Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a bulky nonwoven fabric having a specific porosity and nonwoven fabric strength by laminating a web containing a heat-bonding conjugate fiber to a net body made of a filament in which a low melting point component forms a part of fiber surface, subjecting the laminated sheet to heat treatment without pressing to integrate the web with the net body. CONSTITUTION: This bulky nonwoven fabric is obtained by laminating a web containing >=15 wt.% heat-bonding conjugate fiber (composed of a high-melting polymer and a low melting point polymer having melting point lower by >=15 deg.C than that of the heat-bonding conjugate fiber and the low-melting point polymer forms at least a part of fiber surface continuously in length direction of fiber) to a conjugate net-like body. The filament constituting the conjugate net-like body has 100-1,000 denier fineness and the low melting point polymer of the heat-bonding conjugate fiber continuously forms at least a part of fiber surface in length direction of the fiber. The laminated sheet of the web with the net-like body is heat-treated without pressing at a temperature higher than melting point of the low melting point polymer and lower than any melting point of high melting point component constituting the high melting point polymer.

The laminate obtained by laminating the web containing the heat-adhesive conjugate fibers and the composite net is heat-treated without applying pressure thereto. Laminations can be individual layers or multiple layers of webs and composite nets. The heat treatment is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the low-melting point polymer (low-melting point component that makes up the composite net) that makes up the heat-adhesive composite fibers, and at a temperature that is equal to or higher than the melting point of the high-melting polymer that makes up the heat-adhesive composite fibers and the composite net. It is carried out at a temperature lower than any of the melting points of the high melting point components. By using such a temperature, the thermoadhesive composite fibers maintain their shape and fix the contact points between fibers in the web by fusing the low melting point polymer, and also maintain the same low melting point as the composite net. Due to the fusion of polymers, it is firmly fused without being pressed. As a means for carrying out such heat treatment, a hot air circulation heating furnace can be used, and among them, a suction dryer is preferably used because it enables high-speed continuous treatment.
