The bending resistance of the present invention refers to rigidity (harness, stiffness) or flexibility, according to JIS L 1096A method (45 ° cantilever method), except that the heating element itself was used as a sample. Is. That is, one side of the heating element is placed on the scale base line on a smooth horizontal table having a slope with a 45 ° (degree) at one end. Next, the heating element is slid gently in the direction of the slope by an appropriate method, and when the central point of one end of the heating element contacts the slope, the position of the other end is read on the scale. The bending resistance is indicated by the length (mm) that the heating element has moved. Each of the five heating elements is measured and an average value is obtained. However, it is assumed that the heating unit containing the heat generating composition of the heating element has a moving direction distance of 5 mm or more and a distance in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of 20 mm or more remains on the horizontal table. In addition, the length of the heating element placed on the horizontal table is such that the area crossing the area where the exothermic composition is present or the area where the exothermic composition is present is not linear. It is assumed that you are crossing.
1) Measurement calculation method of bending resistance of heating element having pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (1) The surface of the heating element that does not have the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is placed on a horizontal table and measured.
(2) If the side of the heating element that has the adhesive layer faces the side of the horizontal base and the adhesive layer cannot be measured on the horizontal base, attach a cover to the adhesive layer and place the surface of the adhesive layer side with the cover on the water. Measure on a flat table.
(3) The cover covering the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the heating element with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a bending resistance of 30 mm or less, preferably 20 mm or less, more preferably 10 mm or less, still more preferably 5 mm or less, and / or Or a thickness of 50 μm or less, preferably 25 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm to 25 μm, still more preferably 1 μm to 15 μm, still more preferably 1 μm to 10 μm, or a plastic film that can be wrinkled and wrinkled lightly. Use a soft film with no waist. Examples thereof include wrap films such as polyethylene films, vinylidene chloride films, vinyl chloride films, and roll-shaped plastic bags.
2) Measurement and calculation method of minimum bending resistance For one heating element, place one side on a horizontal table and measure bending resistance in each direction. Next, the other surface is placed on a horizontal table and measured in the same manner to obtain each bending resistance. The smallest value of the bending resistance is set as the minimum bending resistance.
3) As for the bending resistance of the packaging material such as the base material and the covering material, a short 100 mm × longitudinal 200 mm test piece is prepared, and the bending resistance in the longitudinal direction (200 mm direction) is adopted. When a test piece of the above size cannot be produced from the packaging material, a test piece having a size as close to the test piece as possible is produced and measured.

The difference in minimum bending resistance of the present invention is the difference between the minimum bending resistance before heat generation and the bending resistance after heat generation in the direction of minimum bending resistance before heat generation.
That is,
Minimum bending resistance difference = (Minimum bending resistance before heat generation)-(Minimum bending resistance before heat generation)
Bending after heat generation)
It is.
The bending resistance in the direction of the minimum bending resistance after the end of heat generation is to heat the obtained heating element in a normal atmosphere, and when the temperature of the heating element falls below 37 ° C, the use is assumed to be finished. This is the bending resistance of the heating element after the end of heating in the same direction as the minimum bending resistance before heating.

The change in the minimum bending resistance is a value indicating the ratio of the minimum bending resistance after the end of heat generation to the heating element or the heating portion before the heat generation. The minimum bending resistance change is calculated by the following equation.

Minimum bending resistance change (%) = ((B−A) / A) × 100
A: Minimum bending resistance (mm) of the heating element before heat generation
B: The minimum bending resistance (mm) of the heating element after completion of heat generation
1) Ignore heat generation during measurement and measure immediately.
2) The obtained heating element is left in air in a 20 ° C. environment without wind to generate heat. When the heating is finished and the temperature of the heating element becomes equal to the environmental temperature, the heating is finished. The bending resistance of the heating element in the direction showing the minimum bending resistance of the heating element before heating is measured to obtain the minimum bending resistance of the heating element after the end of heating.
Or, it is attached to the body or clothes to generate heat, and after the end of heat generation, measure the bending resistance of the heating element in the direction indicating the minimum bending resistance of the heating element before heat generation, and generate heat after the end of heat generation. Let it be the minimum bending resistance of the body.
3) The measurement direction of the minimum bending resistance of the heating element before heat generation and the measurement direction of the minimum bending resistance of the heating element after completion of heat generation are the same measurement direction.
4) When the minimum bending resistance (A) of the heating element before the heat generation cannot be measured and the minimum bending resistance (B) after the heating is completed can be measured, the minimum stiffness (B) of the heating element after the heating is completed is determined. The longest length of the heating element in the same direction as the direction in which it is present is defined as the minimum bending resistance (A).

The minimum bending resistance is the bending resistance with respect to the minimum bending resistance of the heating element or the heating portion and the total length in the direction, and is calculated by the following equation.
Minimum flexural modulus (%) = (A / L) × 100
A: Minimum bending resistance of heating element or heating part
L: Total length of the heating element or heating part in the direction showing the minimum bending resistance

The maximum bending resistance ratio is a ratio between a direction having the minimum bending resistance of the heating element and a bending resistance in a direction perpendicular to the minimum bending resistance of the heating element. This is an index indicating handleability, and the larger the value, the better the handleability. That is, if it has a structure that is easy to bend in one direction and is difficult to bend in a direction perpendicular to it, directionality occurs in the bending, and the direction that is difficult to bend becomes a column, and the heating element is easily attached to a human body or the like. The maximum bending resistance ratio indicates the ease of handling of the heating element, and the larger the value, the easier the handling.
Maximum stiffness ratio = (C / A)
A: Minimum bending resistance of heating element or heating part
C: The bending resistance in the direction perpendicular to the direction having the minimum bending resistance of the heating element
However, if the maximum bending resistance is too large to be measured, the maximum length in that direction is the bending resistance (C).

  The measurement method is the same when obtaining arbitrary bending resistance and bending resistance change. In the description of each item of the minimum bending resistance, the minimum bending resistance change, and the minimum bending resistance ratio, "Can be removed. In the case of the bending resistance, the character “maximum” of the maximum bending resistance may be removed.

  The method for defining the surplus water value of the exothermic composition of the present invention was determined after 5 minutes after permeating from a cylindrical exothermic composition having a diameter of 29 mm and a height of 20 mm provided on JIS P3801 “Type 2” filter paper. The permeation distance of water or an aqueous solution is measured, and the permeation distance (mm) per unit height (mm) of the exothermic composition is defined as an excess water value.

As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, the method for defining the surplus water value of the exothermic composition uses a surplus water value measuring device 54. This will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a filter paper provided with a reference line.
FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing the measuring apparatus.
FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view showing the operation.
FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view showing the measurement.
FIG. 18 is a plan view showing a filter paper for calculating the surplus water value.
Under an environment of 20 ° C., eight reference lines 41 were written at intervals of 45 ° radially from the center point using the exothermic composition 53 that was a sample adjusted to the environment.
JIS P3801 “Type 2” filter paper 40 (FIG. 14) is placed on a support plate (stainless steel plate or the like) 47, and a length of 150 mm having a cylindrical through hole 43 having a diameter of 29 mm and a height of 20 mm at the center of the filter paper 40. X A measuring plate 42 having a smooth surface of 100 mm in width is placed (FIG. 15), a heat generating composition (sample) 53 is placed in the vicinity of the cylindrical through hole 43, and the filling plate 48 is moved along the measuring plate 42 (FIG. 15). 16) A non-water-absorbing plastic film (70 μm polyethylene film or the like) is filled so as to cover the cylindrical through-hole 43 so that the exothermic composition 53 is filled and the exothermic composition 53 does not cause an exothermic reaction during the measurement. 50, and further, a pressing plate (a stainless steel flat plate having a thickness of 5 mm × a length of 150 mm × a width of 150 mm) 49 is placed thereon (FIG. 17). After holding for 5 minutes, the filter paper 40 is taken out (FIG. 1). ) The water or aqueous solution penetration distance 52 is measured from the radial circle 46 of the cylindrical through-hole having a diameter 44 of 29 mm to the penetration tip of the penetration mark 51 along the radial reference line 41. The distance was read in mm, and the value (mm) obtained by arithmetically averaging the eight permeation distances 52 (m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8) that were read was the height of the cylindrical through-hole ( mm), and then multiply by 100 to obtain a surplus water value. As the surplus water value of the sample, it is preferable to measure three points for the same sample, average the three surplus water values, and use the average value as the surplus water value of the sample. The surplus water value is the present surplus water value of the exothermic composition 53 and is a value that is not related to the total water content of the exothermic composition 53. Further, a diameter circle 46 (dotted circle in FIG. 14) of the cylindrical through hole may be described on the measurement filter paper 40 before the measurement. Line type does not matter.

  The filter paper that can be used in the method for determining the excess water value of the exothermic composition of the present invention is JIS P3801, “1 type”, “2 types”, “3 types”, “4 types”, “5 types A”, “5 types”. Examples of filter papers “B”, “5 types C”, and “6 types” are listed as examples, but there is no limitation as long as the filter paper has a drainage time of 120 seconds / 100 ml or less. JIS P3801 “Type 2” filter paper is preferred. A filter paper having a retained particle diameter of 4 to 6 μm and a drainage time of 70 to 90 seconds / 100 ml can also be used.

  The JIS P3801 “Type 2” filter paper is a filter paper No. manufactured by Toyo Filter Paper Co., Ltd. 2 and filter paper No. manufactured by Nakamura Science Co., Ltd. 2 and Whatman filter paper grade 2 are examples.

  The material of the surplus water measuring device such as the measuring plate is not limited as long as at least the portion that contacts the exothermic composition is non-absorbent, but a metal such as stainless steel, a synthetic resin such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin Examples thereof include minerals such as stones and rocks.

  The surplus water value of the exothermic composition of this invention is a value which can measure the amount of surplus water in the present exothermic composition rapidly. Since the permeation distance of the excess water in the exothermic composition to the filter medium is proportional to the amount of excess water in the exothermic composition and the height or thickness of the exothermic composition, the excess water amount in the exothermic composition at the time of measurement is exothermic. It is the value shown as the surplus water value comprised from the ratio of the osmosis | permeation distance to the filter medium of the surplus water in a composition, and the height of a heat-generating composition.

  The method for defining the excess water value in the exothermic composition of the present invention is a value obtained by quantifying the amount of excess water in the exothermic composition from the height of the exothermic composition and the penetration distance of excess water in the exothermic composition into the filter paper, Regardless of the total amount of water in the exothermic composition, the amount of excess water in the exothermic composition at the time of measurement can be specified, the measurement operation is simple, easy, and can be measured quickly, and in the exothermic composition at the time of measurement This is a method for calculating a new specified amount of surplus water that indicates the amount of surplus water.

  The exothermic composition of the invention having an excess water value defined by the method for defining the excess water value in the exothermic composition of the present invention can predict moldability and exothermicity, and is useful for designing exothermic compositions and heating elements. In addition, even after manufacturing the heating element, by measuring the excess water value of the heating composition in the heating element, the deterioration state of the heating composition and the heating element due to moisture reduction, that is, the heating composition and heating element at that time The health of the heating element can be easily checked. The surplus water value is a practical value with high practicality.

  When the surplus water in the exothermic composition or the mixed composition becomes an appropriate amount, the hydrophilic groups in the components of the composition are hydrated by dipolar interaction or hydrogen bonding, and around the hydrophobic groups. It seems to exist with high structure. As a result, it is estimated that sandy sand is formed, and moldability of the exothermic composition occurs. In some sense, surplus water is a connected substance. In addition to this, there is also water in a state that can be called free water, and if excess water increases, the structure will soften and free water will increase. By using an appropriate amount of surplus water, each component particle is held together by the surface tension of moisture, causing the exothermic composition to form, and the moisture does not substantially function as an air barrier layer. It generates heat upon contact. It is the surplus water value of the present invention that determines an appropriate amount of surplus water.

  The surplus water value is a value obtained by quantifying surplus water, which is the amount of water that can be easily moved or exuded out of the water contained in the exothermic composition, reaction mixture, exothermic mixture, or the like. .

The surplus water value of the exothermic composition of the present invention is such that the surplus water which is water or an aqueous solution that can move in the moisture of the exothermic composition is on the filter paper in a direction perpendicular to the height or thickness direction of the exothermic composition. It is determined by the amount of water or aqueous solution.
Since the water or aqueous solution in which the exothermic composition can move moves in the weight direction and there is filter paper, the exothermic composition moves along the filter paper in a direction perpendicular to the height or thickness direction of the exothermic composition. The surplus water value is shown as a value per unit height.

  Since the penetration of the excess water amount of the exothermic composition into the filter medium or the filter paper is greatly affected by the thickness or height of the exothermic composition, the excess water value of the exothermic composition in the exothermic body of the present invention is the thickness of the exothermic composition. Or a value incorporating the height is adopted.

  The surplus water value of the present invention is a more practical value because the surplus water value indicating the surplus water amount in the exothermic composition can be obtained regardless of the total amount of water in the exothermic composition.
