角度をなす方向とするのが好ましい。The melt blown non-woven fabric is the above-mentioned polymer alone, or a blended product of two or more different polymers selected from the above-mentioned polymers, or among the above-mentioned polymers. Two different polymers selected from the above are melt-spun by a so-called melt blown method such that they are arranged in a core-sheath type or a parallel type, that is, a hole diameter of about 0.1 to 1.0 mm arranged in a spinneret. The molten polymer flow discharged from the spinning hole is drawn and thinned by a high-pressure gas flow ejected from a slit nozzle having a width of 0.1 to 0.5 mm at a temperature 20 to 50 ° C. higher than the melting temperature, After cooling, by collecting and depositing on the moving collecting surface, it is possible to easily obtain a nonwoven web composed of fibers having a single fiber fineness of 0.2 denier or less. When melt spinning by the melt blown method, the spinning temperature is appropriately selected according to the melting characteristics of the polymer to be used.
Usually, the temperature is preferably 290 to 350 ° C. When the spinning temperature is lower than 290 ° C, it is difficult to discharge the molten polymer from the spinning hole, and the discharged molten polymer flow is apt to be interrupted. When the temperature exceeds 350 ° C, the polymer undergoes thermal decomposition, which is not preferable. In addition, the temperature of the high-pressure gas flow for drawing and thinning the discharged molten polymer flow is set to a temperature 20 to 50 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the polymer flow, and this temperature is + 20 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the polymer flow. If it is less than 1, the spinnability deteriorates and it becomes difficult to form ultrafine fibers.
If this temperature exceeds + 50 ° C. above the melting temperature of the polymer stream, the thermal decomposition of the polymer causes the ejection holes of the spinneret to become dirty over time, resulting in poor operability. Further, it is preferable that the flow rate of the high-pressure gas flow is usually about 80 to 300 m / sec, and the jetting direction is a direction forming an angle of 5 to 45 degrees with respect to the spinning line direction.

しくない。The spunbonded non-woven fabric is selected from the above-mentioned polymers alone, a blended product of two or more different polymers selected from the above-mentioned polymers, or selected from the above-mentioned polymers. The two different polymers thus prepared are melt-spun by the so-called spunbond method so as to be arranged in a core-sheath type or a parallel type, that is, melt-spun and cooled from a spinneret, and drawn by using a take-up means such as an air sucker. Traction with a speed of 3000-6000 m / min.
After the fiber is thinned, it is opened using a fiber opener and collected and deposited on the moving collection surface, resulting in a single fiber fineness of 0.2.
Nonwoven webs composed of fibers below denier can be obtained. In this case, composite spinning was performed using two or more incompatible polymers selected from the above polymers, a nonwoven web was prepared in the same manner as described above, and the resulting nonwoven web was mechanically By adopting a method of splitting fibers into split fibers composed of each polymer alone, a nonwoven web having the single fiber fineness can be obtained more easily. The two or more incompatible polymers may have almost the same melting point, but they have melting points of at least 2
It is also possible to select polymers that differ by 0 ° C. When melt-spun by the spunbond method, the take-up speed is 3
000 to 6000 m / min is preferable. If the take-up speed is less than 3000 m / min, the degree of molecular orientation of the spun fiber does not increase sufficiently, so that the mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the obtained web are not improved, while the take-up speed is less than 6000 m / min. If it exceeds the above range, the spinnability at the time of melt spinning is deteriorated, which is not preferable.

When the monofilament fineness exceeds 0.2 denier, the texture of the obtained non-woven fabric becomes hard and a laminated non-woven structure having a high flexibility cannot be obtained, and the pore size of the non-woven fabric surface becomes large, resulting in a sufficient bacterial barrier. It is not preferable because it does not develop the sex.

When the basis weight is less than 10 g / m 2 , the degree of dense overlap between fibers is low, and the texture of a laminated non-woven structure obtained by laminating and integrating a natural fiber nonwoven fabric with this nonwoven fabric is not preferable, which is not preferable. . On the other hand, when the basis weight exceeds 120 g / m 2 , the bacterial barrier property is improved but the thickness becomes too large, so that it is difficult to apply the obtained laminated non-woven structure to, for example, a field requiring flexibility. Moreover, after laminating a natural fiber non-woven fabric on this non-woven fabric, it is necessary to slow down the processing speed or supply a large amount of ultrasonic energy when performing a fusion process using an ultrasonic fusion device to integrate them. Occurs,
Not preferable. Therefore, in the present invention, the basis weight of this ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer is set to 10 to 120 g / m 2 , and preferably 20 to 100 g / m 2 .

れるものである。 解繊率（％）＝（被反毛重量−糸状物重量）×１００／被反毛重量・・（１）Next, regarding the non-woven fabric layer in which the natural fibers are mechanically entangled with each other in the present invention, the natural fibers constituting the non-woven fabric layer include cellulosic fibers such as cotton fiber and hemp fiber. It also includes animal fibers such as ramie, silk staple fibers, natural pulp, and various recycled staple fibers represented by rayon. In the present invention, as a starting material for this non-woven fabric layer, combed yarn that has not been subjected to bleaching processing,
Bleached cotton that has been bleached or various fluff obtained from woven or knitted fabric can also be used. When using fluff as the starting material, the fluff machine that can be effectively used includes a ratchet machine, a notch breaker, a garnet machine, and a cutting machine. The type and combination of anti-fluffing machines used depend on the shape of the woven or knitted fabric to be fluffed and the thickness or twisting strength of the constituent threads, but multiple identical anti-fluffing machines are connected in series. It is more effective to use two or more types of anti-hairbrushing machine in combination. The defibration rate (%) by the fluffing machine is preferably in the range of 30 to 95%. When the defibration rate is less than 30%, unwoven fibers are present in the card web, so that not only the surface of the non-woven fabric is rough but also natural fibers are three-dimensionally mechanically processed by the high pressure liquid columnar flow treatment. When the entanglement is performed, the high-pressure liquid columnar flow does not sufficiently penetrate the undisentangled fiber portion, while the disentanglement rate is 95%.
If it exceeds 0.1%, the laminated non-woven structure obtained by laminating and integrating with the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric cannot obtain sufficient surface friction strength, which is not preferable. The defibration rate (%) here is determined by the following equation (1). Disentanglement rate (%) = (weight of woven fabric-weight of filamentous material) x 100 / weight of woven fabric ... (1)

ードウエブを使用するのが好ましい。The natural fiber non-woven fabric layer in the present invention is made of the above-mentioned natural fibers, and the fibers are mechanically entangled with each other. That is, the natural fibers are mechanically entangled by the high-pressure liquid columnar flow treatment or the needle punching treatment. Especially in the former case, the fibers are entangled three-dimensionally and the bulkiness of the nonwoven fabric is improved and the softness is increased. Since the property is also improved, for example, a laminated non-woven structure obtained by laminating and integrating with the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is preferable for use as a material for sanitary materials or life-related materials. This non-woven fabric layer is made of a single material or a mixture of a plurality of materials selected from the above natural fiber materials as a starting material. It can be easily obtained by subjecting the obtained web to mechanical entanglement between fibers by high pressure liquid columnar flow treatment or needle punching treatment. The card web can be variously selected according to the degree of arrangement of the constituent fibers. For example, a parallel web arranged in the traveling direction of the card machine, a web in which parallel webs are crosslaid, a random web arranged in random, or a medium degree of both. Examples thereof include a semi-random web and the like. Further, when it is desired to develop it as a material for clothing, it is preferable to use a card web in which the aspect ratio of the strength of the nonwoven fabric is about 1/1.

不織布を得ることができる。In the case of the high-pressure liquid columnar flow treatment, for example, a large number of injection holes having a hole diameter of 0.05 to 1.5 mm, particularly 0.1 to 0.4 mm are arranged in one row or a plurality of rows with a hole interval of 0.05 to 5 mm. The injection pressure is 5 to 150 kg / c
A method of injecting a high-pressure liquid of m 2 G from the injection hole and colliding with a card web placed on the porous support member to give a three-dimensional entanglement between the fibers is adopted. The ejection holes are arranged in rows in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the card web. As the high-pressure liquid, room temperature water or warm water can be used. The distance between the injection hole and the web is preferably 1 to 15 cm. This distance is 1
If the distance is less than 15 cm, the texture of the composite non-woven fabric obtained by this treatment is disturbed. On the other hand, if the distance exceeds 15 cm, the impact force when the liquid flow collides with the laminate is reduced and the three-dimensional entanglement becomes sufficient. Not applied and neither is preferred. This high pressure liquid columnar flow treatment may be performed in at least two stages. That is, in the first-stage treatment, a high-pressure liquid flow having a pressure of 5 to 40 kg / cm 2 G is jetted to collide with the web to preliminarily entangle the constituent fibers of the web. In this first stage treatment, the liquid stream pressure is 5
If the pressure is less than kg / cm 2 G, the constituent fibers of the web cannot be pre-entangled with each other. On the other hand, if the pressure of the liquid flow exceeds 40 kg / cm 2 G, a high-pressure liquid flow is jetted onto the web to cause collision. At that time, the constituent fibers of the web are disturbed by the action of the liquid flow, and the texture of the web is disturbed and the basis weight is uneven. Subsequently, in the second step, a high-pressure liquid flow having a pressure of 50 to 150 kg / cm 2 G is jetted to collide with the web, and the fibers constituting the web are three-dimensionally entangled with each other so as to be densely integrated as a whole. . In this second stage treatment, the pressure of the liquid stream is 50
If it is less than kg / cm 2 G, the above-mentioned three-dimensional entanglement between fibers cannot be sufficiently formed, while if the pressure of the liquid flow exceeds 150 kg / cm 2 G, the resulting nonwoven fabric is obtained. The bulkiness and flexibility are not improved, and both are not preferable. Depending on the basis weight of the web, as a third stage process following the second stage process, the second side process is performed again from the side opposite to the second stage process side under the same conditions as the second stage process. It is possible to obtain a non-woven fabric in which fibers are closely entangled with each other on the front and back. As the porous supporting member for carrying the web used for performing the high-pressure liquid columnar flow treatment, for example, a mesh screen or a perforated plate made of a wire mesh or synthetic resin of 20 to 100 mesh is used as the high-pressure liquid stream. It is not particularly limited as long as it can penetrate. The mesh structure of the porous support member is preferably in the range of 20 fibers / 25 mm to 200 fibers / 25 mm. When it is less than 20 fibers / 25 mm, the fibers become columnar when the high pressure liquid columnar flow collides with the web. As the flow passes through the mesh screen, fibers drop out, while
When the number exceeds 25 mm / column, the amount of energy required for the high-pressure liquid columnar flow to pass through the web and the mesh screen increases and the production cost increases, which is not preferable. After performing the high pressure liquid flow treatment, excess moisture is removed from the treated web. A known method can be adopted for removing the excess water. For example, a nonwoven fabric can be obtained by mechanically removing excess moisture to some extent using a squeezing device such as a mangle roll, and then using a drying device such as a hot band circulation dryer of the saxion band system to remove residual moisture. it can.

When the basis weight is less than 30 g / m 2 , the abundance of natural fiber per unit area is too small to sufficiently provide the water absorption targeted by the present invention, while the basis weight is 200 g / m 2.
When it exceeds m 2 , the peeling strength is sufficiently high in the laminated non-woven structure obtained by laminating with the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber non-woven fabric and forming point-like fused regions by using an ultrasonic fusing device so as to be integrated. It does not improve, and neither is preferable.
Therefore, in the present invention, the basis weight of this natural fiber non-woven fabric is 30 to 200 g / m 2, and preferably 50 to 150 g.

し，いずれも好ましくない。Next, the laminated nonwoven structure of the present invention will be described. The laminated non-woven structure of the present invention has a point-like fused area in which the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric layer are laminated, and the ultrafine fiber and the natural fiber are fused together, and Natural fibers located at least at the boundary surface between the two non-woven fabric layers in the spot-shaped fusion-bonded area are fixed in a state of being embedded in the fusion portion of the ultrafine fibers, whereby they are integrated as a whole. This point-like fusion zone is an ultrasonic wave fusion consisting of an ultrasonic oscillator, which is usually called a horn, whose frequency is 19.15 KHz, and a pattern roll having convex protrusions in the form of dots or bands on the circumference. Fibers formed by using a bonding device and abutting on the portions corresponding to the convex protrusions are fused. More specifically, the spot-shaped fused areas have a specific area and a specific arrangement with respect to the total surface area of the non-woven structure, and the individual dotted-shaped fused areas do not necessarily have a circular shape. However, the ratio of the area of all the spot-shaped fused regions to the total surface area of the non-woven structure is 2 to 40.
%, Preferably 4 to 25%, the same area density is 7 to 80 points /
It is preferably cm 2 and preferably 8 to 50 points / cm 2 . When the ratio of the area of all the spot-shaped fused areas to the total surface area of the non-woven structure is less than 2%, the point-shaped fusion is performed using an ultrasonic fusion device after the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric are laminated. In the laminated non-woven structure integrally obtained by forming the attachment area, the peel strength is not sufficiently improved, while when the area ratio exceeds 40%, the flexibility of the obtained laminated non-woven structure is increased. Both of these properties are not preferable because they deteriorate the bulkiness and bulkiness. Further, when the area density is less than 7 points / cm 2 , not only the adhesive strength, that is, peeling strength, of the obtained laminated nonwoven structure is uneven, but also the bacterial barrier property is deteriorated, while the area density is 80% or less. When it exceeds the point / cm 2 , the flexibility and bulkiness of the obtained laminated non-woven structure are deteriorated, both of which are not preferable.

強力の高い積層不織構造体となる。The ultrasonic fusing device that can be used in the present invention is a known device, namely, an ultrasonic oscillator generally called a horn having a frequency of 19.15 KHz, and a convex protrusion in the shape of a dot or a strip on the circumference. And a pattern roll provided with. The pattern roll is disposed below the ultrasonic oscillator, and the object to be processed is passed between the ultrasonic oscillator and the pattern roll. The convex protrusions arranged on this pattern roll may be one row or a plurality of rows,
Further, when the arrangement is a plurality of rows, either parallel or staggered arrangement may be used. During the fusion treatment, air pressure is applied to the horn to apply pressure. The linear pressure between the horn and the pattern roll is usually 1 to 10 kg / cm, and the linear pressure is 1
If it is less than kg / cm, the pressing force against the laminate of the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric layer is insufficient to prevent fusion, while if the linear pressure exceeds 10 kg / cm, Of the laminated non-woven structure obtained when the pressing force against the heat-bonded area is too high and the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer corresponding to the heat-bonded area is thermally decomposed or, in extreme cases, perforated. Adhesive strength is reduced and neither is preferable. The laminated non-woven structure of the present invention, in the point fusion area, by subjecting the laminate of the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric to a fusion treatment using the above-mentioned ultrasonic fusion device, Natural fibers located at least at the boundary surface of both the nonwoven fabric layers are fixed in a state of being embedded in the fusion portion of the ultrafine fibers and integrated as a whole. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a cross section of the spot-shaped fused area in the laminated nonwoven structure of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a thermoplastic ultrafine fiber layer melted in a point fusion area, 2 is a natural fiber, and as is clear from the figure, a natural fiber located at least at the boundary surface of both non-woven fabric layers in the point fusion area Two
Is fixed in a state where it is embedded in the melting portion where the thermoplastic ultrafine fibers are melted, that is, 1 and both non-woven fabric layers have such an adhesive structure in the point fusion area, so that the lamination strength with high peeling strength is high. It becomes a woven structure.

It had water absorbency. The laminated non-woven structure obtained in Example 2 uses polyethylene terephthalate ultrafine fiber meltblown nonwoven fabric instead of the polypropylene ultrafine fiber meltblown nonwoven fabric of Example 1, and has slightly lower peel strength than that of Example 1. It had excellent flexibility, good bacterial barrier properties and good water absorption. The laminated non-woven structure obtained in Example 3 had an area ratio of the convex protrusions of the pattern roll in the ultrasonic fusing device of 5%, and the area of all the spot-shaped fused areas relative to the total surface area of the non-woven structure. Since the ratio is low, the peel strength is slightly lower than that in Example 1. The laminated non-woven structure obtained in Example 6 has the same area ratio of 33% and the whole non-woven structure. Since the ratio of the area of all the spot-shaped fused regions to the surface area was high, the peel strength was excellent, but the flexibility was a little inferior to that of Example 1. Further, in the laminated nonwoven structure obtained in Example 7, the density of the convex protrusions arranged was 9 points / cm 2 , and the density of the dot-like fused areas in the nonwoven structure was low,
The peeling had strong spots. On the other hand, the laminated non-woven structure obtained in Comparative Example 1 contained no natural fibers, and thus had a low water absorbability as is apparent from Table 1. The laminated non-woven structure obtained in Comparative Example 2 has a high air permeability and a low water pressure resistance because the polypropylene long fiber spunbonded nonwoven fabric having a high single fiber fineness is laminated.
It did not have a bacterial barrier property. Comparative Example 3
Since the laminated non-woven structure obtained in step 1 was subjected to partial thermocompression bonding treatment using a hot embossing roller, the peel strength was extremely low.

し，いずれも好ましくない。Next, the laminated nonwoven structure of the present invention will be described. The laminated non-woven structure of the present invention has a point-like fused area in which the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric layer are laminated, and the ultrafine fiber and the natural fiber are fused together, and Natural fibers located at least at the boundary surface between the two non-woven fabric layers in the spot-shaped fusion-bonded area are fixed in a state of being embedded in the fusion portion of the ultrafine fibers, whereby they are integrated as a whole. And the point-like fused area, the ultrasonic waves consists of a ultrasonic oscillator frequency is commonly referred to as a horn of about 20 KHz, the pattern roll having a convex protrusion on point-like or band on the circumference Fibers formed by using a fusion device and abutting on the portions corresponding to the convex protrusions are fused. More specifically, the spot-shaped fused areas have a specific area and a specific arrangement with respect to the total surface area of the non-woven structure, and the individual dotted-shaped fused areas do not necessarily have a circular shape. However, the ratio of the area of all the spot-shaped fused regions to the total surface area of the non-woven structure is 2 to 40.
%, Preferably 4 to 25%, the same area density is 7 to 80 points /
It is preferably cm 2 and preferably 8 to 50 points / cm 2 . When the ratio of the area of all the spot-shaped fused areas to the total surface area of the non-woven structure is less than 2%, the point-shaped fusion is performed using an ultrasonic fusion device after the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric are laminated. In the laminated non-woven structure integrally obtained by forming the attachment area, the peel strength is not sufficiently improved, while when the area ratio exceeds 40%, the flexibility of the obtained laminated non-woven structure is increased. Both of these properties are not preferable because they deteriorate the bulkiness and bulkiness. Further, when the area density is less than 7 points / cm 2 , not only the adhesive strength, that is, peeling strength, of the obtained laminated nonwoven structure is uneven, but also the bacterial barrier property is deteriorated, while the area density is 80% or less. When it exceeds the point / cm 2 , the flexibility and bulkiness of the obtained laminated non-woven structure are deteriorated, both of which are not preferable.

Further, when the arrangement is a plurality of rows, either parallel or staggered arrangement may be used. During the fusion treatment, air pressure is applied to the horn to apply pressure. The linear pressure between the horn and the pattern roll is usually 1 to 10 kg / cm, and the linear pressure is 1
If it is less than kg / cm, the pressing force against the laminate of the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric layer is insufficient to prevent fusion, while if the linear pressure exceeds 10 kg / cm, Of the laminated non-woven structure obtained when the pressing force against the heat-bonded area is too high and the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric layer corresponding to the heat-bonded area is thermally decomposed or, in extreme cases, perforated. Adhesive strength is reduced and neither is preferable. The laminated non-woven structure of the present invention, in the point fusion area, by subjecting the laminate of the thermoplastic ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric and the natural fiber nonwoven fabric to a fusion treatment using the above-mentioned ultrasonic fusion device, Natural fibers located at least at the boundary surface of both the nonwoven fabric layers are fixed in a state of being embedded in the fusion portion of the ultrafine fibers and integrated as a whole. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a cross section of the spot-shaped fused area in the laminated nonwoven structure of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a thermoplastic ultrafine fiber layer melted in a point fusion area, 2 is a natural fiber, and as is clear from the figure, a natural fiber located at least at the boundary surface of both non-woven fabric layers in the point fusion area Two
Is fixed in a state where it is embedded in the melting portion where the thermoplastic ultrafine fibers are melted, that is, 1 and both non-woven fabric layers have such an adhesive structure in the point fusion area, so that the lamination strength with high peeling strength is high.
