Description

本発明は、親水撥油性膜組成物、親水撥油性不織布、膜形成用液組成物、膜形成用液組成物の製造方法及び親水撥油性不織布の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition, a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric, a film-forming liquid composition, a method for producing the film-forming liquid composition, and a method for producing the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric.

不織布の繊維表面に親水撥油性膜組成物を付着させた親水撥油性不織布は、防汚機能を備えていて、油分による汚れが生じにくい。このため、親水撥油性不織布は、例えば、機械油を使用する工場、油が飛散する厨房、油蒸気が立ちこめるレンジフード、換気扇等において、油汚れを防止する分野並びに油水分離機能が求められる分野に用いられる。親水撥油性不織布の製造方法としては、親水撥油性膜形成用の液組成物に不織布をディッピングし、不織布の繊維表面に付着させた液組成物を乾燥する方法が用いられる。 A hydrophilic/oil-repellent nonwoven fabric having a hydrophilic/oil-repellent film composition applied to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric has a stain-resistant function and is less susceptible to stains due to oil. For this reason, hydrophilic/oil-repellent nonwoven fabrics are used in fields where prevention of oil stains and oil/water separation functions are required, for example, in factories that use machine oil, kitchens where oil is scattered, range hoods and ventilation fans where oil vapor is present, etc. A method of manufacturing hydrophilic/oil-repellent nonwoven fabrics is used in which a nonwoven fabric is dipped in a liquid composition for forming a hydrophilic/oil-repellent film and the liquid composition applied to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric is dried.

親水撥油性膜形成用の液組成物としては、親水撥油剤と、バインダ(造膜剤)と、溶媒とを含む液組成物が用いられる。親水撥油性膜形成用の液組成物としては、親水撥油剤として、ベタイン構造である親水性基を有するフッ素系化合物を用い、バインダとして、ポリアクリル酸を用いた液組成物が知られている(特許文献1)。また、親水撥油剤として、ベタイン構造である親水性基を有するフッ素系化合物を用い、バインダとして、自己反応型のカルボキシル基含有物及び/又はアセチル基含有物を用いた液組成物も知られている(特許文献2)。 As a liquid composition for forming a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film, a liquid composition containing a hydrophilic and oil-repellent agent, a binder (film-forming agent), and a solvent is used. As a liquid composition for forming a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film, a liquid composition is known that uses a fluorine-based compound having a hydrophilic group with a betaine structure as the hydrophilic and oil-repellent agent, and polyacrylic acid as the binder (Patent Document 1). In addition, a liquid composition is also known that uses a fluorine-based compound having a hydrophilic group with a betaine structure as the hydrophilic and oil-repellent agent, and a self-reactive carboxyl group-containing material and/or acetyl group-containing material as the binder (Patent Document 2).

油汚れを防止する分野並びに油水分離機能が求められる分野で利用する親水撥油性不織布は、長期間にわたって安定して親水撥油性を有することが好ましい。
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載されている親水撥油性膜成形用の液組成物において、バインダとして用いられているポリアクリル酸は水溶性である。このため、特許文献1に記載されている親水撥油性不織布は、水に対する耐久性が低く、擦り耐性が不十分となる場合があった。水に対する耐久性や擦り耐性を向上させるために、不織布の繊維表面への親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量を多くして、親水撥油性膜組成物の厚さを厚くすることが考えられる。しかしながら、親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量を多くしすぎると親水撥油性不織布の風合いが、不織布の風合いと比較して低下して、成形加工が難しくなることがある。
It is preferable that hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabrics used in fields where prevention of oil stains and oil-water separation function are required have hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties that remain stable for a long period of time.
However, in the liquid composition for forming the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film described in Patent Document 1, the polyacrylic acid used as a binder is water-soluble. Therefore, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric described in Patent Document 1 may have low water durability and insufficient abrasion resistance. In order to improve water durability and abrasion resistance, it is considered to increase the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric to increase the thickness of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition. However, if the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached is too large, the texture of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric may be lower than that of the nonwoven fabric, making it difficult to mold the fabric.

また、特許文献2に記載されている親水撥油性膜成形用の液組成物において、バインダとして用いられている自己反応型のカルボキシル基及びアセチル基含有物は難水溶性である。しかしながら、カルボキシル基含有物及びアセチル基含有物は、不織布などの布製品に対する付着性が弱い。このため、バインダとして自己反応型のカルボキシル基含有物やアセチル基含有物を用いた膜形成用液組成物において膜成分の濃度を高めて、不織布の繊維表面に親水撥油性膜組成物を形成する必要があった。しかしながら、膜形成用液組成物の膜成分濃度を高くすると、親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が多くなりすぎて、親水撥油性不織布の風合いが、不織布の風合いと比較して低下するおそれがある。 In addition, in the liquid composition for forming a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film described in Patent Document 2, the self-reactive carboxyl group- and acetyl group-containing substances used as binders are poorly water-soluble. However, the carboxyl group-containing substances and acetyl group-containing substances have poor adhesion to fabric products such as nonwoven fabrics. For this reason, it was necessary to increase the concentration of the film components in the film-forming liquid composition using the self-reactive carboxyl group-containing substance or acetyl group-containing substance as a binder to form a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition on the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric. However, if the film component concentration of the film-forming liquid composition is increased, the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached becomes too large, and the texture of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric may be deteriorated compared to the texture of the nonwoven fabric.

本発明は、前述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性に優れ、不織布などの布製品の繊維表面に付着させることによって、その布製品が有する風合いを過度に低下させずに上記の特性を向上させることができる親水撥油性膜組成物、並びにその親水撥油性膜組成物の製造に用いることができる膜形成用液組成物とその製造方法、さらに親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性が優れ、かつ風合いが良好な親水撥油性不織布とその製造方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition that has excellent properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and abrasion resistance, and that can improve the above properties without excessively reducing the texture of a fabric product such as a nonwoven fabric by adhering it to the fiber surface of the fabric product, as well as a film-forming liquid composition that can be used to produce the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition and its manufacturing method, and further a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric that has excellent properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and abrasion resistance, and has a good texture, and a manufacturing method thereof.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の態様1の親水撥油性膜組成物は、フッ素系化合物(A)と、バインダ(B)と、増粘剤(C)とを含み、前記フッ素系化合物(A)は、下記の一般式(1)又は一般式(2)で表される化合物であって、前記バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基及びアセチル基の少なくとも一方を含有するポリマーであり、前記フッ素系化合物(A)、前記バインダ(B)及び前記増粘剤(C)の合計量に対して、前記フッ素系化合物(A)の含有率が2質量%以上20質量%以下の範囲内、前記バインダ(B)の含有率が60質量%以上97質量%以下の範囲内、前記増粘剤(C)の含有率が1質量%以上20質量%以下の範囲内にある構成とされている。 In order to solve the above problems, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of aspect 1 of the present invention comprises a fluorine-based compound (A), a binder (B), and a thickener (C), the fluorine-based compound (A) being a compound represented by the following general formula (1) or (2), the binder (B) being a polymer containing at least one of a carboxyl group and an acetyl group, and the content of the fluorine-based compound (A) is within the range of 2% by mass to 20% by mass, the content of the binder (B) is within the range of 60% by mass to 97% by mass, and the content of the thickener (C) is within the range of 1% by mass to 20% by mass, relative to the total amount of the fluorine-based compound (A), the binder (B), and the thickener (C).

Figure 2024055162000002
Figure 2024055162000002

上記一般式(1)及び(2)中、p、q及びrは、それぞれ同一又は互いに異なる1~6の整数を表し、Xは、エーテル結合、エステル結合、CO-NR結合、O-CO-NR結合及びSO-NR結合から選択される1種以上の結合を含んでいてもよい炭素数が1~10の炭化水素(Rは、水素原子または1価の炭化水素基を表す)を表し、Yは、ベタイン構造である親水性基を表す。 In the above general formulas (1) and (2), p, q and r each represent an integer of 1 to 6, which may be the same or different, X represents a hydrocarbon having 1 to 10 carbon atoms (R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group) which may contain one or more bonds selected from an ether bond, an ester bond, a CO—NR bond, an O—CO—NR bond and an SO 2 —NR bond, and Y represents a hydrophilic group which is a betaine structure.

本発明の態様1の親水撥油性膜組成物によれば、フッ素系化合物(A)として、上記の一般式(1)又は一般式(2)で表される化合物を上記の含有率で含むので、親水撥油性に優れたものとなる。また、バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基及びアセチル基の少なくとも一方を含有するポリマーであり、その含有率が上記の範囲内にあるので、水に溶解しにくく、かつ擦り特性が向上する。さらに増粘剤(C)を上記の含有率で含むので、不織布などの布製品の繊維表面に対する付着性が向上する。このため、態様1の親水撥油性膜組成物によれば、基材が不織布などの布製品である場合は、その布製品が有する風合いを過度に低下させない程度の付着量で、その布製品の親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性を向上させることができる。 According to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of the present invention, the fluorine-based compound (A) contains the compound represented by the above general formula (1) or (2) at the above content, so that the composition has excellent hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. In addition, the binder (B) is a polymer containing at least one of a carboxyl group and an acetyl group, and the content of the binder (B) is within the above range, so that the composition is less likely to dissolve in water and has improved scrubbing properties. Furthermore, the binder (B) contains the above content of the thickener (C), so that the adhesiveness to the fiber surface of a cloth product such as a nonwoven fabric is improved. Therefore, according to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of the present invention, when the substrate is a cloth product such as a nonwoven fabric, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and scrubbing resistance of the cloth product can be improved with an amount of adhesion that does not excessively reduce the texture of the cloth product.

本発明の態様2は、態様1の親水撥油性膜組成物において、前記バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基を有するポリオレフィン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン-酢酸ビニル-アクリル酸共重合体又はアクリル樹脂である構成とされている。
この場合、バインダ(B)が、カルボキシル基を有するポリオレフィン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン-酢酸ビニル-アクリル酸共重合体又はアクリル樹脂とされているので、親水撥油性膜組成物は水により溶解しにくくなり、水に対する耐久性がより向上する。
A second aspect of the present invention is the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of the first aspect, wherein the binder (B) is a polyolefin having a carboxyl group, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer, or an acrylic resin.
In this case, since the binder (B) is a polyolefin having a carboxyl group, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer, or an acrylic resin, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition is less likely to dissolve in water, and its durability against water is further improved.

本発明の態様3は、態様1または態様2の親水撥油性膜組成物において、前記増粘剤(C)は、層状無機化合物又は増粘多糖類である構成とされている。
この場合、増粘剤(C)が層状無機化合物又は増粘多糖類であり、フッ素系化合物(A)に対して不活性である。このため、フッ素系化合物(A)の性状を変えずに不織布などの布製品の繊維表面に対する付着性をより高くすることができる。
A third aspect of the present invention is the hydrophilic/oil-repellent film composition according to the first or second aspect, wherein the thickener (C) is a layered inorganic compound or a thickening polysaccharide.
In this case, the thickener (C) is a layered inorganic compound or a thickening polysaccharide, and is inactive to the fluorine-based compound (A), so that the adhesion of the fluorine-based compound (A) to the fiber surface of a fabric product such as a nonwoven fabric can be increased without changing the properties of the fluorine-based compound (A).

本発明の態様4の親水撥油性不織布は、不織布と、前記不織布の繊維表面に付着させた態様1から3のいずれか1つに記載の親水撥油性膜組成物とを含み、前記親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が0.02g/m以上0.5g/m以下の範囲内にある構成とされている。 The hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of aspect 4 of the present invention comprises a nonwoven fabric and the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition according to any one of aspects 1 to 3 adhered to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric, and the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition adhered is in the range of 0.02 g/ m2 or more and 0.5 g/ m2 or less.

本発明の態様4の親水撥油性不織布によれば、不織布の繊維表面に上述の親水撥油性膜組成物を付着させているので、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性が向上する。また、親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が上記の範囲内にあるので、基材となった不織布が有する風合いが損なわれない。 According to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of aspect 4 of the present invention, the above-mentioned hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition is adhered to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric, so that the properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and abrasion resistance are improved. In addition, since the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition adhered is within the above-mentioned range, the texture of the nonwoven fabric used as the base material is not impaired.

本発明の態様6の膜形成用液組成物によれば、フッ素系化合物(A)として、上記の一般式(1)又は一般式(2)で表される化合物を上記の含有率で含むので、この膜形成用液組成物を用いて形成した膜組成物は、親水撥油性に優れたものとなる。また、バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基及びアセチル基の少なくとも一方を含有するポリマーであり、その含有率が上記の範囲内とされているので、この膜形成用液組成物を用いて形成した膜組成物は、水に溶解しにくく、かつ擦り特性が向上する。 According to the film-forming liquid composition of aspect 6 of the present invention, the fluorine-based compound (A) contains the compound represented by the above general formula (1) or general formula (2) at the above content, so that the film composition formed using this film-forming liquid composition has excellent hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. In addition, the binder (B) is a polymer containing at least one of a carboxyl group and an acetyl group, and the content thereof is within the above range, so that the film composition formed using this film-forming liquid composition is less likely to dissolve in water and has improved rubbing properties.

また、増粘剤(C)を上記の含有率で含むので、膜形成用液組成物の粘度が高くなり、不織布などの布製品への膜形成用液組成物の付着性が向上する。さらに、溶媒(D)として炭素数が1~3の範囲内にあるアルコールと水とを含むので、フッ素系化合物(A)、バインダ(B)及び増粘剤(C)を均一に分散させることができる。このため、本発明の膜形成用液組成物を用いることによって、布製品の繊維表面に付着させる膜組成物の量を少なくしても、厚さが薄く、且つ均一な親水撥油性膜組成物を形成することができる。よって、本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物を用いることによって、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性が優れ、かつ風合いが良好な親水撥油性不織布を得ることができる。 In addition, since the thickener (C) is contained in the above content, the viscosity of the film-forming liquid composition is increased, and the adhesion of the film-forming liquid composition to fabric products such as nonwoven fabrics is improved. Furthermore, since the solvent (D) contains an alcohol having a carbon number of 1 to 3 and water, the fluorine-based compound (A), the binder (B) and the thickener (C) can be uniformly dispersed. Therefore, by using the film-forming liquid composition of the present invention, even if the amount of the film composition to be attached to the fiber surface of the fabric product is reduced, a thin and uniform hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition can be formed. Therefore, by using the film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric having excellent properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellency, durability against water, and abrasion resistance, and having a good texture can be obtained.

If the film component concentration is too low, hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties may not be exhibited when applied to the fiber surface of a fabric product such as a nonwoven fabric. If the film component concentration is too high, the amount of film component attached is likely to be large when applied to the fiber surface of a fabric product, and it may be difficult to form a thin and uniform film composition without impairing the texture of the nonwoven fabric. The film component concentration is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 0.03% by mass or more and 0.45% by mass or less, and more preferably in the range of 0.04% by mass or more and 0.40% by mass or less.

膜形成用液組成物中のフッ素系化合物(A)の含有率は、フッ素系化合物(A)、バインダ(B)及び増粘剤(C)の合計量に対して、2質量%以上20質量%以下の範囲内とされている。フッ素系化合物(A)の含有率が少なくなりすぎると、膜組成物としたときの親水撥油性が低下するおそれがある。フッ素系化合物(A)の含有率が多くなりすぎると、膜組成物としたときにフッ素系化合物(A)が膜組成物から脱落しやすくなるおそれがある。フッ素系化合物(A)の含有率は、特に限定されないが、2.5質量%以上19.5質量%以下の範囲内にあることが好ましく、3.0質量%以上19.0質量%以下の範囲内にあることがより好ましい。 The content of the fluorine-based compound (A) in the film-forming liquid composition is in the range of 2% by mass to 20% by mass based on the total amount of the fluorine-based compound (A), the binder (B) and the thickener (C). If the content of the fluorine-based compound (A) is too low, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties of the film composition may be reduced. If the content of the fluorine-based compound (A) is too high, the fluorine-based compound (A) may easily fall off from the film composition when the film composition is formed. The content of the fluorine-based compound (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 2.5% by mass to 19.5% by mass, and more preferably in the range of 3.0% by mass to 19.0% by mass.

膜形成用液組成物中のバインダ(B)の含有率は、フッ素系化合物(A)、バインダ(B)及び増粘剤(C)の合計量に対して、60質量%以上97質量%以下の範囲内とされている。バインダ(B)の含有率は、特に限定されないが、62.0質量%以上96.5質量%以下の範囲内にあることが好ましく、65.0質量%以上96.0質量%以下の範囲内にあることがより好ましい。 The content of the binder (B) in the film-forming liquid composition is within the range of 60% by mass to 97% by mass based on the total amount of the fluorine-based compound (A), the binder (B), and the thickener (C).

分散剤(E)の含有率は、例えば、フッ素系化合物(A)の含有量に対して0.2質量%以上10質量%以下の範囲内にある。分散剤(E)の含有率が少なくなりすぎると、フッ素系化合物(A)の分散性が不十分となるおそれがある。一方、分散剤(E)の含有率が多くなりすぎると、フッ素系化合物(A)の分散性が不安定となるおそれがある。分散剤(E)の含有率は、特に限定されないが、0.3質量%以上9.0質量%以下の範囲内にあることが好ましく、0.5質量%以上8.5質量%以下の範囲内にあることがより好ましい。 The content of the dispersant (E) is, for example, in the range of 0.2% by mass to 10% by mass relative to the content of the fluorine-based compound (A).

In the thickener (C)-containing aqueous composition preparation process, the thickener (C) 31 and water 32 are mixed to prepare the thickener (C)-containing aqueous composition 30.

混合工程において、フッ素系化合物(A)水性分散液10、バインダ(B)含有水性組成物20、増粘剤(C)含有水性組成物30及び溶媒(D)40を混合する方法には、特に制限はない。例えば、バインダ(B)含有水性組成物20と溶媒(D)との混合物に、フッ素系化合物(A)水性分散液10に加えて混合し、次いで、増粘剤(C)含有水性組成物30を加えて混合する方法を用いてもよい。

In the mixing step, there is no particular limitation on the method for mixing the fluorine-based compound (A) aqueous dispersion 10, the binder (B)-containing aqueous composition 20, the thickener (C)-containing aqueous composition 30, and the solvent (D) 40. For example, a method may be used in which the fluorine-based compound (A) aqueous dispersion 10 is added to and mixed with a mixture of the binder (B)-containing aqueous composition 20 and the solvent (D), and then the thickener (C)-containing aqueous composition 30 is added and mixed.
The film forming liquid composition 100 obtained as described above may further contain a solvent (D) as necessary to adjust the film component concentration.

以上のような構成とされた本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物によれば、フッ素系化合物(A)として、上記の一般式(1)又は一般式(2)で表される化合物を上記の含有率で含むので、この膜形成用液組成物を用いて形成した膜組成物は、親水撥油性に優れたものとなる。また、バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基及びアセチル基の少なくとも一方を含有するポリマーであり、バインダ(B)を上記の含有率で含むので、この膜形成用液組成物を用いて形成した膜組成物は、水に溶解しにくくなり、擦り特性が向上する。また、増粘剤(C)を上記の含有率で含むので、膜形成用液組成物の粘度が高くなり、不織布などの布製品への膜形成用液組成物の付着性が向上する。さらに、溶媒(D)として炭素数が1~3の範囲内にあるアルコールと水とを含むので、フッ素系化合物(A)、バインダ(B)及び増粘剤(C)を均一に分散させることができる。このため、本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物を用いることによって、布製品の繊維表面に付着させる膜組成物の量を少なくしても、不織布の風合いを損なわずに、厚さが薄く、且つ均一な親水撥油性膜組成物を形成することができる。よって、本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物を用いることによって、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性が優れ、かつ風合いが良好な親水撥油性不織布を得ることができる。 According to the film-forming liquid composition of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the fluorine-based compound (A) contains the compound represented by the above general formula (1) or general formula (2) at the above content, the film composition formed using this film-forming liquid composition has excellent hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. In addition, the binder (B) is a polymer containing at least one of a carboxyl group and an acetyl group, and since the binder (B) is contained at the above content, the film composition formed using this film-forming liquid composition is less likely to dissolve in water and has improved rubbing properties. In addition, since the thickener (C) is contained at the above content, the viscosity of the film-forming liquid composition is increased, and the adhesion of the film-forming liquid composition to fabric products such as nonwoven fabrics is improved. Furthermore, since the solvent (D) contains an alcohol having a carbon number in the range of 1 to 3 and water, the fluorine-based compound (A), the binder (B) and the thickener (C) can be uniformly dispersed. Therefore, by using the film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, even if the amount of the film composition applied to the fiber surface of the cloth product is reduced, a thin and uniform hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition can be formed without impairing the texture of the nonwoven fabric. Therefore, by using the film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric having excellent properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellency, durability against water, and abrasion resistance, and having a good texture can be obtained.

本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物において、バインダ(B)が、カルボキシル基を有するポリオレフィン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、又はエチレン-酢酸ビニル-アクリル酸共重合体である場合は、この膜形成用液組成物を用いて形成した膜組成物は、水により溶解しにくくなるので、水に対する耐久性がより向上する。また、本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物において、増粘剤(C)が層状無機化合物又は増粘多糖類である場合は、フッ素系化合物(A)に対して不活性であるので、フッ素系化合物(A)の性状を変えずに、膜形成用液組成物の粘度を調整することができる。 In the film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, when the binder (B) is a polyolefin having a carboxyl group, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer, the film composition formed using this film-forming liquid composition is less likely to dissolve in water, and therefore has improved durability against water. In addition, in the film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, when the thickener (C) is a layered inorganic compound or a thickening polysaccharide, it is inactive against the fluorine-based compound (A), and therefore the viscosity of the film-forming liquid composition can be adjusted without changing the properties of the fluorine-based compound (A).

本実施形態の膜形成用液組成物の製造方法によれば、分散剤(E)水溶液13とフッ素化合物(A)のアルコール溶液16とを混合して、フッ素化合物(A)を析出させて、フッ素系化合物(A)水性分散液10を得るフッ素系化合物(A)分散液作製工程を含むので、フッ素化合物(A)が均一に分散した膜形成用液組成物100を製造することができる。なお、図1に示す膜形成用液組成物の製造方法においては、増粘剤(C)31と水32とを混合して、増粘剤(C)含有水性組成物30を作製しているが、市販の増粘剤(C)含有水性組成物を用いてもよい。 According to the method for producing a film-forming liquid composition of this embodiment, the method includes a fluorine-based compound (A) dispersion production step of mixing an aqueous solution of a dispersant (E) 13 with an alcohol solution of a fluorine compound (A) 16 to precipitate the fluorine compound (A) and obtain an aqueous dispersion of a fluorine-based compound (A) 10, so that a film-forming liquid composition 100 in which the fluorine compound (A) is uniformly dispersed can be produced. In the method for producing a film-forming liquid composition shown in FIG. 1, a thickener (C) 31 and water 32 are mixed to produce an aqueous composition containing a thickener (C) 30, but a commercially available aqueous composition containing a thickener (C) may be used.

[親水撥油性膜組成物]
本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物は、フッ素系化合物(A)と、バインダ(B)と、増粘剤(C)と、溶媒(D)とを含む膜形成用液組成物の硬化物である。親水撥油性膜組成物は、例えば、膜形成用液組成物の溶媒(D)を除去することによって形成された硬化物であってもよい。溶媒(D)を除去する方法として、例えば、常圧加熱、減圧加熱などを用いることができる。
[Hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition]
The hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of this embodiment is a cured product of a film-forming liquid composition containing a fluorine-based compound (A), a binder (B), a thickener (C), and a solvent (D). The hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition may be, for example, a cured product formed by removing the solvent (D) from the film-forming liquid composition. As a method for removing the solvent (D), for example, normal pressure heating, reduced pressure heating, etc. can be used.

本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物は、マトリックス成分と、マトリックス成分に分散されているフッ素系化合物(A)とを含む構成とされていてもよい。マトリックス成分はバインダ(B)と増粘剤(C)を含有する。マトリックス成分は、分散剤(E)を含有していてもよい。 The hydrophilic/oil-repellent film composition of this embodiment may be configured to include a matrix component and a fluorine-based compound (A) dispersed in the matrix component. The matrix component contains a binder (B) and a thickener (C). The matrix component may contain a dispersant (E).

親水撥油性膜組成物は、例えば、基材の表面に、上述の膜形成用液組成物を塗布し、膜形成用液組成物の溶媒(D)を除去することによって製造することができる。膜組成物用液組成物の塗布方法としては、例えば、ディッピング法、スクリーン印刷法、バーコート法、ダイコート法、ドクターブレード法、スピン法、刷毛塗り法等を用いることができる。 The hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition can be produced, for example, by applying the above-mentioned film-forming liquid composition to the surface of a substrate and removing the solvent (D) of the film-forming liquid composition. Examples of methods that can be used to apply the film-forming liquid composition include dipping, screen printing, bar coating, die coating, doctor blade, spin coating, and brush coating.

以上のような構成とされた本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物によれば、フッ素系化合物(A)として、上記の一般式(1)又は一般式(2)で表される化合物を上記の含有率で含むので、親水撥油性に優れたものとなる。また、バインダ(B)は、カルボキシル基及びアセチル基の少なくとも一方を含有するポリマーであり、その含有率が上記の範囲内にあるので、水に溶解しにくく、かつ擦り特性が向上する。さらに増粘剤(C)を上記の含有率で含むので、不織布などの布製品の繊維表面に対する付着性が向上する。このため、本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物によれば、基材が布製品である場合は、その布製品が有する風合いを過度に低下させない程度の付着量で、その布製品の親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性を向上させることができる。 According to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the fluorine-based compound (A) contains the compound represented by the above general formula (1) or general formula (2) at the above content, the composition has excellent hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. In addition, the binder (B) is a polymer containing at least one of a carboxyl group and an acetyl group, and since the content is within the above range, it is difficult to dissolve in water and has improved scrubbing properties. Furthermore, since the thickener (C) is contained at the above content, the adhesion to the fiber surface of a cloth product such as a nonwoven fabric is improved. Therefore, according to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of the present embodiment, when the substrate is a cloth product, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties of the cloth product, such as the hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and scrubbing resistance, can be improved with an adhesion amount that does not excessively reduce the texture of the cloth product.

本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物において、バインダ(B)が、カルボキシル基を有するポリオレフィン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン-酢酸ビニル-アクリル酸共重合体又はアクリル樹脂である場合は、水により溶解しにくくなるので、水に対する耐久性がより向上する。また、本実施形態の親水撥油性膜組成物において、増粘剤(C)が層状無機化合物又は増粘多糖類である場合は、フッ素系化合物(A)に対して不活性であるので、フッ素系化合物(A)の性状を変えずに不織布などの布製品の繊維表面に対する付着性をより高くすることができる。 In the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of this embodiment, if the binder (B) is a polyolefin having a carboxyl group, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer, or an acrylic resin, it becomes less soluble in water, and therefore the durability against water is improved. In addition, in the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition of this embodiment, if the thickener (C) is a layered inorganic compound or a thickening polysaccharide, it is inactive against the fluorine-based compound (A), and therefore the adhesion to the fiber surface of a cloth product such as a nonwoven fabric can be improved without changing the properties of the fluorine-based compound (A).

[親水撥油性不織布]
本実施形態の親水撥油性不織布は、不織布と、不織布の繊維表面に形成された上述の親水撥油性膜組成物とを含む。親水撥油性不織布の親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量は、0.02g/m以上0.50g/m以下の範囲内とされている。親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が少なくなりすぎると、親水撥油性が低下するおそれがある。一方、親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が多くなりすぎると、風合いが低下するおそれがある。親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量は、0.03g/m以上0.45g/m以下の範囲内にあることが好ましく、0.05g/m以上0.40g/m以下の範囲内にあることがより好ましい。
[Hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric]
The hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of the present embodiment includes a nonwoven fabric and the above-mentioned hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition formed on the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric. The amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric is in the range of 0.02 g/m 2 or more and 0.50 g/m 2 or less. If the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached is too small, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties may be reduced. On the other hand, if the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached is too large, the texture may be reduced. The amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition attached is preferably in the range of 0.03 g/m 2 or more and 0.45 g/m 2 or less, and more preferably in the range of 0.05 g/m 2 or more and 0.40 g/m 2 or less.

変動率(%)=(Y-X)/X×100
(Xは、繊維表面に膜組成物を付着させる前の不織布の曲げ応力を表し、Yは、繊維表面に膜組成物を付着させる不織布の曲げ応力を表す。)
The hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric may have a bending stress variation rate of 75% or less relative to the bending stress of the nonwoven fabric that has become the substrate before the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition is applied to the fiber surface. The bending stress variation rate is a value calculated by the following formula. The variation rate is not particularly limited, but is preferably 70% or less, and more preferably 65% or less.
Fluctuation rate (%) = (Y-X)/X x 100
(X represents the bending stress of the nonwoven fabric before the membrane composition is applied to the fiber surface, and Y represents the bending stress of the nonwoven fabric after the membrane composition is applied to the fiber surface.)

親水撥油性不織布は、例えば、含浸工程と、脱液工程と、乾燥工程とを有する方法によって製造することができる。
含浸工程は、上述の膜形成用液組成物に、不織布をディッピングして膜形成用液組成物含有不織布を得る工程である。
The hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric can be produced, for example, by a method including an impregnation step, a dewatering step, and a drying step.
The impregnation step is a step of dipping a nonwoven fabric into the above-mentioned film-forming liquid composition to obtain a nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition.

脱液工程は、膜形成用液組成物含有不織布を脱液して、乾燥後の膜形成組成物の付着量が0.02g/m以上0.5g/m以下の範囲内となるように調整する工程である。ディッピングした不織布を脱液する方法としては、例えば不織布を絞る、ローラーを用いて脱液する方法がある。 The deliquification step is a step of deliquifying the nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition and adjusting the amount of the film-forming composition adhered after drying to within a range of 0.02 g/ m2 to 0.5 g/ m2 . Methods for deliquifying the dipped nonwoven fabric include, for example, squeezing the nonwoven fabric or using a roller to deliquify.

乾燥工程は、膜形成用液組成物含有不織布を乾燥する工程である。膜形成用液組成物含有不織布の乾燥方法としては、例えば、常圧加熱、減圧加熱などを用いることができる。 The drying process is a process for drying the nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition. For example, normal pressure heating, reduced pressure heating, etc. can be used as a method for drying the nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition.

以上のような構成とされた本実施形態の親水撥油性不織布によれば、不織布の繊維表面に上述の親水撥油性膜組成物を付着させているので、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性が向上する。また、本実施形態の親水撥油性不織布は、親水撥油性膜組成物の付着量が上記の範囲内にあるので、基材となった不織布が有する風合いが損なわれない。また、本実施形態の親水撥油性不織布において、繊維表面に親水撥油性膜組成物が形成される前の基材となった不織布の曲げ応力に対する曲げ応力の変動率が上記の範囲にある場合は、曲げ応力の変動率が低く、基材となった不織布が有する風合いがより損なわれない。 According to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of the present embodiment configured as described above, the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition is adhered to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric, so that the properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and abrasion resistance are improved. In addition, since the amount of the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition adhered to the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of the present embodiment is within the above range, the texture of the nonwoven fabric used as the substrate is not impaired. In addition, in the hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of the present embodiment, when the rate of variation of bending stress relative to the bending stress of the nonwoven fabric used as the substrate before the hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition is formed on the fiber surface is within the above range, the rate of variation of bending stress is low, and the texture of the nonwoven fabric used as the substrate is not impaired.

本実施形態の親水撥油性不織布の製造方法によれば、含浸工程において、膜形成用液組成物に不織布をディッピングするので、不織布の繊維表面に均一に上述の親水撥油性膜組成物を付着させることができ、親水撥油性、水に対する耐久性及び擦り耐性などの特性に優れた親水撥油性不織布を安定して製造することができる。また、乾燥後の膜組成物の付着量を調整する工程である脱液工程において、膜形成用液組成物の付着量が0.02g/m以上0.5g/m以下の範囲内となるように膜形成用液組成物含有不織布中の膜形成用液組成物を脱液するので、風合いが良好な親水撥油性不織布を安定して製造することができる。 According to the method for producing a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric of the present embodiment, in the impregnation step, the nonwoven fabric is dipped into the film-forming liquid composition, so that the above-mentioned hydrophilic and oil-repellent film composition can be uniformly attached to the fiber surface of the nonwoven fabric, and a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric having excellent properties such as hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties, durability against water, and abrasion resistance can be stably produced. In addition, in the draining step, which is a step of adjusting the adhesion amount of the film composition after drying, the film-forming liquid composition is drained from the nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition so that the adhesion amount of the film-forming liquid composition is within the range of 0.02 g/ m2 or more and 0.5 g/ m2 or less, so that a hydrophilic and oil-repellent nonwoven fabric having a good texture can be stably produced.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されることはなく、その発明の技術的思想を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更可能である。 The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the technical concept of the invention.

(Method of Making Nonwoven Fabric with Film Composition)
A nonwoven fabric (product name: 336, manufactured by Azumi Filter Paper Co., Ltd.) made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and glass fibers was prepared. This nonwoven fabric (50 mm x 80 mm, thickness 0.4 mm) was dipped into each of the film-forming liquid compositions obtained in Examples 1 to 7 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 to obtain a nonwoven fabric containing the film-forming liquid composition. Next, the nonwoven fabric removed from the film-forming liquid composition was drained with a roller to remove excess film-forming liquid composition, and then dried at room temperature (25±3°C) for 24 hours to produce a nonwoven fabric with a film composition. The amount of the film composition attached to the obtained nonwoven fabric with the film composition is shown in Table 4. The amount of attachment is the weight of the nonwoven fabric with the film composition minus the weight of the nonwoven fabric before dipping.

(Bending Stress)
A three-point bending test was performed on the nonwoven fabric (nonwoven fabric alone) before dipping and the nonwoven fabric with the membrane composition to measure bending stress. The measurement device used was a universal material testing machine Strograph VG20F manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd., and a linear bending jig F-0 (indenter and fulcrum radius R 5 mm) was attached with a support distance of 15 mm. A test piece (nonwoven fabric) was placed in the center of the two divided support tables, and the bending stress of the test piece was measured when the indenter was lowered from above at a speed of 5 mm/min. The measurement environment was a temperature of 23°C and a relative humidity of 50%. The results are shown in Table 4.

In contrast, the nonwoven fabric with the film composition of Comparative Example 1, which was manufactured using a film-forming liquid composition in which the contents of the fluorine-based compound (A) and thickener (C) were less than the range of the present invention and the content of the binder (B) exceeded the range of the present invention, did not exhibit hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. In addition, the nonwoven fabric with the film composition of Comparative Example 2, which was manufactured using a film-forming liquid composition in which the contents of the fluorine-based compound (A) and thickener (C) exceeded the range of the present invention and the content of the binder (B) was less than the range of the present invention, did not exhibit oil-repellent properties and had a poor texture. In addition, the nonwoven fabric with the film composition of Comparative Example 3, in which the amount of the film composition attached exceeded the range of the present invention, had a poor texture. In addition, the nonwoven fabric with the film composition of Comparative Example 4, in which the amount of the film composition attached was less than the range of the present invention, did not exhibit hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. Furthermore, the nonwoven fabric with the film composition of Comparative Example 5, which was produced using a film-forming liquid composition in which the content of the fluorine-based compound (A) and the binder (B) was within the range of the present invention and did not contain a thickener (C), did not exhibit hydrophilic and oil-repellent properties. This is because the amount of the film composition attached was less than the range of the present invention.
