DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric that has strength, flexibility, and liquid absorbency and does not shed fluff, and its production. More specifically, it is a nonwoven fabric with a structure in which a network formed mainly by adhering composite spun fibers and a network formed mainly by adhering hydrophilic fibers are intertwined and integrated. This method consists of subjecting a web made of polyester fibers, composite spun fibers, and hot water soluble fibers to dry heat treatment and wet heat treatment.

The present invention is a nonwoven fabric made of at least two types of fibers including a composite spun fiber containing a low-melting point polymer as one component and a hydrophilic fiber, wherein the low-melting point polymer of the composite spun fiber is melt-bonded within the nonwoven fabric. By creating a nonwoven fabric with an interpenetrating structure in which the network and the network formed by adhering hydrophilic fibers are intertwined with each other, they succeeded in achieving a balance between strength and flexibility and preventing fluffing. That is, a nonwoven fabric consisting of at least two types of fibers including a composite spun fiber containing a low melting point polymer as one component and a hydrophilic fiber is subjected to a combination of dry heat treatment and moist heat treatment, and the low melting point polymer of the composite spun fiber is treated in the nonwoven fabric. This is a method for producing a nonwoven fabric having an interpenetrating structure in which a network formed by melt-bonding and a network formed by adhering hydrophilic fibers are intertwined with each other. Such composite spun fibers may be core-sheath fibers or side-by-side type fibers, but it is preferable for one component to be a polyethylene polymer for dry heat treatment. The composition of the other components is not particularly limited as long as they have a higher melting point than the polyethylene polymer and are thermoplastic, but they are required to have composite spinnability such as polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. When making a core-sheath type or a sea-island type, the polyethylene polymer is manufactured by composite spinning so that the sheath becomes the sea, and the other components form the core or islands. In addition, any hydrophilic fibers that can be bonded with hot water soluble fibers, such as rayon, vinylon, nylon, and cotton, can be used, but when vinylon is used as the hot water soluble fiber, hydrophilic fibers Rayon and vinylon are preferable.

In the present invention, a web consisting of composite spun fibers, hydrophilic fibers, and hot water soluble fibers is subjected to dry heat treatment at a temperature higher than the melting point of one component of the composite spun fibers and lower than the melting point of the other components, so that the composite spun fibers are fused. A network is formed. Next, by heat-treating this web in a wet state, the hot water-soluble fibers swell and further dissolve, resulting in sufficient adhesion to the hydrophilic fibers, thereby forming a network. be done. Here, the dry heat treatment and the wet heat treatment may be performed in either order.
By both treatments, two kinds of mutually entangled networks are formed, and a novel nonwoven fabric that has a good balance between strength and flexibility and does not shed fuzz can be obtained.

The fact that the two types of networks intertwine and interpenetrate is confirmed by the fact that when one of the networks of the nonwoven fabric of the present invention, that is, the composite spun fibers or the hydrophilic fibers, is dissolved and removed, only one network remains. I can't stand it. The loops of the network of composite spun fibers and hydrophilic fibers in the nonwoven fabric of the present invention interpenetrate and cannot be taken out without dissolving one of them, and this structure provides a balance between strength and flexibility. Moreover, the fuzz of composite spun fibers and hydrophilic fibers does not come off easily.

In the method of the present invention, a part of the thermoplastic composite spun fiber is melted by dry heat treatment, but when one component is a polyethylene polymer, the treatment temperature is preferably 90 to 160 °C, and the other component is polypropylene. It is necessary to form a strong network without melting polyester or the like. At this time, the hydrophilic fibers are also bonded to the composite spun fibers, but the adhesive force is weak compared to the adhesive force between composite spun fibers.

Heat treatment from a wet state causes adhesion by hot water soluble fibers, but the adhesion effect is mainly exerted by hydrophilic fibers and a network is formed. In the case of vinylon, it is bonded by heat treatment at 70 to 150°C in a state where it contains 50% to 500% water, preferably 100% to 500%. Although some of the hot water soluble fibers dissolve and adhesion of composite spun fibers occurs, the bonding force is weaker than adhesion between hydrophilic fibers.

In the nonwoven fabric having an intertwined interpenetrating structure of the network of the present invention and the method for producing the same, the proportions of hydrophilic fibers, composite spun fibers, and hot water soluble fibers need to be changed as appropriate depending on the use of the sanitary material. For soluble fibers, 10% or less is appropriate. There are no particular limitations on fiber length or denier, and commonly used short fibers may be used. Further, even if the entire web does not have the same fiber composition, it may be preferable to have a uniform composition distribution, and if part of the nonwoven fabric has the structure of the present invention, it is preferable for sanitary materials.
