Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a biodegradable non-woven fabric,

An embodiment of the present invention relates to an environmentally friendly biodegradable nonwoven fabric, an apparatus for manufacturing the same, and a manufacturing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an environmentally friendly biodegradable nonwoven fabric which improves the mechanical properties by improving the absorbency, softness, And a manufacturing method thereof.

In general, nonwoven fabric refers to nonwoven fibers. It means fiber aggregate not by spun yarn, weaving or braiding, it is a sheet aggregated by physical and chemical means.

Conventionally, nonwoven fabrics are made by pulverizing highly absorbent pulp with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) having high bonding strength when used as sanitary articles.

However, since polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are sprayed with harmful components and are not absorbed, there is a problem that can cause skin diseases such as itchy erythema of soft skin and problems that cause environmental problems after disposal .

Recently, efforts to reduce carbon dioxide in accordance with global warming have been continuously studied. In particular, polymer produced from fossil fuels not only increases carbon dioxide emissions but also has limited reserves. Therefore, studies are underway on polylactic acid products that can be formed into fibers by melt-spraying polymers synthesized from natural plants.

Poly lactic acid (PLA) has formed a market of 150,000 tons worldwide, and it has been used for disposable products using biodegradable properties of PLA, as well as fields where general plastics such as food packaging materials, containers and electronic cases were used And its application range is expanding.

However, the poly lactic acid (PLA) has a higher price than polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), has a rough texture, a small volume, and low elasticity.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing an environmentally friendly biodegradable nonwoven fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A method of manufacturing an environmentally friendly biodegradable nonwoven fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention includes PLA (biodegradable polylactic acid) in an extruder, melting it, spinning it through a spinning nozzle having hundreds of small orifices formed therein, Step S10 of stretching and cooling the fibers by high-pressure hot air jetted from both sides at high speed to form fibers; Integrating the fibrous PLA in the form of a web on a mesh belt; Step S30 of laminating the pulp on PLA integrated in a web form; Step S40 of stacking the fibrous PLA in the form of a web on the pulp in step S10; And a step S50 of bonding and bonding the laminated PLA, pulp, and PLA by heat fusion.

Step S10 is performed in the first PLA fiber producing machine 100 and the second PLA fiber producing machine 200. [ First, PLA (biodegradable polylactic acid) is put into the extruder 110 of the first PLA fiber producing machine 100 and melted.

Here, the PLA has a melting point of 100 to 180 캜, a melt index of 20 to 40 g / 10 min, and a melt density of 0.98 to 2.24 g / cm 3 (260 캜). In addition, PLA is selected from poly-D-lactic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, copolymers of D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid.

The extruder 110 has a first region in which the temperature is set at 150 to 160 캜, a second region in which the temperature in the range of 200 to 210 캜 is set, a third region in which the temperature in the range of 220 to 230 캜 is set, , And a fifth region where the temperature is set at 250 to 260 캜.

Thus, the PLA is completely dissolved while passing through the first to fifth regions of the extruder 110.

Then, the fully dissolved PLA is filtered into the filter device 120 and supplied to the injection nozzle 130, and the PLA supplied to the injection nozzle 130 is injected through hundreds of small orifices.

Then, the injected PLA is stretched by high-pressure hot air blowing at high speed in the blower 140, cooled by a cooler, and made into fiber.

The fibrous PLA is then cut into a cutter 160 and injected through the injection port 170. At this time, the first PLA fiber injected into the injection port 170 is injected in an amount of 10% by weight to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the nonwoven fabric.

Step S20 integrates the first PLA fibers injected onto the mesh belt 400 in a web form. At this time, the web formed by the melt-blown method has an isotropic structure. That is, since the web is formed for the hot air, the fibers are arbitrarily arranged in the machine direction and the machine width direction, and are not sufficiently cooled, so that mutual bonding is achieved by thermal bonding between the fibers.

Step S30 stacks the pulp injected from the pulp feeder 200 onto the first PLA fibers that are integrated and transported in a web form. At this time, the pulp to be laminated is sprayed at 25 wt% to 80 wt% with respect to the total weight of the nonwoven fabric.

In step S40, the second PLA fiber is laminated on the pulp. The second PLA fiber is produced through the second PLA fiber making machine 300 in the same manner as in step S10.

More specifically, the PLA is introduced into the extruder 310 of the second PLA fiber producing machine 300, and the PLA is completely dissolved while passing through the first to fifth regions of the extruder 310. The fully dissolved PLA is then filtered by the filter device 320 and supplied to the injection nozzle 330 and injected through hundreds of small orifices. Then, the injected PLA is drawn by the high-pressure hot air of the blower 340 and cooled by the cooler 350 to be fiberized. Then, the fibrous PLA is cut into the cutter 360 and injected through the injection port 370. At this time, the second PLA fibers injected into the injection port 370 are injected in an amount of 10% by weight to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the nonwoven fabric.

As such, the second PLA fibers produced in the second PLA fiber making machine 300 are integrated in a web form on the pulp.

In step S50, the laminated material laminated on the mesh belt 400 in the order of the first PLA fiber, the pulp, and the second PLA fiber is passed through the heat-sealed part 600 to thermally fuse the laminated material.

As shown in FIG. 5, the environmentally-friendly biodegradable nonwoven fabric manufactured by the above manufacturing method comprises a first PLA fiber layer sprayed on a mesh belt 400 and integrated in a web form, a pulp layer laminated on the first PLA fiber layer, And a second PLA fiber layer sprayed onto the pulp layer and integrated in the form of a web.
