Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fireproof sheet for wallpaper lining for interior decoration used in houses and the like.

Buildings subject to fire prevention are stipulated by the Building Standards Law and its Enforcement Ordinance. Commercial facilities, office buildings, medical and welfare facilities, etc., which fall under this category, are subject to restrictions on interior decoration such as walls and ceilings during new construction or renovation. required to use. Therefore, some wall covering materials having flame resistance, heat resistance, noncombustibility, etc. have been proposed. However, in addition to satisfying performance such as flame resistance, heat resistance, and non-combustibility, the polyvinyl chloride resin (foamed vinyl chloride sol) coated surface of the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing has good flatness and flexibility for easy installation. The current situation is that a low-cost fireproof sheet for wallpaper lining that has both properties has not yet been found.

For example, as a sheet material, in Patent Document 1, an inorganic filler (inorganic particles ) and an organic synthetic resin are mixed and applied (provided). Thus, when inorganic fillers are used, the fiber base sheet is required to have excellent coatability when the inorganic fillers are applied. Further, the sheet material is required to be less likely to cause a phenomenon called "powder drop" in which the inorganic filler falls off. Since the sheet material of Patent Document 1 uses organic fibers, the non-combustibility is insufficient, and when organic fibers are not used, the strength is weak, it is difficult to add an inorganic filler, and the coatability is low. There is a problem. In addition, since an organic synthetic resin is used as a binder for the inorganic filler, there is a problem that nonflammability and heat resistance are lowered. Furthermore, the flatness of the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface was also insufficient.

Further, as a glossy flame-retardant paper, in Patent Document 2, a sheet made by impregnating a paper-like material of inorganic fibers with a flame-retardant paint containing inorganic powder (inorganic particles) that generates an anti-inflammatory gas as a main component. are disclosed. Since this flame-retardant paper uses an organic binder in the flame-retardant paint, it is not sufficiently non-combustible. In addition, release paper is used to coat the inorganic powder, resulting in poor productivity and high cost. Furthermore, there is a problem that the sheet for wallpaper backing lacks flexibility.

Further, Patent Document 3 discloses coating a resin composition containing latex on the surface of glass fiber mixed paper made of at least glass fiber, wood pulp, and binder fiber. Since this glass fiber mixed paper is coated with a resin composition such as wood pulp or latex, it has low nonflammability and fire resistance. Further, the flatness of the polyvinyl chloride resin (expanded vinyl chloride sol) coated surface is sufficient for a cushion flooring sheet, but insufficient for a wallpaper backing sheet. In addition, the folding endurance strength when folded at the corner of the wall was insufficient, and there was a problem that corner cracks occurred during wallpaper construction.

Further, Patent Document 4 discloses a glass nonwoven fabric containing glass fibers with a flat cross section as one of the constituent materials, which contains 10% by weight or more of the glass fibers with a flat cross section and glass fibers with a circular cross section as other constituent materials. is disclosed. This glass nonwoven fabric is intended to be used as a base material for electrical insulating boards and laminated boards for printed wiring boards. However, the remaining component is the binder, and resins such as epoxy resin, acrylic resin, melamine resin, urea resin, vinyl acetate, and polyvinyl alcohol can be used as the resin (binder) that bonds the glass fibers. . Therefore, fire resistance and incombustibility were insufficient. Furthermore, the density of the glass nonwoven fabric is high, and there is a problem that the impregnation of the inorganic particles is significantly inferior. Further, when a polyvinyl chloride resin is applied, there is a problem that the polyvinyl chloride resin strikes through the back surface of the glass nonwoven fabric and stains the paper roll. Therefore, the flatness of the coated surface of the polyvinyl chloride resin was insufficient.

Furthermore, in Patent Document 5, a fire-resistant layer of a fire-resistant electric wire in which a fire-resistant layer, an insulating layer, and an outer coating layer are sequentially provided on the outside of a conductor, and the fire-resistant layer is a fire-resistant layer obtained by laminating laminated mica and an inorganic fiber sheet. It is a composite tape, and the inorganic fiber sheet serving as a reinforcing layer for holding the laminated mica is composed of 60 to 100 parts by weight of fibers having a flat cross section and 0 to 40 parts by weight of an organic or inorganic binder. A fire resistant insulating tape is disclosed which is characterized by: Since 60 to 100 parts by weight of inorganic fibers having a flat cross section are used in this fireproof insulating tape, the sheet is thin and has a high density. Furthermore, in the examples, since a silicone-based resin adhesive was used as an adhesive for the laminated mica, fire resistance and nonflammability were insufficient. Further, when the polyvinyl chloride resin is applied, there is a problem that the polyvinyl chloride resin strikes through the back surface of the fireproof insulating tape and stains the paper roll. Therefore, the flatness of the coated surface of the polyvinyl chloride resin was insufficient.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-21240 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-114100 JP-A-10-046485 JP-A-6-257042 JP-A-10-326528

It is an object of the present invention to provide an inorganic particle layer with excellent coatability, a polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface in a wallpaper backing fireproof sheet with good flatness, no strike-through of the polyvinyl chloride resin, and flexibility and flexibility.

Fire resistant sheet for lining.

(2) The fireproof sheet for lining wallpaper according to (1) above, wherein the content of the flat cross-section glass fibers is 75% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less based on the total amount of the glass fibers.

(3) The fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing according to the above (1) or (2), wherein the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is a silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber.

The fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing of the present invention contains a base material and an inorganic particle layer, and the base material contains glass fibers, wet heat adhesive binder fibers and fibrillated fibers. The fibrillated fibers are entangled and bonded with glass fibers and wet heat adhesive binder fibers, and the fibers are strongly fixed by the wet heat adhesive binder film, which has the effect of improving the sheet strength and the coating properties of the inorganic particle layer. Excellent for In addition, since the fibrillated fibers fill the voids between the fibers, the penetration of the polyvinyl chloride resin is prevented, and the inorganic particles are firmly captured, so that heat resistance and nonflammability can be improved.

Further, in the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing of the present invention, the content of glass fibers with a flat cross section is 75% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of glass fibers, so that the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing is polychlorinated. The flatness of the vinyl resin-coated surface can be improved. Furthermore, the thickness is reduced, the flexibility is improved, and the tensile strength, tear strength, and folding endurance can be significantly improved while ensuring the coatability of the inorganic particle layer.

Moreover, since the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing of the present invention contains an inorganic particle layer containing inorganic particles and an inorganic binder, it is possible to achieve the effect of being excellent in fire resistance and noncombustibility.

It is a surface observation image of the base material of the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing.

In the present invention, the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing contains a base material and an inorganic particle layer, the base material contains glass fibers, wet heat adhesive binder fibers, and fibrillated fibers, and the glass fibers are made of glass having a flat cross section. It is characterized in that it contains fibers, and the content of the fibrillated fibers is 6% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less with respect to the total raw materials constituting the base material. In this specification, "fireproof sheet for backing wallpaper" may be abbreviated as "fireproof sheet".

Glass fibers in the present invention include, for example, chopped strands, glass wool, and glass flakes. Any glass fiber may be used as long as it is hard to break and has the ability to form a base material.

In the present invention, the substrate contains glass fibers. The cross-sectional shape of the glass fiber includes a flat cross section as well as a circular cross section. In the present invention, the glass fibers contain flat cross-section glass fibers. In the flat cross-section glass fiber, the dimensions of the major axis and the minor axis of the flat cross section are not particularly limited. The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis" is referred to as the "flatness ratio") is preferably 3-5. If the flatness ratio is less than 3, the effect of improving the flatness and strength of the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface may be reduced, while if the flatness ratio exceeds 5, spinning of flat glass fibers becomes difficult. In some cases, in papermaking, the number of fibers decreases, so the texture of the base material may deteriorate, the fireproof sheet may become too thin, or pinholes may easily occur.

The converted fiber diameter of the glass fiber having a flat cross section is preferably 5 to 17 μm, more preferably 6 to 14 μm, even more preferably 7 to 11 μm. Also, the short diameter is preferably 2.8 to 9.6 μm, more preferably 3.5 to 7.0 μm, even more preferably 4.0 to 6.0 μm. The term "converted fiber diameter" means the value of the diameter of a circular cross-section fiber having the same cross-sectional area as that of a flattened fiber. When the converted fiber diameter is less than 5 μm, economical spinning becomes difficult, while when the converted fiber diameter exceeds 17 μm, the fibers become too thick and have high rigidity, making dispersion in the papermaking process difficult. There is In addition, since the number of glass fibers is reduced, voids become larger, and the coatability and adhesion amount of the inorganic particle layer may decrease, and the flatness of the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface of the fireproof sheet may deteriorate.

The fiber diameter of the glass fiber having a circular cross section is preferably 1 to 11 μm, more preferably 2 to 8 μm, even more preferably 3 to 7 μm. If the fiber diameter is less than 1 μm, the glass fibers may be too fine to fall off from the base material during papermaking, resulting in insufficient strength and thickness of the base material. If the fiber diameter exceeds 11 μm, the glass fiber becomes too thick, and the gap between the substrates becomes large. Particle falling off may increase and flexibility may deteriorate. When the fiber diameter of the glass fiber is 1 to 11 μm, the gaps between the base materials are fine and uniform, so that powder falling after forming the inorganic particle layer is less, and the surface coated with the polyvinyl chloride resin is easily flattened. , it becomes a fireproof sheet with excellent flexibility.

The fiber length of the glass fiber is preferably 1 to 15 mm, more preferably 3 to 13 mm, even more preferably 5 to 10 mm. If the fiber length is less than 1 mm, the strength of the base material may be insufficient, and if the fiber length exceeds 15 mm, the texture of the base material may deteriorate, and clumps or twists in which the glass fibers are entangled are likely to occur. and flexibility may be impaired.

The glass fiber content is preferably 78 to 90% by mass, more preferably 80 to 88% by mass, and 82 to 86% by mass, based on the total raw material constituting the base material. More preferred. If the content is less than 78% by mass, the substrate strength, fire resistance, or noncombustibility may be deteriorated, and if the content exceeds 90% by mass, the bonding between the glass fibers is weak. becomes weaker, the coatability of the inorganic particle layer may deteriorate, and furthermore, since the gaps between the fibers of the base material become large, the flatness of the surface coated with the polyvinyl chloride resin may be impaired.

The content of glass fibers with a flat cross section is preferably 75% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 80% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and further 85% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. preferable. When the content is within this range, the tensile strength of the base material is high when dry and when wet, and the coating properties of the inorganic particle layer are excellent. In addition, the flexibility of the fireproof sheet is excellent, the folding endurance strength is increased, and corner cracking during wallpaper installation can be prevented. If the content is less than 75% by mass, the glass fibers may easily fall off from the substrate.

The binder fiber used in the present invention is a wet heat adhesive binder fiber. A wet heat adhesive binder fiber is a fiber that exhibits an adhesive function by flowing or easily deforming from a fibrous state at a certain temperature in a wet state. Specifically, it is a thermoplastic fiber that can be softened by hot water or steam (for example, about 80 to 120 ° C.) and self-adhesive or can be adhered to other fibers. , polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, etc.), cellulosic fibers (C1-3 alkyl cellulose such as methyl cellulose, hydroxy C1-3 alkyl cellulose such as hydroxymethyl cellulose, carboxy C1-3 alkyl cellulose such as carboxymethyl cellulose, or salts thereof), Fibers made of modified vinyl-based copolymers (vinyl-based monomers such as isobutylene, styrene, ethylene, vinyl ether, and unsaturated carboxylic acids such as maleic anhydride, or copolymers with their anhydrides, or salts thereof etc.). As the wet heat adhesive binder fiber used in the present invention, polyvinyl-based fiber is preferable, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber is more preferable. When polyvinyl alcohol fibers are used, the strength of the substrate is increased, and a film is easily formed between the fibers, making it easier to hold the inorganic particles between the fibers. In addition, the flatness of the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface of the fireproof sheet can be easily improved.

As the wet heat adhesive binder fiber used in the present invention, a modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber modified with a compound having a crosslinkable functional group, a crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked under mild conditions during spinning or after spinning using a crosslinking agent The fibers are more preferred because they can impart hot water resistance properties to low draw yarns.

Examples of crosslinkable functional groups include silanol groups, carboxyl groups, and methylol groups. By adjusting the pH or the like, the polyvinyl alcohol modified with a compound having a crosslinkable functional group can be dissolved in water without cross-linking and spun to obtain a modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber. The modified polyvinyl alcohol fibers may be crosslinked during or after spinning. The degree of modification is preferably 0.01 to 10 mol%, more preferably 0.1 to 5 mol%. As a preferred example, silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol (denaturation degree 0.1 to 2 mol%) is dissolved in an alkaline solution (pH 9 to 13), and the solution is acidified (pH 5 to 6) to crosslink while spinning. and silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol fibers obtained by heat treatment after drying.

Also, crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol fibers obtained by a method of spinning non-self-crosslinking unmodified polyvinyl alcohol and then imparting various organic or inorganic crosslinking agents to crosslink the fibers can also be used. Examples of inorganic cross-linking agents include phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, and titanyl sulfate. Examples of organic cross-linking agents include methylol-based, epoxy-based, isocyanate-based, and aldehyde-based cross-linking agents. After adding these cross-linking agents to the undenatured polyvinyl alcohol spinning dope and spinning, or after spinning the undenatured polyvinyl alcohol alone and passing it through a cross-linking agent-containing bath, heat treatment can be performed to promote cross-linking. can. Moreover, it is also possible to use these methods together.

Although the wet heat adhesive binder fiber used in the present invention is not limited to the above, the silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber further increases the adhesiveness to the glass fiber, so that the tensile strength of the substrate can be further increased. , is particularly preferred.

The fineness of the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is preferably 0.1 to 5.6 decitex, more preferably 0.4 to 2.2 decitex, and 0.6 to 1.1 decitex. More preferred. If the fineness is less than 0.1 decitex, the fiber itself becomes very expensive, and the substrate may become too dense and thin. On the other hand, if it exceeds 5.6 decitex, the contact points with the glass fibers are reduced, and it may become difficult to maintain the strength in a wet state. In addition, a uniform formation may not be obtained. The fiber length of the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is preferably 1 to 15 mm, more preferably 2 to 10 mm, even more preferably 3 to 5 mm. If the fiber length is less than 1 mm, the wet heat adhesive binder fibers may fall off from the papermaking wires during papermaking, and a fire resistant sheet with sufficient strength may not be obtained. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 15 mm, the wet heat adhesive binder fibers may become entangled when dispersed in water, and the texture of the fireproof sheet may become uneven.

The content of the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is preferably 4 to 10% by mass, more preferably 5 to 9% by mass, more preferably 6 to 8% by mass, based on the total raw material constituting the base material. It is even more preferable to have If the content of the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is less than 4% by mass, the strength of the base material is lowered, and the paper may be broken or the glass fibers may fall off when the inorganic particle layer is applied. On the other hand, if the content of the wet heat adhesive binder fiber exceeds 10% by mass, the peelability from the dryer may deteriorate when the substrate is made by the wet papermaking method, and the inorganic particle layer is applied. In this case, the permeability to the base material may decrease, and the fire resistance of the wallpaper backing fireproof sheet may deteriorate.

Fibrillated fibers include natural cellulose, solvent-spun cellulose, acrylic, wholly aromatic polyamide, wholly aromatic polyester, polyimide, polyamideimide, polyetheretherketone, polyethersulfone, polyphenylene sulfide, polybenzimidazole, poly-p- Examples include fibrillated fibers made of heat-resistant resins such as phenylenebenzobisthiazole, poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole, and polytetrafluoroethylene. Among these, wholly aromatic polyamides, which have high heat resistance, high hydrophilicity, and are easily fibrillated, are preferred. More preferably, pulp-like materials made of meta-aromatic polyamides such as poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) and poly(m-phenylene terephthalamide) resins are preferred. A pulp-like material composed of a meta-aromatic polyamide is a thin leaf-like or scale-like small piece having a large number of minute fibril parts capable of making a paper-like structure using a paper machine. It has the effect of filling voids and smoothing the sheet. In addition, when the moisture present in the crystal structure is removed by heating, pressure reduction, or the like, it shrinks significantly and strengthens the fiber network, so it has the effect of improving the wet strength of the base material.

The modified freeness of the fibrillated fiber in the present invention is preferably 0 to 300 ml, more preferably 0 to 200 ml, still more preferably 0 to 100 ml. When the modified freeness exceeds 300 ml, the fiber width of the trunk portion of the fibrillated fiber is thick and fibrillation is not so advanced, so the dense network with the glass fiber is reduced, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength. Sometimes. On the other hand, when the modified freeness is less than 0 ml, the fine content of the fibrillated fibers increases, and the percentage of the fibrillated fibers falling off from the substrate increases, which may lower the yield. In addition, fibrillation of fibers takes a long time and is very expensive. In addition, since the base material tends to be thin and easily densified, it becomes difficult for the coating liquid for forming the inorganic particle layer to permeate inside, and the fire resistance may deteriorate. As fibrillation of fibrillated fibers progresses, the modified freeness continues to decrease. Even after the modified freeness reaches 0 ml, if the fibers are further fibrillated, the fibers will pass through the mesh and the modified freeness will start to rise. In the present invention, the state in which the modified freeness starts to reversely rise is called "the modified freeness is less than 0 ml".

In the present invention, the modified freeness is JIS P8121-2: 2012 except that an 80-mesh wire mesh with a wire diameter of 0.14 mm and an opening of 0.18 mm is used as the sieve plate, and the sample concentration is set to 0.1%. It is a value measured according to

The fibrillated fiber of the present invention preferably has a mass-weighted average fiber length of 0.02 mm or more and 1.50 mm or less. Also, the length-weighted average fiber length is preferably 0.02 mm or more and 1.00 mm or less. If the average fiber length is shorter than the preferred range, the fibrillated fibers may fall off from the substrate. If the average fiber length is longer than the preferred range, the fibers are not easily disaggregated, and poor dispersion tends to occur.

When the fibrillated fibers have the above mass-weighted average fiber length and length-weighted average fiber length, even if the content of fibrillated fibers contained in the base material is small, the fibrillated fibers and the glass fibers Between, a dense network structure is formed by fibers, and a substrate having high tensile strength and capable of enhancing the permeability and liquid retention of the coating liquid for forming the inorganic particle layer is easily obtained.

The average fiber width of the fibrillated fibers is preferably 0.5 μm or more and 40.0 μm or less, more preferably 3.0 μm or more and 35.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 5.0 μm or more and 30.0 μm or less. If the average fiber width exceeds 40.0 μm, the entanglement between the fibrillated fibers and the glass fibers is reduced, which may reduce the tensile strength. Fibers come to fall off, and the number of intersections increases excessively. Unless the number of wet heat adhesive binder fibers is increased, the tensile strength may decrease.

In the present invention, the mass weighted average fiber length, length weighted average fiber length and average fiber width of fibrillated fibers were measured in projected fiber length (Proj) mode using Kajaani FiberLab V3.5 (manufactured by Metso Automation). weight-weighted average fiber length (L(w)), length-weighted average fiber length (L(l)), and fiber width.

Fibrillated fibers are produced by using a refiner, a beater, a mill, a grinder, a rotary homogenizer that applies a shearing force with high-speed rotating blades, a cylinder with an inner blade that rotates at high speed, and a fixed outer blade. A double-cylinder high-speed homogenizer that generates shear force between blades, an ultrasonic crusher that miniaturizes with ultrasonic impact, and a small-diameter orifice by applying a pressure difference of at least 20 MPa to a heat-resistant resin suspension. It can be obtained by making the resin pass through at a high speed, colliding with it and rapidly decelerating it, and then treating it with a high-pressure homogenizer or the like that applies a shearing force and a cutting force to the resin.

In the present invention, the content of the fibrillated fibers is 6% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less, more preferably 7% by mass or more and 11% by mass or less, relative to the total raw material constituting the base material. More preferably, the content is not less than 10% by mass and not more than 10% by mass. If the fibrillated fiber content exceeds 12% by mass, the fire resistance and the shape retention after the fire resistance test are lowered. In addition, since the base material becomes too thin and the voids in the base material decrease, the permeability and liquid retention of the coating liquid for forming the inorganic particle layer decrease, and the coating amount of the inorganic particle layer decreases. It is necessary to increase the number of coatings. On the other hand, if the fibrillated fiber content is less than 6% by mass, the effect of the fibrillated fibers filling the voids between the fibers constituting the base material becomes insufficient, and the polyvinyl chloride resin strikes through.

In the present invention, in addition to the glass fiber, the wet heat adhesive binder fiber, and the fibrillated fiber, various fibers can be blended, if necessary, as long as the performance is not impaired. As a result, finer voids can be increased, and the retention of inorganic particles and the strength of the fireproof sheet for backing wallpaper can be improved. Such fibers include regenerated fibers such as rayon, cupra, and lyocell fibers; semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, triacetate, and promix; polyolefin, polyamide, polyacrylic, vinylon, vinylidene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyester. synthetic resin fibers, metal fibers, carbon fibers, alumina, silica, ceramics, rock fibers Inorganic fibers such as can be added.

The synthetic resin fiber may be a fiber (single fiber) made of a single resin, or a composite fiber made of two or more resins. Composite fibers include core-sheath type, eccentric type, side-by-side type, sea-island type, orange type, and multi-bimetal type. Moreover, the above-mentioned various fibers that can be contained in the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing of the present invention may be used singly or in combination of two or more.

In the present invention, the thickness of the substrate is preferably 0.1 mm or more, more preferably 0.2 mm or more, and even more preferably 0.3 mm or more. Also, it is preferably 1.0 mm or less, more preferably 0.8 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.6 mm or less. When the thickness of the substrate is within the above range, the substrate in the present invention can maintain the necessary tensile strength in the papermaking process and the coating process, so the workability in each process, including the papermaking properties of the substrate, is improved. will be good. If the thickness of the base material exceeds 1.0 mm, the flexibility of the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing may be impaired, making it difficult to handle. If the thickness of the substrate is less than 0.1 mm, the voids in the substrate become large, making it difficult to coat. It may get worse.

The density of the substrate in the invention is preferably 0.10 g/cm ³ or more, more preferably 0.20 g/cm ³ or more. Also, it is preferably 0.50 g/cm ³ or less, more preferably 0.40 g/cm ³ or less. If the density ^is less than 0.10 g/cm ³ , the tensile strength of the substrate becomes too weak, and the substrate may be damaged during handling or coating. In some cases, the flexibility of the base material deteriorates, making it difficult to wind it up with a reeler for papermaking, and in some cases, the coating amount of the inorganic particle layer decreases.

The substrate in the present invention is preferably a wet-laid nonwoven fabric produced by a wet-laid papermaking method (paper-making method). In the wet papermaking method, fibers are dispersed in water to form a uniform papermaking slurry, and the papermaking slurry is made by a paper machine to produce a wet nonwoven fabric. The paper machine includes a cylinder paper machine, a fourdrinier paper machine, an inclined paper machine, an inclined wire mesh paper machine, and a combination of these machines. It can also be manufactured on a paper machine that has multiple headboxes and stacks wet paper on wires. In addition to the fiber raw material, the papermaking slurry may optionally contain a dispersant, a paper strength agent, a thickener, an inorganic filler, an organic filler, an antifoaming agent, and the like. The solid content concentration of the papermaking slurry is preferably about 0.5 to 0.001% by mass. This papermaking slurry is further diluted to a predetermined concentration and then made into paper to obtain a wet paper web. Next, the paper wet paper web is nipped with a press roll or the like, and then a Yankee dryer is used to melt the wet heat adhesive binder fibers to develop strength. By drying with a Yankee dryer, the dried surface becomes flat and a surface with less unevenness can be formed. In addition, there is no problem in using a heating device such as a hot air dryer, a heating roll, or an infrared heater for auxiliary drying. The drying temperature at this time is preferably a temperature at which the moisture in the wet paper web can be sufficiently removed and the strength can be exhibited by the wet heat adhesive binder fibers.

In the present invention, the inorganic particle layer is a layer containing inorganic particles and an inorganic binder. The inorganic particle layer covers the entire surface of the fibers contained in the base material, and fills the voids of the base material, so that the refractory sheet has fire resistance and noncombustible effects. Furthermore, the permeability of the polyvinyl chloride resin is suppressed, and the flatness of the surface coated with the polyvinyl chloride resin is improved.

FIG. 1 is an electron microscope (SEM) observation photograph of the Yankee dryer surface of the base material of the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing. Glass fibers with circular cross sections and flat cross sections, fibrillated fibers that are pulp-like substances made of meta-aromatic polyamide, and wet heat adhesive binder fibers contained in the base material can be confirmed. The fibrillated fibers enter between the glass fibers and fill the gaps between the glass fibers. In addition, the wet heat adhesive binder fibers flow from a fiber state at a certain temperature in a wet state, or are easily deformed into a film-like state, covering the intersections of the glass fibers and the fibrillated fibers, and the SEM observation photograph of FIG. It is observed as an amorphous film on the surface. As a result, adhesiveness is exhibited, the flatness of the substrate is improved, and strike-through of the polyvinyl chloride resin is prevented.

Examples of inorganic particles include aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide oxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, gypsum dihydrate, tricalcium aluminate, clay, kaolin, calcined kaolin, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate, talc, Inorganic particles with good water dispersibility such as titanium dioxide can be used. The inorganic particles may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Among inorganic particles, aluminum hydroxide oxide, clay, kaolin, calcined kaolin, and carbonate-based inorganic particles solidify when exposed to flames, and can prevent the inorganic particles from falling off from the fireproof sheet. preferable. Furthermore, aluminum hydroxide oxide, clay, kaolin, and calcined kaolin are more preferable because they are excellent in fire resistance and nonflammability even when the fire resistant sheet is held at high temperatures, and can maintain the strength of the fire resistant sheet.

In the present invention, the particle diameter of the inorganic particles is preferably 0.08 μm or more and 20.0 μm or less, more preferably 0.30 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less, and 0.40 μm or more and 10.0 μm or less. is more preferred. If the particle size exceeds 20.0 μm, the fire resistance of the wallpaper-backing fireproof sheet may be deteriorated, or the heat insulating property may be deteriorated when exposed to powder or high temperature. On the other hand, if the particle diameter is less than 0.08 μm, the viscosity of the inorganic particles tends to increase when dispersed, making it difficult to disperse them. The amount of inorganic binder must be increased to prevent falling off, and the flexibility of the fireproof sheet may be impaired. The particle size of the inorganic particles was obtained by diluting the inorganic particles with water, dispersing them with a stirrer, and measuring them with a laser scattering type particle size analyzer (manufactured by Microtrack, trade name: MT3000). The median particle size (D50, volume average) was taken as the particle size.

In the present invention, the inorganic particle layer contains an inorganic binder. Examples of inorganic binders include sepiolite, colloidal silica, water glass, alumina sol, and bentonite. The above inorganic binders may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

In the present invention, the content of the inorganic binder contained in the inorganic particle layer is preferably 2% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and 5% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less, relative to the total amount of the inorganic particles. is more preferable, and more preferably 10% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less. If the inorganic binder content is less than 2% by mass, the inorganic particles may easily fall off from the substrate. Moreover, when the content of the inorganic binder exceeds 100% by mass, the coatability of the inorganic particle layer may be deteriorated or the flexibility of the fireproof sheet may be impaired.

The medium for preparing the coating liquid for forming the inorganic particle layer is not particularly limited as long as it can uniformly dissolve or disperse the inorganic binder and the inorganic particles. For example, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, Water or the like can be used as necessary. Moreover, the medium to be used is preferably a medium that does not expand the substrate or a medium that does not dissolve the substrate.

The content of the inorganic particle layer is a value calculated by "coating amount of the inorganic particle layer (g/m ² )/substrate basis weight (g/m ² )×100", and is preferably 60% by mass or more. , more preferably 80% by mass or more, and even more preferably 100% by mass or more. If the content of the inorganic particle layer is 60% by mass or more, even when the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing is exposed to flame, the fireproof sheet hardly melts or is damaged. On the other hand, the content of the inorganic particle layer is preferably less than 160% by mass. The higher the content of the inorganic particle layer, the thicker the refractory sheet and the higher the fire resistance and noncombustibility. Sheet flexibility may be compromised.

Various coating apparatuses can be used as an apparatus for coating the substrate with the inorganic particles to form the inorganic particle layer. For example, 2-roll size press, gate roll coater, gravure coater, die coater, lip coater, blade coater, curtain coater, air knife coater, rod coater, kiss touch coater, dip coater, etc. Impregnation or various coaters by coating equipment can be used, but is not limited to this. In the present invention, when the content of glass fibers with a flat cross section in the base material is high, the thickness becomes thin and the amount of liquid retained in the coating liquid of the inorganic particle layer decreases. When using a two-roll size press, it is preferable to use a device that has the ability to precisely adjust the gap between the rolls (eg, a cylinder and cotter configuration).

In the present invention, the inorganic particle layer contains various dispersants such as polyacrylic acid and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, in addition to the inorganic particles and the inorganic binder, and hydroxyethylcellulose and sodium carboxymethylcellulose to increase the liquid stability of the coating liquid. , various thickeners such as polyethylene oxide, various water retention agents, various wetting agents, preservatives, antifoaming agents, and other additives may be added as necessary. In general, a non-aqueous coating liquid using an organic solvent as a medium has a low surface tension, and an aqueous coating liquid using water as a medium has a high surface tension. Since the base material of the present invention has high receptivity for coating liquids, both non-aqueous coating liquids and water-based coating liquids can be coated without problems. It is preferable to use the water-based coating liquid used.

In the present invention, the level difference Sk of the core portion obtained by measuring the surface roughness of at least one surface of the refractory sheet for wallpaper backing with a confocal laser microscope is preferably 55 μm or less, more preferably 50 μm or less. More preferably, it is 45 μm or less. Also, Sk is preferably 20 μm or more, more preferably 25 μm or more, and even more preferably 30 μm or more. The polyvinyl chloride resin is preferably applied to the surface of the fireproof sheet for backing wallpaper having an Sk of 55 μm or less. The “core portion level difference Sk” is an index for comparing surface roughness, and is the difference between the upper level and the lower level of the core part conforming to ISO25178. In the coating of polyvinyl chloride resin, foamed vinyl chloride sol is coated, dried and gelled, and then foamed. When the Sk of at least one surface of the fireproof sheet for backing wallpaper of the present invention is 55 μm or less, it means that the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface has good flatness. Further, when the Sk of at least one surface of the wallpaper backing sheet of the present invention is 55 μm or less, the inorganic particle layer is less likely to fall off, and the wallpaper backing fire resistant sheet has flexibility, fire resistance, and noncombustibility. easier to obtain. When Sk exceeds 55 μm, the flatness of the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface may deteriorate. On the other hand, when the Sk is less than 20 μm, the polyvinyl chloride resin-coated surface has good flatness and good fire resistance and non-combustibility, but the flexibility of the fire-resistant sheet for wallpaper backing may be impaired.

A method for measuring Sk in the present specification will be described.

The following physical properties were measured and evaluated for the substrates and wallpaper backing fireproof sheets of Examples and Comparative Examples, and the results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

<Basis weight of base material and fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing>
Based on JIS P8124:2011, the basis weight of the substrate and the total basis weight of the fireproof sheet were measured. The absolute dry coating amount of the inorganic particle layer was calculated by subtracting the basis weight of the substrate from the basis weight of the fireproof sheet.

<Thickness of base material and fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing>
Using an outer micrometer specified in JIS B7502:2016, the thickness was measured under a 5N load.

<Tensile strength of substrate>
For each substrate, cut out five sample pieces of 250 mm in the flow direction × 50 mm in the width direction so that the long side is in the flow direction, and use a desktop universal testing machine (manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd., trade name STB-1225S). ), a tensile test was performed at a tensile speed of 100 mm/min according to JIS P8113:1998. The maximum value of tensile stress was defined as "tensile strength", and the average value of five sheets was taken.

It was inserted and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.

○: Does not ignite after insertion.
△: Fires momentarily after insertion.
x: The sheet surface ignites after insertion.

<Level difference Sk of the core part>

Fixed. A refractory sheet is coated with a foamed vinyl chloride sol for wallpaper that is colored black on the surface with an applicator bar with a gap of 0.15 mm, and the PPC paper and the refractory sheet are heated together in a constant temperature hot air dryer at 150 ° C. for 25 seconds to form a gel. made it After peeling off the adhesive tape and removing the fireproof sheet, the adhesion state of the black foamed vinyl chloride sol on the PPC paper was visually observed and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.

○: No adhesion.
Δ: Very small black spots are slightly observed.
x: A large number of clear black spots are observed.

<Flexibility>
After coating the inorganic particle layer on the fireproof sheet for wallpaper backing, the sheet was wound around a paper tube having an outer diameter of 10 cm with a coater reeler, and the state of the sheet was visually observed and evaluated according to the following criteria.

◯: It can be neatly wound around the paper tube.
Δ: Immediately after winding the paper tube, the sheet slightly floats from the outer periphery of the paper tube or wrinkles are observed, but after a while the sheet can be neatly wound.
x: The film cannot be neatly wound around the paper tube, and large floats, cracks, and wrinkles occur.

<Falling of glass fiber>
For each refractory sheet, cut out five sample pieces of 200 mm in the flow direction × 100 mm in the width direction so that the long side is in the flow direction. A cylindrical metal roll weighing 3 kg was reciprocally rolled from above, the cellophane tape was peeled off, and the state of the cellophane tape was visually observed and evaluated according to the following criteria.

As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the fireproof sheets produced in Examples 1 to 9 contain a substrate and an inorganic particle layer, and the substrate comprises glass fibers, wet heat adhesive binder fibers, and fibrillated fibers. the inorganic particles, wherein the glass fibers contain flat cross-section glass fibers, the content of the fibrillated fibers is 6% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less with respect to the total raw materials constituting the base material, and the inorganic particles The layer contains inorganic particles and an inorganic binder. The fibrillated fibers fix the glass fibers, and the fixed intersections are further fixed by the wet heat adhesive binder fibers. No paper or the like was generated.

Comparing Examples 1 to 9, the content of glass fibers with a flat cross section is 75% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of glass fibers, so that the base material becomes thin and high density. The strength was increased, and the folding endurance was remarkably improved. In addition, the film of the flat glass fiber, the wet heat adhesive binder fiber, and the fibrillated fiber improved the flatness of the fireproof sheet, filled the voids in the fireproof sheet, and prevented the polyvinyl chloride resin from showing through. .

In Example 6, the content of glass fibers with a flat cross section was less than 75% by mass with respect to the total amount of glass fibers, but the glass fibers tended to come off easily.

Comparing Example 7 and Example 8, the use of silanol-modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber as the wet heat adhesive binder fiber has higher tensile strength, excellent folding endurance, and improved coatability of the inorganic particle layer. I found out.

Comparing Example 1 and Example 9, it was found that the meta-aromatic polyamide, which has high heat resistance, has higher nonflammability.

The fire-resistant sheet of Comparative Example 1 does not contain fibrillated fibers, but the thickness of the fire-resistant sheet is thin and the gaps between the glass fibers are not filled. could not be suppressed, and strike-through occurred. In addition, since a dense network structure was not formed between the fibrillated fibers and the glass fibers, the glass fibers tended to fall off.

In Comparative Example 2, in which the fibrillated fiber content is less than 6% by mass, the formation of a dense network structure by the fibers is insufficient between the fibrillated fibers and the glass fibers, and the voids between the fibers form an inorganic particle layer. Even if it was applied, it was not completely buried, so that the polyvinyl chloride resin struck through and a slight drop of the glass fiber was observed. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 3, in which the content of fibrillated fibers was more than 12% by mass, the nonflammability deteriorated due to the increase in organic fibers relative to the total raw materials constituting the base material.

When comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, the use of glass fibers with a flat cross section is excellent in tensile strength and folding endurance because the bonding point with the wet heat adhesive binder fiber is surface bonding. It became difficult for the glass fiber to come off. As a result, the coatability of the inorganic particle layer was also excellent. In addition, it was found to be excellent in flexibility because the thickness is reduced. On the other hand, when glass fiber with a circular cross section is used, the bonding point with the wet heat adhesive binder fiber becomes point bonding, so the thickness increases, the tensile strength and folding endurance decrease, the flexibility decreases, and the glass Detachment of fibers was observed.

The fire-resistant sheet of Comparative Example 5 used an organic binder in the inorganic particle layer, but when it was inserted into a heating electric furnace at 750°C, the surface ignited and the nonflammability was insufficient.

The fireproof sheet for backing wallpaper of the present invention relates to a sheet for backing wallpaper for interior decoration used in houses and the like, and can be suitably used as a sheet for backing wallpaper coated with expanded polyvinyl chloride resin (expanded vinyl chloride sol). .
