Description

本発明は、湿式および乾式不織布の接着用として好適なポリエステル系の熱接着性複合繊維に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a polyester-based heat-adhesive conjugate fiber suitable for bonding wet and dry nonwoven fabrics.

従来、ポリエステル系熱接着性複合繊維としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)等のポリアルキレンテレフタレートを芯成分とし、イソフタル酸成分やテレフタル酸成分等を構成成分とするポリエステル系重合体を鞘成分とした繊維が、樹脂バインダー等を使用せず、熱処理のみによって、成形できることから、広く使用されている。   Conventionally, as a polyester-based heat-adhesive conjugate fiber, a fiber having a polyalkylene terephthalate such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as a core component and a polyester polymer having an isophthalic acid component or a terephthalic acid component as a sheath component as a sheath component. However, it is widely used because it can be molded only by heat treatment without using a resin binder or the like.

このような不織布を基材として使用した、例えば、粘着テープのような一部の用途においては、作業性の観点から、特定の切断のための器具を使用することなく、指先でテープを容易に切断することができる、手切れ性が求められる場合がある。例えば、熱可塑性樹脂からなる配向網状体を、配向軸が交差するように積層した積層体により、手切れ性の良好な粘着テープが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。従来、手切れ性の改良に対しては、不織布やテープの構成面から提案がなされているが、材料となるシート状物を構成する熱可塑性樹脂等の機械的物性が強すぎるために手切れ性が十分に良好なシート状物が提案できていないのが現状である。   In some applications, such as adhesive tape, using such a non-woven fabric as a base material, from the viewpoint of workability, the tape can be easily made with a fingertip without using a specific cutting tool. There is a case where hand cutting ability that can be cut is required. For example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape with good hand cutting properties has been proposed by using a laminate in which oriented networks made of a thermoplastic resin are laminated so that the orientation axes cross each other (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Conventionally, improvements in hand cutting properties have been proposed from the viewpoint of the composition of nonwoven fabrics and tapes, but the mechanical properties such as the thermoplastic resin that constitutes the sheet material used as the material are too strong, so that the hand cutting occurs. At present, no sheet-like material having sufficiently good properties has been proposed.

特開2000−001654号公報JP 2000-001654 A

本発明は、かかる背景に基づき、手切れ性の良好な不織布を得るために好適なポリエステル系熱接着性複合繊維を提供することを課題とする。   Based on this background, an object of the present invention is to provide a polyester-based heat-adhesive conjugate fiber suitable for obtaining a nonwoven fabric with good hand cutting properties.

本発明者は、上記課題を解決するため鋭意検討を重ねた結果、所定の繊度のポリエステル系熱接着性複合繊維において、特定の構成を採用することで、上記課題を解決できることを見出した。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that the above problems can be solved by adopting a specific configuration in a polyester-based heat-adhesive conjugate fiber having a predetermined fineness.

すなわち本発明は、繊維軸方向に連続している繊維形成性成分と、繊維軸方向に連続している熱接着性成分とからなる複合繊維であり、前記繊維形成性成分が融点220℃以上で、固有粘度0.30〜0.55dL/gのポリアルキレンテレフタレートからなり、前記熱接着性成分が融点110〜200℃またはガラス転移温度50〜110℃の共重合ポリエステルからなり、少なくとも前記熱接着性成分が表面に露出するように前記繊維形成性成分と前記熱接着性成分が複合化された複合繊維であって、単糸繊度が0.01〜1.5dtexである複合繊維であり、そのような複合繊維により上記課題を解決することができる。   That is, the present invention is a composite fiber composed of a fiber-forming component continuous in the fiber axis direction and a heat-adhesive component continuous in the fiber axis direction, and the fiber-forming component has a melting point of 220 ° C. or higher. , Composed of polyalkylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.30 to 0.55 dL / g, wherein the thermal adhesive component is composed of a copolyester having a melting point of 110 to 200 ° C. or a glass transition temperature of 50 to 110 ° C., and at least the thermal adhesive property A composite fiber in which the fiber-forming component and the heat-adhesive component are combined such that the component is exposed on the surface, and the single fiber fineness is 0.01 to 1.5 dtex, and so on The above-mentioned problem can be solved by a simple composite fiber.

本発明の熱接着性複合繊維によれば、手切れ性の良好な不織布を提供することができる。   According to the heat-adhesive conjugate fiber of the present invention, it is possible to provide a nonwoven fabric with good hand cutting properties.

本発明の複合繊維は、繊維軸方向に連続している繊維形成性成分と、繊維軸方向に連続している熱接着性成分からなる複合繊維であり、繊維形成性成分として融点220℃以上のポリアルキレンテレフタレートを用いる。繊維形成性成分のポリエステルの融点が220℃未満になると、複合繊維を安定して製糸することが困難となるばかりでなく、熱接着処理時に熱接着性成分と同時に繊維形成性成分の少なくとも一部も溶融してしまうことがあり、熱接着処理が安定して行うことができず、操作性が低下するので好ましくない。ポリアルキレンテレフタレートの具体例としては、PET、ポリトリメチレンテレフタレート(PTT)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)が好ましく、PETまたはPBTがより好ましい。更に、その特性を損なわない範囲であれば少量の共重合成分や艶消剤、着色剤、滑剤等の添加剤を含有していてもよい。中でも、ポリエチレンテレフタレートは安価で汎用であるため、より好ましい。   The composite fiber of the present invention is a composite fiber composed of a fiber-forming component continuous in the fiber axis direction and a heat-adhesive component continuous in the fiber axis direction, and has a melting point of 220 ° C. or more as the fiber-forming component. Polyalkylene terephthalate is used. When the melting point of the polyester of the fiber-forming component is less than 220 ° C., not only is it difficult to stably produce the composite fiber, but at least a part of the fiber-forming component simultaneously with the heat-adhesive component during the heat-bonding process. May be melted, the heat bonding treatment cannot be performed stably, and the operability is lowered, which is not preferable. Specific examples of the polyalkylene terephthalate are preferably PET, polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and more preferably PET or PBT. Furthermore, a small amount of a copolymer component, an additive such as a matting agent, a coloring agent, and a lubricant may be contained as long as the characteristics are not impaired. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate is more preferable because it is inexpensive and widely used.

本発明の複合繊維の繊維形成性成分として使用するポリアルキレンテレフタレートの固有粘度は、0.30〜0.55dL/gであり、好ましくは、0.35〜0.50dL/gである。0.30dL/gより小さいと、繊維形成性成分として十分な機械強度が得られないため、複合繊維自身が脆弱となり過ぎるため、不織布として成形する工程での破断や劣化を招き、不織布を得ることが極めて困難となる。0.55dL/gより大きいと、適度な脆性を有する繊維が得られず、その結果、粘着テープに求められる所期の手切れ性良好な不織布を得ることができない。さらに、繊維形成性成分の固有粘度を上述の範囲とすることで、良好な曳糸性が得られるため、後述するような、本発明における細い繊度領域の複合繊維を得るためにも有利となる。   The intrinsic viscosity of the polyalkylene terephthalate used as the fiber-forming component of the conjugate fiber of the present invention is 0.30 to 0.55 dL / g, preferably 0.35 to 0.50 dL / g. If it is less than 0.30 dL / g, sufficient mechanical strength as a fiber-forming component cannot be obtained, and the composite fiber itself becomes too brittle, leading to breakage and deterioration in the process of forming the nonwoven fabric, thereby obtaining a nonwoven fabric. Is extremely difficult. When it is larger than 0.55 dL / g, fibers having moderate brittleness cannot be obtained, and as a result, a desired non-woven fabric with good hand cutting properties required for an adhesive tape cannot be obtained. Furthermore, by setting the intrinsic viscosity of the fiber-forming component in the above range, good spinnability can be obtained, which is advantageous for obtaining a composite fiber having a fine fineness region in the present invention as described later. .

一方、熱接着性成分となるポリエステルとしては、融点が110〜200℃またはガラス転移温度が50〜110℃の範囲の共重合ポリエステルが適用される。例えば、テレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、アジピン酸、セバシン酸、アゼライン酸、ドデカン二酸、1,4−シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸等のジカルボン酸もしくはこれらのジカルボン酸の炭素数1〜6個のジアルキルエステル、ジフェニルエステルであるジカルボン酸成分と、エチレングリコール、1,3−プロパンジオール、1,4−ブタンジオール、1,5−ペンタンジオール、1,6−ヘキサンジオール、ジエチレングリコール、1,4−シクロヘキサンジオール、1,4−シクロヘキサンジメタノール等のジオール成分のランダムまたはブロック共重合体があげられる。中でも、従来広く用いられている、イソフタル酸が共重合された共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートを主成分とすることが、繊維形成性成分であるポリアルキレンテレフタレートと複合した場合に、曳糸性が良好な複合繊維を構成することができ、粘着テープに求められる熱接着性を充足できるという観点から好ましい。更には、テレフタル酸成分、イソフタル酸成分、エチレングリコール成分およびジエチレングリコール成分から構成された共重合ポリエステルが、コスト面や取扱い性の点でより好ましい。   On the other hand, as the polyester serving as the heat-adhesive component, a copolyester having a melting point of 110 to 200 ° C. or a glass transition temperature of 50 to 110 ° C. is applied. For example, dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, dodecanedioic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, or these dicarboxylic acids having 1 to 1 carbon atoms 6 dialkyl esters, a dicarboxylic acid component which is a diphenyl ester, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, diethylene glycol, 1, Examples thereof include random or block copolymers of diol components such as 4-cyclohexanediol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Among them, a composite having good spinnability when it is combined with polyalkylene terephthalate, which is a fiber-forming component, which has been widely used in the past, which is mainly composed of copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate copolymerized with isophthalic acid. It is preferable from the viewpoint that the fiber can be formed and the thermal adhesiveness required for the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be satisfied. Furthermore, a copolymer polyester composed of a terephthalic acid component, an isophthalic acid component, an ethylene glycol component, and a diethylene glycol component is more preferable in terms of cost and handling.

熱接着性成分として、上記のようなテレフタル酸成分、イソフタル酸成分、エチレングリコール成分およびジエチレングリコール成分からなる共重合ポリエステルを使用する場合には、テレフタル酸成分とイソフタル酸成分のモル比は50:50〜90:10の範囲が適当である。共重合ポリエステルを構成する酸成分全体に対する、イソフタル酸成分の割合は、10〜50モル%であることが好ましく、より好ましくは15〜45モル%である。イソフタル酸の割合が10モル%より小さいと融点が高くなり、熱接着性が不十分となり、好ましくない。50%モルより大きいと、紡糸後の固化が遅くなり、繊維同士が膠着するため、好ましくない。一方、エチレングリコールとジエチレングリコールのモル比は、0:100〜100:0の範囲で任意に選ぶことができる。好ましくはエチレングリコールとジエチレングリコールのモル比は、60:40〜99:1の範囲である。この範囲であると曳糸性および熱接着性が共により良好である。ここで主成分とするとは、全熱接着性成分の80重量%、好ましくは90重量%が共重合ポリエステルから構成されていることを表す。このような構成を採用することによって、本発明の複合繊維は熱接着性複合繊維としての特性を有することがある。   In the case where a copolymerized polyester composed of the terephthalic acid component, isophthalic acid component, ethylene glycol component and diethylene glycol component as described above is used as the thermal adhesive component, the molar ratio of the terephthalic acid component to the isophthalic acid component is 50:50. A range of ~ 90: 10 is suitable. The ratio of the isophthalic acid component to the entire acid component constituting the copolymer polyester is preferably 10 to 50 mol%, more preferably 15 to 45 mol%. If the proportion of isophthalic acid is less than 10 mol%, the melting point becomes high and the thermal adhesiveness becomes insufficient, which is not preferable. If it is larger than 50% mol, solidification after spinning is delayed and the fibers stick together, which is not preferable. On the other hand, the molar ratio of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol can be arbitrarily selected within the range of 0: 100 to 100: 0. Preferably the molar ratio of ethylene glycol to diethylene glycol is in the range of 60:40 to 99: 1. Within this range, both the spinnability and the thermal adhesiveness are better. Here, the main component means that 80% by weight, preferably 90% by weight of the total heat-adhesive component is composed of a copolyester. By employ | adopting such a structure, the composite fiber of this invention may have the characteristic as a heat bondable composite fiber.

上記の繊維形成性成分を構成するポリマー、または、熱接着性成分を主として構成するポリマーには、必要に応じて、各種の添加剤、例えば、艶消し剤、熱安定剤、消泡剤、整色剤、難燃剤、酸化防止剤、紫外線吸収剤、蛍光増白剤、着色顔料などが含有されているようなポリマー組成物であってもよい。   For the polymer constituting the above-mentioned fiber-forming component or the polymer mainly constituting the heat-adhesive component, various additives such as a matting agent, a heat stabilizer, an antifoaming agent, a regulating agent are used as necessary. It may be a polymer composition containing a colorant, a flame retardant, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a fluorescent brightener, a color pigment, and the like.

本発明の複合繊維は、少なくとも熱接着性成分が該複合繊維の表面に露出するように複合化されている複合繊維であり、熱接着性成分と繊維形成性成分が並列型(サイドバイサイド型)に複合化されたもの、熱接着性成分を鞘成分とし繊維形成性成分を芯成分とし、両成分が同芯鞘芯型または偏芯鞘芯型に複合化されたもの、又は熱接着性成分が海成分繊維形成性成分を島成分として海島型に複合化された複合繊維を例示することができるが、なかでも複合繊維の表面全体が熱接着性成分に覆われ、紡糸がより容易に行う事ができる観点から鞘芯型に複合化させるのが特に好ましい。なお、お互いに非相溶である2種類以上のポリマー成分をブレンドして紡糸して得られた繊維は、複数種のポリマー成分の少なくとも1種が繊維軸方向に連続していない態様であり、繊維軸方向に沿って機械的強度にバラツキが生じ本発明の効果を奏さないと考えられる。   The composite fiber of the present invention is a composite fiber in which at least the heat-adhesive component is composited so as to be exposed on the surface of the composite fiber, and the heat-adhesive component and the fiber-forming component are in a parallel type (side-by-side type). A composite, a thermal adhesive component as a sheath component and a fiber-forming component as a core component, both components combined into a concentric sheath core type or an eccentric sheath core type, or a thermal adhesive component Examples of the composite fiber can be illustrated as a sea-island type compound using the sea component fiber-forming component as an island component. Among them, the entire surface of the composite fiber is covered with the heat-adhesive component, making spinning easier. It is particularly preferable to make a composite with a sheath core type from the viewpoint of being able to achieve this. The fiber obtained by blending and spinning two or more polymer components that are incompatible with each other is an embodiment in which at least one of the plurality of polymer components is not continuous in the fiber axis direction, It is considered that the mechanical strength varies along the fiber axis direction and the effect of the present invention is not achieved.

熱接着性成分の複合繊維に占める重量割合は、40〜95重量%とすることが望ましい。40重量%未満では、熱接着性成分を含まない他の繊維(主体繊維)と不織布を形成する際に、主体繊維と接着するのに十分なポリマー量がないため、該主体繊維との熱接着性が不十分となり、十分な強力の湿式不織布が得られない。また、95重量%を超えると、複合繊維の安定した溶融紡糸が困難となる。上記熱接着性成分の複合繊維に占める重量割合としては45〜90重量%の範囲が好ましく、より好ましくは50〜80重量%の範囲である。   The weight ratio of the heat-adhesive component to the composite fiber is preferably 40 to 95% by weight. If it is less than 40% by weight, there is not a sufficient amount of polymer to adhere to the main fiber when forming a non-woven fabric with other fibers (main fiber) that do not contain a heat-adhesive component. The properties become insufficient, and a sufficiently strong wet nonwoven fabric cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 95% by weight, stable melt spinning of the composite fiber becomes difficult. The weight ratio of the thermal adhesive component to the composite fiber is preferably in the range of 45 to 90% by weight, more preferably in the range of 50 to 80% by weight.

本発明における複合繊維の単糸繊度は、0.01〜1.5dtexの範囲にある必要がある。0.01dtexより小さいと、実用に耐える強度を有する不織布を得難くなる。1.5dtexより大きいと、単糸1本当たりの強力が大きくなり、手切れ性の不良となるため、好ましくない。好ましい単糸繊度は0.1〜1.0dtexである。   The single yarn fineness of the composite fiber in the present invention needs to be in the range of 0.01 to 1.5 dtex. When it is smaller than 0.01 dtex, it is difficult to obtain a nonwoven fabric having a strength that can withstand practical use. If it is larger than 1.5 dtex, the strength per single yarn is increased, resulting in poor hand cutting properties, which is not preferable. A preferable single yarn fineness is 0.1 to 1.0 dtex.

上述のように、繊維形成性成分として融点が220℃以上で0.30〜0.55dL/gの低固有粘度のポリアルキレンテレフタレートを採用し、複合繊維全体としての引張破断強度、破断伸度が高くならないように構成し、熱接着性成分に融点またはガラス転移温度が規定された共重合ポリエステルを採用し、その熱接着性成分が表面に露出するように配置することにより、繊維形成性成分の融点よりも低い温度で他の繊維等と融着できる複合繊維を構成し、更に1.5dtex以下の細繊度とすることによっても更に繊維としての破断強度の増加を抑えることができる。このような繊維は繊維としての強度伸度が高くないために、タフネスで表される([タフネス]=[破断強度]×√[破断伸度])=([破断強度]×[破断伸度]^0.5)の値が低く、不織布等の繊維構造体を形成した際に手切れ性が良好とすることができる。   As described above, a polyalkylene terephthalate having a melting point of 220 ° C. or higher and a low intrinsic viscosity of 0.30 to 0.55 dL / g is employed as the fiber-forming component, and the tensile breaking strength and breaking elongation of the composite fiber as a whole are By adopting a copolyester having a melting point or glass transition temperature defined as the heat-adhesive component and arranging it so that the heat-adhesive component is exposed on the surface, the fiber-forming component An increase in breaking strength as a fiber can be further suppressed by forming a composite fiber that can be fused with other fibers at a temperature lower than the melting point, and by setting the fineness to 1.5 dtex or less. Since such a fiber does not have a high strength elongation as a fiber, it is represented by toughness ([Toughness] = [Break strength] × √ [Break elongation]) = ([Break strength] × [Break elongation] ] 0.5) is low, and when a fiber structure such as a non-woven fabric is formed, it is possible to improve hand cutting.

本発明の熱接着性複合繊維は、たとえば、以下の方法により製造することができる。すなわち、前述した熱接着性成分および繊維形成性成分を構成するポリマーをチップ状とし、これらをそれぞれ乾燥した後、溶融して公知に複合紡糸口金に導入し、溶融複合繊維糸条として押し出し、口金下15〜100mmの位置で冷却固化し紡糸速度300〜2000m/分で巻き取り未延伸糸を得る。得られた未延伸糸を、熱接着性成分のガラス転移温度Tgとして、Tg〜Tg+30℃の温水中で、1.5〜30.0倍に延伸し、25〜130℃で定長熱処理もしくはオーバーフィード熱処理または弛緩熱処理を行って熱接着性複合繊維とすることができる。   The thermoadhesive conjugate fiber of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following method. That is, the above-mentioned polymers constituting the heat-adhesive component and the fiber-forming component are made into chips, dried, melted and introduced into a known composite spinneret, extruded as a melted composite fiber yarn, It is cooled and solidified at a position of 15 to 100 mm below to obtain an undrawn yarn wound at a spinning speed of 300 to 2000 m / min. The obtained unstretched yarn was stretched 1.5 to 30.0 times in warm water of Tg to Tg + 30 ° C. as the glass transition temperature Tg of the heat-adhesive component, and was subjected to constant length heat treatment or overheating at 25 to 130 ° C. A heat-adhesive conjugate fiber can be obtained by performing feed heat treatment or relaxation heat treatment.

上記複合繊維は、湿式不織布用として使用する場合は、その繊維長を1.0〜30mm、好ましくは2.0〜20mmとする必要がある。繊維長が1.0mmより短くなると、切断抵抗が大きくなり、繊維同士の絡みが起こり易く、繊維の品質斑が発生する。一方、繊維長が30mmを超えて長くなると、抄紙時、繊維の水中分散性が悪化するので好ましくない。また、乾式不織布用として用いる場合は、その繊維長を、30〜80mm、好ましくは、40〜70mmとする必要がある。30mmより短いと繊維の絡合性が低下し、カードに掛かり難くなり、好ましくない。80mmより長いとネップを形成し、不織布の品位を損なうため、好ましくない。   When the composite fiber is used for a wet nonwoven fabric, the fiber length needs to be 1.0 to 30 mm, preferably 2.0 to 20 mm. When the fiber length is shorter than 1.0 mm, the cutting resistance increases, the fibers tend to be entangled with each other, and fiber quality spots occur. On the other hand, if the fiber length exceeds 30 mm, it is not preferable because the dispersibility of the fiber in water deteriorates during papermaking. Moreover, when using it for dry-type nonwoven fabrics, the fiber length needs to be 30-80 mm, Preferably, it is 40-70 mm. If it is shorter than 30 mm, the entanglement of the fibers is lowered, and it is difficult to hang the card. If it is longer than 80 mm, a nep is formed, and the quality of the nonwoven fabric is impaired.
