[0001]

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flame-retardant composite non-woven fabric excellent in flame-retardant performance, mechanical properties, and particularly flexibility, and a method for producing the same. The present invention relates to a flame-retardant composite non-woven fabric that can be widely used in the fields of building materials, agricultural materials, general industrial materials, daily household items, etc., and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, polyester, especially polyethylene terephthalate, has excellent mechanical and chemical properties and is widely used for clothing and industrial materials.

In recent years, from the viewpoint of fire prevention, the demand for flame retardancy of synthetic fibers has increased. Heretofore, various attempts have been made to impart flame retardancy to polyesters, and it is said that the method of incorporating a phosphorus compound into the polyester is effective.

Techniques for producing a flame-retardant long-fiber non-woven fabric are disclosed in, for example, JP-A-6-264352 and JP-A-6-264.
No. 353, JP-A-6-264354, and the like. The gist of these is that the thermocompression-bonded non-woven fabric is composed of composite long fibers made of phosphorus-containing polyester.

[0005]

However, all of these conventional flame-retardant long-fiber nonwoven fabrics are composed only of the flame-retardant long-fiber web formed by the spunbond method, and the entire web is heated. Since it is a pressure-bonded product, it has satisfactory flame retardancy and mechanical properties such as strength, but it has a problem of poor flexibility.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems by
It is intended to provide a flame-retardant composite non-woven fabric which is excellent not only in flame-retardant performance and mechanical properties but also particularly in flexibility and a method for producing the same.

[0007]

The short-sleeved nonwoven web layer having flame retardancy composed of one of the following
The fibrous nonwoven web layer is laminated on both sides, and the laminated non-woven web layer is subjected to a first pressurized liquid flow treatment so that the fibers constituting the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer and the flame-retardant short fibers The constituent fibers of the fibrous nonwoven web layer are preliminarily entangled with each other, and then a second pressurized liquid flow treatment is performed by a pressurized liquid flow having a pressure higher than that in the first pressurized liquid flow treatment. The flame-retardant composite, characterized in that the constituent fibers of the polyester short-fiber non-woven web layer and the constituent fibers of the short-fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy are entangled with each other and integrated as a whole.

According to such a construction, not only the flame retardant performance and mechanical characteristics equivalent to those of the conventional one are provided, but
In addition to the short fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy, it has a polyester short fiber non-woven web layer, and since the whole is integrated by the entanglement of the constituent fibers of the web layer, it was a mark that has never existed before. Be flexible.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As the short fibers constituting the non-woven web layer having a short flame retardance, a critical oxygen index (hereinafter referred to as L
It is preferable to use fibers having an OI value of 28 or more. The LOI value is a value measured according to JIS K 7201, and generally, the LOI value of 25 to 26 or more is the standard of the flame-retardant material. Examples of the short fiber having an LOI value of 28 or more include aramid fiber, polyphenylene sulfide fiber (hereinafter referred to as PPS fiber), carbon fiber, polyester fiber containing 500 ppm or more of phosphorus atom, and these short fibers may be used alone or Used in multiple.

For example, in the case of a polyester fiber containing a phosphorus atom, it is preferable that the phosphorus compound is copolymerized with polyester. On the other hand, when the phosphorus compound is present in a state of being blended with the polyester, the phosphorus compound exudes or volatilizes on the fiber surface in the yarn making process, which deteriorates the operability and deteriorates the working environment, which is not preferable.

Among the copolymerizable phosphorus compounds, a phosphorus compound having two ester-forming functional groups and having no phosphorus atom directly incorporated in the polymer chain is more preferable. This is because it is difficult to volatilize during the polymerization reaction, so that the yield is high, gelation does not occur during the polymerization reaction of the polymer, and the hydrolysis resistance of the produced polymer is high.

Examples of such phosphorus compounds include those represented by the following chemical formula (1).

[0013]

[Chemical 1]

In order to copolymerize the phosphorus compound represented by the above chemical formula with the polyester, the phosphorus compound may be added to the reaction system as it is during the production of the polyester and reacted, or terephthalic acid, inphthalic acid, etc. It may be added in the form of a monomer, an oligomer, or a polymer by reacting with the dicarboxylic acid or diol such as ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol.

The amount of phosphorus compound added to the polyester containing phosphorus atoms is such that the phosphorus atom content in the fiber is 50.
It is essential that the concentration be 0 ppm or more. Preferably 1,
000 to 20,000 ppm, more preferably 2.5
It is preferable to set it to be 0.00 to 10,000 ppm.
When the content of the phosphorus compound is less than 500 ppm, the non-woven fabric has poor flame retardancy. Conversely, 20,000
When it is more than ppm, yarn breakage frequently occurs in the yarn making process and the original excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and the like of polyester are impaired, which is not preferable.

When the short fibers constituting the non-woven short fiber web having flame retardancy are aramid short fibers, para aramid fibers and meta aramid fibers can be used. As the carbon fibers, pitch-based ones and PAN-based (special acrylic fiber filaments) can be used.

[0017]

Examples of the polyester polymer for forming the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer include aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and naphthalnor-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, and aliphatic compounds such as adipic acid and sebacic acid. Dicarboxylic acid etc. are mentioned. A homopolyester polymer or copolymer containing these esters as an acid component and a diol compound such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 1,4-butadiol, neopentyl glycol, or cyclohexane-1,4-dimethynol as an ester component. An example is coalescence. In addition, paraoxybenzoic acid, 5-sodium sulfoisophthalanol acid, polyalkylene glycol, pentaerythithritol, bisphenol A and the like may be added or copolymerized to these polyester-based polymers.

If necessary, the above-mentioned polymer may be added to the polymer.
For example, various additives such as a matting agent, a pigment, a flameproofing agent, a light stabilizer, a heat stabilizer and an antioxidant can be added within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

The composition ratio of the polyester short-fiber non-woven web layer and the flame-retardant short-fiber non-woven web layer is, by weight ratio, (polyester short-fiber non-woven web layer): (flame-retardant short fiber Nonwoven web layer) = 50: 50 to 20:80
The range is preferably. When the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer exceeds 50% by weight, the amount of fibers having no flame retardancy in the composite non-woven fabric increases, and as a result, the composite non-woven fabric does not have satisfactory flame retardancy, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer is 20% by weight or less, sufficient mechanical strength and dimensional stability cannot be obtained in the composite nonwoven fabric, which is not preferable.

Further Oite the present invention, by laminating the short fiber nonwoven web layer having a flame retardancy to both surfaces of the polyester staple fiber web layer, so that the expected very good flame retardancy.

Further, when the non-woven short-fiber nonwoven web layer having flame retardancy is laminated on both surfaces of the composite nonwoven fabric, the distribution ratio between one surface and the other surface is in the range of 35:65 to 65:35. It is necessary to be within. If the distribution ratio is less than 35% on either side, the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer will not be sufficiently covered by the short fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy, resulting in extremely good flame retardancy. Sex cannot be expected.

Flame-retardant polyester short fibers can be efficiently produced by the following steps. That is, a polyester copolymer chip in which a phosphorus compound containing 500 ppm or more of phosphorus atoms is copolymerized is melt-spun, and after the yarn is cooled, it is drawn at a speed of 800 to 1200 m / min to obtain an undrawn yarn. Then, a plurality of the obtained undrawn yarns are combined and a drawn yarn is obtained by two-stage hot drawing. Heat setting is applied to the drawn yarn by a heat drum, and then crimping is applied by a push-in crimper,
The spinning fat and oil component may be applied, followed by drying treatment and cutting into a predetermined fiber length.

The polyester short fibers can be produced by the following method. That is, a polyethylene terephthalate polymer chip is melt-spun, the yarn is cooled, and then drawn at a speed of 800 to 1200 m / min to obtain an undrawn yarn. Then, a plurality of the undrawn yarns obtained are combined and 2
A drawn yarn is obtained by a step heat drawing machine. The yarn subjected to this stretching is heat set by a heat drum, then crimped by a crimper to be infused to impart a fat and oil component for spinning, and then subjected to a drying treatment and cut into a predetermined fiber length. Good. The short fibers preferably have a fineness of 0.8 to 5.0 denier and a fiber length of about 10 to 76 mm.

The short fiber web layer having flame retardancy preferably has a basis weight in the range of ²⁰ to 100 g / m ² . A basis weight of less than 20 g / m ² is not preferable because the shape retention of the web layer is not good. Further, when the basis weight exceeds 100 g / m ² , the energy required for the pressurized liquid flow treatment becomes large, and in an extreme case, for example, a polyester short fiber non-woven web layer has a flame-retardant short fiber non-woven web on both sides. When the layers are arranged, the inner side of the web layer on one side, that is, the side on which the liquid flow hits, is entangled with the short fibers without any problem, while the other side, that is, the side on the back side with respect to the liquid flow, is formed. However, such entanglement is not formed, and as a result, practical mechanical properties cannot be obtained, which is not preferable.

The short fiber web layer is formed by opening short fibers using, for example, a card machine and then forming a non-woven web. As a card machine used at that time,
A parallel card machine, a random card machine, or a semi-random card machine is selected according to the performance required for the composite nonwoven fabric. Alternatively, a parallel card may be provided with a cross layer, and a drafter may be used for the cross-laid non-woven web so that
The horizontal arrangement may be changed. When one web layer itself is composed of a laminated nonwoven web, it may be laminated using different card machines.

When the web layers are laminated to obtain a composite nonwoven fabric, first, both surfaces of the polyester short fiber non-woven web layer are laminated.
Then, as described above, a short fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy made of aramid fiber, PPS fiber, carbon fiber, or polyester fiber containing 500 ppm or more of phosphorus atom is laminated.

The laminated nonwoven web layer thus obtained is placed on a moving porous support plate, and a pressurized liquid flow is caused to act on the laminated nonwoven web layer to form a flame-retardant short-fiber nonwoven web layer. The fibers and the constituent fibers of the polyester short-fiber non-woven web layer are three-dimensionally entangled with each other.

In order to generate a pressurized liquid fluid, for example, the pore size is 0.05 to 2.0 mm, especially 0.1 to 0.4 m.
m injection holes with a hole spacing of 0.3 to 10 mm
A method in which a large number of devices are arranged in a row or a plurality of rows and the injection pressure is set to 5 to 150 kg / cm ² G is adopted. The injection holes are arranged in rows along a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the laminate. Water or hot water is generally used as the pressurized liquid. The distance between the injection hole and the laminate is preferably 1 to 15 cm. If this distance is less than 1 cm, the texture of the composite non-woven fabric obtained by this treatment is disturbed, while if it exceeds 15 cm, the impact force when the liquid flow collides with the laminate is reduced and three-dimensional entanglement is sufficiently achieved. Since it is not applied, neither is preferable.

In the present invention, the pressurized liquid flow treatment is performed in two steps.
Apply in stages. First, as a first-stage treatment, a pressurized liquid flow having a pressure of 5 to 30 kg / cm ² G is ejected to collide with the laminate to preliminarily prepare the constituent fibers of the short fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy. To entangle yourself. In this first-stage treatment, when the liquid flow pressure is less than 5 kg / cm ² G, the constituent fibers of the short-fiber nonwoven web layer having flame retardancy cannot be pre-entangled with each other, while When the pressure of the liquid flow exceeds 30 kg / cm ² G, the constituent fibers of the flame-retardant short-fiber non-woven web layer are disturbed, and the formation of irregularities and unity spots are caused on the flame-retardant short-fiber non-woven web layer. Any of these are undesirable because they occur.

Then, in the second stage treatment, a pressurized liquid flow having a pressure higher than that of the first stage and having a pressure of 40 to 150 kg / cm ² G is jetted to collide with the laminate to make the polyester short fiber impregnated. The constituent fibers of the woven web layer and the constituent fibers of the short-fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardancy are entangled three-dimensionally with each other, and the constituent fibers of the respective short-fiber non-woven web layers are three-dimensionally entangled. Entanglement to integrate the laminate as a whole. In this second-stage treatment, if the pressure of the liquid flow is less than 40 kg / cm ² G, the above-mentioned three-dimensional entanglement between fibers cannot be sufficiently formed, while the pressure of the liquid flow is 150 kg / cm ^2. If it exceeds cm ² G, the flexibility and the bulkiness of the obtained composite non-woven fabric are not improved, which is not preferable. Thus, in the second stage treatment, a higher pressure pressurized liquid flow having a pressure of 40 to 150 kg / cm ² G is used, but when the second stage treatment is applied to the laminate, the first step is performed as described above. Since the constituent fibers of the short fiber non-woven web layer are pre-entangled with each other by the step treatment, the constituent fibers of the short fiber non-woven web layer having flame retardance are not disturbed by the action of the liquid flow, Therefore, the texture of the non-woven short fiber non-woven web layer is not disturbed and the basis weight is not uneven.

In the present invention, a short-fiber nonwoven web layer having flame retardancy is laminated on both sides of a polyester short-fiber non-woven web to form a composite non-woven fabric having a three-layer structure .
However, at that time, the non-woven web subjected to the entanglement treatment is reversed by supplying the pressurized liquid flow to one surface, and the pressurized liquid flow is similarly supplied to the other surface. It is possible to form a laminated non-woven fabric that is densely integrated on the front and back. Thus, the nonwoven web layer subjected to the entanglement treatment from the front and back is not only entangled with the constituent fibers of the polyester short fiber nonwoven web layer and the constituent fibers of the short fiber nonwoven web layer having flame retardancy, Since the constituent fibers of the non-woven short fiber web layer having flame retardancy are entangled with each other, the laminated nonwoven fabric has a stronger structure.

The above-mentioned porous support plate is sufficient if the pressurized liquid flow passing through the laminated nonwoven web layer placed on the support plate can pass through the holes. The material may be either metal or polyester. The mesh of this porous support plate is suitably in the range of 10 to 150/25 mm.

After applying the pressurized liquid stream treatment, excess moisture is removed from the laminate by known methods. That is, excess moisture is mechanically removed to some extent using a squeezing device such as a mangle roll, and then residual moisture is removed using a drying device such as a continuous hot air dryer to obtain a final composite nonwoven product. You can When performing the drying treatment, when selecting the treatment conditions such as the drying treatment temperature and time, it is possible to select not only the removal of water but also the condition that allows an appropriate shrinkage.
