Description

本発明は、発泡成形品の補強布に用いられる不織布に関するものであり、特に車両用座席に用いられるシートパッドを補強するための発泡成形品補強用不織布(以下、「補強用不織布」という場合がある。)及びそれを用いた製品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric used as a reinforcing fabric for foam molded products, and in particular, a nonwoven fabric for reinforcing foam molded products (hereinafter referred to as “reinforcing nonwoven fabric”) for reinforcing a seat pad used for a vehicle seat. And a product using the same.

車両用座席材として、発泡樹脂成形品(以下、「発泡成形品」という)の成形時に補強用不織布を一体化したものが用いられている。この補強用不織布は、発泡樹脂と金属スプリングとの間に位置し、金属スプリングのクッション作用を均等化すると共に、金属スプリングと発泡成形品との接触によって発生する摩擦音を防ぐ機能を有するものである。例えば、特許文献1には、空隙率が異なる長繊維不織布層、すなわち嵩高層と緻密層とを積層した補強用不織布が記載されている。この補強用不織布では、発泡成形品を成形する際、発泡性樹脂の滲み出しを緻密層で防ごうとするものである。   As a vehicle seat material, a reinforcing nonwoven fabric integrated with a foamed resin molded product (hereinafter referred to as “foam molded product”) is used. This reinforcing non-woven fabric is located between the foam resin and the metal spring, and has a function of equalizing the cushioning action of the metal spring and preventing frictional noise generated by contact between the metal spring and the foam molded product. . For example, Patent Document 1 describes a reinforcing nonwoven fabric in which long fiber nonwoven fabric layers having different porosity, that is, a bulky layer and a dense layer are laminated. In this reinforcing nonwoven fabric, when a foamed molded product is molded, it is intended to prevent bleeding of the foamable resin with a dense layer.

近年、消費者の要求品質が高まるにつれて、意匠性が高い深絞りタイプの発泡成形品が求められるようになってきた。ところが、特許文献1に記載された補強用不織布を深絞りタイプの発泡成形品に用いると、補強用不織布の金型追随性が劣るため、皺や浮き上がり等に起因した局所的な破れが発生し、この破れを通して発泡性樹脂が補強用不織布の嵩高層表面に滲み出してくるという問題があった。   In recent years, as the quality required by consumers has increased, a deep-drawing type foam molded product having a high design has come to be demanded. However, when the reinforcing non-woven fabric described in Patent Document 1 is used for a deep-drawing type foam molded article, the follow-up property of the reinforcing non-woven fabric is inferior, resulting in local tearing due to wrinkles or lifting. There was a problem that the foamable resin oozes out to the bulky layer surface of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric through this tearing.

かかる問題を回避するために、特許文献2には、緻密層と基材層とからなり、65℃での5%伸長時応力が0.5〜20N/5cm、かつ通気度が400cm3/cm2・sec以下である補強用不織布が記載されている。特許文献2に記載された補強用不織布は、金型追随性は良好であるが、発泡性樹脂の種類によっては、成形時に不織布表面への発泡性樹脂の滲み出しが起こることがあり、さらに裁断・縫製工程での補強用不織布の寸法安定性が悪いという問題があった。 In order to avoid such a problem, Patent Document 2 includes a dense layer and a base material layer, a stress at 5% elongation at 65 ° C. of 0.5 to 20 N / 5 cm, and an air permeability of 400 cm 3 / cm. A reinforcing nonwoven fabric of 2 · sec or less is described. The reinforcing nonwoven fabric described in Patent Document 2 has good mold followability, but depending on the type of foamable resin, the foamable resin may ooze out to the nonwoven fabric surface during molding, and further cut -There was a problem that the dimensional stability of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric in the sewing process was poor.

また、特許文献3には、5%伸長時応力を18N/5cm以上に高めた補強用不織布が記載されている。特許文献3に記載された補強用不織布は、裁断・縫製工程での寸法安定性が良好である反面、深絞りタイプの金型への追随性が悪いという問題があった。   Patent Document 3 describes a reinforcing nonwoven fabric in which the stress at 5% elongation is increased to 18 N / 5 cm or more. The reinforcing nonwoven fabric described in Patent Literature 3 has good dimensional stability in the cutting and sewing process, but has a problem of poor followability to a deep drawing type mold.

従来の補強用不織布として、発泡成形品において発泡性樹脂の滲み出しがなく、仕上がり形状が良好で、擦過音、屈曲音、屈折音などを制音する機能に優れる、という基本特性に加え、発泡成形時の金型追随性に優れるという特性を持つ不織布は知られている。   In addition to the basic characteristics of conventional reinforcing non-woven fabrics, there is no exudation of foaming resin in foamed molded products, the finished shape is good, and the function of suppressing scratching sound, bending sound, refraction sound, etc. is excellent. Nonwoven fabrics having the property of being excellent in mold followability during molding are known.

しかし、シートパッドを発泡成形する前の工程である発泡成形品の形状に補強用不織布を裁断・縫製する工程において、ロール状に巻回された補強用不織布を引き出して裁断する作業時に、発泡成形時の金型追従性を満足させるため不織布に過度な柔軟性を付与すると、引き出し時の加工張力により補強用不織布が変形し、作業性が低下するという問題を有するものであった。   However, in the process of cutting and sewing the reinforcing non-woven fabric into the shape of the foam-molded product, which is the process before foam-molding the seat pad, foam molding during the work of pulling out and cutting the reinforcing non-woven fabric wound in a roll shape If excessive flexibility is imparted to the nonwoven fabric in order to satisfy the mold following capability, there is a problem that the reinforcing nonwoven fabric is deformed by the processing tension at the time of drawing and the workability is lowered.

そこで、本発明は、発泡成形時の金型追随性に優れると共に、裁断・縫製工程における加工張力による補強用不織布の変形を抑制した補強用不織布を提供することを目的とする。さらに、発泡成形時の発泡性樹脂の滲み出しがなく、発泡成形品の仕上がり形状が良好であり、擦過音、屈曲音、屈折音などを制音する機能に優れた補強用不織布を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a reinforcing nonwoven fabric that is excellent in mold followability at the time of foam molding and suppresses deformation of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric due to processing tension in the cutting and sewing processes. Furthermore, the present invention provides a reinforcing nonwoven fabric that has no exudation of foamable resin during foam molding, has a good finished shape of the foam molded product, and has an excellent function of suppressing scratching sound, bending sound, refraction sound, etc. With the goal.

本発明者らは上記課題を解決するため、鋭意検討した結果、以下の本発明に到達した。
(1)見掛け密度の異なる2層の長繊維不織布が積層された不織布であって、目付が50〜110g/m2、厚みが0.5〜1.2mm、縦方向の5%伸長時応力が23〜50N/5cm、横方向の5%伸長時応力が15N/5cm以下、通気度が50〜250cm3/cm2・secであることを特徴とするものである。

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have reached the following present invention.
(1) A nonwoven fabric in which two layers of long-fiber nonwoven fabrics having different apparent densities are laminated, having a basis weight of 50 to 110 g / m 2 , a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 mm, and a longitudinal stress of 5% elongation. The stress is 23 to 50 N / 5 cm, the 5% elongation stress in the lateral direction is 15 N / 5 cm or less, and the air permeability is 50 to 250 cm 3 / cm 2 · sec.

(5) Of the two-layer long fiber nonwoven fabrics having different apparent densities, it is preferable to dispose the long fiber nonwoven fabric having the higher apparent density on the foam side of the foam molded product.

本発明の補強用不織布を用いると、発泡成形品において発泡性樹脂の滲み出しがなく、発泡成形品と座席の金属スプリングとの間の摩擦によって発生する擦過音の制音性に優れたものとなる。また、本発明の補強用不織布は柔軟性を有しており、発泡成形時の金型追随性に優れ、裁断・縫製工程における補強用不織布の引き出し時の作業性が改善される。本発明の補強用不織布は比較的軽量なため、軽量で高品位な発泡成形品を安価に製造でき、その発泡成形品を用いた車両も安価に軽量化でき、車両運用上での省エネルギー化にも寄与できる。   When the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is used, there is no exudation of the foamable resin in the foamed molded product, and it is excellent in the suppression of scratching noise generated by friction between the foamed molded product and the metal spring of the seat. Become. In addition, the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention has flexibility, is excellent in mold followability during foam molding, and improves workability when the reinforcing nonwoven fabric is pulled out in the cutting and sewing process. Since the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is relatively lightweight, a lightweight and high-quality foam molded product can be manufactured at low cost, and a vehicle using the foam molded product can also be reduced in weight at low cost, saving energy in vehicle operation. Can also contribute.

本発明の補強用不織布は、見掛け密度の異なる2層の長繊維不織布が積層された不織布である。見掛け密度の異なる長繊維不織布のうち、見掛け密度が高い不織布からなる層(以下、「緻密層」という。)は、発泡体と接する層であり、形態保持機能、発泡成形時の発泡性樹脂遮断機能、及び裁断・縫製工程の取り扱い性の向上に寄与する層である。一方、見掛け密度が低い不織布からなる層(以下、「嵩高層」という。)は、座席の金属スプリングと接する層であり、擦過音、屈曲音、屈折音などを制音し、耐磨耗耐久性機能の付与に寄与する層である。   The reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is a nonwoven fabric in which two layers of long fiber nonwoven fabrics having different apparent densities are laminated. Among long-fiber non-woven fabrics having different apparent densities, a layer made of non-woven fabric having a high apparent density (hereinafter referred to as a “dense layer”) is a layer in contact with the foam and has a form-retaining function and a foam-resistant resin barrier during foam molding. It is a layer that contributes to improving the function and handling of the cutting and sewing processes. On the other hand, a layer made of non-woven fabric with a low apparent density (hereinafter referred to as “bulky layer”) is a layer in contact with the metal spring of the seat and suppresses scratching sound, bending sound, refraction sound, etc., and wear resistance and durability. This layer contributes to the provision of sexual function.

本発明の補強用不織布は、緻密層及び嵩高層で構成される。発泡成形品の発泡体と接する緻密層は、裁断工程の不織布の引き出し作業時における不織布の繊維配列方向の伸びを抑制し、発泡成形時の金型追随性を向上させる力学特性になるように繊維の配列を改良した長繊維不織布であり、さらに、発泡性樹脂遮断機能を有する長繊維不織布である。   The reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is composed of a dense layer and a bulky layer. The dense layer that is in contact with the foam of the foam-molded product suppresses the elongation in the fiber array direction of the nonwoven fabric during the drawing operation of the nonwoven fabric in the cutting process, and the fibers have mechanical properties that improve the mold followability during foam molding. Is a long-fiber nonwoven fabric having an improved arrangement, and further a long-fiber nonwoven fabric having a foaming resin blocking function.

他方の座席の金属スプリングと接する嵩高層は、擦過音、屈曲音、屈折音などを制音する機能、及び耐磨耗耐久性機能を有し、補強用不織布に柔軟性を付与する長繊維不織布である。   The bulky layer in contact with the metal spring of the other seat has a function of suppressing scratching sound, bending sound, refraction sound, and the like, and a wear-resistant durability function, and a long-fiber nonwoven fabric that imparts flexibility to the reinforcing nonwoven fabric It is.

そして、これら緻密層と嵩高層とを交絡接合して、緻密層の表面に嵩高層の長繊維不織布を構成する繊維が突出した構造(以下、「突出繊維構造」という。)を形成した補強用不織布とする。その結果、補強用不織布は、柔軟化して優れた金型追随性を有し、発泡成形の際には、突出繊維構造のアンカー効果で発泡成形品全体が一体化するので耐久性も向上した発泡成形品を得ることができる。この補強用不織布は、低伸度域での伸長応力を高くして伸びを抑制することで、不織布引出し作業時の取り扱い性を著しく向上させることができる上に、成形性、制音性、耐久性にも優れている。   The dense layer and the bulky layer are entangled and joined to form a structure in which the fibers constituting the bulky nonwoven fabric of the bulky layer protrude on the surface of the dense layer (hereinafter referred to as “protruded fiber structure”). Use non-woven fabric. As a result, the non-woven fabric for reinforcement is softened and has excellent mold followability. During foam molding, the entire foam molded product is integrated by the anchor effect of the protruding fiber structure, so that the foam is also improved in durability. A molded product can be obtained. This reinforcing nonwoven fabric can significantly improve the handleability during drawing out of the nonwoven fabric by suppressing the elongation by increasing the elongation stress in the low elongation range, as well as formability, sound damping and durability. Also excellent in properties.

本発明の補強用不織布の目付は、50〜110g/m2であり、好ましくは、60〜100g/m2である。目付が50g/m2未満では、力学特性が低くなり補強機能が不充分になる場合がある。また、発泡性樹脂の遮断機能が低下して滲み出しを発生する場合がある。目付が110g/m2を超えると、車両の軽量化を阻害する問題がある。 The basis weight of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is 50 to 110 g / m 2 , and preferably 60 to 100 g / m 2 . If the basis weight is less than 50 g / m 2 , the mechanical properties may be low and the reinforcing function may be insufficient. In addition, the blocking function of the foamable resin may be reduced and bleeding may occur. When the basis weight exceeds 110 g / m 2 , there is a problem that hinders weight reduction of the vehicle.

本発明の補強用不織布の厚みは、0.5〜1.2mmであり、好ましくは、0.6〜1.0mmである。厚みが0.5mm未満では、発泡性樹脂の遮断機能が低下して滲み出しが発生する場合がある。厚みが1.2mmを超えると、発泡成形時の金型追随性が悪化し、成形不良となる場合がある。   The reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 mm, preferably 0.6 to 1.0 mm. If the thickness is less than 0.5 mm, the blocking function of the foamable resin may be reduced and bleeding may occur. If the thickness exceeds 1.2 mm, mold followability at the time of foam molding is deteriorated, which may result in molding failure.

本発明の補強用不織布は、縦方向の5%伸長時応力が23〜50N/5cm、横方向の5%伸長時応力が15N/5cm以下である。   The reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a longitudinal stress of 5% elongation of 23 to 50 N / 5 cm and a transverse stress of 5% elongation of 15 N / 5 cm or less.

裁断工程の引き出し張力による不織布の変形を防止して裁断性を向上させ、発泡成形時の金型追随性を向上させるため、補強用不織布の縦方向の5%伸長時応力は23〜50N/5cmであり、好ましくは30〜45N/5cmである。23N/5cm未満では、裁断・縫製工程での不織布の引出し張力で不織布が変形してしまい、作業性が低下し、ひいては安定した裁断や金型へのセッティングができなくなる場合がある。50N/5cmを超えると、発泡成形加工時に金型追随性が低下し、仕上がり形状不良や破れ、皺などを生じる。   In order to prevent the deformation of the nonwoven fabric due to the pulling tension in the cutting process and improve the cutting property, and to improve the mold followability at the time of foam molding, the stress at the time of 5% elongation in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric is 23 to 50 N / 5 cm. And preferably 30 to 45 N / 5 cm. If it is less than 23 N / 5 cm, the nonwoven fabric is deformed by the pulling tension of the nonwoven fabric in the cutting / sewing process, the workability is lowered, and as a result, stable cutting or setting to the mold may not be possible. If it exceeds 50 N / 5 cm, the mold followability is reduced during foam molding, resulting in a finished shape defect, tearing, wrinkles and the like.

本発明の補強用不織布は、長繊維不織布の繊維配列を縦方向に揃えると、縦方向の5%伸長時応力は高くなり、横方向の5%伸長時応力は低くなる。しかし、所望の縦方向の5%伸長時応力を付与する場合でも、補強用不織布の横方向の5%伸長時応力が少なくとも5N/5cm以上でないと加工性不良となる場合がある。よって、少なくとも見掛け密度が高い方の長繊維不織布を製造する際、繊維配列を引取りコンベアネットのエンドレス方向(以下、「エンドレス方向」という。)から5°〜60°傾斜させることが好ましく、10°〜30°傾斜させることがより好ましい。なお、繊維配列角度の測定方法は、任意の5箇所で、繊維100本の配列角度を測定して、その角度の平均値を繊維配列角度とする。不織布の縦方向(MD方向)に全ての繊維が配列した場合、繊維配列角度は0°となり、不織布の横方向(TD方向)に全ての繊維が配列した場合、繊維配列角度は90°となる。   In the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention, when the fiber arrangement of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric is aligned in the longitudinal direction, the stress at 5% elongation in the longitudinal direction increases and the stress at 5% elongation in the transverse direction decreases. However, even when a desired stress in the 5% elongation in the longitudinal direction is applied, if the stress in the 5% elongation in the transverse direction of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric is not at least 5 N / 5 cm or more, workability may be deteriorated. Therefore, when producing a long-fiber nonwoven fabric having a higher apparent density, it is preferable to incline the fiber array by 5 ° to 60 ° from the endless direction of the take-up conveyor net (hereinafter referred to as “endless direction”). It is more preferable to incline by 30 °. In addition, the measuring method of a fiber arrangement | positioning angle measures the arrangement | sequence angle of 100 fibers in arbitrary 5 places, and makes the average value of the angle the fiber arrangement | positioning angle. When all the fibers are arranged in the longitudinal direction (MD direction) of the nonwoven fabric, the fiber arrangement angle is 0 °, and when all the fibers are arranged in the transverse direction (TD direction) of the nonwoven fabric, the fiber arrangement angle is 90 °. .

好ましい繊維配列角度を有する長繊維不織布は、以下の製造方法で得ることができる。長繊維不織布の製造過程において、牽引流体及び同伴流(以下、併せて「随伴流」という。)と共に流下して伸長固化された長繊維を、エンドレス方向から10°〜30°傾斜させて配列させるために、引き取りコンベアネット表面において、コンベアネットの幅方向への随伴流、及びコンベアネットを突き抜ける方向(以下、「垂直方向」という。)への随伴流を抑制して、エンドレス方向への随伴流をやや多く流れるようにする。その結果、繊維はエンドレス方向に多く配列されるようになる。随伴流の調整方法としては、コンベアネットの幅方向端部に随伴流規制板を設置すること、垂直方向は随伴流の吸引風速を小さくすることなどが挙げられる。これにより、繊維配列角度の調整が可能となる。例えば、コンベアネット端部に数cmの随伴流規制板を設け、サクション吸引風速を3.0〜9.0m/秒まで低減させると、繊維配列角度が20〜28°である長繊維不織布が得られる。なお、随伴流規制板として、パンチングメタルや金網等が使用できる。   A long fiber nonwoven fabric having a preferred fiber arrangement angle can be obtained by the following production method. In the production process of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric, the long fibers that have flowed down and solidified along with the traction fluid and the accompanying flow (hereinafter also referred to as “associated flow”) are aligned at an angle of 10 ° to 30 ° from the endless direction. Therefore, on the surface of the take-up conveyor net, the accompanying flow in the width direction of the conveyor net and the accompanying flow in the direction penetrating the conveyor net (hereinafter referred to as “vertical direction”) are suppressed, and the accompanying flow in the endless direction is suppressed. To make it flow a little. As a result, many fibers are arranged in the endless direction. Examples of the method for adjusting the accompanying flow include installing an accompanying flow regulating plate at the end of the conveyor net in the width direction, and reducing the suction wind speed of the accompanying flow in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to adjust the fiber arrangement angle. For example, when a concomitant flow regulating plate of several centimeters is provided at the end of the conveyor net and the suction suction air speed is reduced to 3.0 to 9.0 m / sec, a long fiber nonwoven fabric having a fiber arrangement angle of 20 to 28 ° is obtained. It is done. In addition, a punching metal, a wire mesh, etc. can be used as an accompanying flow control board.

本発明の補強用不織布の横方向の5%伸長時応力は15N/5cm以下であり、好ましくは5〜14N/5cmであり、より好ましくは8〜12N/5cmである。15N/5cmを超えると、金型追随性が悪くなるため、仕上がり形状が悪くなる場合がある。5N/5cm未満となると、裁断・縫製工程で横方向に張力が掛かると伸びて変形したり、発泡成形時の金型追随性が縦横方向で大きく異なってしまうため、成形品の仕上がり形状が悪くなったり、不織布が破れたりする場合がある。   The 5% elongation stress in the transverse direction of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention is 15 N / 5 cm or less, preferably 5 to 14 N / 5 cm, more preferably 8 to 12 N / 5 cm. If it exceeds 15 N / 5 cm, the mold followability will deteriorate, and the finished shape may deteriorate. If it is less than 5N / 5cm, it will stretch and deform when the tension is applied in the horizontal direction in the cutting and sewing process, and the mold following at the time of foaming will vary greatly in the vertical and horizontal directions, so the finished shape of the molded product will be poor. Or the nonwoven fabric may be torn.

本発明の補強用不織布を構成する緻密層及び嵩高層のうち、緻密層は繊維を縦方向により配列させた、すなわち繊維配列角度が小さい長繊維不織布であることが好ましい。一方、嵩高層は、補強用不織布が低目付である場合、繊維配列角度は特には限定されないが、補強用不織布が高目付である場合、補強用不織布の横方向の5%伸長時応力が大きくなりすぎないようにするためにも、嵩高層も緻密層と同様に繊維配列角度が小さい長繊維不織布であることが好ましい。補強用不織布が高目付である場合は、嵩高層も高目付である場合が多く、その場合には繊維を縦方向に近い方向に多く配列させた長繊維不織布を使用しないと、得られる補強用不織布の横方向の5%伸長時応力を15N/5cm以下とすることが困難になるからである。   Of the dense layer and the bulky layer constituting the reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention, the dense layer is preferably a long fiber nonwoven fabric in which fibers are arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is, the fiber arrangement angle is small. On the other hand, in the bulky layer, when the reinforcing nonwoven fabric has a low basis weight, the fiber arrangement angle is not particularly limited, but when the reinforcing nonwoven fabric has a high basis weight, the stress at the time of 5% elongation in the lateral direction of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric is large. In order not to become too much, the bulky layer is preferably a long-fiber non-woven fabric having a small fiber arrangement angle like the dense layer. When the reinforcing nonwoven fabric has a high basis weight, the bulky layer also often has a high basis weight, and in that case, if the long fiber nonwoven fabric in which many fibers are arranged in the direction close to the longitudinal direction is not used, the resulting reinforcing reinforcement This is because it becomes difficult to set the stress at 5% elongation in the transverse direction of the nonwoven fabric to 15 N / 5 cm or less.

本発明の補強用不織布は、縦方向の5%伸長時応力と横方向の5%伸長時応力との比(縦方向の5%伸長時応力÷横方向の5%伸長時応力)は、2.2以上が好ましく、3〜14がより好ましく、4〜7が最も好ましい。縦方向の5%伸長時応力と横方向の5%伸長時応力の比が2.2未満では、繊維配列がランダム構造となり、縦方向の5%伸長時応力が低くなり、裁断・縫製工程での寸法安定性が劣る場合がある。縦方向の5%伸長時応力と横方向の5%伸長時応力の比が14を超えると、繊維配列が直列化し過ぎて、横方向の5%伸長時応力が低くなり、低応力で横伸びし易くなり、金型追随性が縦横方向で大きく異なってしまうため、成形品の仕上がり形状が悪くなる場合がある。また、横方向の伸び変形による破れが生じる場合もある。   The reinforcing nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a ratio of 5% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction to 5% elongation stress in the transverse direction (5% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction ÷ 5% elongation stress in the transverse direction). .2 or more is preferable, 3 to 14 is more preferable, and 4 to 7 is most preferable. If the ratio of 5% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction to 5% elongation stress in the transverse direction is less than 2.2, the fiber arrangement becomes a random structure, and the 5% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction becomes low. The dimensional stability of may be inferior. If the ratio of the 5% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction to the stress in the 5% elongation in the transverse direction exceeds 14, the fiber arrangement becomes too serial, the stress at 5% elongation in the transverse direction becomes low, and the lateral elongation occurs at a low stress. Since the mold followability is greatly different in the vertical and horizontal directions, the finished shape of the molded product may be deteriorated. Moreover, the tear by lateral elongation deformation may arise.

本発明で緻密層と嵩高層との交絡処理方法は、特には限定されないが、緻密層の表面に好ましい突出繊維構造の形成を調整できるニードルパンチにて交絡処理を行うことが好ましい。ニードルパンチによる積層交絡処理において、突出繊維構造を形成するには、針密度が30〜300本/cm2であることが好ましい。また、ニードルパンチの突出繊維構造の形成程度は、針の貫入具合に依存する。針の貫入具合としてはニードルの第1バーブが不織布に貫入する深度を9〜12mmに設定することが好ましい。貫入する深度が9mm未満では、好ましい突出繊維構造を形成しにくくなり、貫入する深度が12mmを超えると開孔径が大きくなって、発泡成形工程で発泡性樹脂が滲み出すことがある。 In the present invention, the entanglement treatment method between the dense layer and the bulky layer is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to perform the entanglement treatment with a needle punch that can adjust the formation of a preferable protruding fiber structure on the surface of the dense layer. In the lamination entanglement process by the needle punch, the needle density is preferably 30 to 300 / cm 2 in order to form the protruding fiber structure. Further, the degree of formation of the protruding fiber structure of the needle punch depends on the penetration of the needle. As the penetration of the needle, it is preferable to set the depth at which the first barb of the needle penetrates the nonwoven fabric to 9 to 12 mm. When the depth of penetration is less than 9 mm, it is difficult to form a preferable protruding fiber structure. When the depth of penetration exceeds 12 mm, the pore diameter becomes large, and the foamable resin may ooze out in the foam molding step.

本発明の緻密層は、目付が20〜80g/m2、厚みが0.2〜0.8mmの長繊維不織布であることが好ましく、目付が30〜70g/m2、厚みが0.3〜0.6mmの長繊維不織布であることがより好ましい。目付が低くても引張強力や破裂強力が高ければ、発泡成形時の発泡性樹脂遮断機能が大きく向上する。
さらに、緻密層は、その発泡体面側に、嵩高層である長繊維不織布を構成する繊維を交絡接合させることで形成した突出繊維構造を有することが好ましい。この突出繊維構造によって、発泡性樹脂の遮蔽機能を維持しながら、交絡処理を行うことで長繊維不織布自体を柔軟化できるため、均一な変形が可能な金型追随性を補強用不織布に付与することが可能となる。また、突出繊維構造を発泡体中に埋没させることで補強用不織布と発泡体とが強固に一体化するアンカー効果が発揮される。
Dense layer of the present invention preferably has a basis weight of a long fiber nonwoven fabric of 20 to 80 g / m 2, thickness 0.2 to 0.8 mm, a basis weight of 30~70g / m 2, 0.3~ thickness A 0.6 mm long fiber nonwoven fabric is more preferable. Even if the basis weight is low, if the tensile strength or bursting strength is high, the foaming resin blocking function at the time of foam molding is greatly improved.
Furthermore, it is preferable that the dense layer has a protruding fiber structure formed by tangling and joining the fibers constituting the bulky nonwoven fabric that is a bulky layer on the foam surface side. With this protruding fiber structure, the long-fiber nonwoven fabric itself can be softened by performing the entanglement process while maintaining the shielding function of the foamable resin, so that a mold followability capable of uniform deformation is imparted to the reinforcing nonwoven fabric. It becomes possible. In addition, by embedding the protruding fiber structure in the foam, an anchor effect is achieved in which the reinforcing nonwoven fabric and the foam are firmly integrated.

緻密層が短繊維不織布層であれば、繊維の連続性が無いため、低目付での力学特性が劣り、成形時の金型追随性が局所的に異なるため、変形破れを生じやすく好ましくない。   If the dense layer is a short fiber nonwoven fabric layer, there is no fiber continuity, so that the mechanical properties at a low basis weight are inferior, and the mold followability at the time of molding is locally different.

緻密層の長繊維不織布は、発泡成形時に発泡性樹脂の補強用不織布表面への漏れを遮断する遮断層として機能させる必要性から、独立したドット状部分圧着部を有することが好ましい。緻密層と嵩高層との交絡処理後は、緻密層も柔軟化されている。これは、成形加工時の金型追随性の確保、発泡時のガス抜け性の維持、及び成形品の浮き上がりの防止にも役立つ。緻密層の長繊維不織布に独立したドット状部分圧着部を形成することで、独立した圧着繊維集合部が構成長繊維を強固に固定する接合点として働く構造固定効果が発現する。ドット状部分圧着部以外のフラット化された部分は、緻密層に遮断層効果を付与している。この結果、緻密層は、適度な通気性を有しており、発泡成形による変形に、容易に追随できる機能と脱気機能とを有している。   The long-fiber nonwoven fabric of the dense layer preferably has an independent dot-shaped partial crimping portion because it needs to function as a blocking layer that blocks leakage of the foamable resin to the reinforcing nonwoven fabric surface during foam molding. After the entanglement treatment of the dense layer and the bulky layer, the dense layer is also softened. This also helps to ensure mold followability at the time of molding, maintain gas release properties at the time of foaming, and prevent the lift of the molded product. By forming an independent dot-like partial crimping part on the long-fiber nonwoven fabric of the dense layer, a structure fixing effect is achieved in which the independent crimping fiber assembly part acts as a joining point for firmly fixing the constituent long fibers. The flattened portion other than the dot-shaped partial pressure-bonding portion imparts a blocking layer effect to the dense layer. As a result, the dense layer has appropriate air permeability and has a function that can easily follow deformation caused by foaming and a deaeration function.

緻密層の長繊維不織布に圧着処理を行わない場合は、不織布強度の低下により破裂強力が低下すると共に、発泡性樹脂の遮断機能が低下し、発泡性樹脂の滲み出しを生じることがある。   When the compression treatment is not performed on the long-fiber nonwoven fabric of the dense layer, the bursting strength is lowered due to the reduction in the strength of the nonwoven fabric, the blocking function of the foamable resin is lowered, and the foamable resin may ooze out.

また、圧着処理が長繊維不織布の表面全面に形成されている場合は、交絡処理により、緻密層を柔軟化しても、発泡成形時の変形性が劣り、通気性が低下して、発泡成形工程で発泡成形品が金型から浮き上がることがある。また、圧着部が連続してつながっている場合は、圧着部の厚みと幅により柔軟性が悪くなって、発泡成形時の変形性を損なうことがある。   In addition, when the crimping process is formed on the entire surface of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric, even if the dense layer is softened by the entanglement process, the deformability at the time of foam molding is inferior, the air permeability is lowered, and the foam molding process In some cases, foam molded products may be lifted from the mold. Moreover, when the crimping | compression-bonding part is connected continuously, a softness | flexibility worsens with the thickness and width | variety of a crimping | compression-bonding part, and the deformability at the time of foam molding may be impaired.

緻密層の長繊維不織布の部分圧着部面積率は、特には限定されないが、好ましくは5〜40%、より好ましくは8〜25%、最も好ましくは10〜20%である。5%未満では、力学特性が低下する場合がある。また、発泡性樹脂の遮断機能が不足して発泡性樹脂の滲みだしを生じる場合がある。また、40%を超えると金型追随性が劣る場合がある。   Although the partial crimping | bonding part area ratio of the long fiber nonwoven fabric of a dense layer is not specifically limited, Preferably it is 5 to 40%, More preferably, it is 8 to 25%, Most preferably, it is 10 to 20%. If it is less than 5%, the mechanical properties may deteriorate. In addition, the foaming resin may have insufficient blocking function, and the foaming resin may ooze out. Moreover, when it exceeds 40%, mold followability may be inferior.

長繊維不織布に独立した部分圧着部を形成する方法は、特には限定されない。本発明では、公知の方法、例えば、エンボスローラー加工などが使用される。部分圧着部の形状についても、独立したドットであれば特には限定されないが、好ましくは織目柄、ダイヤ柄、四角柄、亀甲柄、楕円柄、格子柄、水玉柄、丸柄などが例示される。   The method for forming an independent partial crimping portion on the long fiber nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited. In the present invention, a known method such as embossing roller processing is used. The shape of the partial crimping part is not particularly limited as long as it is an independent dot, but preferably a texture pattern, a diamond pattern, a square pattern, a turtle shell pattern, an ellipse pattern, a lattice pattern, a polka dot pattern, a round pattern, etc. are exemplified. The

緻密層において、発泡体と接する面には、突出繊維構造が形成されていることが好ましい。この突出繊維構造を発泡体中に埋没させることにより、発泡体と緻密層とが強固に接合一体化するアンカー効果が発現する。突出繊維構造が形成されていない場合、発泡体と緻密層との接合力が不充分となり、発泡体と補強用不織布とが剥離しやすくなるので好ましくない。   In the dense layer, a protruding fiber structure is preferably formed on the surface in contact with the foam. By embedding this protruding fiber structure in the foam, an anchor effect is produced in which the foam and the dense layer are firmly joined and integrated. When the protruding fiber structure is not formed, the bonding force between the foam and the dense layer becomes insufficient, and the foam and the reinforcing nonwoven fabric are easily peeled off, which is not preferable.

本発明の嵩高層に用いる長繊維不織布の目付、厚みは特には限定されないが、目付が20〜80g/m2、厚みが0.3〜1.0mmであることが好ましく、目付が30〜70g/m2、厚みが0.4〜0.9mmであることがより好ましい。 The basis weight and thickness of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric used for the bulky layer of the present invention are not particularly limited, but the basis weight is preferably 20 to 80 g / m 2 and the thickness is preferably 0.3 to 1.0 mm, and the basis weight is 30 to 70 g. / M 2 and a thickness of 0.4 to 0.9 mm are more preferable.

However, when the reinforcing nonwoven fabric has a high basis weight, the bulky layer is a long-fiber nonwoven fabric having a small fiber arrangement angle as in the case of the dense layer. It is preferable.

When the air permeability is less than 50 cm 3 / cm 2 · sec, the expansion air escape at the time of foam molding becomes non-uniform, and there may be a lack of thickness or resin loss. If it exceeds 250 cm 3 / cm 2 · sec, bleeding may occur due to leakage of the foamable resin.

緻密層および嵩高層に用いる長繊維不織布を構成する繊維の繊度は、特には限定されないが、長繊維不織布の発泡性樹脂遮断機能、補強機能、及びクッション機能を発現させる点から、1.0〜6dtexであることが好ましく、1.5〜4dtexであることがより好ましい。繊維断面は必要に応じて、異形断面や中空断面、異繊度混繊などを選択できる。   The fineness of the fibers constituting the long-fiber nonwoven fabric used for the dense layer and the bulky layer is not particularly limited, but from the point of expressing the foamable resin blocking function, the reinforcing function, and the cushion function of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric. 6 dtex is preferable, and 1.5 to 4 dtex is more preferable.
