる。
（１）工程管理上は、生産するスパンレース不織布の単位面積当りの重量（坪量、ｇ/ｍ2）と生産速度、用いる薬液の濃度がわかれば、単位時間当りの薬液消費量から付着量を計算する事が可能である。
（２）製品（シート）上は、適用している柔軟剤の種類がわかれば、塗布量及び塗布状態の分析が可能である。例えば、シリコーン系の柔軟剤の場合、シートのSi蛍光Ｘ線分析によって、付着量と付着状態を測定できる。あるいは適当な溶媒抽出の上ＮＭＲ分析する事によって、単位面積当りの平均付着量を決定する事ができる。
The application amount of the softening agent can be measured as follows.
(1) For process control, if the weight per unit area (basis weight, g / m 2 ) of the spunlace nonwoven fabric to be produced, the production speed, and the concentration of the chemical solution used are known, the amount of adhesion from the chemical solution consumption per unit time Can be calculated.
(2) On the product (sheet), if the type of the softening agent applied is known, the application amount and the application state can be analyzed. For example, in the case of a silicone softener, the amount and state of adhesion can be measured by Si fluorescent X-ray analysis of the sheet. Alternatively, the average amount of adhesion per unit area can be determined by performing NMR analysis after appropriate solvent extraction.
柔軟化剤の前記塗布量は、柔軟化剤がパターン塗工(不規則なモザイクパターンも含む)されている場合、平均的な塗工量は適当な溶剤抽出によるＮＭＲ分析などによる単位面積当りの平均濃度で、また付着量分布は、例えば蛍光Ｘ線分析によるＳｉ-イメージングなどによって知る事ができる。 The amount of the softening agent applied is such that when the softening agent is applied with a pattern (including an irregular mosaic pattern), the average amount applied per unit area is determined by NMR analysis using appropriate solvent extraction. The average concentration and the adhesion amount distribution can be known by, for example, Si-imaging by fluorescent X-ray analysis.
本発明の表面シートは、例えば、スパンレース不織布の製造工程において、繊維ウエブをスパンレースにより不織布化した後、柔軟化剤を塗布し、次いで乾燥することにより製造することができる。 The surface sheet of the present invention can be produced, for example, by forming a fiber web into a non-woven fabric by spun lace, applying a softening agent, and then drying in a process for producing a spun lace nonwoven fabric.
図３は、本発明に係る表面シートの製造方法及び製造装置の好ましい例を示したものであり、この方法（装置）においては、カード機により製造したコットン繊維からなる繊維ウエブ１０’に対して、サクションドラム２Ａのネット上において高圧のジェット水流Ｗを、その片面側から作用させ、次いでサクションドラム２Ｂのネット上において高圧のジェット水流Ｗを反対側の面から作用させ、これにより得られた湿潤状態の不織布１０を、ロール３，３間に挿通して圧搾することにより適当に脱水した後、その不織布１０の片面に対してロールコート方式の塗工設備により、柔軟化剤を水溶液又は水系エマルジョン４として塗布している。そして、柔軟化剤が塗布された不織布を、公知の乾燥設備６で乾燥することにより、本発明に係る表面シートが得られる。 FIG. 3 shows a preferable example of the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of the surface sheet according to the present invention. In this method (apparatus), the fiber web 10 ′ made of cotton fibers manufactured by a card machine is used. The high-pressure jet water stream W acts on the net of the suction drum 2A from one side thereof, and then the high-pressure jet water stream W acts on the net of the suction drum 2B from the opposite side. After the nonwoven fabric 10 in a state is appropriately dehydrated by being inserted between the rolls 3 and 3 and squeezed, the softening agent is either an aqueous solution or an aqueous emulsion using a roll coat type coating facility on one side of the nonwoven fabric 10. 4 is applied. And the surface sheet which concerns on this invention is obtained by drying the nonwoven fabric apply | coated with the softening agent with the well-known drying equipment 6. FIG.
図３に示す方法（装置）においては、キスコート方式の塗工設備を用いており、単一のロール５により柔軟化剤を含む水溶液又は水系エマルジョン４を、不織布１０に塗布している。本発明の表面シートは、その構成を実現し得る限り、その製造方法は何ら制限されるものではなく、例えば、キスコート方式の塗工設備に代えて、グラビアコート又はフレキソ方式等の塗工設備を用い、不織布１０の厚み方向の全体に柔軟化剤が塗工された表面シートを得ることもできる。また、塗工設備の不織布に接触させる部材（上記のロール５等）の表面に所定パターンの凹凸を付与することにより、柔軟化剤のパターン塗工を実現できる。柔軟化剤の塗工方法は、スプレー塗工等であっても良い。 In the method (apparatus) shown in FIG. 3, a kiss coat type coating facility is used, and an aqueous solution or an aqueous emulsion 4 containing a softening agent is applied to the nonwoven fabric 10 by a single roll 5. As long as the structure of the surface sheet of the present invention can be realized, the production method is not limited at all.For example, instead of a kiss coat type coating equipment, a gravure coat or flexo type coating equipment is used. It is also possible to obtain a surface sheet in which a softening agent is applied to the entire nonwoven fabric 10 in the thickness direction. Moreover, the pattern coating of a softening agent is realizable by providing the unevenness | corrugation of a predetermined pattern on the surface of said member (said roll 5 etc.) contacted with the nonwoven fabric of coating equipment. The method for applying the softening agent may be spray coating or the like.
スパンレース不織布の構成繊維としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)繊維、ポリプロピレン(PP)繊維等の疎水性の単繊維からなるステープル、PP/ポリエチレングリコール(PEG)、PET/PEG等の分割繊維、レーヨンやキュプラ等の再生セルロース繊維、シルクやコットン等の天然繊維等を挙げることができるが、本質的に親水性の繊維、特にコットン及び／又はレーヨンを主体としている場合に本発明の効果が一層顕著である。 As the constituent fibers of the spunlace nonwoven fabric, staples made of hydrophobic single fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and polypropylene (PP) fibers, split fibers such as PP / polyethylene glycol (PEG) and PET / PEG, rayon and Examples thereof include regenerated cellulose fibers such as cupra, natural fibers such as silk and cotton, etc., but the effect of the present invention is more remarkable when it is essentially composed of hydrophilic fibers, particularly cotton and / or rayon. is there.
スパンレース不織布の構成繊維が、コットン及び／又はレーヨンを主体としている場合には、該不織布の強度を向上させたり、嵩（厚み）を高めたりする目的で、疎水性の合成繊維、例えばPET繊維、PP繊維、PET／ポリエチレン(PE)複合繊維等を、少量配合させてもよい。この目的に鑑みると、疎水性の合成繊維の配合量は、構成繊維全体の重量に対して２〜２０重量％程度であることが好ましい。この場合、コットン及び／又はレーヨンの配合量は構成繊維全体の重量に対して８０〜９８重量％であることが好ましい。疎水性の合成繊維は、これを親水化処理して用いることが更に好ましい。 When the constituent fiber of the spunlace nonwoven fabric is mainly made of cotton and / or rayon, a hydrophobic synthetic fiber such as PET fiber is used for the purpose of improving the strength of the nonwoven fabric or increasing the bulk (thickness). PP fiber, PET / polyethylene (PE) composite fiber, etc. may be mixed in a small amount. In view of this object, the blending amount of the hydrophobic synthetic fiber is preferably about 2 to 20% by weight with respect to the total weight of the constituent fibers. In this case, the blending amount of cotton and / or rayon is preferably 80 to 98% by weight with respect to the total weight of the constituent fibers. More preferably, the hydrophobic synthetic fiber is used after being hydrophilized.
柔軟化された表面シートは、（吸収性物品としての構成にも依存するが、スパンレースとして単独で十分な強度のある３０g/ｍ2以上のシートの場合）そのバルクソフトネスが１．９〜２９．４cＮであることが好ましく、３．８〜１４．７cＮであることがより好ましい。特に、スパンレース不織布の構成繊維が、コットン又はレーヨンである場合、そのバルクソフトネスが２．９〜１９．６ｃＮであることが好ましく、４．９〜１４．７ｃＮであることがより好ましい。 The softened surface sheet has a bulk softness of 1.9 to (depending on the structure of the absorbent article, but a sheet of 30 g / m 2 or more having sufficient strength alone as a spunlace). 29.4 cN is preferable, and 3.8 to 14.7 cN is more preferable. In particular, when the constituent fiber of the spunlace nonwoven fabric is cotton or rayon, the bulk softness is preferably 2.9 to 19.6 cN, and more preferably 4.9 to 14.7 cN.
ここで、バルクソフトネスは、以下のようにして測定することができる。
＜バルクソフトネスの測定＞
柔軟化された表面シートから、巻きだし方向（ＭＤ方向）に１５０ｍｍ×幅方向（ＣＤ方向）に３０ｍｍの矩形状のサンプルを５枚切り出す。各サンプルを、その長さ方向が周方向となるようにして、長さ方向両端を５ｍｍ重ねて、直径４５ｍｍの円筒を作り、両端の重ねた部分の上端（円筒軸方向の上端）及び下端の２箇所をステープル〔例えばマックス（株）製No. １０−１Ｍの針〕を用いて止着して、円筒形状の測定サンプルを得る。尚、針の向きは周方向と平行とする。
得られた測定サンプル（初期サンプル幅；３０ｍｍ）を、テンシロン圧縮試験機（株式会社オリエンテック社製，「ＲＴＡ−１００」）にセットし、直径７０ｍｍ以上の円形圧縮プレートにより、円筒の軸方向（サンプルの幅方向）に、１０ｍｍ／分の圧縮速度で圧縮したときに示す最大荷重を測定する。５サンプルについて同様の測定を行い、それらの平均値をとる。
Here, the bulk softness can be measured as follows.
<Measurement of bulk softness>
Five rectangular samples of 150 mm in the unwinding direction (MD direction) × 30 mm in the width direction (CD direction) are cut out from the softened surface sheet. For each sample, the length direction is the circumferential direction, and both ends of the length direction are overlapped by 5 mm to make a cylinder with a diameter of 45 mm, and the upper end (upper end in the cylindrical axis direction) and the lower end of the overlapped portion at both ends are made. Two places are fastened using staples (for example, No. 10-1M needle manufactured by Max Co., Ltd.) to obtain a cylindrical measurement sample. The direction of the needle is parallel to the circumferential direction.
