DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric that is softer than conventional polyolefin fiber nonwoven fabrics and has no paper sound. [Prior Art] Three-dimensional reticular fibers and nonwoven fabrics made of the fibers have been known. In other words, the technology to obtain three-dimensional network fibers is to combine polymers and solvents at high temperatures.
From high pressure conditions, discharge from the nozzle to low temperature and low pressure areas,
A flash spinning technique is known in which fibers are produced by flashing a solvent (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6125/1983).
A nonwoven fabric can be obtained by placing the thus obtained three-dimensional reticular fibers on a wire mesh and then thermally bonding them with a calender roll, embossing roll, etc. This type of nonwoven fabric has excellent strength, lint-free property, and cover. It is used for air mail envelopes, floppy desk sleeves, maps, tags, etc. due to its ring-like properties and light weight. As a nonwoven fabric of this type, a nonwoven fabric made from linear polyethylene under the trade name "Tyvek" (manufactured by EI Dupont Nimours & Company) is known. In addition, in order to use this kind of nonwoven fabric for clothing,
US Pat. No. 3,920,874 discloses a method of obtaining a flexible nonwoven fabric by placing the aforementioned three-dimensional reticulated fibers on a wire mesh, joining them with an embossing roll, and passing the fibers through the nip of a pair of peg rolls. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Although the nonwoven fabric disclosed in U.S. Pat. Since it is hard, it has the problem that when it is bent during use, it produces a rustling sound, that is, a so-called paper ringing phenomenon. An object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventionally known nonwoven fabrics and to provide a polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric that has a soft texture with a low degree of paper ringing even when used mainly for clothing. . [Means for Solving the Problems] The object of the present invention is to achieve an apparent density of 0.15 to 0.30 g/
cm 3 , a pure curve value of 0.01 to 0.06 gcm 2 /cm, and a specific surface area of 5 to 50 m 2 /g. be done. What is the apparent density referred to in the present invention? Peaco stock direct reading digital linear gauge PD-2 type (manufactured by Ozaki Seisakusho)
using the XS-4 adapter (pressure surface 8φ, weight
120g) under a pressure of 2.4g/cm 2 , the average value was divided by the basis weight value, and the value was expressed as weight per unit area (g/cm 3 ). The basis weight mentioned here is 250mm from the obtained nonwoven fabric.
Three samples of ×250 mm were taken, brought to a moisture equilibrium state (20° C., 65%), and then weighed. The average value is the value expressed per unit area (g/m 2 ). In the present invention, the pure bending value is the average value obtained by measuring the sample five times in the vertical and horizontal directions using a pure bending tester (manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd., pure bending tester). The value is expressed in gcm 2 /cm. The specific surface area as used in the present invention is a soap material.
1800 (manufactured by Carlo Erba) and is a value obtained by the nitrogen adsorption method. Its apparent density measured using the measurement method specified above is 0.15-0.30 g/cm 3 and its pure curvature is
0.01~ 0.06gcm2 /cm and specific surface area 5~50m2 /
The polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric according to the present invention, which is No.g, had a soft feel and no so-called paper ringing was observed. In other words, even if you cut the obtained nonwoven fabric into a 180cm x 260cm square (B5 size), hold one end of the sample and swing it from side to side, or hold one end with one hand and flick the nonwoven fabric with the other hand,
The paper ringing sound that would occur if the same process was applied to paper did not occur, but rather the feel was similar to that obtained when the same process was applied to textiles. According to the findings of the present inventors obtained from the results of many experiments, when the nonwoven fabric of the present invention has its apparent density, pure curve value, and specific surface area all within the above-mentioned conditions, that is, when the three requirements are combined. It has a flexible texture and does not produce any noise when filled with paper. Next, a method for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric made of polyrefin fibers fibrillated into a three-dimensional network according to the present invention will be described. Note that the polyolefin as used in the present invention includes polyethylene and polypropylene. Also, the basis weight of the obtained nonwoven fabric is preferably from 20 g/m 2 to 100 g/m 2 in view of the use of the nonwoven fabric of the present invention. First, target polyolefin polymer (polyethylene polymer or polypropylene polymer)
and a solvent are discharged from a nozzle from a high temperature/high pressure condition to a low temperature/low pressure area, and the solution is flashed to obtain polyolein fibers fibrillated into a three-dimensional network. The fibers thus obtained are received on a plate-like or net-like support to form a web. When making a web, it is preferable to apply the flash-spun fibers to a baffle plate or the like to spread and deposit the reticular fibers. Next, the fibers in the web are bonded together by processing with an embossing roller or calender roller. The obtained polyolefin reticulated fiber sheet (hereinafter simply referred to as a sheet) is subjected to high-pressure water jet treatment or water jet kneading treatment generated during operation of a liquid jet dyeing machine, etc. to produce a polyolefin reticulated fiber having a flexible texture according to the present invention. A fibrous nonwoven fabric is obtained. The water jet treatment is performed using, for example, a row of multiple nozzles arranged at 4 mm intervals in the width direction of the sheet (pore diameter 0.1 to 0.3 mm).
mm) in 10 rows in the sheet travel direction (the spacing between each row in the sheet travel direction is 4 mm, and the width is 0.4 mm).
This is carried out by injecting a high-pressure water stream of 30 to 100 kg/cm 2 onto a sheet on a plate-like or wire-mesh-like support from each nozzle of a water injection device arranged in such a manner as to shift the pressure by 30 to 100 kg/cm 2 . The surface of the sheet is sufficiently kneaded within a short period of time by the water jet flow hitting the sheet, and a nonwoven fabric having a soft texture can be obtained. To change the texture, adjust the distance between the nozzle tip and the support surface by e.g. 0.5 depending on the purpose.
You can change it between cm and 10cm. The kneading effect will naturally vary by changing the speed of the support, so if the speed of the support is 50 m/min to 100 m/min.
If the speed is to be increased to m/min, the number of nozzles in the water injection device may be increased. The water jet treatment may be performed on both sides of the sheet at the same time, or separately on each side. When printing or the like is carried out on one side of the sheet, it is preferable to spray water only from one side and use a plate-shaped or fine-mesh screen, for example, 100 mesh, as the support. The water rolling treatment can be carried out using a jet dyeing machine, a washer, or the like. When using a jet dyeing machine, dye under pressure at 40°C to 100°C or higher temperature.
A nonwoven fabric with a sufficiently soft texture can be obtained by processing for 15 to 60 minutes. Preferably, the sheet is processed submerged or submerged in a jet dyer. If the sheet is floating in the liquid, the kneading effect will be poor and the sheet will rub against the device, causing surface staining, which is not preferable. When performing the water rolling process with a washer, the same procedure as in the case of a jet dyeing machine is performed at 40°C to 95°C for 15 min to 60 min.
By the treatment, a nonwoven fabric with a sufficiently soft texture can be obtained. In this case as well, it is preferable to process the sheet in a state where the amount of liquid in the washer is larger than the amount of sheet, in order to increase the rubbing effect and to reduce the occurrence of rubbing by the apparatus. When the nonwoven fabric is softened by the method described above, it is necessary to dry the obtained nonwoven fabric, and the drying temperature is preferably a relatively low temperature of 60°C to 90°C. In order to change the surface flatness of the nonwoven fabric softened by the above-mentioned method or to suppress surface fluff, the nonwoven fabric may be treated with an embossing roll or a flat roll, or with a felt calender. may be applied. However, in order to prevent the flexibility of the nonwoven fabric obtained by these processing from being significantly impaired, it is preferable to carry out the processing at a temperature below the melting point of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. The apparent density of the nonwoven fabric according to the present invention is 0.15-0.30
g/ m2 . apparent density
If it is less than 0.15 g/m 3 , the apparent space is large and it is not possible to prevent fuzz, which is necessary for practical use, and is therefore not preferable. If the apparent density exceeds 0.30 g/m 3 , it becomes paper-like and tends to cause paper noise, which is not preferable. The pure bending value of the nonwoven fabric according to the present invention is 0.01~0.06g
cm 2 /cm is required. Pure song value is 0.01g
If it is less than cm 2 /cm, it is not flexible but has no waist.
It gives a very weak feeling and is unsatisfactory in terms of strength. If the pure bending value exceeds 0.06 gcm 2 /cm, the original reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric will not lose its hardness and the rustling sound of the paper will not disappear. The specific surface area of the nonwoven fabric according to the present invention is 5 to 50 m 2 /g
It is necessary that The specific surface area depends on the fiber diameter of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Therefore, if the specific surface area is less than 5 m 2 /g, the fiber diameter will become too large and the obtained nonwoven fabric will lack flexibility, which is not preferable. If the specific surface area exceeds 50 m 2 /g, the web cannot be opened well during production of the original fabric, and the physical properties of the nonwoven fabric will deteriorate, which is not preferable. The polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric according to the present invention has an excellent soft texture and generates little paper ringing noise, so these characteristics can be utilized to create cold protection gear, rain gear, and hats for events that are difficult to use with conventional nonwoven fabrics. It can be widely used in the clothing field, such as jumpers. Furthermore, since this nonwoven fabric itself has water repellency, it can be used as medical sheets and surgical gowns. [Example] The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples below. Note that the paper noise silencing properties shown in the examples were evaluated by the following method. The nonwoven fabric according to the present invention was cut into 180 cm x 260 cm squares (B5 size), and an evaluation test was conducted by 10 sensory examiners. That is, when each inspector holds one end of a sample nonwoven fabric and swings it from side to side, it is checked to see if the nonwoven fabric flaps and produces a paper-like sound (clattering or rustling), and is evaluated based on the following criteria. 〇: Less than 2 out of 10 people can hear the sound △: 3 to 7 out of 10 people can hear the sound ×: More than 8 out of 10 people can hear the sound Example 1 Continuous melting and supply of polymer A homogeneous solution of high density polyethylene and trichlorofluoromethane with a polymer concentration of 9.2 wt% was prepared using solution adjustment equipment consisting of an extruder, a metering pump for continuous injection of solvent, and a device for continuously mixing these. adjust.

Polypropylene three-dimensional network fibers are made using a polymer solution preparation and spinning device that has a vacuum chamber and a continuous spinneret. That is, polypropylene lenticules were melt-extruded using a screw extruder, while trichlorofluoromethane was introduced into a solvent introduction tube using a high-pressure metering pump and made into a homogeneous solution in a mixing tube. This solution was discharged through a vacuum chamber and a spinneret, and flash spinning was performed to obtain three-dimensional reticulated fibers with a fineness of 166 d, which were collected on a moving net conveyor. At this time, the reticulated fibers were deposited on the net conveyor while being continuously swung from side to side, with a width of 45 cm.

Table 1 shows the physical properties of the obtained nonwoven fabric. Comparative Example 1 uses a nonwoven fabric before softening treatment, and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 use polyethylene nonwoven fabric for clothing (Tyvek) manufactured based on the method disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,920,874.
It is also shown in the table. An example in which the head pressure of the water jet was lowered to 25 kg/cm 2 is also shown in Table 1 as Comparative Example 5. As shown in Table 1, nonwoven fabrics within the scope of the present invention exhibit excellent paper noise silencing properties, but untreated nonwoven fabrics have extremely poor paper noise silencing properties.
Tyvek's improvement is also insufficient. [Effects of the Invention] Since the polyolefin reticulated fiber nonwoven fabric of the present invention is configured as described above, it has excellent flexibility and is characterized by extremely little occurrence of paper noise. As a result, it can be widely used for various clothing applications in combination with the properties possessed by reticulated fiber nonwoven fabrics. 【table】
