Description

  The present invention relates to a disposable diaper such as a pants-type or a deployment-type.

  Conventionally, disposable diapers for playing with water that can be worn by wearing disposable diapers and disposable diapers with jeans-like printing that can be worn only by wearing disposable diapers are known. Since such disposable diapers are used so as to positively show the appearance of the disposable diaper, there is a need to give the printed pattern a characteristic. For example, there is a need to change a pattern during use. For example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 disclose absorbent articles such as disposable diapers in which a pattern on a top sheet is formed using a photochromic dye that causes a color change by light.

  Since the absorbent article described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 uses a photochromic dye that causes a color change by light as a design, the absorbent article described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is put on the sun. When exposed to light, the pattern using the photochromic dye changes, satisfying the need to change the pattern during use.

  In the disposable diaper of the present invention, when the disposable diaper is worn, at least one sheet material that is a constituent material of the disposable diaper that is visible from the outside is a photochromic compound or a thermochromic compound (hereinafter referred to as “photochromic compound or the like”). It is also formed using at least a part of a non-woven fabric made of fibers containing “. Here, “formed using at least a part” means that the non-woven fabric made of a fiber containing a photochromic compound or the like may be formed only (using the non-woven fabric over the entire surface). It means that it may be formed by using a part of the layers together.

A “photochromic compound” is a single chemical species that does not change the molecular weight due to the action of light, but causes a ring-closing or ring-opening reaction, and reversibly isomerizes between states with different absorption spectra. It means compounds that express various colors.
A photochromic compound is a compound that changes from colorless to colored when irradiated with light, particularly ultraviolet light, and exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. They are roughly classified into thermoreversible compounds. A photochromic compound that exhibits a color change only by the action of light is a compound that undergoes a color change in daily life only when it is first irradiated with ultraviolet light. In addition, thermoreversible photochromic compounds that exhibit color changes not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat can be used when the color change in daily life is not only when ultraviolet light is irradiated but also when ultraviolet light is excluded. It is a compound that also occurs and is repeatable.

Examples of the photochromic compound that exhibits a color change only by the action of light include compounds such as diarylethenes and fulgides (described in JP-A-2010-516375).
On the other hand, as a thermoreversible photochromic compound that exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat, HABIs (hexaarylbisimidazole), spirooxazines, spiropyrans (described in JP2010-516375), etc. Is mentioned.
As the photochromic compound, one or more selected from these can be used.
When using a photochromic compound that shows a color change only by the action of light, it is necessary to block the light so that the color does not change during manufacturing or sales. Therefore, it is preferable to use a thermoreversible photochromic compound that exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. In addition, if you use a thermoreversible photochromic compound that changes color not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat, you can enjoy the color change (appearance and disappearance) many times and simply check the ultraviolet rays. You can also

“Thermochromic compound” means a general term for compounds in which the color of a substance reversibly changes with temperature.
As the thermochromic compound, for example, a colorable organic compound described in JP-B-51-44706, a compound composed of three components of phenols and alcohols can be used.
As the thermochromic compound, one or more selected from these can be used.

The fiber containing the photochromic compound or thermochromic compound is preferably a fiber produced by mixing a photochromic compound or the like with a thermoplastic resin and spinning by melting or extruding. Specifically, it is preferably a fiber that has been melt-spun by a spunbond method, a melt blown method, a spinning blown method, or the like, and more preferably a fiber that has been melt-spun by a spunbond method.
That is, the nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a photochromic compound or the like is preferably a spunbond nonwoven fabric made of fibers melt-spun by the spunbond method. This is because a spunbonded nonwoven fabric is flexible while having a smooth surface among the nonwoven fabrics, and can suppress unevenness in weight per unit area even at a low basis weight, and thus is less likely to cause color unevenness (discoloration unevenness).

The fiber melt-spun by the spunbond method preferably has a fiber diameter of 0.5 to 10 dtex, and more preferably 1 to 4 dtex.
The spunbond nonwoven fabric composed of fibers melt-spun by the spunbond method preferably has a basis weight of 5 to 40 g / m ² , and more preferably 10 to 30 g / m ² .

  The blending amount of the photochromic compound or the like is preferably 0.001 to 5% by weight of the thermoplastic resin, from 0.01 to 3% by weight, from the viewpoint of color development, color unevenness, ultraviolet ray prevention, and change at the pee temperature. % Is more preferable.

  Examples of the thermoplastic resin include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, ethylene-propylene random copolymer resin, and the like. By increasing the amorphous part of polypropylene, it is possible to stabilize photochromic compounds and other fibers. From the viewpoint of enabling retention, an ethylene-propylene random copolymer resin is preferred. When using a resin of an ethylene-propylene random copolymer as a thermoplastic resin, from the same viewpoint, the ethylene unit is preferably 1 to 10% by weight, and 3.0 to 5.0% by weight. More preferably.

The fiber melt-spun by the spunbond method may be formed containing an inorganic powder. Thus, when inorganic powder is contained, a photochromic compound etc. can be stably hold | maintained on the surface of inorganic powder or the interface of a thermoplastic resin and inorganic powder. When an ethylene-propylene random copolymer resin is used as the thermoplastic resin, even if it contains inorganic powder, the inorganic powder has a relatively small nucleating action, so that the amorphous portion of polypropylene is damaged. It is difficult to enable more stable holding of the photochromic compound or the like on the fiber.
Examples of such inorganic powder include titanium dioxide, silica, alum, calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, talc and the like.
The blending amount of the inorganic powder is preferably 0.01 to 10% by weight of the thermoplastic resin from the viewpoint of the retention property of the photochromic compound and the like, the rigidity of the resulting fiber, and the spinnability in production. More preferably, the content is 0.05 to 2% by weight.

The fiber melt-spun by the spunbond method is one or more of terpene resin, hydrogenated terpene resin, terpene phenol resin, and aromatic modified terpene resin (hereinafter also referred to as “terpenes”). May be formed. Thus, when terpenes are contained, since compatibility with a photochromic compound etc. is favorable, it can hold | maintain stably. In addition, when using the resin of ethylene-propylene random copolymer as a thermoplastic resin, if a terpene is contained, formation of the amorphous part of a polypropylene will be made favorable and it will be more stable to fibers, such as a photochromic compound Allows retention.
The blending amount of the terpenes is preferably 0.01 to 10% by weight of the thermoplastic resin from the viewpoint of the retention of the photochromic compound and the like, the rigidity of the resulting fiber, and the spinnability in production. More preferably, it is 05 to 5% by weight.

Next, a specific use state of the disposable diaper in which a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a photochromic compound or the like is used and the graphic 8 is formed will be described with reference to the drawings.
The disposable diaper shown to Fig.14 (a) is the underpants type disposable diaper 1B with which the outer-layer body was integrated. In the diaper 1B shown in FIG. 14 (a), the outer layer sheet 61, which is a sheet material, is only a non-woven fabric made of fibers containing a thermoreversible photochromic compound that changes color not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. A plurality of floral graphics 8 are formed on the outer surface (surface on the outer layer sheet 61 side) of the inner layer sheet 62, which is a sheet material, by printing. The floral graphic 8 is formed of an ink containing a thermoreversible photochromic compound that changes color not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. In the diaper 1B shown in FIG. 14 (a), the photochromic compound used in the outer layer sheet 61 is 3,3-diphenyl-3H-naphtho [2,1-b] pyran and is used in the graphic 8. The photochromic compound that is used is 1,3,3-trimethylindolino-6′-nitrobenzopyrospirane.

  When going out with only the disposable diaper 1B shown in FIG. 14 (a), the photochromic compound of the outer layer sheet 61 reacts and the entire outer layer sheet 61 turns yellow as shown in FIG. 14 (b) by ultraviolet light. As the color changes, the photochromic compound of the inner layer sheet 62 also reacts to reveal a purple floral graphic 8. If the outer layer sheet 61 that has changed in color or the graphic 8 of the flower pattern that has emerged moves to the room with only the disposable diaper 1A worn, or the weather becomes cloudy, it will not receive ultraviolet light. As shown in FIG. 14C, the color is changed and the original state is restored. As described above, the disposable diaper 1B shown in FIG. 14 (a) satisfies the need to change the pattern and the pattern during use so that the pattern and the pattern can be visually recognized, and is only an outer layer made of a non-woven fabric made of fibers containing a photochromic compound. Since the sheet 61 is formed, it satisfies the need that even if the color changes over a wide range, color unevenness is unlikely to occur.

In the disposable diaper 1 </ b> B shown in FIG. 14 (a), it is preferable that the developed graphic 8 of the floral pattern is visible from the outside through the outer layer sheet 61 after the graphic 8 of the floral pattern of the inner layer sheet 62 is developed. From the viewpoint, the outer layer sheet 61 that is a sheet material preferably has a light transmittance of 30% or more, and more preferably 40% or more. The light transmittance is measured with a reflection / transmittance meter (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd., trade name “NDH-5000”). For measurement, A light source is used and the value of total light transmittance T _t is measured. Ten arbitrary points on the sample are measured, and the average value is used as the light transmittance value.

  The disposable diaper shown to Fig.15 (a) is the division | segmentation type tape diaper 1E from which the outer layer body isolate | separated. In the diaper 1E shown in FIG. 15A, a thermoreversible photochromic in which the outer side panel sheet 64 constituting the side panel 63 that is a sheet material exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. Character pattern graphic 8 formed on the outer surface of inner side panel sheet 65 constituting the side panel 63 which is a sheet material (surface on the side of outer side panel sheet 64), which is formed only of a nonwoven fabric made of a fiber containing a compound. Is formed by printing. The character-pattern graphic 8 is formed using ink containing a thermoreversible photochromic compound that exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. In the diaper 1A shown in FIG. 15A, the thermoreversible photochromic compound used for the outer side panel sheet 64 is 3,3-diphenyl-3H-naphtho [2,1-b] pyran. The photochromic compound used in graphic 8 is 6-methoxy-2,2-diphenyl-2H-1-benzopyran.

  When going out with only the disposable diaper 1E shown in FIG. 15 (a), the photochromic compound of the outer side panel sheet 64 reacts as shown in FIG. The entire sheet 64 changes its color to yellow, and the photochromic compound on the inner side panel sheet 65 also reacts to reveal the red character pattern graphic 8. Since the outer side panel sheet 64 whose color has been changed is formed using a thermoreversible photochromic compound, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), the outer side panel sheet 64 can be used indoors while wearing only the disposable diaper 1A. When it moves or when the weather becomes cloudy and stops receiving ultraviolet light, it changes color and returns to its original state. As described above, the disposable diaper 1A shown in FIG. 15 (a) satisfies the need to change the pattern and the pattern during use so that the pattern and the pattern can be visually recognized, and only the nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing the photochromic compound. Since the side panel sheet 64 is formed, even if the color changes in a wide range, the need for color unevenness hardly occurs.

  Any of the side panel sheets 64 and 65 on the outer surface side or the inner surface side constituting the stretchable side panel 63 may be a non-woven fabric made of a fiber containing a photochromic compound. . Moreover, an ultraviolet-ray protective effect can be improved by using the nonwoven fabric which consists of a fiber containing the photochromic compound in both sides. Further, by changing the photochromic compound used for the side panel sheets 64 and 65 on the outer surface side and the inner surface side, different color combinations are possible, and the appearance of different colors can be enjoyed with the intensity of ultraviolet rays.

  The disposable diaper shown to Fig.16 (a) is unfolded | expanded disposable diaper 1D. In the diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 (a), the non-woven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 constituting the absorbent main body 5, which is a sheet material, is a thermochromic compound in which the color of the substance changes reversibly with changes in temperature. It consists of the contained fiber. The nonwoven fabric 32 which is a sheet material is a sheet having a size extending from the outer peripheral edge of the absorbent body. The nonwoven fabric 32 of the diaper 1D is formed of a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a thermoreversible photochromic compound that changes color not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat on both sides along the longitudinal direction (Y direction). The width direction (X direction) center part pinched | interposed by this both sides is formed with the nonwoven fabric which consists of a fiber containing the thermochromic compound in which the color of a substance changes reversibly with a temperature change. In the diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 (a), the thermochromic compound used in the central portion of the nonwoven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 is composed of 3% crystal violet lactone, 32% hyroquinone, and 65% myristyl alcohol. The photochromic compound that is a mixture and is used on both sides of the nonwoven fabric 32 is 3,3-diphenyl-3H-naphtho [2,1-b] pyran.

  When going out with only the disposable diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 (a) and urinating, the thermochromic compound of the nonwoven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 reacts as shown in FIG. 16 (b) due to the temperature of the urine. Then, the central portion of the nonwoven fabric 32 in the width direction (X direction) changes color to blue, and the indicator 53 also changes color due to urine moisture. Furthermore, the photochromic compounds on both sides along the longitudinal direction (Y direction) of the nonwoven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 also react with ultraviolet light and change color to yellow. Since the non-woven fabric 32 that has changed color in this way is formed using a thermochromic compound in which the color of the substance changes reversibly with changes in temperature, as shown in FIG. When the temperature drops, the color changes and the original state is restored. Further, the indicator 53 that has changed color as described above does not change color. As described above, the disposable diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 (a) satisfies only the need to change the color during use so that the color can be visually recognized, and only the nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a thermochromic compound and a photochromic compound. Since the non-woven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 is formed, it satisfies the need that even if the color changes over a wide range, color unevenness does not easily occur.

In the disposable diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 (a), it is a sheet material from the viewpoint that it is preferable that the developed indicator 53 is visible from the outside through the nonwoven fabric 32 of the back sheet 3 after the indicator 53 is developed. The nonwoven fabric 32 has a light transmittance of preferably 30% or more, and more preferably 40% or more. The light transmittance is measured with a reflection / transmittance meter (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd., trade name “NDH-5000”). For measurement, A light source is used and the value of total light transmittance T _t is measured. Ten arbitrary points on the sample are measured, and the average value is used as the light transmittance value.

  The outer layer sheet (nonwoven fabric 32) may be formed of a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a thermochromic compound at the center in the width direction, and both sides including side flaps may be formed of other nonwoven fabrics. . In this case, the width of the central portion in the width direction is preferably 5 to 100 mm, and more preferably 10 to 50 mm. If it is less than 5 mm, the visibility is poor, which is not preferable. The central part in the width direction formed with a nonwoven fabric composed of fibers containing the thermochromic compound and both side parts formed with other nonwoven fabrics are joined together by heat sealing, adhesive, ultrasonic sealing, etc. You just have to. Moreover, the sheet | seat formed with the nonwoven fabric which consists of a fiber containing a photochromic compound like the diaper 1D shown in FIG. 16 can be used for the both sides formed with the nonwoven fabric other than that. Since the side flap portion is only a non-woven fabric, it tends to transmit ultraviolet light more than a region where a moisture permeable film containing a large amount of an absorber or calcium carbonate exists. Therefore, by using a fiber containing a photochromic compound for the nonwoven fabric forming the side flaps, the ultraviolet rays can be effectively protected because they absorb and change the color when receiving ultraviolet rays. You can also enjoy discoloration. Furthermore, it can be set as the indicator discolored at the temperature of pee by the nonwoven fabric which consists of a fiber containing the thermochromic compound of the center part.

  The disposable diaper shown to Fig.17 (a) is 1 A of disposable pants type disposable diapers. In the diaper 1A shown in FIG. 17 (a), the extended region 61L of the outer layer sheet 61, which is a sheet material, extends from the inner layer sheet 62, and heat that exhibits a color change not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. It is formed of only a nonwoven fabric made of fibers containing a reversible photochromic compound, and a plurality of floral graphics 8 are formed on the outer surface of the nonwoven fabric 32 as a sheet material by printing. The floral graphic 8 is formed of an ink containing a thermoreversible photochromic compound that changes color not only by the action of light but also by the action of heat. In the diaper 1A shown in FIG. 17A, the photochromic compound used for the nonwoven fabric constituting the extension region 61L is 1,3,3-trimethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-indolino-6 '-(1 -Piperidinyl) -spironaphthoxazine and the thermoreversible photochromic compound used in graphic 8 is 1,3,3-trimethylindolino-spironaphthoxazine.

  When going out in a state where only the disposable diaper 1A shown in FIG. 17 (a) is worn, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), the non-woven photochromic compound constituting the extension region 61L reacts with the ultraviolet light to react with the entire nonwoven fabric. As the color changes to pink, a blue floral graphic 8 emerges. Since the non-woven fabric of the extension region 61L and the raised graphic 8 are formed using a thermoreversible photochromic compound, as shown in FIG. 17 (c), only the disposable diaper 1A is worn.
