Definitions

  • the invention relates to surface modifying macromolecules (SMMs) having high degradation temperatures and their use in the manufacture of articles made from base polymers which require high temperature processing.
  • SMMs surface modifying macromolecules
  • Various fluorochemicals have been used to impart water and oil repellency, as well as soil resistance, to a variety of substrates. These fluorochemicals have most often been applied topically (for example, by spraying, padding, or finish bath immersion).
  • the resulting repellent substrates have found use in numerous applications where water and/or oil repellency (as well as soil resistance) characteristics are valued, such as in protective garments for medical technicians and laboratory workers.
  • the repellent substrates can be used, for example, where it is desirable to prevent passage of blood, blood-borne pathogens, and other body fluids across the fabric (i.e., to block exposure to chemically toxic or infectious agents), and to reduce exposure to low surface tension chemicals, such as alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes.
  • Medical care garments and protective wear garments used commercially are often fully or partially constructed of extruded articles e.g. thermoplastic films, thermoplastic fibers, fibrous non-woven materials, thermoplastic foam materials etc. Examples of these products are in surgical drapes, gowns and bandages, protective wear garments (e.g., workers overalls, facemasks, and labcoats, among others). These materials require high temperature processing conditions often exceeding 200° C.
  • fluorochemicals lack the requisite thermal stability to be processed at temperatures above 200° C. (for example, in melt spun applications where high extrusion temperatures often exceeding 275-300° C. are involved).
  • thermally s′ additives which can be used in admixture with base polymers that require high temperature processing to impart water, oil repellency, and/or lower surface energy.

  • SMM admixtures prepared according to Example 2 were analyzed by XPS to determine the concentration of surface fluorine (hydrophobic) as well as the Urethane chemistries (polar groups). The measurements were performed at a single take-off angle of 90° corresponding to a depth of 100 ⁇ or at 20° corresponding to a depth of 10 ⁇ , and a surface area of 4 ⁇ 7 mm 2 was analyzed.
  • the films were investigated for relative atomic percentages of fluorine (F), oxygen (O), nitrogen, carbon (C), and silicon (Si).
  • the SMM additives were compounded into master batches and diluted to concentrations of 2-3 weight % in the meltblowing process.
  • Processing aids e.g., commercially available low-molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers
  • Nonwoven fabric was obtained in the meltblowing process conducted at 260° C. with a throughput of 0.4 g/hole/min.
  • the nonwoven fabric produced was soft in texture, with a basis weight of ⁇ 25 gsm and a fiber diameter of ⁇ 3 ⁇ m.
  • Repellency tests using various concentrations of 70% isopropanol (IPA) solutions were conducted on the fabric immediately after it emerged from the meltblowing process line. The fabric was again tested after annealing at low temperatures in an air flow oven.
  • the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) standard test method 193-2005 was used for repellency testing of the fabric, with the modification that solutions were prepared in volumetric concentrations instead of ratios.
  • AATCC American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists
  • FIG. 13 illustrates the repellency of treated and untreated nonwoven fabric.
  • the control fabric polypropylene without SMM treatment
  • the fabric on the right shows remarkable repellency indicated by the shape of the IPA droplet on the fabric without wetting.
  • Heat exposure encountered during sterilization is sufficient to promote migration of SMM additives, with no additional annealing required.
  • desired repellency of the fabric can also be achieved by brief contact exposure (2-10 seconds) to temperatures of 100-130° C.
  • Fabrics for medical garments may experience such conditions during standard manufacturing processes, such as drying of anti-static treatments or calendar bonding of multilayer fabrics.
  • FIG. 14 illustrates repellency achieved on MB fabrics after brief, direct contact with hot plate surfaces at 100-130° C.
  • SMMs were used in a spunbond (SB) trial conducted on R&D prototyping equipment set up to mimic conditions of a spunbond pilot line. Specifically, a small-scale extruder with 4 temperature zones was connected to a metering pump and a die with 68 spinnerette holes. The extruder was positioned on scaffolding above a guiding shaft that directed the extruded fibers into an attenuator gun supplied with high pressure air, which was used to stretch the extruded fibers. The attenuated fibers were deposited on a moving mesh in a random fashion. The nonwoven webs thus formed were not bonded.
  • SB spunbond
  • the compounded resins were extruded into spunbond nonwoven webs using the R&D equipment at a process temperature of 230° C. at the die.
  • FIG. 15 shows repellency to alcohol solutions with concentrations as high as 80 vol % IPA can be achieved on spunbond fabrics modified with SMMs.
