本發明之不織布由於鞘成分係由含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之同芯芯鞘型複合纖維所構成,故而具有柔軟之觸感,且肌膚觸碰感優異。 Since the sheath component of the nonwoven fabric of the present invention is composed of a core-sheath-type composite fiber containing a linear low-density polyethylene, it has a soft touch and is excellent in touch with the skin.
本發明之不織布係包含同芯芯鞘型複合纖維之短纖維不織布,並且,同芯芯鞘型複合纖維之鞘成分含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯,芯成分含有具有較前述直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之融點高20℃以上之融點的熱塑性樹脂。本發明之不織布由於鞘成分係由含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之同芯芯鞘型複合纖維所構成,故而具有柔軟之觸感,且肌膚觸碰感優異。因此,本發明之不織布可合適地用作拋棄式尿片、生理用品等吸收性物品之貼膚側之構件、手術簾或紗布等醫療用不織布製品、濕紙巾或濕毛巾等。以下,對本發明之不織布加以詳細說明。 The non-woven fabric of the present invention is a short-fiber non-woven fabric comprising a core-sheath-type composite fiber, and the sheath component of the core-core-sheath-type composite fiber contains a linear low-density polyethylene, and the core component contains a linear low-density polyethylene. The melting point of polyethylene is a thermoplastic resin whose melting point is 20°C or higher. Since the sheath component of the nonwoven fabric of the present invention is composed of a core-sheath-type composite fiber containing a linear low-density polyethylene, it has a soft touch and is excellent in touch with the skin. Therefore, the non-woven fabric of the present invention can be suitably used as a skin-facing member of absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary products, medical non-woven fabric products such as surgical drapes and gauze, wet tissues or wet towels, and the like. Hereinafter, the nonwoven fabric of the present invention will be described in detail.
構成芯鞘型複合纖維之鞘成分的直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯係以對纖維表面賦予柔軟之觸感,於製成不織布時提供良好之肌膚觸碰感的方式發揮作用。構成芯鞘型複合纖維之鞘成分的直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯只要為含有伸乙基(-CH2-CH2-)作為重複單元之直鏈狀之(共)聚合物,則並無特別限定,就容易提高纖維之柔軟性之方面而言,較佳為乙烯與碳數3以上之α-烯烴之共聚合物。作為碳數3以上之α-烯烴,可列舉:丙烯、丁烯-1、戊烯-1、4-甲基戊烯-1、己烯-1、4-甲基己烯-1、庚烯-1、辛烯-1、壬烯-1、癸烯-1、十二烯-1等。這些α-烯烴可僅包含一種,亦可包含 兩種以上。作為α-烯烴之碳數,較佳為4以上,另外,較佳為12以下,更佳為8以下,又更佳為6以下。其中,作為α-烯烴,較佳為丙烯、丁烯-1、4-甲基戊烯-1、己烯-1、4-甲基己烯-1、辛烯-1,更佳為丁烯-1、己烯-1。 The linear low-density polyethylene constituting the sheath component of the core-sheath composite fiber acts to impart a soft touch to the surface of the fiber and to provide a good touch to the skin when it is made into a nonwoven fabric. The linear low-density polyethylene constituting the sheath component of the core-sheath composite fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is a linear (co)polymer containing an ethylene group (-CH 2 -CH 2 -) as a repeating unit. However, from the viewpoint of easily improving the flexibility of the fiber, a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms is preferable. Examples of α-olefins having 3 or more carbon atoms include propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, 4-methylpentene-1, hexene-1, 4-methylhexene-1, and heptene. -1, octene-1, nonene-1, decene-1, dodecene-1, etc. Only one kind of these α-olefins may be included, or two or more kinds thereof may be included. As carbon number of an alpha-olefin, 4 or more are preferable, and 12 or less are preferable, 8 or less are more preferable, and 6 or less are still more preferable. Among them, as the α-olefin, propylene, butene-1, 4-methylpentene-1, hexene-1, 4-methylhexene-1, and octene-1 are preferred, and butene is more preferred -1. Hexene-1.
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯中之α-烯烴之含量較佳為1mol%以上,更佳為2mol%以上,另外,較佳為10mol%以下,更佳為5mol%以下。藉由將直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯中之α-烯烴之含量設為1mol%以上,容易提高纖維之柔軟性。另一方面,若α-烯烴之含量變多,則結晶性變差,於纖維化時纖維彼此容易融著,故而直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯中之α-烯烴之含量較佳為10mol%以下。 The content of the α-olefin in the linear low density polyethylene is preferably 1 mol% or more, more preferably 2 mol% or more, and is preferably 10 mol% or less, more preferably 5 mol% or less. By setting the content of α-olefin in the linear low-density polyethylene to 1 mol % or more, it is easy to improve the flexibility of the fiber. On the other hand, when the content of α-olefin increases, the crystallinity deteriorates, and fibers are easily fused to each other during fiberization. Therefore, the content of α-olefin in the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 10 mol % or less. .
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之密度(真密度)較佳為0.900g/cm3以上,更佳為0.905g/cm3以上,又更佳為0.910g/cm3以上,進而更佳為0.913g/cm3以上,另外,較佳為0.945g/cm3以下,更佳為0.940g/cm3以下,又更佳為0.938g/cm3以下。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之密度為0.900g/cm3以上,則於製成不織布時容易賦予蓬鬆性或體積恢復性。另外,於製造不織布時,高速梳棉性優異。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之密度為0.945g/cm3以下,則容易提升製成不織布時之表面觸感,另外容易確保不織布之厚度方向之柔軟性。 The density (true density) of the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 0.900 g/cm 3 or more, more preferably 0.905 g/cm 3 or more, still more preferably 0.910 g/cm 3 or more, and still more preferably 0.913 g /cm 3 or more, and preferably 0.945 g/cm 3 or less, more preferably 0.940 g/cm 3 or less, and still more preferably 0.938 g/cm 3 or less. When the density of the linear low-density polyethylene is 0.900 g/cm 3 or more, bulkiness or volume recovery can be easily imparted when it is made into a nonwoven fabric. In addition, when producing nonwoven fabrics, high-speed carding properties are excellent. If the density of the linear low-density polyethylene is 0.945 g/cm 3 or less, it is easy to improve the surface feel when it is made into a non-woven fabric, and it is easy to ensure the flexibility in the thickness direction of the non-woven fabric.
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之融點較佳為110℃以上128℃以下。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之融點為110℃以上,則即便藉由高溫之熱接著而製造不織布時,亦容易使不織布之表面觸感良好。另外,於製造不織布時,高速梳棉性優異,所得之不織布容易具有良好之均一性(或良好之質地)。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之融點為128℃以下,則即便於藉由低溫之熱接著而製造不織布時,亦容易獲得具有可耐實用之程度之強度的不織布。 The melting point of the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 110°C or higher and 128°C or lower. When the melting point of the linear low-density polyethylene is 110° C. or higher, even when a non-woven fabric is produced by high-temperature thermal bonding, the surface of the non-woven fabric can easily be made to have a good touch. In addition, when producing non-woven fabrics, high-speed carding properties are excellent, and the obtained non-woven fabrics tend to have good uniformity (or good texture). If the melting point of the linear low-density polyethylene is 128° C. or lower, even when a nonwoven fabric is produced by thermal bonding at a low temperature, a nonwoven fabric having a strength that is durable enough for practical use can be easily obtained.
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之MFR(Melt Flow Rate;熔體質量流率)較佳為1g/10min以上,更佳為2g/10min以上,又更佳為3g/10min以上,進而更佳為5g/10min以上,另外,較佳為60g/10min以下,更佳為40g/10min以下,又更佳為35g/10min以下,進而更佳為30g/10min以下。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之MFR為1g/10min以上,則紡絲性變得良好,若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之MFR為60g/10min以下,則於製造纖維時不易引起纖維彼此之融著,容易形成單纖維。MFR係依據JIS(Japanese Industrial Standards;日本工業標準)K 6922-1(1997)(條件:190℃,荷重21.18N(2.16kgf))而測定。 The MFR (Melt Flow Rate; melt mass flow rate) of the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 1g/10min or more, more preferably 2g/10min or more, still more preferably 3g/10min or more, and still more preferably 5g /10min or more, and preferably 60g/10min or less, more preferably 40g/10min or less, still more preferably 35g/10min or less, still more preferably 30g/10min or less. When the MFR of the linear low-density polyethylene is 1 g/10min or more, the spinnability becomes good, and when the MFR of the linear low-density polyethylene is 60 g/10min or less, the fibers are less likely to interact with each other during fiber production. When melted, it is easy to form single fibers. MFR is measured according to JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards; Japanese Industrial Standards) K 6922-1 (1997) (conditions: 190°C, load 21.18N (2.16kgf)).
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之重量平均分子量(Mw)相對於數量平均分子量(Mn)之比Mw/Mn較佳為5.0以下,更佳為4.0以下,又更佳為3.5以下。直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之 Mw/Mn之下限值並無特別限定,通常為1.5以上,亦可為2.0以上,亦可為2.5以上。 The ratio Mw/Mn of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the linear low density polyethylene is preferably 5.0 or less, more preferably 4.0 or less, and still more preferably 3.5 or less. Linear Low Density Polyethylene The lower limit value of Mw/Mn is not particularly limited, but is usually 1.5 or more, may be 2.0 or more, or may be 2.5 or more.
關於直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之彎曲彈性模量,就提升所得之不織布之表面觸感,確保蓬鬆性之方面而言,較佳為65MPa以上,更佳為120MPa以上,又更佳為180MPa以上,進而更佳為250MPa以上,另外,較佳為850MPa以下,更佳為750MPa以下,又更佳為700MPa以下,進而更佳為650MPa以下。彎曲彈性模量係依據JIS K 7171(2008)而測定。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之彎曲彈性模量為65MPa以上,則容易對所得之不織布賦予蓬鬆性或彈力性。另一方面,若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之彎曲彈性模量為850MPa以下,則容易使所得之不織布之表面觸感柔軟。 The flexural modulus of elasticity of the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 65 MPa or more, more preferably 120 MPa or more, and more preferably 180 MPa or more in terms of improving the surface feel of the obtained nonwoven fabric and ensuring bulkiness , more preferably 250 MPa or more, and more preferably 850 MPa or less, more preferably 750 MPa or less, still more preferably 700 MPa or less, and still more preferably 650 MPa or less. The flexural modulus was measured according to JIS K 7171 (2008). When the flexural elastic modulus of the linear low-density polyethylene is 65 MPa or more, bulkiness or elasticity can be easily imparted to the obtained nonwoven fabric. On the other hand, when the flexural modulus of the linear low-density polyethylene is 850 MPa or less, it is easy to make the surface of the obtained nonwoven fabric soft to the touch.
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之計示硬度(HDD)較佳為45以上,更佳為48以上,又更佳為50以上,另外,較佳為75以下,更佳為70以下,又更佳為65以下,進而更佳為62以下。計示硬度(HDD)係使用D型硬度計而測定,且係依據JIS K 7215(1986)而測定。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之計示硬度(HDD)為45以上,則容易對所得之不織布賦予蓬鬆性,或使所得之不織布具有體積恢復性。另外,容易確保製造纖維時之梳棉通過。若直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之計示硬度(HDD)為75以下,則容易使所得之不織布之表面觸感柔軟。 The hardness on display (HDD) of the linear low-density polyethylene is preferably 45 or more, more preferably 48 or more, still more preferably 50 or more, and more preferably 75 or less, more preferably 70 or less, still more preferably It is 65 or less, and more preferably, it is 62 or less. The durometer hardness (HDD) was measured using a D-type durometer, and was measured in accordance with JIS K 7215 (1986). When the hardness (HDD) of linear low-density polyethylene is 45 or more, it is easy to impart bulkiness to the obtained nonwoven fabric or to impart volume recovery properties to the obtained nonwoven fabric. In addition, it is easy to ensure the passage of the card during fiber production. If the hardness (HDD) of linear low-density polyethylene is 75 or less, the surface of the obtained nonwoven fabric can be easily made soft to the touch.
直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯例如可藉由使用茂金屬觸媒或齊格勒-納塔觸媒使包含乙烯之單體成分進行(共)聚合而容易地獲得。直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯較佳為藉由使乙烯與α-烯烴進行共聚合而製造。 Linear low-density polyethylene can be easily obtained, for example, by (co)polymerizing a monomer component containing ethylene using a metallocene catalyst or a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. The linear low-density polyethylene is preferably produced by copolymerizing ethylene and an α-olefin.
芯鞘型複合纖維之鞘成分亦可包含直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯以外之聚合物成分。再者,鞘成分較佳為含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯作為主成分,具體而言,於鞘成分100質量%中,直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯之含有比率較佳為50質量%以上,更佳為60質量%以上,又更佳為75質量%以上。鞘成分亦可僅包含直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯作為聚合物成分。 The sheath component of the core-sheath composite fiber may contain a polymer component other than linear low-density polyethylene.

芯鞘型複合纖維係以芯成分與鞘成分實質上成為同芯之方式形成。亦即,係以於纖維剖面中芯成分之重心與纖維之重心實質上一致之方式形成。藉由使用同芯芯鞘型複合纖維,例如藉由在紡絲後以機械方式賦予捲縮,與使用偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維之情形相比,容易對芯鞘型複合纖維賦予任意之捲縮(捲縮數、捲縮率等)。另外,可獲得以下效果:於不織布加工時進行熱處理時等,於使用偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維之情形時產生質地之劣化,但於使用同芯芯鞘型複合纖維之情形時幾乎未見質地之劣化,所得之不織布之肌膚觸碰感變得良好。 The core-sheath type conjugate fiber is formed so that the core component and the sheath component become substantially the same core. That is, it is formed so that the center of gravity of a core component and the center of gravity of a fiber may correspond substantially in a fiber cross section.

As it deteriorated, the nonwoven fabric obtained had a good touch against the skin.

It is preferably 1.2 or less, more preferably 1.1 or less, and still more preferably 1.0 or less. If the ratio of the crimp ratio/the number of crimps is within this range, the crimp will not be easily elongated, and the core-core-sheath type composite fiber has an appropriate crimp. In addition, when such crimped fibers are used, the productivity when producing a nonwoven fabric is excellent, and the bulkiness and elasticity of the obtained nonwoven fabric are easily improved.

Furthermore, the second non-woven layer is preferably a thermally bonded non-woven fabric in terms of easily improving the bulkiness of the second non-woven fabric layer and ensuring liquid permeability.
第二不織布層較佳為包含偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維或中空芯鞘型複合纖維之短纖維不織布。若第二不織布層如此般構成,則容易提高第二不織布層之蓬鬆性或緩衝性。於第二不織布層係由偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維所構成之情形時,該偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維例如較佳為鞘成分含有高密度聚乙烯,芯成分含有具有較高密度聚乙烯高20℃以上之融點的熱塑性樹脂。 The second non-woven fabric layer is preferably a short-fiber non-woven fabric comprising eccentric core-sheath composite fibers or hollow core-sheath composite fibers. If the second non-woven fabric layer is thus constituted, the bulkiness and cushioning properties of the second non-woven fabric layer can be easily improved. When the second non-woven fabric layer is composed of eccentric core-sheath composite fibers, the eccentric core-sheath composite fibers are preferably, for example, the sheath component contains high-density polyethylene, and the core component contains high-density polyethylene with high density. Thermoplastic resin with a melting point above 20°C.
於構成第二不織布層之纖維為合成纖維或複合纖維之情形時,該纖維亦可除了聚合物成分以外,含有抗靜電劑、顏料、消光劑、熱穩定劑、光穩定劑、阻燃劑、抗菌劑、潤滑劑、塑化劑、柔軟劑、抗氧化劑、紫外線吸收劑、結晶成核劑等添加劑。於纖維100質量%中,這些添加劑較佳為以10質量%以下之量而含有於纖維中。 When the fibers constituting the second non-woven fabric layer are synthetic fibers or composite fibers, the fibers may also contain antistatic agents, pigments, matting agents, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers, flame retardants, Antibacterial agents, lubricants, plasticizers, softeners, antioxidants, UV absorbers, crystal nucleating agents and other additives. These additives are preferably contained in the fibers in an amount of 10% by mass or less based on 100% by mass of the fibers.
第二不織布層之基重只要根據積層不織布之用途而適當設定即可,例如較佳為10g/m2以上,更佳為14g/m2以上,又更佳為18g/m2以上,另外,較佳為60g/m2以下, 更佳為50g/m2以下,又更佳為40g/m2以下,進而更佳為35g/m2以下。 The basis weight of the second non-woven fabric layer can be appropriately set according to the purpose of the laminated non-woven fabric, for example, preferably 10 g/m 2 or more, more preferably 14 g/m 2 or more, and more preferably 18 g/m 2 or more, and in addition, It is preferably 60 g/m 2 or less, more preferably 50 g/m 2 or less, still more preferably 40 g/m 2 or less, and still more preferably 35 g/m 2 or less.
第一不織布層之基重/第二不織布層之基重之比較佳為20/80以上,更佳為30/70以上,又更佳為35/65以上,另外,較佳為70/30以下,更佳為60/40以下,又更佳為55/45以下。藉由如此般調整第一不織布層及第二不織布層之基重,而容易使積層不織布之第一不織布層側之觸感柔軟,並且提高積層不織布之蓬鬆性或緩衝性。 The ratio of the basis weight of the first non-woven fabric layer/the basis weight of the second non-woven fabric layer is preferably 20/80 or more, more preferably 30/70 or more, still more preferably 35/65 or more, and preferably 70/30 or less. , more preferably below 60/40, still more preferably below 55/45. By adjusting the basis weights of the first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer in this way, the touch of the first non-woven fabric layer side of the laminated non-woven fabric can be easily made soft, and the bulkiness or cushioning properties of the laminated non-woven fabric can be improved.
積層不織布較佳為第一不織布層之表觀密度大於第二不織布層之表觀密度。若如此般構成積層不織布,則於積層不織布吸收液體時,容易使液體迅速移動至第二不織布層,並且保持第一不織布層側之表面相對較乾爽,抑制自第二不織布層向第一不織布層之回滲(rewet)。各不織布層之表觀密度可藉由將基重除以厚度而求出。厚度係依據JIS L 1913(2010)使用厚度測定器而測定。 In the laminated nonwoven fabric, the apparent density of the first nonwoven fabric layer is preferably greater than the apparent density of the second nonwoven fabric layer. If the laminated non-woven fabric is constructed in this way, when the laminated non-woven fabric absorbs liquid, it is easy to quickly move the liquid to the second non-woven fabric layer, and the surface on the side of the first non-woven fabric layer is kept relatively dry, and the flow from the second non-woven fabric layer to the first non-woven fabric layer is suppressed. The rewet (rewet). The apparent density of each nonwoven layer can be obtained by dividing the basis weight by the thickness. The thickness is measured using a thickness measuring device in accordance with JIS L 1913 (2010).
第一不織布層較佳為顯示親水性。第二不織布層亦較佳為顯示親水性。例如,藉由利用親水劑對第一不織布層或第二不織布層之構成纖維進行處理,或由親水性纖維構成第一不織布層或第二不織布層,可使第一不織布層或第二不織布層形成為親水性。作為親水劑,可使用界面活性劑等。 The first nonwoven layer preferably exhibits hydrophilicity. It is also preferable that the second non-woven fabric layer exhibits hydrophilicity. For example, by treating the constituent fibers of the first non-woven fabric layer or the second non-woven fabric layer with a hydrophilic agent, or by forming the first non-woven fabric layer or the second non-woven fabric layer with hydrophilic fibers, the first non-woven fabric layer or the second non-woven fabric layer can be made formed to be hydrophilic. As the hydrophilic agent, a surfactant or the like can be used.
第一不織布層與第二不織布層亦能以親水化之程度互不相同之方式形成。例如,第一不織布層較佳為親水度形成得低於第二不織布層。或者,較佳為第一不織布層係藉由利用親水劑對疏水性纖維進行處理而形成為親水性,且第二不織布層係藉由以親水性纖維構成或利用親水劑對疏水性纖維進行處理而形成為親水性。藉此,於積層不織布吸收液體時,容易使液體迅速移動至第二不織布層,並且保持第一不織布層側之表面相對較乾爽,抑制自第二不織布層向第一不織布層之回滲。 The first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer can also be formed in such a manner that the degree of hydrophilization is different from each other. For example, the first nonwoven fabric layer is preferably formed to have a lower hydrophilicity than the second nonwoven fabric layer. Alternatively, it is preferable that the first non-woven fabric layer is made hydrophilic by treating the hydrophobic fibers with a hydrophilic agent, and the second non-woven fabric layer is formed by using hydrophilic fibers or treating the hydrophobic fibers with a hydrophilic agent. and become hydrophilic. Thereby, when the laminated non-woven fabric absorbs liquid, it is easy to quickly move the liquid to the second non-woven fabric layer, and the surface on the side of the first non-woven fabric layer is kept relatively dry, and the back seepage from the second non-woven fabric layer to the first non-woven fabric layer is suppressed.
第一不織布層之構成纖維亦較佳為以如下方式形成:與第二不織布層之構成纖維相比,親水度更容易因與水接觸而降低。藉由如此般調整各層之構成纖維之親水度,可保持第一不織布層側之表面相對較乾爽,減少自第二不織布層向第一不織布層之回滲量。此時之各層之構成纖維之親水度之調整較佳為如下般進行。關於第一不織布層,較佳為使用含有非離子性界面活性劑之親水劑,具體而言,使用如聚氧乙烯烷基醚、聚氧乙烯脂肪酸酯、山梨醇酐脂肪酸酯般因與水接觸而相對較容易自纖維表面脫離之物質作為親水劑,並將該親水劑塗佈於疏水性纖維之表面。關於第二不織布層,較佳為作為親水劑,使用如聚甘油脂肪酸酯、聚醚-聚酯嵌段共聚合物、聚醚改性矽酮、環氧乙烷加成多元醇之脂肪酸酯般即便與水接觸亦不易自纖維表面 脫離之物質作為親水劑,並將該親水劑塗佈於疏水性纖維之表面,或將親水劑預先混練至纖維中。或者,可使用親水性之纖維或混合親水性之纖維作為第二不織布層之構成纖維。 The constituent fibers of the first non-woven fabric layer are also preferably formed in such a manner that the degree of hydrophilicity is more likely to decrease due to contact with water than the constituent fibers of the second non-woven fabric layer. By adjusting the hydrophilicity of the constituent fibers of each layer in this way, the surface on the side of the first non-woven fabric layer can be kept relatively dry, and the amount of rewet from the second non-woven fabric layer to the first non-woven fabric layer can be reduced. In this case, the adjustment of the hydrophilicity of the constituent fibers of each layer is preferably carried out as follows. For the first non-woven fabric layer, it is preferable to use a hydrophilic agent containing a nonionic surfactant, specifically, a hydrophilic agent such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, and sorbitan fatty acid ester. A substance that is relatively easily detached from the fiber surface in contact with water is used as a hydrophilic agent, and the hydrophilic agent is coated on the surface of the hydrophobic fiber. For the second non-woven fabric layer, it is preferable to use fatty acid such as polyglycerol fatty acid ester, polyether-polyester block copolymer, polyether-modified silicone, and ethylene oxide addition polyol as a hydrophilic agent. Ester-like, even in contact with water, it is not easy to get off the fiber surface The separated substance is used as a hydrophilic agent, and the hydrophilic agent is coated on the surface of the hydrophobic fibers, or the hydrophilic agent is premixed into the fibers. Alternatively, a hydrophilic fiber or a mixed hydrophilic fiber may be used as the constituent fiber of the second nonwoven layer.
於第一不織布層或第二不織布層中,為了調整這些層之親水性,亦可於各層中以0.1質量%至5質量%左右之比率調配棉纖維或嫘縈纖維。另外,為了提高不織布之隱蔽性,亦可於第一不織布層或第二不織布層之構成纖維中以3質量%以下之比率調配氧化鈦等顏料。 In the first non-woven fabric layer or the second non-woven fabric layer, in order to adjust the hydrophilicity of these layers, cotton fibers or rayon fibers can also be blended in each layer at a ratio of about 0.1 mass % to 5 mass %. In addition, in order to improve the concealment of the non-woven fabric, a pigment such as titanium oxide may be blended in the constituent fibers of the first non-woven fabric layer or the second non-woven fabric layer at a ratio of 3 mass % or less.
第一不織布層與第二不織布層較佳為藉由熱接著而彼此接合。詳細而言,較佳為藉由熱接著將第一不織布層之構成纖維與第二不織布層之構成纖維於彼此之接點或交點接合。若如此般將第一不織布層與第二不織布層接合,則容易蓬鬆地形成積層不織布,並且提高自第一不織布層向第二不織布層之通液性。作為將第一不織布層與第二不織布層熱接著之方法,可列舉以下方法:使用熱風貫通式熱處理機、熱風噴附式熱處理機、紅外線式熱處理機等熱處理裝置,以將第一不織布層與第二不織布層積層之狀態噴附熱風或進行氛圍加熱。 The first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer are preferably bonded to each other by thermal bonding. Specifically, the constituent fibers of the first non-woven fabric layer and the constituent fibers of the second non-woven fabric layer are preferably joined at the joints or intersections with each other by thermal bonding. When the first nonwoven fabric layer and the second nonwoven fabric layer are joined in this way, the laminated nonwoven fabric can be easily formed in a bulky manner, and the liquid permeability from the first nonwoven fabric layer to the second nonwoven fabric layer can be improved. As a method of thermally bonding the first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer, the following methods can be mentioned: using a heat treatment device such as a hot air through-type heat treatment machine, a hot air spray type heat treatment machine, an infrared heat treatment machine, etc. The state of the second non-woven fabric layered layer is sprayed with hot air or heated by atmosphere.
積層不織布之基重只要根據不織布之用途而適當選擇即可,例如較佳為20g/m2以上,更佳為28g/m2以上,又 更佳為35g/m2以上,另外,較佳為80g/m2以下,更佳為70g/m2以下,又更佳為65g/m2以下。另外,第一不織布層之基重較佳為積層不織布之基重之20%以上,更佳為30%以上,又更佳為40%以上,另外,較佳為75%以下,更佳為70%以下,又更佳為65%以下。 The basis weight of the laminated non - woven fabric can be appropriately selected according to the purpose of the non - woven fabric. 80 g/m 2 or less, more preferably 70 g/m 2 or less, still more preferably 65 g/m 2 or less. In addition, the basis weight of the first non-woven fabric layer is preferably 20% or more of the basis weight of the laminated non-woven fabric, more preferably 30% or more, still more preferably 40% or more, and more preferably 75% or less, more preferably 70% or more % or less, more preferably 65% or less.
於一個形態中,積層不織布可僅由第一不織布層及第二不織布層所構成。於另一形態中,積層不織布亦可具有將第一不織布層積層於第二不織布層之兩個面的構造。於又一形態中,積層不織布亦可具有將相同或不同之第二不織布層積層兩個以上之構造。 In one form, the laminated non-woven fabric may consist of only the first non-woven fabric layer and the second non-woven fabric layer. In another form, the laminated non-woven fabric may have a structure in which the first non-woven fabric layer is laminated on both surfaces of the second non-woven fabric layer.

The inverse of the specific volume becomes the apparent density.
(3-3)回滲 (3-3) Rewet
將尤妮佳(Unicharm)股份有限公司製造之Lifely安心吸尿墊(註冊商標)之上層不織布剝離,於剩餘之吸收體上載置一張衛生紙(tissue paper),於該衛生紙上以第一層纖維網成為上側之方式設置積層不織布,使積層不織布吸收80g人工尿,放置5分鐘。然後,於吸收了人工尿之部分重疊濾紙,於該濾紙上載置3.5kg之砝碼3分鐘。此時之荷重係設為3.5kg/(15cm×15cm)。取下砝碼,測定吸收了人工尿之濾紙之重量,將減去濾紙重量所得之量作為回滲量。將該順序進行2次,分別求出第一次回滲量及第二次回滲量。 Peel off the upper non-woven fabric of the Lifely Urine Absorbent Pad (registered trademark) manufactured by Unicharm Co., Ltd., place a piece of tissue paper on the remaining absorbent body, and place the first layer of fiber on the toilet paper. The layered non-woven fabric was installed so that the net became the upper side, and the layered non-woven fabric was allowed to absorb 80 g of artificial urine and left for 5 minutes. Then, the filter paper was overlapped on the part which absorbed the artificial urine, and the weight of 3.5 kg was placed on the filter paper for 3 minutes. The load at this time is set to 3.5kg/(15cm×15cm). Remove the weight, measure the weight of the filter paper that has absorbed the artificial urine, and use the amount obtained by subtracting the weight of the filter paper as the rewet amount. This procedure was performed twice, and the first rewet amount and the second rewet amount were obtained, respectively.
(3-4)不織布之質感 (3-4) Texture of non-woven fabric
使10人作為監視員進行官能試驗,並按以下之評價基準對不織布之質感進行評分,算出該評分之平均分。官能試驗之項目係設為柔軟度及肌膚觸碰感,以製造例7之不織布之質感為基準。 The sensory test was performed by 10 persons as monitors, and the texture of the nonwoven fabric was scored according to the following evaluation criteria, and the average score of the scores was calculated. The items of the sensory test were set as softness and skin touch, and were based on the texture of the nonwoven fabric of Production Example 7.
+5-良好 +5 - good
+4-稍良好 +4 - slightly better
+3-不置可否(製造例7) +3 - Noncommittal (Manufacturing Example 7)
+2稍差 +2 slightly worse
+1-差 +1 - bad
(4)結果 (4) Results
製造例1至製造例6中所得之不織布具有包含同芯芯鞘型複合纖維之短纖維不織布,其中上述同芯芯鞘型複合纖維含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯作為鞘成分。因此,以手觸碰不織布時之柔軟度及肌膚觸碰感優異。製造例1至製造例6之不織布中,第一層之比容積小於第二層,亦即第一層之表觀密度大於第二層的製造例1至製造例5之不織布係回滲量少。另一方面,製造例7、製造例8中所得之不織布不具有包含同芯芯鞘型複合纖維之短纖維不織布,其中上述同芯芯鞘型複合纖維含有直鏈狀低密度聚乙烯作為鞘成分(製造例7係第一層包含偏芯芯鞘型複合纖維之不織布,製造例8係第一層包含含有高密度聚乙烯作為鞘成分之芯鞘型複合纖維的不織布),因此於以手觸碰不織布時,柔軟度或肌膚觸碰感稍差。 The nonwoven fabrics obtained in Production Examples 1 to 6 have short fiber nonwoven fabrics comprising core-sheath-type conjugate fibers containing linear low-density polyethylene as a sheath component. Therefore, when the nonwoven fabric is touched by hand, it is excellent in softness and skin touch. In the non-woven fabrics of Production Examples 1 to 6, the specific volume of the first layer is smaller than that of the second layer, that is, the apparent density of the first layer is greater than that of the second layer. The non-woven fabrics of Production Examples 1 to 5 have less rewet . On the other hand, the nonwoven fabrics obtained in Production Example 7 and Production Example 8 did not have the staple fiber nonwoven fabric containing the core-sheath-type conjugate fibers, wherein the core-sheath-type conjugate fibers contained linear low-density polyethylene as a sheath component (Manufacturing Example 7 is a non-woven fabric whose first layer contains eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fibers, and Manufacturing Example 8 is a non-woven fabric whose first layer contains core-sheath type conjugate fibers containing high-density polyethylene as a sheath component.) When touching non-woven fabrics, the softness or skin touch is slightly less.
本發明之不織布及積層不織布可用於吸收性物品、醫療用不織布製品、日常擦拭巾、貼附劑之基布等。 The non-woven fabric and laminated non-woven fabric of the present invention can be used for absorbent articles, medical non-woven fabric products, daily wipes, base fabrics for adhesives, and the like.
