It relates to the filter material used.
従来より、自動車用燃料タンクのガソリン中の異物を除去するために、該タンク内に燃料フィルターが設置されている。このような燃料フィルターに用いるフィルター材としては、ナイロンやポリエステル等の合成繊維からなる不織布が知られている(特許文献1)
また、近年、石油資源の減少や地球環境の温暖化が問題視されており、世界的規模で環境問題に対する取り組みが行われるようになってきた。このような取り組みの中で、地球温暖化を抑制するためにガソリンにバイオマス由来のエタノール(バイオエタノール)を数%〜数10%配合したバイオ燃料が使用され始めている。このようなバイオ燃料は通常のガソリンよりも極性が高いためか、従来のポリエステルやナイロン繊維素材を材料とした燃料フィルター材では劣化しやすく、フィルター寿命が短くなり、劣化した繊維が脱落して、それがエンジンルーム内に入り込むといったトラブルが生じる恐れがある。
In recent years, reductions in petroleum resources and global warming have been seen as problems, and efforts have been made to deal with environmental problems on a global scale. In such efforts, in order to suppress global warming, biofuels containing several percent to several tens of percent of ethanol derived from biomass (bioethanol) have begun to be used. Because such biofuel is more polar than ordinary gasoline, it is easy to deteriorate with the conventional fuel filter material made of polyester or nylon fiber material, the filter life is shortened, the deteriorated fiber falls off, There is a risk of troubles such as entering the engine room.
本発明の課題は、フィルター材から脱落繊維などの異物が発生しにくく、耐久性、粒子の捕集性、フィルター寿命、取扱性に優れた自動車用燃料フィルター材を提供することにある。 The subject of this invention is providing the fuel filter material for motor vehicles which was hard to generate | occur | produce foreign materials, such as a fallen fiber, from a filter material, and was excellent in durability, particle collection property, filter lifetime, and handleability.
本発明者は、上記課題に鑑み、とりわけバイオ燃料に対してフィルターとして良好に機能しうる繊維素材について鋭意検討した結果、ナイロン11を配した合成繊維を構成繊維とする不織布をフィルター材に適用することにより上記課題を達成できることを見いだし、本発明に到達したものである。 In view of the above problems, the present inventor has intensively studied a fiber material that can function well as a filter particularly for biofuel, and as a result, applies a nonwoven fabric comprising synthetic fibers with nylon 11 as a constituent fiber to the filter material. Thus, the inventors have found that the above-described problems can be achieved, and have reached the present invention.
すなわち、本発明は、繊維の横断面形状において、少なくとも繊維表面にナイロン11が配された繊維によって構成された不織布からなることを特徴とする自動車燃料フィルター材を要旨とするものである。 That is, the gist of the present invention is an automobile fuel filter material characterized in that the cross-sectional shape of the fiber is made of a non-woven fabric composed of fibers having at least a nylon 11 disposed on the fiber surface.
以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
本発明の自動車燃料フィルター材は、不織布からなるものであり、不織布は、繊維の横断面形状において、少なくとも繊維表面にナイロン11が配された繊維(以下、ナイロン11繊維ともいう。)によって構成される。 The automobile fuel filter material of the present invention is made of a non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric is constituted by a fiber (hereinafter also referred to as a nylon 11 fiber) in which nylon 11 is arranged on at least the fiber surface in the cross-sectional shape of the fiber. The
本発明に用いるナイロン11繊維は、繊維表面にナイロン11が配される。ナイロン11はヒマ(トウゴマ)の種子から抽出されたヒマシ油を元に、11−アミノウンデカン酸を生成、合成しこれを重縮合して得られるものである。本発明に用いる繊維は、再生が可能な植物を由来とするポリマー成分(ナイロン11)を繊維表面に配した繊維であり、地球環境に配慮した繊維といえる。ナイロン11中には、少量であればε−カプロラクタムやヘキサメチレンジアンモニウムアジペートなどの他のポリアミド形成単量体を共重合したものでもよく、ナイロン6やナイロン66等の他のポリアミドをブレンドしたものでもよい。なお、ナイロン11中には、効果を損なわない範囲であれば、酸化防止剤、可塑剤、難燃剤、艶消剤、無機充填剤、補強剤、耐熱剤、着色剤、顔料等の各種添加剤を含有していてもよい。 The nylon 11 fiber used in the present invention has nylon 11 disposed on the fiber surface. Nylon 11 is obtained by producing and synthesizing 11-aminoundecanoic acid based on castor oil extracted from castor (castor) seeds and polycondensing it. The fiber used in the present invention is a fiber in which a polymer component (nylon 11) derived from a plant that can be regenerated is arranged on the fiber surface, and can be said to be a fiber that takes into consideration the global environment. Nylon 11 may be copolymerized with other polyamide-forming monomers such as ε-caprolactam and hexamethylene diammonium adipate, and blended with other polyamides such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, if the amount is small. But you can. In addition, various additives such as an antioxidant, a plasticizer, a flame retardant, a matting agent, an inorganic filler, a reinforcing agent, a heat-resistant agent, a colorant, and a pigment are included in the nylon 11 as long as the effect is not impaired. May be contained.
ナイロン11繊維の繊維形態としては、ナイロン11のみを用いた単成分型の繊維であってもよいが、他の熱可塑性樹脂とナイロン11とを複合した複合型の繊維であってもよい。複合型の場合は、鞘部にナイロン11を配し、芯部に他の熱可塑性樹脂を配した芯鞘型形状のもの、最外層にナイロン11を配し、その他の層には他の熱可塑性樹脂を配した多層形状のもの等が挙げられる。芯鞘型形状や多層形状の場合、ナイロン11は、繊維表面を完全に被覆し、他の熱可塑性重合体が繊維表面に露出していない形態であることが好ましい。ナイロン11が繊維表面を完全に被覆することによって、耐バイオ燃料性の作用効果を良好に奏するためである。複合型の繊維を採用する場合、他の熱可塑性樹脂は、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂等が挙げられるが、接合面の剥離を防止する観点から相溶性の良好なポリアミド系樹脂を採用することが好ましい。ポリアミド系樹脂としては、ナイロン6やナイロン66、ナイロン12、ナイロン46等が挙げられる。具体的な複合形態の例としては、芯部に高融点のナイロン66などのポリアミド系樹脂、鞘部に融点185℃のナイロン11を配した芯鞘複合繊維が挙げられる。この芯鞘複合繊維は、鞘部が芯部に較べて融点が低いため、鞘部を熱融着成分として機能させるバインダー繊維としても良好に用いることができる。 The fiber form of the nylon 11 fiber may be a single-component fiber using only the nylon 11, but may be a composite fiber in which another thermoplastic resin and the nylon 11 are combined. In the case of the composite type, a core-sheath type in which nylon 11 is arranged in the sheath and another thermoplastic resin is arranged in the core, nylon 11 is arranged in the outermost layer, and other heat is applied in the other layers. The thing of the multilayer shape which distribute | arranged the plastic resin is mentioned. In the case of a core-sheath type shape or a multilayer shape, the nylon 11 is preferably in a form that completely covers the fiber surface and that no other thermoplastic polymer is exposed on the fiber surface. This is because when the nylon 11 completely covers the fiber surface, the effect of biofuel resistance is excellent. When adopting composite type fibers, other thermoplastic resins include polyester resins, polyolefin resins, polyamide resins, etc., but polyamide resins with good compatibility from the viewpoint of preventing peeling of the joint surface Is preferably adopted. Examples of the polyamide-based resin include nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 12, nylon 46, and the like. Specific examples of the composite form include a core-sheath composite fiber in which a polyamide resin such as nylon 66 having a high melting point is disposed in the core and nylon 11 having a melting point of 185 ° C. is disposed in the sheath. Since this sheath-core composite fiber has a lower melting point than that of the core, the core-sheath conjugate fiber can also be used favorably as a binder fiber that allows the sheath to function as a heat fusion component.
ナイロン11と複合する熱可塑性樹脂においても、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲であれば他の成分を共重合したものや、他の熱可塑性樹脂をブレンドしたものであってもよく、また各種の添加剤を含有するものであってもよい。 Also in the thermoplastic resin compounded with nylon 11, as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired, other components may be copolymerized or other thermoplastic resins may be blended. It may contain an additive.
ナイロン11繊維が複合型の繊維の場合、繊維中に占めるナイロン11の割合は、20質量%以上とすることが好ましく、30質量%以上であることがより好ましい。ナイロン11の割合を20質量%以上とすることにより、繊維表面をナイロン11にて良好に被覆することができ、耐バイオ燃料性が良好となる。 When the nylon 11 fiber is a composite type fiber, the ratio of the nylon 11 in the fiber is preferably 20% by mass or more, and more preferably 30% by mass or more. By setting the ratio of nylon 11 to 20% by mass or more, the fiber surface can be satisfactorily coated with nylon 11 and the biofuel resistance is improved.
本発明に用いるナイロン11繊維は、繊維表面にナイロン11を配しているため、屈曲回復性に優れている。屈曲回復性に優れるナイロン11繊維は、外力が負荷された場合でも、元の形状に戻ることができるので、このようなナイロン11繊維を用いた不織布は、ろ過の際に圧力がかかっても元の形状に回復することができるため、不織布がへたりにくく繊維間空隙を良好に保持することができるため、長期に亘ってフィルター性能を維持でき、フィルター寿命を長くする効果が期待できる。屈曲回復性の指標としては、JIS S 3016(1995) 5.4「毛の屈曲回復率試験」に準拠した試験値を用い、本発明に用いるナイロン11繊維は、屈曲回復率が25%以上である。屈曲回復率を求める試験方法を以下(1)〜(3)に記す。
(1)総繊度がおよそ80デシテックスに引き揃えたマルチフィラメント糸(短繊維の場合は捲縮付与、切断する前の繊維)2本を用いて交差する輪を作り、60℃の温水中に浸してフィラメント糸の断面積(mm2)当たり、2kgのおもりを3分間かける。
(2)おもりを外した後、温水から取り出し、屈曲点から3cmの位置で切断し、ろ紙で水分を取り除き、温度23±5℃、湿度40〜70%中で60分間放置後、単繊維の開き角度(θ)を測定し、それらの平均値を求める。
(3)得られた開き角度の平均値(θ)から、下記式より屈曲回復率を求める。
屈曲回復率(%)={開き角度(θ)/180}×100
The nylon 11 fiber used in the present invention has excellent bend recovery because the nylon 11 is disposed on the fiber surface. Nylon 11 fiber, which is excellent in bend recovery, can return to its original shape even when an external force is applied. Therefore, a nonwoven fabric using such a nylon 11 fiber is original even when pressure is applied during filtration. Since the non-woven fabric is difficult to sag and the inter-fiber voids can be satisfactorily retained, the filter performance can be maintained over a long period of time, and the effect of prolonging the filter life can be expected. As an index of bend recovery, the test value based on JIS S 3016 (1995) 5.4 “Hair bend recovery rate test” is used, and the nylon 11 fiber used in the present invention has a bend recovery rate of 25% or more. is there. Test methods for obtaining the flexural recovery rate are described in (1) to (3) below.
(1) Create a crossed ring using two multifilament yarns (fibers before crimping and before cutting) that have a total fineness of approximately 80 dtex and soak in hot water at 60 ° C. Apply a weight of 2 kg for 3 minutes per cross-sectional area (mm 2 ) of the filament yarn.
(2) After removing the weight, take it out from the warm water, cut it at a position 3 cm from the bending point, remove the moisture with a filter paper, leave it at a temperature of 23 ± 5 ° C. and a humidity of 40 to 70% for 60 minutes, The opening angle (θ) is measured, and the average value thereof is obtained.
(3) From the average value (θ) of the obtained opening angles, the bending recovery rate is obtained from the following formula.
Bending recovery rate (%) = {opening angle (θ) / 180} × 100
本発明のナイロン11繊維を構成するナイロン11は、モノマー量が0.35%以下であることが好ましい。モノマー量を0.35%以下とすることにより、公知の溶融紡糸、延伸条件で操業性よく得ることができる。また、得られるナイロン11繊維は、強伸度特性(タフネス)、屈曲回復性がより優れたものとなる。さらには、繊維中から溶出されるモノマー量が微量となるため好適である。 Nylon 11 constituting the nylon 11 fiber of the present invention preferably has a monomer amount of 0.35% or less. By setting the monomer amount to 0.35% or less, it can be obtained with good operability under known melt spinning and stretching conditions. Further, the obtained nylon 11 fiber is more excellent in strength and elongation properties (toughness) and bend recovery. Furthermore, the amount of monomer eluted from the fiber is very small, which is preferable.
なお、本発明においてナイロン11のモノマー量の測定は、以下の方法にて行う。すなわち、ナイロン11チップを凍結粉砕して1mm角以下になるようにし、これを0.5g分精秤し、純水10mlを添加して、60℃のウォーターバス中で2時間抽出する。0.45μmのフィルターでろ過し、GC/MS測定用試料とし、以下に示す条件でGC/MSの測定を行う。
装置:GC:アジレント 6890N、MS:アジレント 5975C
カラム:5%−ジフェニル−95%−ジメチルポリシロキサン
カラム温度:50℃、昇温測定 20℃/分
キャリアガス:ヘリウム
注入口温度:250℃、注入量1μリットル、スプリット比 10:1
検出器温度:280℃
In the present invention, the monomer amount of nylon 11 is measured by the following method. That is, nylon 11 chips are frozen and pulverized so as to be 1 mm square or less, 0.5 g of this is precisely weighed, 10 ml of pure water is added, and the mixture is extracted in a water bath at 60 ° C. for 2 hours. The sample is filtered with a 0.45 μm filter to obtain a GC / MS measurement sample, and GC / MS is measured under the following conditions.
Apparatus: GC: Agilent 6890N, MS: Agilent 5975C
Column: 5% -diphenyl-95% -dimethylpolysiloxane Column temperature: 50 ° C., temperature measurement 20 ° C./min Carrier gas: Helium
Inlet temperature: 250 ° C., injection volume 1 μl, split ratio 10: 1
Detector temperature: 280 ° C
ナイロン11のモノマー量を0.35%未満に調整する方法としては、チップとイオン交換水を向流で接触させ、浴比(チップ/イオン交換水=1/10〜1/4)、97℃で8〜16時間、抽出処理を行う方法が挙げられる。 As a method for adjusting the monomer amount of nylon 11 to less than 0.35%, the tip and ion-exchanged water are brought into contact with each other countercurrently, and the bath ratio (chip / ion-exchanged water = 1/10 to 1/4), 97 ° C. And a method of performing the extraction process for 8 to 16 hours.
ナイロン11繊維の断面形状は、単成分型、複合型ともに円形断面のみでなく、三角形、四角形等の多角形の異形断面形状であってもよい。また、中空部を有していてもよい。 The cross-sectional shape of the nylon 11 fiber is not limited to a circular cross section in both the single component type and the composite type, and may be a polygonal irregular cross-sectional shape such as a triangle or a quadrangle. Moreover, you may have a hollow part.
本発明に用いるナイロン11繊維は、強度4.0cN/dtex以上、伸度15〜55%であることが好ましい。強度が4.0cN/dtex未満であると、燃料フィルター材用途として強度が不十分なものとなる。また、伸度が15〜55%の範囲を外れると、強度や耐久性に劣るものとなりやすい。 The nylon 11 fiber used in the present invention preferably has a strength of 4.0 cN / dtex or more and an elongation of 15 to 55%. When the strength is less than 4.0 cN / dtex, the strength is insufficient for use as a fuel filter material. On the other hand, if the elongation is out of the range of 15 to 55%, the strength and durability tend to be inferior.
ナイロン11繊維の単糸繊度は0.5〜25dtexが好ましく、より好ましくは1〜15dtexである。繊度が0.5dtex未満では異物の除去性に優れるが、繊維強力が小さくなるため切断しやすく、また圧力損失が大きくなり、液体燃料がフィルター材を通過する際の抵抗が大きくなる場合がある。一方、25dtexを超えると、繊維強力が大きく、圧力損失が小さく、また液体燃料がフィルター材を通過する際の抵抗は小さくなるが、小異物の捕集効率が落ちる傾向となり、フィルター性能が不足する場合がある。 The single yarn fineness of the nylon 11 fiber is preferably 0.5 to 25 dtex, more preferably 1 to 15 dtex. If the fineness is less than 0.5 dtex, the removal of foreign matters is excellent, but the fiber strength becomes small, so that it is easy to cut, the pressure loss increases, and the resistance when the liquid fuel passes through the filter material may increase. On the other hand, if it exceeds 25 dtex, the fiber strength is large, the pressure loss is small, and the resistance when the liquid fuel passes through the filter material is small, but the collection efficiency of small foreign matters tends to decrease, and the filter performance is insufficient. There is a case.
本発明のフィルター材は、上記ナイロン11繊維によって構成される不織布からなるが、不織布としては、(1)ナイロン11繊維からなるウェブを熱エンボス装置等によって部分的に熱圧着させて一体化した不織布、(2)ナイロン11繊維(主体繊維)と、耐薬品性に優れた低融点共重合ポリアミド繊維とからなる不織布であって、低融点共重合ポリアミド繊維が溶融または軟化することによって繊維同士を熱接着してなる不織布、(3)ナイロン46、ナイロン66等の高融点ポリアミド系繊維(主体繊維)と、鞘部がナイロン11からなるナイロン11繊維(バインダー繊維)とからなる不織布であって、ナイロン11が溶融または軟化することによって繊維同士を熱接着してなる不織布などが挙げられる。また、本発明のフィルター材は、繊維の構成等が異なる不織布が複数積層されたものであってもよい。 The filter material of the present invention is composed of a nonwoven fabric composed of the above-mentioned nylon 11 fibers. As the nonwoven fabric, (1) a nonwoven fabric in which a web composed of nylon 11 fibers is partially thermocompression bonded by a hot embossing device or the like. (2) A nonwoven fabric composed of nylon 11 fibers (main fibers) and low-melting point copolymerized polyamide fibers having excellent chemical resistance, and the fibers are heated by melting or softening the low-melting point copolymerized polyamide fibers. A non-woven fabric formed by bonding; (3) a non-woven fabric comprising high-melting polyamide fibers (main fibers) such as nylon 46 and nylon 66, and nylon 11 fibers (binder fibers) having a sheath portion made of nylon 11; Nonwoven fabric formed by thermally bonding fibers together when 11 is melted or softened. Moreover, the filter material of the present invention may be a laminate of a plurality of nonwoven fabrics having different fiber configurations.
本発明における不織布は、公知の短繊維不織布の製造方法やスパンボンド法により得ることができる。例えば、短繊維不織布の製造方法としては、常法により溶融紡糸法によって得た繊維を所定の機械捲縮を付与し、また、所定の繊維長に切断して短繊維を得、これをカード法やエアレイ法でウエブを作成し、得られたウェブを積層して積層ウエブとしたあと熱エンボスや加熱エアによる熱融着加工によって繊維同士を接着した強度の強い短繊維不織布を得る。スパンボンド法により長繊維不織布を得る場合は、溶融紡糸により連続フイラメントからなるウエブを得、このウェブを熱エンボス装置に通して、部分的に熱圧着することにより長繊維不織布を得る。長繊維不織布は、連続フィラメントによって構成されるため、脱落繊維が極めて少なく、耐摩耗性に優れ、強度の高い不織布となる。 The nonwoven fabric in this invention can be obtained by the manufacturing method and the spun bond method of a well-known short fiber nonwoven fabric. For example, as a method for producing a short fiber nonwoven fabric, a fiber obtained by a melt spinning method according to a conventional method is imparted with a predetermined mechanical crimp, and is cut into a predetermined fiber length to obtain a short fiber. Then, a web is prepared by the air array method, and the obtained web is laminated to form a laminated web, and then a strong short fiber nonwoven fabric in which fibers are bonded together by heat embossing or heat fusing with heated air is obtained. When a long fiber nonwoven fabric is obtained by the spunbond method, a web composed of continuous filaments is obtained by melt spinning, and the web is passed through a hot embossing device to be partially thermocompression bonded to obtain a long fiber nonwoven fabric. Since the long-fiber nonwoven fabric is composed of continuous filaments, it has a very low dropout fiber, excellent abrasion resistance, and high strength.
本発明のフィルター材は、上記により得られた不織布を、更に熱プレス成型して所定の目付、厚み、形状に成型してフィルター材とすればよい。 The filter material of the present invention may be obtained by further hot press molding the non-woven fabric obtained as described above into a predetermined basis weight, thickness and shape to obtain a filter material.
本発明において、フィルター材の通気性は、フィルター性能の点から10cc/cm2/sec以上が好ましく、より好ましくは20〜300cc/cm2/secである。通気性が10cc/cm2/sec未満では繊維間隙が小さくなり、異物の除去性が向上するが、目詰まりし易くなり、フィルター寿命に劣る傾向がある。 In the present invention, breathable filter material is preferably at least 10cc / cm 2 / sec in terms of filter performance, and more preferably from 20~300cc / cm 2 / sec. If the air permeability is less than 10 cc / cm 2 / sec, the fiber gap becomes small and the removal of foreign matters is improved, but clogging tends to occur and the filter life tends to be inferior.
本発明のフィルター材の目付は、50〜300g/m2が好ましく、より好ましくは70〜200g/m2であり、厚みは0.1〜2.0mmが好ましく、より好ましくは0.2〜1.0mmである。目付が50g/m2未満では、構成繊維の間隙が大きくなり、フィルター性能、寿命が不足する場合がある。一方、300g/m2を超えると、構成繊維の間隙が小さくなり、フィルター性能、寿命が大きくなるが、繊維間の接合性に劣り、摩擦強度が不足し、繊維が脱落しやすい場合がある。また上記不織布の平均みかけ密度は0.1〜0.5g/cm3が好ましく、より好ましくは0.12〜0.4g/cm3である。平均みかけ密度が0.1g/cm3未満では、圧力損失が小さくなるが、フィルター性が不足し、小さい異物の除去ができないことがある。さらに繊維間隙が大きくなり、脱落繊維の発生が起こりやすくなる。一方、0.45g/cm3を超えると、繊維間隙が小さくなり、脱落繊維の発生が起こり難く、また異物の除去性に優れるが、圧力損失が大きくなる傾向がある。 The basis weight of the filter material of the present invention is preferably 50 to 300 g / m 2 , more preferably 70 to 200 g / m 2 , and the thickness is preferably 0.1 to 2.0 mm, more preferably 0.2 to 1. 0.0 mm. When the basis weight is less than 50 g / m 2 , the gap between the constituent fibers becomes large, and the filter performance and life may be insufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 300 g / m 2 , the gap between the constituent fibers becomes small and the filter performance and the life become large, but the bonding property between the fibers is inferior, the friction strength is insufficient, and the fibers are likely to fall off. The average apparent density of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 0.1 to 0.5 g / cm 3 , more preferably 0.12 to 0.4 g / cm 3 . When the average apparent density is less than 0.1 g / cm 3 , the pressure loss becomes small, but the filter property is insufficient, and the removal of small foreign matters may not be possible. Further, the fiber gap becomes larger, and the generation of dropped fibers tends to occur. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.45 g / cm 3 , the fiber gap becomes small, the occurrence of falling fibers hardly occurs, and the removal of foreign matters is excellent, but the pressure loss tends to increase.
本発明のフィルター材において、フィルター性能を向上させるため、密度の異なる不織布を積層させて、粗密構造とするとよい。例えば、平均みかけ密度0.1〜0.2g/cm3の粗構造の不織布と、平均みかけ密度0.2〜0.45g/cm3の密構造の不織布とを積層する。密度勾配を有する積層不織布の使用により、粗の構成層では比較的大きい粒子を捕集し、密の構成層では小さい粒子の捕集を行うため、フィルター寿命を長くすることができる。 In the filter material of the present invention, in order to improve the filter performance, non-woven fabrics having different densities may be laminated to form a dense structure. For example, stacking a nonwoven coarse structure of the average apparent density 0.1 to 0.2 g / cm 3, an average apparent packed structure density 0.2~0.45g / cm 3 and a non-woven fabric. By using a laminated nonwoven fabric having a density gradient, relatively large particles are collected in the coarse component layer and small particles are collected in the dense component layer, so that the filter life can be extended.
本発明の自動車用燃料フィルター材は、合成樹脂からなる補強材と一体接合して燃料フィルターとして用いるとよい。合成樹脂からなる補強材は、不織布(フィルター材)としての摩擦強度、加圧時の強度、脈動現象等による耐久性などを向上させる役割を有し、フィルターの外層部に使用される。不織布(フィルター材)と補強材とを一体接合することにより、フィルター材のフィルター性能および寿命が向上するので好ましい。上記補強材としては、モノフィラメントで構成されたメッシュ形状のもの、例えばメッシュ状織物、押出成形メッシュ状物、またはワリフなどの開口部を有し、剛性を付与でき、強度に優れたものが好適に用いられる。この場合のメッシュ開口部の間隔は0.1〜10mm、好ましくは0.3〜3mmである。間隔が0.1mm未満では耐摩擦強度、加圧時の強度、耐久性は得られるが、間隔が狭すぎて生産性が低下し、コスト高となる。一方、間隔が10mmを超えると生産性は向上するが、耐摩擦強度、加圧時の強度、耐久性が劣り、補強材としての性能が不足する。補強材の素材には、ナイロン6、ナイロン66などのポリアミド系樹脂、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレンなどのポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリスチレン系樹脂などの合成樹脂が挙げられるが、ナイロン11を用いることが好ましい。 The fuel filter material for automobiles of the present invention may be used as a fuel filter by integrally joining with a reinforcing material made of synthetic resin. The reinforcing material made of synthetic resin has a role of improving the friction strength as a nonwoven fabric (filter material), the strength at the time of pressurization, the durability due to the pulsation phenomenon, and the like, and is used for the outer layer portion of the filter. It is preferable to integrally bond the nonwoven fabric (filter material) and the reinforcing material because the filter performance and life of the filter material are improved. As the reinforcing material, a mesh-shaped material composed of monofilaments, for example, a mesh-shaped woven fabric, an extrusion-molded mesh-shaped material, or an opening portion such as a walliff, which can impart rigidity and is excellent in strength is suitable. Used. In this case, the interval between the mesh openings is 0.1 to 10 mm, preferably 0.3 to 3 mm. If the distance is less than 0.1 mm, the friction resistance, the strength at the time of pressurization, and the durability can be obtained, but the distance is too narrow, the productivity is lowered, and the cost increases. On the other hand, when the distance exceeds 10 mm, the productivity is improved, but the friction resistance, the strength at the time of pressurization, and the durability are inferior, and the performance as a reinforcing material is insufficient.

本発明の自動車用燃料フィルター材は、ナイロン11繊維によって構成される不織布からなるものであり、脱落繊維の発生が極めて少なく、耐久性、粒子の捕集性、フィルター寿命、取扱性に優れるため、自動車用燃料タンク内に取り付けて燃料ガソリン中の異物、ゴミなどの粒子を捕集性する自動車用燃料フィルターとして好適に使用することができる。 The fuel filter material for automobiles of the present invention is composed of a nonwoven fabric composed of nylon 11 fibers, and the occurrence of dropped fibers is extremely low, and is excellent in durability, particle collection, filter life, and handleability. It can be suitably used as a fuel filter for automobiles that is attached in a fuel tank for automobiles and collects particles such as foreign matters and dust in fuel gasoline.
すなわち、ナイロン11繊維は、耐屈曲回復性に優れるため、燃料ポンプの駆動および停止の繰り返しによるフィルター材の脈動現象によっても、不織布のへたりが小さく、不織布内の空隙を保持することができるため、優れたフィルター性能を長期間維持することが可能となるのである。また、繊維表面に配されたナイロン11は、ガソリン、とりわけバイオ燃料による強度劣化が少なく、不織布からの繊維脱落を効果的に防止できるため、フィルター材の劣化等による保守管理を不要とすることが期待できる。 That is, since the nylon 11 fiber is excellent in bending recovery resistance, the non-woven fabric has a small sag due to the pulsation phenomenon of the filter material due to repeated driving and stopping of the fuel pump, and can hold the voids in the non-woven fabric. This makes it possible to maintain excellent filter performance for a long period of time. Further, the nylon 11 disposed on the fiber surface is less deteriorated in strength due to gasoline, especially biofuel, and can effectively prevent the fibers from falling off the nonwoven fabric, so that maintenance management due to deterioration of the filter material or the like is not required. I can expect.
