Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、紙おむつ、生理用品等の衛生材料の表面用不織布材料等に適した親水性不織布に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、紙おむつや生理用品等の衛生材料は、不織布と吸収体から構成されている。不織布は直接肌に触れる部分であり、実用上および衛生面から尿等の排液の吸収体への吸収速度が速いこと、排液の逆戻り量が少ないこと、肌触りが良好なこと、皮膚刺激がないこと等が要求性能として具備されなければならなく、極めて重要な問題となっている。
【0003】
紙おむつや生理用品等の衛生材料の表面シートとして、ポリオレフィン樹脂あるいはポリエステル樹脂等の疎水性繊維からなる不織布が広く用いられている。そこで、このままでは表面シートとして使用できないために、表面シートとして使用する場合は、尿の透過性を付与する目的で疎水性不織布からなる表面シートを界面活性剤で表面処理しなければならない。
【0004】
例えば、特開昭56−58001号、特開昭58−60068号、特開平3−73144号公報には、特定の界面活性剤を疎水性繊維からなる不織布に表面処理することが提案されている。しかし、界面活性剤で処理した表面シートは、排液透過性が良好になる反面、肌への逆戻りを生じるために肌触りが悪くなり、界面活性剤の付着量が多くなると肌あれ等の皮膚刺激が生じる傾向がある。
【0005】
従って、一度吸収体に吸収された排液が逆戻りしにくくする方法としては、界面活性剤の付着量を少なくする方法や表面シートの目付、厚さを増やす方法がある。しかし、肌への排液の逆戻りが良好になる一方で排液の吸収体への透過性を妨げるため好ましくない。また、吸水体を高保水性にする方法もあるが、吸収体の量を増やすことや吸収性の良好な吸収体を用いると、コストアップにつながるために適さない。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
したがって、本発明の目的は、熱可塑性樹脂よりなる疎水性不織布に界面活性剤で処理されており、該疎水性不織布の片面と反対面の界面活性剤の付着量が違うことにより透水性、肌触り性、皮膚刺激性に優れた不織布を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は上記課題を解決するため鋭意研究した結果、熱可塑性樹脂よりなる疎水性不織布を界面活性剤で処理されている不織布において、アルキルスルホコハク酸塩を主成分とする界面活性剤が該不織布の片面に0.03〜3.0重量%付着しており、かつ該不織布の反対面に、該片面の付着量の10〜90重量%付着していることを特徴とする親水性不織布とすることにより、目的を達成できることを見出して本発明を完成させたものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明において、疎水性不織布の片面におけるアルキルスルホコハク酸塩を主成分とする界面活性剤の付着量は0.03〜3.0重量%である。付着量が0.03重量%未満では、排液の透過性は不十分であり、衛生材料には適さない。また、付着量が3.0重量%を越えると肌への排液の逆戻り量が多くなり、サラット感が悪くなって好ましくない。さらに、高付着量のため肌への刺激が強く、肌荒れが生じ衛生上好ましくない。
【0009】
さらに、疎水性不織布の反対面に処理されたアルキルスルホコハク酸塩を主成分とする界面活性剤の付着量は、該片面の付着量の10〜90重量%である。反対面の付着量が該片面の付着量の10重量%未満であると、片面の付着量が少ない時は反対面の付着量がさらに少なくなり、反対面を肌側に使用したときに排液が吸収体側に透過しないため好ましくない。また反対面の付着量が該片面の付着量の90重量%を越えると、片面とほぼ同量の付着量になり、界面活性剤の性能によっては不織布の両面とも透水性が強くなって、排液の逆戻り量が多くなり、サラット感が悪くなる。
【0010】
界面活性剤の付着量は、蛍光X線を用いて、使用した界面活性剤に含まれる特定成分(例えばリン等)の量をX線強度と感度曲線(検量線)から求めることができる。
【0011】
本発明で使用される界面活性剤は市販品のもので良く、容易に水に溶解し、親水性が付与できるものであれば良く、皮膚刺激等を考慮して、アルキルスルホコハク酸塩を主成分とする界面活性剤を特定量用いるものとする
【0012】
これらの界面活性剤を処理する方法としては、グラビア法、フレキソ法、ゲートロール法等のロールコーティング法、スプレーコーティング法等を用い、不織布の片面ずつ制御処理できるものであれば特に限定されるものではない。また、乾燥の方法としては、熱風および赤外線により乾燥させる方法、熱源に接触させて乾燥させる方法等を用いて良い。
【0013】
本発明でいう不織布の繊維は、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンその他溶融紡糸を行うことのできるポリマーで公知の方法により得られる繊維を言うが、これらのポリマーを2種以上混合して得られるものであってもよい。
【0014】
本発明に用いる不織布の目付は、JIS L 1906で測定した単位面積当たりの質量(g/m2)を目付と定義し、10〜50g/m2の範囲である。目付が50g/m2を越えると不織布が厚くなりすぎて曲げ剛性等が大きくなり、衛生材料の表面材としては好ましくない。逆に目付が10g/m2未満では、不織布の強度が低くなり過ぎて製造しにくくなる傾向が生じる。
【0015】
また、本発明で使用される不織布の繊維の繊度は、1〜10デニールの範囲とするのが良い。繊維の繊度が10デニールを越えると、不織布自体の曲げ剛性が大きくなって、衛生材料の表面材としては好ましくない。逆に、繊度を1デニール未満とすることは、製造しにくくなる傾向が生じる。
【0016】
【実施例】
以下に実施例を挙げて本発明をより具体的に説明するが、本発明は勿論これらに限定されるものではない。なお、以下の実施例および比較例において得られた不織布の測定方法は、以下の通りである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric suitable for a surface nonwoven fabric material for sanitary materials such as disposable diapers and sanitary products.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, sanitary materials such as disposable diapers and sanitary products are composed of a nonwoven fabric and an absorbent body. The non-woven fabric is the part that directly touches the skin. From the practical and hygienic aspects, the absorption rate of the urine and other waste fluids is fast, the amount of reversible drainage is small, the skin feels good, and the skin irritation This is a very important problem because it must be provided as required performance.
[0003]
Nonwoven fabrics made of hydrophobic fibers such as polyolefin resins or polyester resins are widely used as surface sheets for sanitary materials such as paper diapers and sanitary products. Therefore, in order to not be used as a surface sheet in this state, when used in the topsheet, the topsheet made of a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric in order to impart transparency urine must be surface treated with a surfactant.
[0004]
For example, JP-A-56-58001, JP-A-58-60068, and JP-A-3-73144 propose to surface-treat a specific surfactant to a nonwoven fabric composed of hydrophobic fibers. . However, the surface sheet treated with the surfactant has good drainage permeability, but it feels bad due to reversion to the skin. When the amount of the surfactant attached increases, skin irritation such as skin irritation occurs. Tend to occur.
[0005]
Therefore, as a method of making it difficult for the drainage liquid once absorbed by the absorbent body to reversely return, there are a method of reducing the amount of the surfactant attached and a method of increasing the basis weight and thickness of the surface sheet. However, it is not preferable because the drainage of the drainage into the skin is improved and the permeability of the drainage to the absorber is hindered. There is also a method of making the water absorbent highly water-retentive, but increasing the amount of the absorbent or using an absorbent with good absorbency is not suitable because it leads to an increase in cost.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is that a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric made of a thermoplastic resin is treated with a surfactant, and the amount of the surfactant adhered to one surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric is different from that of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric. It is providing the nonwoven fabric excellent in property and skin irritation.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that a nonwoven fabric in which a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric made of a thermoplastic resin is treated with a surfactant , the surfactant mainly composed of alkylsulfosuccinate is the nonwoven fabric. A hydrophilic non-woven fabric characterized in that 0.03 to 3.0% by weight adheres to one side of and 10% to 90% by weight of the amount attached to the one side of the non-woven fabric. Thus, the present invention has been completed by finding out that the object can be achieved.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the adhesion amount of the surfactant mainly composed of alkylsulfosuccinate on one side of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric is 0.03 to 3.0% by weight. If the adhesion amount is less than 0.03% by weight, the drainage permeability is insufficient and is not suitable for sanitary materials. On the other hand, if the adhesion amount exceeds 3.0% by weight, the amount of drainage of the drainage to the skin increases, and the feeling of sarat deteriorates, which is not preferable. Furthermore, since the amount of adhesion is high, the skin is strongly stimulated, resulting in rough skin, which is not preferable for hygiene.
[0009]
Furthermore, the adhesion amount of the surfactant mainly composed of alkylsulfosuccinate treated on the opposite surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric is 10 to 90% by weight of the adhesion amount on one side. When the amount of adhesion on the opposite surface is less than 10% by weight of the amount on one surface, the amount of adhesion on the opposite surface is further reduced when the amount of adhesion on one surface is small, and drained when the opposite surface is used on the skin side. Is not preferred because it does not permeate the absorber. If the amount of adhesion on the opposite side exceeds 90% by weight of the amount on one side, the amount of adhesion will be almost the same as that on one side, and depending on the performance of the surfactant, both sides of the nonwoven fabric will have increased water permeability and will be discharged. The amount of reversion of the liquid increases and the feeling of sarat worsens.
[0010]
The amount of the surfactant attached can be determined from the X-ray intensity and sensitivity curve (calibration curve) by using fluorescent X-rays to determine the amount of a specific component (for example, phosphorus) contained in the used surfactant.
[0011]
The surfactant used in the present invention may be a commercially available product as long as it can be easily dissolved in water and imparted hydrophilicity , and the alkylsulfosuccinate is the main component in consideration of skin irritation and the like. A specific amount of the surfactant is used .
[0012]
Methods for treating these surfactants are not particularly limited as long as they can be controlled and processed on each side of the nonwoven fabric using a gravure method, a flexo method, a roll coating method such as a gate roll method, or a spray coating method. is not. As a drying method, a method of drying with hot air and infrared rays, a method of drying by contacting with a heat source, or the like may be used.
[0013]
The fiber of the nonwoven fabric referred to in the present invention is a polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene or other polymer that can be melt-spun and is obtained by a known method, and is obtained by mixing two or more of these polymers. There may be.
[0014]
Basis weight of the nonwoven fabric used in the present invention, the mass per unit area measured by JIS L 1906 of (g / m 2) is defined as mass per unit area in the range of 10 to 50 g / m 2. When the basis weight exceeds 50 g / m 2 , the nonwoven fabric becomes too thick and the bending rigidity and the like increase, which is not preferable as a surface material for sanitary materials. On the other hand, if the basis weight is less than 10 g / m 2 , the strength of the nonwoven fabric tends to be too low to make it difficult to manufacture.
[0015]
The fineness of the nonwoven fabric fiber used in the present invention is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 denier. When the fineness of the fiber exceeds 10 denier, the bending stiffness of the nonwoven fabric itself is increased, which is not preferable as a surface material for sanitary materials. Conversely, when the fineness is less than 1 denier, the production tends to be difficult.
[0016]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. In addition, the measuring method of the nonwoven fabric obtained in the following Examples and Comparative Examples is as follows.

2 ... There is a lot of stickiness, and the feeling of sarat is bad. 1 ... There is a feeling of stickiness, and the feeling of sarat is also very bad.
[0019]
A 2 cm × 2 cm non-woven fabric coated with a skin-irritating surfactant was applied to the inside of the upper arm of an adult, and the condition of rough skin after 24 hours was observed by 20 monitors. Evaluation was performed in the following three stages.
○: The skin is not seen red in 90% or more of the monitor.
Δ: Skin is not seen red in 50% or more of the monitor.
×: The skin was seen red in 90% or more of the monitor.
[0020]
Example 1
Using a polypropylene spunbonded nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 , a surfactant mainly composed of alkylsulfosuccinate was applied on one side of the nonwoven fabric by 0.5% by weight and on the opposite side by 0.1% by weight. The processing method of surfactant was processed using gravure coating and dried with a hot air dryer at 120 ° C. In this way, a nonwoven fabric treated with the surfactant was obtained.
[0021]

[0022]
Example 3
A nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 2.0% by weight was applied to one side of the nonwoven fabric and 0.5% by weight was applied to the opposite side.
[0023]
Comparative Example 1
A nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 0.5% by weight was applied only to one side of the nonwoven fabric (the opposite side was 0% by weight).
[0024]
Comparative Example 2
A nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 5.0% by weight was applied to one side of the nonwoven fabric and 0.5% by weight was applied to the opposite side.
[0025]
Comparative Example 3
A nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 0.02 wt% was applied to one side of the nonwoven fabric and 0.01 wt% was applied to the opposite side.
[0026]
Comparative Example 4
A nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 2.0% by weight was applied to one side of the nonwoven fabric and 2.0% by weight was applied to the opposite side.
[0027]

[Table 1]
Figure 0003823501
[0028]
As is apparent from Table 1, according to the present invention, a specific amount of surfactant on one side of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric is attached, and the surfactant to be treated is attached to the opposite surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric. By the amount being different, the water permeability, the touch and the skin irritation are extremely excellent (Examples 1 to 3).
[0029]
On the other hand, when the adhesion amount of the surfactant is 0 (Comparative Example 1) or when it is small (Comparative Examples 3 and 4), the drainage does not permeate the absorber because the water permeability is 0, and the sanitary material Not suitable for. Moreover, when there is much adhesion amount of surfactant (comparative example 2), since touch property and skin irritation are bad, it is not suitable for a sanitary material.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has an effect of providing a nonwoven fabric excellent in water permeability, touch and skin irritation by simple application amount control.
