The inventors of the present invention conducted repeated studies to improve the sweat-treating properties and lightness of a stretchable and breathable knitted fabric during heavy perspiration. As a result, the knitted fabric contains one or more fiber yarns (I) and hydrophilic fiber yarns (II) selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns, and the gap amount between the fiber yarns and the knitting It was found that by setting the saturated water retention capacity of the fabric to a predetermined value, sweat can be quickly treated when a large amount of sweat is generated, and the sweat-absorbing property is excellent.
Since the knitted fabric for clothing is excellent in sweat treatment properties, the feeling of stickiness and wetness on the skin surface is reduced even when a large amount of perspiration is applied when wearing clothing using the knitted fabric for clothing. In addition, because the knitted fabric for clothing is excellent in lightness, when wearing clothing using the knitted fabric for clothing, even if a large amount of sweat is produced, the increase in weight due to sweat in the clothing is suppressed, and deterioration in exercise performance and discomfort are prevented. mitigated.

Fiber thread (I) is one or more fiber threads selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber threads and water-repellent fiber threads. By including one or more fiber yarns (I) selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns in the knitted fabric for clothing, moisture on the surface of the knitted fabric can be easily transferred. As the fibrous yarn (I), spun yarn, multifilament yarn, crimped yarn obtained by processing multifilament yarn, and the like can be used. Hydrophobic fiber yarns include, for example, fiber yarns composed of hydrophobic fibers such as polypropylene fibers, polyethylene fibers, and polyester fibers. Examples of water-repellent fiber yarns include water-repellent yarns obtained by applying water-repellent treatment to organic fiber yarns, and examples of organic fiber yarns include fiber yarns containing natural fibers and/or synthetic fibers. A water-repellent yarn obtained by water-repellent-finishing a fiber yarn containing hydrophobic fibers is preferable. The fiber yarn (I) is specifically polypropylene fiber yarn, polyester (PET, etc.) water-repellent yarn, acrylic water-repellent yarn, nylon water-repellent yarn, acetate water-repellent yarn, and ethylene vinyl alcohol water-repellent yarn. At least one selected from textured yarns is preferable. The water-repellent yarn may be treated to be water-repellent in the state of fiber or thread, or may be treated in the state of knitted fabric to be water-repellent.

The water-repellent finishing is not particularly limited, but can be performed as follows. For example, a method in which the yarn is rewound into a cheese shape and immersed in a water repellent agent, and then subjected to a cross-linking reaction by dry curing; A method in which a water-repellent finishing agent is applied to the yarn on the machine and then cross-linked by dry curing; There is a method of applying a water-repellent finishing agent to the thread and then performing a cross-linking reaction by dry curing.

As the water-repellent finishing agent, a silicone-based water-repellent agent, a fluorine-based water-repellent agent, and the like, which are commonly used as water-repellent agents for synthetic fibers, may be used, and are not particularly limited. Among them, fluorine-based water repellents are preferable from the viewpoint of durability. From the viewpoint of durability, aminoplast resin, polyfunctional block isocyanate group-containing urethane resin, ethylene carbonate, etc. may be added to the water repellent.

Fiber thread (II) is a hydrophilic fiber thread. Since the knitted fabric for clothing contains the hydrophilic fiber yarn (II), it can absorb sweat discharged from the body surface. The fiber yarn (II) may be spun yarn, multifilament yarn, crimped yarn obtained by processing multifilament yarn, or any other yarn. Hydrophilic fiber yarns include, but are not limited to, cellulose fiber spun yarns such as cotton, rayon, acetate, and triacetate, nylon fiber yarns, blended yarns of these fibers and polyester fibers, and these fibers and polyester (PET, etc.). Composite spun yarn with multifilament yarn (including spun and twisted yarn), polyester hydrophilic yarn obtained by hydrophilic treatment of polyester fiber yarn, acrylic hydrophilic yarn obtained by hydrophilic treatment of acrylic fiber yarn, polyurethane fiber yarn Hydrophilic treated polyurethane yarn and the like can be mentioned. The hydrophilic processed yarn may be one that uses a hydrophilic resin, one that has been hydrophilized in the state of fiber or yarn, or one that has been hydrophilized in the state of knitted fabric. As the fiber thread (II), one hydrophilic fiber thread may be used alone, or two or more hydrophilic fiber threads may be used in combination.

Hydrophilization treatment of the yarn or knitted fabric is not particularly limited, but can be performed as follows. For example, after the knitted fabric is hydrophilized in a bath at the same time as dyeing in the dyeing process, or after dyeing, the knitted fabric is immersed in a bath containing a hydrophilic substance, and then subjected to a cross-linking reaction by dry curing; A method in which the yarn is rewound into a cheese shape and immersed in a hydrophilic substance, and then dried and cured to cause a cross-linking reaction; After imparting a hydrophilic substance to the yarn, a cross-linking reaction is carried out by dry curing; There is a method of causing a cross-linking reaction by drying and curing after application. When the knitted fabric in which the fiber yarn (I) and the fiber yarn (II) are woven is hydrophilically treated in a bath at the same time as the dyeing in the dyeing process, the fiber yarn (I) maintains its hydrophobicity and water repellency, Only fiber thread (II) can be hydrophilized.

The hydrophilic substance is not particularly limited, but for example, when it is used for hydrophilic treatment of polyester fibers, polyethylene glycol, terephthalic acid and polyethylene glycol, which are water absorbing agents having affinity with polyester fibers, are block-polymerized. The resulting block copolymer and the like can be used.

The knitted fabric for clothing has a water retention capacity of 100 g/m ² or more and 300 g/m ² or less after the knitted fabric for clothing is made to absorb water for 10 seconds and suspended vertically to the ground for 30 seconds. The "water retention capacity after allowing the knitted fabric for clothing to absorb water for 10 seconds and hanging it vertically to the ground for 30 seconds" corresponds to the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing. When the knitted fabric for clothing has a saturated water retention capacity of 100 g/m ² or more, the knitted fabric easily absorbs perspiration, particularly when a large amount of perspiration is perspired, and is excellent in sweat disposal properties. Further, when the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing is 300 g/m ² or less, excessive weight increase due to sweat absorption of the knitted fabric during sweating, particularly when a large amount of sweating is suppressed, and lightness is excellent. The saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing is preferably 105 g/m ² or more and 290 g/m ² or less, more preferably 115 g/m ² or more and 280 g/m ² or less, and 120 g/m ² or more and 270 g. /m ² or less, and particularly preferably 125 g/m ² or more and 265 g/m ² or less. The saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing can be adjusted based on the ratio of the fiber yarns (I) and the fiber yarns (II), the amount of gaps between the fiber yarns, and the like. For example, when the ratio of fiber yarn (I) is high, the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing is low. In addition, when the gap between the fiber yarns is small, the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric for clothing becomes low.

In the present specification, the "saturated water retention capacity" specifically refers to a sample obtained by cutting a knitted fabric for clothing to 100 mm x 100 mm, measuring the weight of the sample to obtain Wa (g), and placing the sample in a water tank. After being immersed in the water inside for 10 seconds, the weight after hanging vertically to the ground for 30 seconds is measured to obtain Wb (g), which can be calculated by the following formula (1).
Saturated water retention capacity (g/m ² ) = (Wb - Wa) x 100 (1)

It refers to the product of the thickness of I) and the number of fiber yarns (I) constituting the knitted fabric per unit area. In addition, when a hydrophobic or water-repellent region is formed by coating a resin in a knitted fabric state, it refers to the resin-coated area per unit area of the knitted fabric. The area other than the hydrophobic or water-repellent area is treated as a hydrophilic area, and the ratio of the area (B) of the hydrophilic area can be calculated by the following formula (6).
Proportion of B = B/(A+B) x 100 (6)

In the present invention, the unit gap amount means the amount of gaps between fiber yarns excluding through-holes that penetrate in the thickness direction of the knitted fabric and have lengths of 0.3 mm or more in both the warp and weft directions. In knitted fabrics, gaps between fiber yarns and through-holes have different functions. Specifically, water is retained in the gaps between the fiber threads, whereas water is not retained in the through-holes. When the unit gap amount of the knitted fabric for clothing is within the range described above, the amount of water retention of the knitted fabric for clothing is suppressed, and in turn, it is possible to suppress an increase in the weight of the knitted fabric for clothing due to sweat absorption. The amount of gaps between fiber yarns per 10,000 mm ² of the knitted fabric for clothing is preferably 4,300 mm ³ or less, more preferably 4,200 mm ³ or less, even more preferably 4,100 mm ³ or less, and 4,000 mm ³ or less. is particularly preferred.
