Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of multi-layer non-wovens, which can be used as an absorbent material, particularly in the field of surface cleaning, personal hygiene or for the formation of garments. BACKGROUND OF THE ART [0002].
  • a non-woven is widely used as a replacement for traditional textile products in a number of sectors, for example in the field of cleaning and protection of surfaces, or in the production of garments. Compared to traditional fabrics, the non-woven have the advantage of lower production costs, outstanding mechanical properties and a high biocompatibility with skin.
  • Non-wovens are formed by synthetic, natural or naturally-derived material fibers, which are arranged on a mat in a molten state and left to solidify in the form of a layer; the thus obtained structure can be consolidated by dynamic treatments such as point-bonding or calendering or by water jets (hydro-entangling) ; other prior art bonding processes are mechanic needling, thermobonding, chemical bonding, etc.
  • Non-woven fibers generally consist of a single component; however for particular applications they may also be produced in a multi-component form, through the joint extrusion of different polymers.
  • the non-woven fibers are used in the form of single-ply or in the form of multi-layer composites; of the multi-layer composites those containing one or more layers of non-woven, associated to a layer of cellulose fibers are known: in these cases the final composite advantageously combines the non-woven mechanical properties to the absorbent properties of cellulose fibers.
  • the continuous thread fibers of each of the outer layers of non-woven do not entangle suitably either with one another or with the fibers of different layers but rather they protrude from the respective outer surfaces in the form of tiny slots.
  • the non-woven tends to stick in a bothersome way to the rough surface due to miniscule contacts between said slots and the ribs of the rough surface.
  • US patent 5,587,225 discloses a composite formed by a cellulose layer interposed between two outer non- woven layers, in which the non-woven fibers are not smooth, but have a series of creases or "crimps" per unit length of the fiber.
  • the outer layers are then made integral with the cellulose layer by hydro-entangling, and final fixing of the 3 layers made adhesively or thermally (calendering) .
  • the crimping and creasing processes make the composite preparation process longer and more expensive, and they considerably reduce the softness of the product.
  • O-A-01/63032 discloses a multi-layer cellulose/non-woven composite wherein the layer of non-woven is carded and pre-consolidated separately by means of calendering. The different layers of the composite are thus overlapped and entangled by means of hydro-entangling. Also in this case it is necessary to resort to additional processes of non-woven calendering and pre-consolidation in order to obtain a multi-layer composite with acceptable performance, and limit the loss of pulp during hydro-entangling. [0009] .
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome all the inconveniences mentioned with reference to the multi-layer non-wovens obtained according to the state of the art and particularly according to the processes described above.
  • the single- or multi-layer non- woven fabric is of a hydro-entangled type based on exploded continuous thread or splittable multi-component continuous thread fibers.
  • the thus obtained fabric has for example high characteristics of softness and resilience.
  • continuous thread fibers is meant herein a single continuous fiber composed of one or more synthetic or natural polymer components that may be decomposed into single micro-fibers, or filaments, according to the type of fiber used. Accordingly, both the splittable multi-component polymer fibers and the exploded polymer fibers give origin to micro-fibers, which are thinner than the fibers from which they derive.

  • a first object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for the production of a single- or multi-layer hydro-entangled non-woven comprising exploded fibers or splittable multi-component fibers .
  • a second object of the present invention is a hydro-entangled single- or multi-layer non-woven, based on exploded fibers or based on splittable multi-component fibers .
  • the fiber forming the non-wovens of the present invention is a continuous fiber and is generally produced by three technologies: a. production of bi-component synthetic polymer fibers (multisegments) , that are can be split with a hydro- entangling machine; b. production of synthetic polymer fibers with explosion effect, for example polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene (technology known as "Nanoval” described in patent applications WO-A-02052070 and DE-A-19929709, incorporated herein for reference) ; c. production of natural fibers with explosion (such as Lyocell, PLA, etc.) by "Nanoval" technology described above.
  • the manufacturing steps generally comprise the supply of the non-woven layer Ti in the form of fibers by means of a spinneret 1 (extruder) coupled up to a conventional suction fan A, a hydro-entangling station 2, a drying station 3 and a rewinding station 4 of the hydro-entangled layer into a roll.
  • a spinneret 1 extruder
  • a drying station 3 a drying station
  • a rewinding station 4 of the hydro-entangled layer into a roll.
  • the process for the production of a non-woven comprises the following manufacturing steps; a) preparing at least one layer (Tj . ) of splittable multi-component polymer fibers; b) hydro-entangling said at least one layer such as to obtain a non-woven in which the multi-component polymer fibers are split into mono-component micro-fibers that entangle with one another.
  • step a) comprises:
  • the production of a multi-layer composite in accordance with the present invention generally provides, on the other hand, the supplying of the first layer of non-woven Ti by means of a special spinneret 5, one or more stations 6 for the laying of cellulose pulp 60, the laying of a second layer of non- woven fabric T 2 by means of a special spinneret 7, hydro- entangling 8, drying 9 and rewinding 10.
  • splittable multi-component fibers may be produced through extrusion by spinnerets of polymer materials such as to form continuous fibers, in accordance with the technology a. identified above. These fibers when exiting from the spinnerets are hit by a jet of compressed air that causes the elongation and the electrostatic charging thereof such to cause a mutual repulsion causing them to fall randomly onto a conveyor belt.
  • splittable multi-component synthetic fibers may be formed for the separate extrusion of the individual polymers in a molten state in the form of threads 50, 70 that protrude from orifices, of capillary dimensions, of a spinneret 5, 7 and the union thereof below the spinneret.
  • the polymers at the molten state are linked in a single fiber combined by extrusion of the individual polymer threads in directions such as to cause the contact thereof and the adhesion thereof, as described in patent US 6,627,025.
  • a suction fan A positioned below the spinneret has the function of sucking and conveying the individual threads of extruded polymer in order to favour the bonding thereof into a single fiber.
  • the synthetic fibers may be composed of at least two threads of a single polymer up to 16 threads of different polymers, be they homopolymers, copolymers or mixtures thereof.
  • the polymers may be selected from polyesters, polyamides, polyolefins, polyurethane, polyester modified with additives, polypropylene, polyethylene, polypropylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate.
  • such polymers may be selected such that in the fibers adjacent polymers cannot mix or in any case have poor affinity in order to favour the subsequent separation thereof.
  • the polymers may be additized with lubricants that prevent the adhesion thereof.
  • the longitudinal, axial portion of the fiber usually has a greater force of cohesion than the peripheral portion, it may be advantageous to spin multi-component fibers such as to leave an axial hole or in any case a weakened axial portion.
  • a layer of splittable multi-component polymer fibers has been laid through the special spinneret 5 onto a conveyor belt S such as to create a first layer of spun-bonded non-woven fabric T if one layer of absorbent material T 3 such as cellulose pulp is laid on said layer of non-woven fabric.

  • the fibers are subject to hydro- entangling at the hydro-entangling station 8.
  • This treatment advantageously enables to split the polymer fibers that compose the outer layers of non-woven in micro-fibers and to entangle them with one another and with the cellulose pulp fibers.
  • the hydro-entangling is made not only on side Si of the support S on which the fibers are laid but also on side S 2 , opposite side S lf through special through holes (not shown in the figures) and suitable equipment positioned on said side S 2 (not shown) .

  • Figure 3 shows the splittable multi-component polymer fiber before (3a) and after (3b) the hydro- entangling treatment.
  • the process for the production of non-woven based on exploded polymer fibers comprises the following manufacturing steps : i) preparing at least one layer (Ti) of exploded polymer fibers; ii) hydro-entangling said at least one layer such as to obtain a non-woven fabric in which the polymer fibers are exploded into micro-fibers entangling with one another.
  • the step i) comprises:
  • the step i) comprises:
  • Nanoval technology consists in producing molten polymer threads protruding from spinning holes arranged in one or more rows placed in a chamber with a given pressure value separated from the outside environment and filled with gas, generally air. Said threads come to an area of rapid acceleration of this gas when exiting from the camera, the outlet being made in the form of a Laval nozzle.
  • the raw materials that caii be spun are both of natural origin, such as cellulose Lyocell, PLA, and synthetic or such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polyester.
  • the spinning mass is forced through a elongated nozzle in the form of a slit into a chamber separated from the environment with a given pressure, as above, into which gas, for example air, is introduced.
  • gas for example air
  • the film that is released from said nozzle reaches an area of rapid acceleration of the gas released from said camera. Below the acceleration area, i.e. in the stress release area, the film explodes and substantially endless micro-fibers or filaments are obtained.
  • they have very different diameters and thickenings in the shape of knots .
  • the Laval nozzle is cylindrical and elongated with a convergent edge so that the transversal section thereof is narrow upstream and then rapidly widens downstream.

  • flow speeds near to those of sound are obtained whereas in the wider part of the Laval nozzle speeds are higher than those of sound.
  • micro-fibers are not damaged in their molecular structure by the use of high temperatures. Accordingly, the end product has greater resistance and therefore shows slower wear over time. [0048] .
  • a further advantage also in relation to the technology that employs splittable polymer fibers lies in the fact that a greater density of individual micro- fibers per each fiber is obtained. In other words the fiber divides into a number of components with equal initial diameters, i.e. the micro-fibers (filaments) that are obtained are at least 10 times finer, preferably up to 100 times finer.
  • the steps are as follows: laying the first layer Ti by means of the spinneret 11, pre-hydro-entangling through equipment 12, drying through equipment 13, laying cellulose pulp T 3 through equipment 14, laying the second layer T 2 through spinneret 15, hydro-entangling with hydro-entangling machine 16, drying through equipment 17 and rewinding onto a roller 18.
  • the production process and system may also provide a dewatering step or station 19 associated to the drying step or station.
  • the advantage of a pre- hydro-entangling step is that it allows to create a first layer of split or exploded polymer fibers that, thanks to the greater density of the entangling of the micro-fibers of said fiber, helps to lay fibers of absorbent material and prevents the partial loss thereof through spaces too wide, which are left by prior art technologies.
  • the step of laying fibers of absorbent material is preferably made with cellulose pulp fibers having a length that may vary from 0, i.e. cellulose powder, to 2.5 ram, preferably from 1 to 2 mm .
  • the process according to the invention may provide a drying step after the hydro- entangling step and, preferably also after the pre-hydro- entangling step.
  • a further step may consist in the elimination of the water contained in the fibers by means of a dewatering step.
  • said step consists in arranging a condenser 19 below support S for the non- woven fibers to which a completely conventional suction fan (not shown) is usually coupled up. The air sucked through the holes made on said support is conveyed into said condenser where it releases the water contained therein.
  • Equipment of this type is described for example in patent application PCT/IT2004/000127 of the same applicant .
  • the process may also comprise an embossing step of the multi-layer non-woven.
  • the embossing may consist in a calendering treatment made by making the non-woven being heated and pass under pressure between a pair of engraved rollers, in accordance with conventional techniques, or through a further step in a hydro- entangling machine.
  • embossing step does not mean a consolidation of the non- oven as occurs according to the prior art mentioned previously but simply constitutes a step enabling to make captions and/or three dimensional drawings in order to personalize or decorate the non- oven through a "thermoembossing" or “hydroembossing” calender.
  • the process comprises sucking the air at room temperature through the abovementioned through holes (non shown in the drawings) made in the support S for the fibers.
  • the splittable or exploded polymer fibers, laid at the molten state are cooled and cured.
  • a humidifier (not shown) can be arranged, which humidifies the exploded fibers immediately before laying them on the support S either to help or improve the softness of the end product.
  • said process may comprise one or more of the following final steps, known per se, in order to increase or add additional characteristics to the end product : coloring or finishing of a chemical nature as the anti-pilling treatment and the hydrophile treatment, antistatic treatment, improvement of flame proof properties, substantially mechanical treatments such as napping, sanforizing, emerizing.
  • the non-woven may be subject to a further process of multicolor printing using the equipment described in patent application PCT/IT2004/000127 of the same applicant.
  • a sheet of non-woven at the end of the process described above may be printed directly in-line following the steps of : - providing equipment for printing of non-woven comprising a moving support for the transport of said non-woven and at least one moving print organ;
  • the process in accordance with the present invention may comprise a step of winding the non- woven on to a roller 18. [0058] .
  • a "crimp" effect can be advantageously obtained avoiding the use of engraved calenders or machines for mechanical "crimping” , by simply laying all the fibers that compose the multilayer non-woven on a support (figure 2A and 2B) having a surface comprising at least one section with a substantially perpendicular profile to the vertical flow of laying of said fibers interspaced by at least one section with an inclined profile of 10°-50° in relation to said vertical flow.

  • the number of micro-fibers in said fibers generally ranges between 2 and 16.
  • - elongation calculated as a percentage of the length in a relaxed state, ranged between 35% and 85% in machine direction (MD) , preferably between 45% and 75%, whereas it ranged between 70% and
  • the micro-fibers (filaments) have a diameter ranging between 1 micron and 5 micron, preferably between 2 and 4 micron. Obviously said values may vary according to the type of preset characteristics for the end product and will depend on the production parameters selected, as described above, and in any case known to a man skilled in the art. [0065]. As to a three-layer non- oven having one inner layer of cellulose pulp fibers and two outer layers of polymer fibers consisting of a single exploded polymer component, analytic tests showed the following physical characteristics given in the table:
  • the final thickness of the multi-layer non-woven advantageously reaches values of up to 0.65 mm and a
  • the products obtained according to the present invention have a plus of resistance, softness and have a better appearance. Besides the thickness is increased either by the explosion effect (Nanoval technology) , or (splittable fibers) by the split effect, and by a technology of laying continuous thread fibers on the mat: the type of the mat (not smooth) may be as illustrated in figure 2.
  • the abovementioned characteristics result from the combination of the use of splittable multi-component polymer fibers or of exploded polymer fibers in a process of hydro-entangling to obtain a multi-layer non-woven.
