- the impregnation with the resin solution is performed by roller coating or foam coating while the impregnation rate is controlled so that the air pressure is not raised. That is, the impregnation is performed in the range of 10% to 30% to prepare the resin coated material.
- thermoplastic resin may be preferably mono-spun or blend-spun or separately spun (side by side or sheath/core).
- the drying process of the web is performed by heat treatment using a fusing oven, a belt press calender or hot air.
- the prepared material may be further subjected to the steps of:
- the additional steps may be selectively performed according tothe post-process procedure.
- the present invention comprises a method for preparing a material for air pu- rif ⁇ cation by needle punching comprising the steps of: [58] a) transferring a non- woven fabric and an impregnated meltblown material from respective winding rolls; [59] b) laminating the non-woven fabric or meltblown layer and bonding the resulting laminate by a plurality of needles to form a web; and [60] c) winding the needle bonded material.
- the prepared material may be further subjected to the steps of:
- the present invention comprises a method for preparing a method for preparing a material for air purification by hot melt bonding comprising the steps of: [66] a) transferring a non-woven fabric and an impregnated meltblown material from respective winding rolls; [67] b) applying an adhesive to the non-woven fabric or meltblown layer by spray or dot application; [68] c) laminating a material with the adhesive applied on the other material by a tension roll;
- the prepared material may be further subjected to the steps of:
- the additional steps may be selectively performed according to the post-process procedure.
- the materialaccording to the present invention can be bent. Therefore, the bending process includes bending the impregnated non-woven material in accordance with a desired shape, cutting the bent material to a corresponding size and curing the product at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time.
- the curing step can be omitted according to the used resin and process. Therefore, in an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a filter element prepared by bending the material.
- the filter element may be in a star shape or a flat panel shape.
- the bending machine may be a rotary, minipleat, or knife bending machine. Among them, the knife bending machine is preferably used.
- the curing temperature to fix the bent shape is in the range of 130 to 180°C , similar to the curing temperature of the non-woven fabric.
- the final material thus obtained preferably has a pore size of 20 to 150 D, a total weight of 160 to 400 g/D DD, a total thickness of 1.0 to 4 mm and an air permeability of
- Fibers having a fiber diameter of 0.5 to 40 D may be combined.
- Dust used in the test was AC fine. The test was performed until the final pressure loss is 400 mmAg.
- Example 1 Examination of material after single impregnation [81] Among media shown in Table 1, a CB (chemical bond) nln- woven fabric (2-layer) was prepared using the following composition.
- meltblown non-woven fabric was prepared by a conventional preparation method of (extrusion-spinning-web bonding-drawing) using PET (TV:0.8) and PBT (IV:0.8) resin.
- the fabric was impregnated with an acryl resin by impregnation and examined for its properties and filter performance. The result is shown below. [86] Table 1
- Example 2 Test of chemical bond material (CB, 2-layer structure) and meltblown material (impregnation lamination) [90] The same meltblown material [4Og, 6Og, 8Og, 10Og, impregnation laminated) as used in Example 1 was used. Each meltblown material was subjected to the processfor preparing a chemical bond non-woven fabric under the same conditions as used in Example land impregnated with a resin of 15 to 30 wt% based on the weigh of the whole material to give a 3-layered composite material. The product was examined for its properties and filter performance. The result is shown below.
- the composite material had an improved filtering efficiency which was a defect of the chemical bond non- woven fabric and dust holding capacity which was a defect of the meltblown non- woven fabric. Further, it was advantageously prepared by introducing meltblown in the impregnation process for preparing the chemical bond fiber without performing a separation lamination.
- the pre-layer showed optimal effect when the meltblown material had a weight of lOOg/D or less before impregnation, thought it varied according to the material combination and the number of layer of the chemical bond non- woven fabric.
- the material was examined for strength and bending property of the meltblown. As a result, the meltblown had a strength at breakage of 1.5 kgf or more improved from 0.5 kgf and showed improved tear phenomenon such as fiber breakage upon bending.
- Example 3 Test of composite material of meltblown (MB) fabric and spun-bond (SB) fabric [96] The spun-bond non- woven fabric having a weight of 150 g/D and the impregnated product thereof which had been impregnated in an amount of about 16% based on the total weight were examined and the result is shown in Table 3.
- the impregnated material showed a better filter efficiency. It was believed that this was because the pore size was reduced by impregnation and fibers of the impregnated material were fixed, whereby the extension of the pore size was eliminated. That is, the non-impregnated material (Spun-bond 1) showed a final efficiency reduced from the initial efficiency due to the fiber immigration while the impregnated filter paper (Spun-bond 2) showed a higher final efficiency.
- meltblown 2 material weight before impregnation: 60g/D
- No.3 of Example 1 the spun-bond non-woven fabric (Spun-Bond 1) having a weight of 150 g/D were bonded by impregnation with acryl resin(about 22% of the total weight).
- the property and filter performance of the product are shown in Table 4.
- Table 4 Property and filter performance of composite bonded by resin impregnation
- Example 4 Preparation of composite material by hot-melt bonding.
- the impregnated meltblown 2 material weight after impregnation: 80g/D
- No. 3 of Example 1 and the spun-bond non-woven fabric (Spun-Bond 1) having a weight of 150 g/D were bonded to each other by Hot-Melt.
- Theproperty and filter performance of the product are shown in Table 5.
- the meltblown material used in the final layer was about 5to 40 wt%, relative to the total weight of the non- woven fabric and had a weight of about 10 to 120 g/D,an air permeability of 10 to 300 cfm and an average fiber diameter of 0.5 to 20 D to show optimal effect. Therefore, these composite materials had a total weight of 160 to 400 g/D, an air permeability of 30 to 150 cfm and a thickness of 1.0 to 4 mmto shown filter effects suitable for an internal combustion engine.
- property of the non- woven fabric used in the pre-layer varies according to the type of the non-woven fabric and desired performance.
- the non- woven fabric for an internal combustion engine had an air permeability of 50 to 450 cfm, a thickness of 1 to 3.5 mm and a weight of 30 to 400g/D to show optimal effects.
- micro meltblown fiber As the final layer, through which the fluid discharged (outlet), micro meltblown fiber was impregnated and bonded to a spun-bond material to prepare a filter.
- the filter showed excellent efficiency and life span, as compared to a conventional non-woven fabric filter or filter paper without a meltblown material applied, and satisfactory strength of the meltblown fabric and bending property. That is, as compared to a product comprising only a non- woven fabric, this filter showed increase of 10 to 100% or more in life span and 10 to 40% or more in filtration efficiency. Such increase in life span and filtration efficiency was because the filter material had a structure for deep filtration and the particles were collected in the final micro meltblown layer.
- the final micro meltblown layer can perform the deep filtration. Also, problems of strength and bending (formability) of the meltblown material were improved.
- Industrial Applicability As described above, the material for air purification coated with a resin does not have problems of strength and fiber shedding which occur when a meltblown material is used in a final layer (back layer). Also, it shows excellent processibility, dust holding efficiency and dust holding capacity, and post-processibility such as bending property and strength and thus can be used in various filtering apparatuses for automobiles or air handling units in buildings.
