Definitions
- This invention relates generally to microporous/nonwoven composites which exhibit breathability and good barrier properties. In one aspect it relates to a composite comprising a nonwoven layer, a microporous layer, and a staple fiber layer. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of laminating webs comprising a nonwoven web, a mirco-porous web, and a staple fiber web.
- Microporous films have long been used in applications requiring both breathability (or water vapor transmissibility) and barrier to liquids.
- Commercially available microporous films include Celgard 2400 polypropylene film, EXXAIRE polyethylene film produced by Exxon Chemical Company, and TetraTex, a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene film produced by TetraTek Corporation, and Gore-Tex produced by W. L. Gore & Associates.
- Other microporous films include those made from polyamides, polyesters, polyurethane, and polypropylene.
- Nonwoven webs because of their high porosity, are highly breathable but exhibit little or no barrier properties. Efforts have been made to combine nonwovens with microporous film to arrive at a composite which possesses a balance of breathable and barrier properties.
- Such a composite has uses in health care, protective apparel, footwear, etc.
- Patents which disclose microporous films and microporous film composites include the following:
- U.S. Patent 4,777,073 discloses a breathable polyolefin film prepared by melt embossing a highly filled polyolefin film which is stretched to impart greater permeability to the film;

- the present invention relates to composite web structures which are breathable and possess good strength and barrier properties.
- the composite constructed according to the present invention exhibits desirable aesthetic and comfort properties.
- the composite of the present invention has a wide range of uses where breathability and barrier properties are necessary, it is particularly adapted for use as pro-tective apparel.
- the composite of the present invention comprises, in its broadest embodiment, a three-layered structure having a core layer of staple fiber web, flanked by, and adhesively bonded to, a microporous film, and a nonwoven web.
- the composite comprises the following four layers:
- a first nonwoven web preferably a meltblown or spundbond web
- a microporous film adhesively bonded to the nonwoven web (a);
- a staple fiber web preferably cotton staple fibers, adhesively bonded to the microporous film
- a second nonwoven web preferably a meltblown web, adhesively bonded to the staple fiber web.
- the structure combines the barrier properties of the microporous film, the breathability and strength of the non-woven webs, and the comfort and wicking properties of the staple fibers.
- the nonwoven webs also improve the aesthetics (appearance and soft hand) and add to the comfort for the user. Tests have also shown that the nonwoven webs, par-ticularly meltblown webs, contribute to the barrier properties of the composite.
- the staple fiber web which exhibits hydro-philic characteristics, provides a wicking or reservoir layer for moisture and aqueous liquids.
- the preferred method of laminating the webs to form the composite involves the steps of (a) applying a thin coat of an adhesive onto the webs so is at the interface of each web to form a composite and (b) feeding the composite into the nip of calender rolls maintained at a low temperature (e.g. less than 100°C) to pressure bond the webs together.
- the method may be carried out in one pass through the calender wherein all four layers are pressure bonded together, or in two or more passes through the calender wherein two or three layers are bonded together in one pass followed by the addition of one or more layers in subsequent passes.
- a particularly surprising aspect of the present invention is that it produces composite structures that are capable of passing both the Blood and Viral Penetration Tests for protec-tive clothing materials under ASTM Designations ES 21-92 and ES 22-92, respectively.
- Figure 1 is a schematic illustrating the lamination process for making the composite of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-section of a composite of the present invention.
- the composites of the present invention exhibit both breathability and resistance to liquids, and are useful in a variety of medical and/or hygiene applications such as protective apparel, wound dressings, sterile dressings, absorbents (e.g. diapers), face masks and the like.
- Composites used in many of these applications should have the following properties:
- the composite should in addition have absorbency for liquids.
- the composite constructed according to the present inven-tion combines the barrier properties of microporous film, the breathability, appearance and strength of nonwovens, and the absorbency and comfort of cotton.
- the composite comprises a core web of staple fibers which exhibits hydrophilic wetting characteristics, and flanking layers of a microporous film and a nonwoven web.
- Each of the layers of the three-layered structure are adhesively bonded together by a low temperature, low pressure bonding process.
- the composite further includes a second web of a nonwoven adhesively bonded to the outer layer of the microporous film.
- Nonwoven webs are webs made of randomly oriented fibers or filaments of thermoplastic polymer by entangling the fibers or filaments through mechanical, thermal, or chemical means.
- Nonwovens exclude paper and products which are woven, knitted, tufted, or felted by wet milling.
- the preferred nonwoven webs for use in the present invention are the spunbonded and melt-blown webs.
- the spunbonded webs are formed by filaments that have been extruded, drawn, laid on a continuous belt, and then immediately thermally bonded by passing through a heated calender. These webs are continuous filament fiber structures having an average fiber diameter between 12 and 50 microns.
- meltblown webs are made by extruding a molten plastic through a row of die openings to form filaments and contacting the extruded filaments with high velocity sheets of converging hot air.
- the converging air contacts and attenuates or draws the filaments down, depositing them as fibers onto a collector in a random pattern, forming a meltblown web.
- the meltblown webs have average fiber size between 0.5 to 15 microns which is substantially smaller than the average fiber size of the spunbond web.
- meltblown webs are generally held together by fiber entanglement with some thermal bonding whereas the spunbond webs are generally thermal bonded by the calender, although spunbond webs are also bonded by chemical, adhesive, and needling processes.
- the nonwoven webs can be made of any synthetic thermoplastic polymer used in meltblowing or spunbond processes.
- these include the following: polyolefins, particularly ethylene and propylene homopolymers and copolymers (including EVA and EMA copolymers), nylon, polyamines, polyester, polystyrene, poly-4-methylpentene, polymethylmethacrylates, polytrifluorochloro-ethylene, polyurethanes, polycarbonates, silicones, polyphenylene sulfide, and polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate.

- the nonwovens may include additives to impart desired properties to the webs.
- additives are wetting agents, fluorochemicals, antistatics, and anti-microbiotic agents.
- the nonwoven webs in a preferred embodiment comprise the outer two layers of the four layer structure. These webs impart strength to the structure, improve the hand (softness to the feel) and wearability, and improve the comfort and appearance giving the composite fabric a clothlike appearance and feel.
- microporous film means microporous membrane.
- film and membrane are used interchangeably herein.
- Microporous films are defined as having a narrow pore sized distribution in the submicron range, from 1.0 to 10 microns.
- the microporous films can be made by a number of processes, which include (a) dissolving polymers in solution followed by extraction of the solvent by water vapor, (b) stretching of crystallizable polymers which results in microsized tears, and (c) stretching of a mineral filled polyolefin film.
- the polymers used in the microporous films include PTFE, polyolefins, polyurethanes, polyamides, and polyesters.
- the preferred microporous film used in the present invention is a polyolefin prepared by stretching a highly filled polyolefin film to impart permeability therein, in accordance with U.S. Patent 4,777,073, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the microporous film prepared by this process exhibits excellent breathability, at least 3,000, and generally from 4,000 to 10,000 grams per square meter per day, and in comparison to other microporous film is inexpensive.
- Polyolefins used to make the film include polypropylene, copolymers of propylene, homopolymers, and copolymers of ethylene and blends thereof.

- the synthetic man-made fibers may be made from thermo-plastics such as polyolefins (including polypropylene and polyethylene), polyesters, and polyamides which are extruded to the proper diameter
- the staple or natural fibers may be any cellulosic base fibers, such as cotton, ramie, hemp, flax, jute, kenaf, bagasse, eucalyptus, rayon, and combinations thereof but do not include wood fiber.
- the staple fibers may be formed into a web by any of the presently known processes, including, but not limited to, thermal bonding, latex bonding, or carding, or needle-punching, or hydroentangling.
- the preferred web of staple fibers includes cotton fibers or cotton fibers blended with other staple fibers.
- the cotton fibers preferably have a fineness of between about 3 to 5 micronaire units to give the web flexibility.
- the cotton staple fibers have an average width of about 15 to 20 microns.
- the staple fibers which exhibit absorbency for aqueous based materials such as water and blood, act as a reservoir for any liquid or blood.
- the wicking property of the hydro-philic layer also absorbs water vapor.
- the staple fiber web improves the comfort property of the composite.
- any of the adhesives compatible with polyolefins and the staple fibers may be used.
- the preferred adhesives are the hot melt adhesives such as the polypropylene based adhesives, and EVA adhesive, (e.g. 20-40 wt% VA) .
- Thermal bonding has a tendency to damage the microporous film by introducing pinholes.
- the preferred technique for applying the adhesive is by melt-spraying or meltblowing of adhesives wherein an air/adhesive spray is deposited on one of the surfaces to be bonded. Both the meltblowing or meltspraying involve extruding a filament or filaments of a hot melt adhesive from a die and contacting the filament or filaments with air to either stretch or attenuate the filament or break it up into droplets which are deposited on the surface of the web.
- the amount of adhesive deposited on the web may vary within a wide range, but it should be sufficient to ensure good adhesion but not so much that substantial amounts of the pores of the web are plugged. Application from about 1 to 10 grams per square meter of the adhesive should be sufficient, with 1 to 5 grams per square meter being preferred.
- Nonthermal means the composite is formed by applying a bonding pressure at temperatures below melting point or softening temperature of the polymers used in the laminate. With polyolefins, this means that the temperatures are carried out below 100°C and preferably below 50°C, most preferably below 30°C. The lower limit of the laminating temperature will be ambient which, depending on the geographic location, may vary widely from 0°C to 50°C.
- a laminating apparatus 10 which may be used in lami-nating the composite of the present invention is schematically illustrated in Figure 1.
- the laminating assembly comprises a plurality of spindles 11, 12, 13, and 14 for receiving rolls of web and film, guide and tension rollers 15, meltblowing dies 16, 17, and 18, calender rolls 19 and 20, and take-up spindle 21.
- the various rolls may be mounted on the feed spindles 11-14 in the manner described below.
- a roll 22 of nonwoven web is mounted on spindle 11, with web 23 dispensed therefrom, trained around rollers 15, disposed under the die 16, and fed into the nip of calender rolls 19 and 20.
- a roll 24 of microporous film is mounted on spindle 12 with web 25 dispensed therefrom, disposed under die 17, and fed into the nip of calender rolls 19 and 20.
- a roll 26 of staple fiber is mounted on spindle 13 and web 27 dispensed therefrom and fed into the nip of calender rolls 19 and 20.
- a roll 28 of a nonwoven web is mounted on spindle 14 and web 29 dispensed therefrom.
- Web 29 is trained around rollers 15, passing under meltblowing die 18, and into the nip of calender rolls 19 and 20.
- the calender rolls may consist of the following combi-nations:
- the embossment (area of the raised portions contacting the web passing through the nip) ranges from 5 to 35%, preferably from 10 to 25% of the total surface of the web in contact therewith.
- the four webs 23, 25, 27, and 29 are fed in overlaying relation into the nip of the rolls 19 and 20 as shown in Figure 1 and driven or pulled therethrough around guide roll 15 and wound onto spindle
- the calender rolls 19 and 20 are maintained at a temper-ature well below the softening temperature of the polymers, preferably less than 100°C and the pressure at the nip is maintained between about 50 to 150 psi, preferably 75 to 125 psi, using the smooth rolls and about 150 to 250 pounds per linear inch using the combination smooth roll and embossed roll.
- a spray 30, 31, and 32 of adhesives is deposited on a surface of each web. The adhesive deposited on such webs forms a thin discontinuous layer thereon.
- Deposition of the adhesive in this manner ensures that adhesive will be at the interface of each of the webs as they are passed through the nip of the calender rolls 19 and 20.
- the speed at which the webs are processed through the nips may vary within relatively wide ranges, but speeds of 5 to 10 meters per minute are sufficient to ensure good bonding.
- the composite 34 comprises a first nonwoven web 23 having outer surface 35 and an inner surface 36 adhesively bonded to surface 37 of microporous film 25.
- the opposite surface 38 of microporous film 25 is adhesively bonded to surface 39 of staple fiber web 27.
- surface 40 of staple fiber web 27 is adhesively bonded to surface 41 of the second nonwoven web 29.
- Surface 42 of web 29 when used as protective apparel will be in con-tact with the wearer's body, and outer surface 35 of the composite 34 will be exposed to the environment. Thus, any blood or toxic liquid of the environment coming into contact with the apparel will first have to pass through the nonwoven web 23 and then through the barrier microporous film 25.
- a variation of the lamination apparatus 10 used in the process includes basically the same apparatus without spindle 12 and die 17. In this assembly, one pass is required for three-layer laminates and two passes are required for four-layer laminates.
- the breathability of the composite 34 permits air and water vapor to pass sequentially through layers 29, 27, 25, 23, and into the environment, thus providing comfort for the wearer.
- the staple fiber layer 27 provides for the additional function of acting as a wicking material for any perspiration or liquid that might pass from the wearer outwardly.
- the composite 34 preferably has a thickness ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mils, most preferably 0.3 to 1.0 mils, and an MVTR of at least 400 g/m 2 /24 hrs. and most preferably at least 500 g/m 2 /24 hrs. MVTR of 500-1000 g/m 2 /24 hrs. will be satis-factory for most composites.
- the composite has a bursting strength of at least 10 psi and preferably of at least 15 psi.
- the composite may be made in weight ranging from 2.00 to 6.00 oz/yd 2 , preferably 2.5 to 4.0 oz/yd 2 .
- the composite of the present invention exhibits a combination of properties making it ideally suited for a number of applications:
- the composite has a soft, clothlike hand and appearance.
- a particularly useful application of the composite of the present invention is in medical protective apparel designed to protect the wearer from contact with external blood or toxic liquids, or to protect the environment from blood or liquid contamination emanating from the wearer.

- the point bonding with the embossed rolls was carried out at a nip temperature of 23°C, a nip pressure of 150 or 200 PLI, and a nip speed of 5-10 m/min.
- the smooth calendered composites (having four layers) were prepared by two passes through the calender nip. In the first pass, three layers were laminated with only minimal nip pressure. In the second pass, a fourth web was added and then passed through the calender nip at the conditions described above.
- Laminate Structures Duplicate multilayered structures were made; the webs of one being adhesively bonded together by the smooth calender (SC) and the other by the embossed calender (EC) as described above.
- SC smooth calender
- EC embossed calender
- the SERIES I TESTS were carried out on composites comprising the following layers:
- the laminates were adhesively bonded by meltblowing an adhesive onto a surface of layers (a), (b), and (c).
