Description

  The present invention relates to a fiber wallpaper obtained by bonding a synthetic fiber fabric to a backing paper.

Flame retardant paper with pulp as the main component and added with antimony trioxide, phosphorus-containing nitrogen compound, guanidine compound, tetrabromobisphenol A, bromophenol derivative, lignin derivative, ammonium bromide, dicyandiaside, aluminum hydroxide, etc. It is known as a backing paper (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). As the flame-retardant paper for backing paper, papermaking paper containing 5 to 30 parts by weight of cellulose fibers, 1 to 10 parts by weight of inorganic fibers, 50 to 95 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide, and 2 to 10 parts by weight of an organic binder are also included. It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 3). The flame retardant paper for wallpaper and backing paper is evaluated for flame retardancy according to the judgment criteria in the flame retardancy test specified in JIS-A-1321 in accordance with Ministry of Construction Notification Nos. 1372 and 1828. It is displayed as a non-combustible material, a semi-incombustible material, or a flame-retardant paper according to the flame performance (for example, see Patent Documents 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).
JP 60-239598 A (Japanese Patent Publication No. 04-50438) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-243337 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 06-00394) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-06200 (Patent No. 2754386) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-233826 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 05-02500) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 05-200948 (Patent No. 2586368, paragraph 0024) JP 09-031860 (paragraph 0028) JP-A-11-001900 (paragraph 0018)

The evaluation of the flame retardancy of a fabric product is made by various test methods depending on the application. For example, for automobile interior fabrics, the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard MVSS-302 (see, for example, Patent Documents 8, 9, and 10). The mesh sheet for construction work is according to JIS-L-1091 (see, for example, Patent Document 11), and the fabric for a railway vehicle seat sheet is measured by the Ministry of Transport Railway Vehicle Material Combustion Test A-4 standard alcohol flame method (for example, Regarding the fabric for aircraft seats, it is performed according to the Federal Aviation Administration standard FAA kerosene burner test FAR25853C (for example, see Patent Literatures 13 and 14). Thus, even if the specifications of the fabric are the same, the flame retardant performance of the fabric product is evaluated by various test methods defined according to the application. This is because the way of ignition / smoke and the way of combustion differ. This means that even if a fabric product is evaluated as having a flame retardant performance in one test method (pass), the same fabric product is not necessarily evaluated as a pass in another test method. To do.
JP 07-003658 A (Patent No. 3251388, paragraph 0013) No. 03-14347 Japanese Patent Publication No. 05-29705 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-172806 (Japanese Patent No. 3249940, paragraph 0043) JP 09-250052 (Patent No. 3089418, paragraph 0042) JP 62-090349 A (Japanese Patent Publication No. 03-45130) JP 62-090350 A (Japanese Patent Publication No. 03-45131)

As described above, the flame retardant performance of the textile wallpaper has been based on JIS-A-1321. However, after June 1, 2000 (established date), the Building Standard Act No. 2 The total calorific value, the presence or absence of deformation such as cracks, the maximum heat generation rate, and the mouse measured in the test method in accordance with Article 9 and Article 68-2, Paragraph 1 (hereinafter referred to as the Building Standard Act Combustion Test Method) It was to be evaluated by behavior stoppage time (gas hazard test).
In other words, in the building standard method combustion test method, the test result is
(1) The total calorific value for 20 minutes after the start of heating is 8 MJ / m ² or less,
(2) There was no deformation such as through cracks and holes in the test specimen for 20 minutes after the start of heating.
(3) The maximum heat generation rate exceeding 200 kW / m ² for 20 minutes after the start of heating does not continue for 10 seconds or more,
(4) When the average action stop time until the mouse stops the action after the start of heating is 6.8 minutes or more, the fiber wallpaper as the test specimen is evaluated as a “noncombustible material”.
The test result is
(1) The total calorific value for 10 minutes after the start of heating is 8 MJ / m ² or less,
(2) There was no deformation such as through cracks and holes in the test specimen for 10 minutes after the start of heating.
(3) The maximum heat generation rate exceeding 200 kw / m ² for 10 minutes after the start of heating does not continue for 10 seconds or more,
(4) When the average behavior stop time until the mouse stops the behavior after the start of heating is 6.8 minutes or more, the fiber wallpaper as the test specimen is evaluated as a “quasi-incombustible material”.
The test result is
(1) The total calorific value for 5 minutes after the start of heating is 8 MJ / m ² or less,
(2) There was no deformation such as through cracks / holes in the specimen for 5 minutes after the start of heating.
(3) If the maximum heat generation rate exceeding 200 kw / m ² for 5 minutes after the start of heating does not continue for 10 seconds or more, the fiber wallpaper as the test specimen is evaluated as a “flame retardant material”.

As described above, in the building standard method combustion test method, the total calorific value, the maximum heat generation rate duration and the combustion gas toxicity, which were not considered as the evaluation requirements in the conventional test method JIS-A-1321, were evaluated. Requirement.
For this reason, the building standard method combustion test method is a very severe test for a synthetic fiber wallpaper whose surface is composed of polyester fiber and polypropylene fiber, which are petroleum products and combustible materials.
In particular, since the hazard of combustion gas is defined as a requirement for evaluation, simply adding a flame retardant and making the synthetic fiber flame retardant will not be evaluated as a “non-combustible material” or “quasi-incombustible material”. When the amount of the flame retardant used is increased to make the synthetic fiber flame-retardant, the amount of harmful gas generated is often increased.
In addition, the test equipment required for the building standard method combustion test method is extremely expensive, and the combustion gas hazard test requires expertise in handling mice, so the test is a public test with the test equipment. In spite of having to rely on a testing institution and the cost of the test being expensive, it is extremely difficult to make a synthetic fiber wallpaper flame-retardant.

  In order to suppress the total calorific value at the time of the combustion test, the present invention reduces the basis weight (mass) of the fabric serving as a fire source as much as possible and covers the backing paper with the less basis weight. In order to ensure the concealability of the fabric necessary for this purpose, the weave density of either one of the warp and weft of the fabric is made fine, the total fineness (thickness) of the warp and weft and the fineness of the fibers constituting the weft The fabric is made as if it is a thin film, and the fabric is made to adhere to the backing paper as much as possible to suppress the maximum heat generation rate during the combustion test, making it difficult to make the fabric flame-retardant. The amount of the flame retardant used is small, and therefore the flame retardant fiber wallpaper (hereinafter simply referred to as flame retardant fiber wallpaper) conforming to the “incombustible material” and “quasi-incombustible material” by the building standard method combustion test method. ).

The fiber wallpaper according to the present invention is (a) a fiber wallpaper in which a fabric is bonded to a backing paper, (b) the fabric is a woven fabric composed of polyester fibers having a single fiber fineness of less than 3 dtex, and (c) the warp and The total fineness of the weft is less than 280 dtex, (d) the cover factor of one of the warp and weft is 1300 or more, and (e) the cover factor of both the warp and weft is (F) The cover factor by warp and the total cover factor by weft are 2000 to 4000, (g)
The fabric basis weight (mass) is 220 g / m ² or less, (h) the fabric contains a halogenated flame retardant having a content of 10 g / m ² or less, and (i) the backing paper contains 10 g / It is a flame-retardant pulp papermaking with a basis weight of 100 g / m ² or less, containing (m ²⁾ or less, (j) a fabric and backing paper bonded together with an ethylene vinyl acetate resin adhesive, and (k) specified by the Building Standards Act In the combustion test, the first characteristic is that it has a flame-retardant performance evaluated as a non-combustible material or a semi-incombustible material.

  The second feature of the fiber wallpaper according to the present invention is that, in addition to the first feature, the warp density and the weft density are 27 yarns / cm or more, and either the warp density or the weft density is The number is 55 / cm or more.

  The third feature of the fiber wallpaper according to the present invention is that the halogen-based flame retardant is mainly composed of hexabromocyclododecane and trialkylphenyl phosphide in addition to the first and second features. In addition, the phosphorus-based flame retardant is mainly composed of a phosphorus-containing nitrogen-containing compound.

The fourth feature of the fiber wallpaper according to the present invention is that, in addition to any of the first, second, and third features, the solid content coating amount of the ethylene vinyl acetate resin adhesive is 25 g / m ² or less. In that point.

According to this invention, the polyester fiber wallpaper which has the flame retardance performance evaluated as a nonflammable material or a semi-incombustible material in the combustion test prescribed | regulated to a building standard law is obtained. The reason is considered as follows.
That is, since the basis weight of the fabric that becomes the fire source in the combustion test is 220 g / m ² or less, the total calorific value can be kept low, and the amount of flame retardant used for the flame retardancy can be reduced. The amount of harmful combustion gas generated due to the flame retardant can be reduced.
When the single fiber fineness of the fibers constituting the fabric is made extremely fine as less than 3 dtex, even if the cover factor is the same, the yarn expands bulky, so even a fabric with a low basis weight having a basis weight of 220 g / m ² or less. High concealment for the backing paper is ensured.
When the total fineness of the warp and the weft is 280 dtex or less and either the warp density or the weft density is made dense so that the total cover factor of the fabric with the warp and weft is 2000 to 4000, the thickness is 100 to The fabric can be formed into a thin film corresponding to a plus film of about 300 μm, the fabric adheres to the backing paper as if the plus film was laminated, and the flame retardant function of the phosphorus flame retardant contained in the backing paper The flame retardant function of the halogen-based flame retardant contained in the fabric can be easily complemented with each other, and the maximum heat generation rate is suppressed by the backing paper carbonized during the combustion test.
The ethylene vinyl acetate resin-based adhesive interposed between the fabric and the backing paper is a kind of polyolefin resin and does not generate particularly harmful combustion gas.

As described above, the object of the present invention can be achieved by reducing the fabric weight and the flame retardant content as much as possible, and by reducing the fineness of the fibers constituting the fabric and the total fineness of the yarns. . Thus, the basis weight of the fabric 200 g / m ² or less, preferably a 80~170g / m ^2, the amount of halogen flame retardant containing the fabric to 5 g / m ² or less, generally 1-3 weight basis weight of the fabric %.
In order to make the fabric into a thin film like a plus film, the single fiber fineness of the fibers constituting the warp and the weft is 2 dtex or less, the total fineness of the warp and the weft is 200 dtex or less, respectively, and the warp density and The total fineness of one of the weft yarns having a high density is 100 dtex or less, and the weaving density of one of the yarns is set so that the cover factor of the one yarn having the high density is 1200 or more ( Set warp density and weft density).
The warp density and the weft density are generally 27 yarns / cm or more, and either the warp density or the weft density is preferably 55 yarns / cm or more.
In order to keep the total calorific value low during the combustion test, it is preferable that the weight of the backing paper is 80 g / m ² or less.

Cover factor (K _O ) by yarn (warp and weft) is the number of yarns per unit size (2.54 cm = 1 吋) of fabric (N _O ; warp density and weft density (lines / cm) × 2 .54) and the square root of the total fineness (D _O × 0.9) of the yarn (K _O = 2.54 × N _O × (D _O × 0.9) ^1/2 ) The Therefore, the total cover factor (K) of the woven fabric by warp and weft is the sum of the cover factor (K _w ) by warp and the cover factor (K _f ) by weft (K = K _w + K _f = 2.54 × N _w × (D _w × 0.9) ^1/2 + 2.54 × N _f × (D _f × 0.9) ^1/2 ).
Here, N _w is the warp density (the / cm), D _w is the total fineness of the warp (dtex), N is the weft density (the / cm), the D _f means the total fineness of the weft (dtex).

  As the polyester fibers, any of polyethylene terephthalate fibers, polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers, polybutylene terephthalate fibers, and polylactic acid fibers can be used.

Three types of polyester fiber fabrics (Examples 1, 2, 3) and three types of polyester fiber fabrics (Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3) having the specifications shown in [Table 1] were woven, and hexabromocyclododecane 45 was used. A halogen-based flame retardant prepared as an aqueous solution containing 10% by mass and 8.7% by mass of a trialkylphenyl phosphate is added to a fabric basis weight of 2.5% by mass, and a phosphorus-containing nitrogen-containing compound of 26 to 28% by mass and a nitrogen-containing compound 3 an aqueous solution containing 5% by weight (manufactured by Dainippon Ink & Chemicals, Inc. flame retardants: frame guard FG-30) to 8 g / m ² containing for basis weight 80 g / m ² of the flame燃裏hitting paper (Co. Goka papermaking plant made: the KU base paper), resin content 54 to 58 wt% content of the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin emulsion composition (LTD Toupe product: XB-3011) to set to a solid content coating amount 20 g / m ² coating The flame retardant performance of the polyester fiber wallpaper obtained by teeth stuck was evaluated according to the Building Standards Law combustion test method.
[Table 1] shows the evaluation results corresponding to the specifications of the warp and weft and the specification of the fabric.
In addition, about the polyester fiber wallpaper of the comparative examples 1, 2, and 3, since it became a result evaluated as a non-combustible material in the building standard method combustion test method, the gas toxicity test (mouse average action stop time) And quasi-incombustible material combustion test is not conducted.
In [Table 1], the ● mark indicates a numerical value that is not specified in the present invention or the Building Standard Act burning test method, and the ☆ mark indicates a numerical value for which judgment is suspended.
