Definitions
- the present invention refers to a flushable hydroentangled wipe or hygiene tissue impregnated with a wetting composition, wherein the nonwoven material comprises cellulose pulp fibers and/or manmade staple fibers.
- Pre-moistened wipes or hygiene tissue are commonly used for cleansing different parts of the human body. Examples of specific uses are baby care, hand wiping, feminine care and toilet paper or a complement to toilet paper.
- US 4,755,421 discloses a hydroentangled disintegratable nonwoven fabric used as a flushable wet wipe.
- the fabric comprises a mixture of pulp fibers and staple length regenerated cellulose fibers. No binder is added.
- US 2004/0013859 discloses a hydroentangled nonwoven web used as a wet wipe that is disintegrated with mild agitation in water.
- the nonwoven web comprises natural cellulose fibers and high crystallinity cellulose fibers, preferably lyocell fibers.
- a binder is also added, for example in the form of binder fibers.
- the nonwoven web is said to have high wet tensile strength but disintegrates or disperses with mild agitation in water, making it flushable in a sewer.
- WO 2013/015735 discloses a hydroentang!ed moist wipe that is flushable.
- the wipe material comprises pulp fibers and poly(lactic acid) fibers having a length between 8 and 20 mm.
- the wipe is free from added binders and wet-strength agents.
- JP 2008073357 discloses a hydroentangled wipe material that has water dissolving properties.
- the wipe material comprises hydrophilic fibers and fibers having a modified cross-section.
- JP 2012057289 discloses a flat hollow rayon fiber with creases formed in the outer surface. These flat rayon fibers may be used in different kinds of products, wherein water- dispersible sheets are mentioned as one example.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a moist wipe or hygiene tissue having sufficient wet strength for its intended use but which is disintegrated when flushed in a sewer.
- This object has according to the invention been solved by the fact that the moist wipe or hygiene tissue comprises a hydraulically entangled nonwoven material impregnated with a wetting composition, said nonwoven material containing cellulose pulp fibers and/or manmade staple fibers, wherein the nonwoven material also comprises disintegration elements having a projected surface area between 2 and 50 mm 2 and an aspect ratio between 1 and 10.
- the f!ushabie wipe or hygiene tissue may comprise between 0.5 and 2.5 weight% of said disintegration elements as calculated on the dry weight of the wipe or hygiene tissue.
- Said disintegration elements may be of a material having a disintegration time as measured by French Standard NF Q 34-020 that differs from the nonwoven material.
- Said disintegration elements may be of a material having a slower disintegration time as measured by French Standard NF Q 34-020 than the nonwoven material.
- the disintegration elements may be of a material selected from the following group: botanical elements, paper containing a wet-strength agent, nonwoven material, film material
- the disintegration elements may have an aspect ratio between 1 and 7.
- the thickness of the disintegration elements may be between 50 ⁇ and the thickness of the nonwoven material, preferably below 1 mm.
- the disintegration elements may be embedded by fibers in the nonwoven material,
- the disintegration elements may have a different colour or tint than the rest of the nonwoven material.
- the disintegrating elements may have a decorative and/or informative shape, such as symbols, characters, logotypes and the like.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic sketch of a hydroentangled material comprising disintegration elements according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 a-h are schematic sketches of disintegration elements having different shapes and illustrate how the aspect ratio is measured.
- a premoistened wipe or hygiene tissue according to the invention comprises a
- the wetting composition may contain a major proportion of water and other ingredients depending on the intended use.
- Wetting compositions useful in moist wipes and hygiene tissue are well-known in the art.
- Hydroentangling or spunlacing is a technique for forming a nonwoven web introduced during the 1970'ies, see e g CA patent no. 841 938.
- the method involves forming a fibre web, which is either drylaid or wetlaid, after which the fibres are entangled by means of very fine water jets under high pressure. Several rows of water jets are directed against the fibre web, which is supported by a movable foraminous support or a perforated drum. In this process the fibres entangle with one another providing sufficient bonding strength to the fibrous web without the use of chemical bonding agents. The entangled fibrous web is then dried.
- the fibres that are used in the material can be natural fibres, especially cellulosic pulp fibres, manmade staple fibres, and mixtures of pulp fibres and staple fibres. Hydroentangled materials can be produced with high quality at a reasonable cost and they possess a high absorption capacity.
- the wipe or hygiene tissue according to the invention may comprise a mixture of cellulosic pulp fibers and manmade fibers, preferably biodegradable manmade fibers such as regenerated cellulose fibres, e.g. viscose, rayon and lyocell, and/or poly(lactic acid) fibers.
- the length of these manmade fibres may be in the range of 4 to 20 mm.
- Other natural fibres than pulp fibres may also be included in the fibrous web, such as cotton fibres, sisal, hemp, ramie, flax etc. These natural fibres usually have a length of more than 4 mm.
- Cellulose pulp fibres can be selected from any type of pulp and blends thereof.
- the pulp is characterized by being entirely natural cellulosic fibres and can include wood fibres as well as cotton.
- Preferred pulp fibres are softwood papermaking pulp, although hardwood pulp and non-wood pulp, such as hemp and sisal may be used.
- the length of pulp fibres may vary from less than 1 mm for hardwood pulp and recycled pulp, to up to 6 mm for certain types of softwood pulp. Pulp fibres are advantageous to use since they are inexpensive, readily available and absorbent.
- a suitable amount of cellulose pulp fibers in the nonwoven material forming the moist wipe or hygiene tissue may be between 0 and 95% by weight cellulose pulp fibers, preferably between 50 and 95% by weight cellulose pulp fibers and more preferably between 70 and 95% by weight cellulose pulp fibers.
- a suitable amount of manmade fibers in the nonwoven material forming the moist wipe or hygiene tissue may be between 5 and 100% by weight manmade fibers, preferably between 5 and 50% by weight manmade fibers and more preferably between 5 and 30% by weight manmade fibers.
- the wipe or hygiene tissue may have a basis weight in the range 30 to 100 gsm, preferably 40 ton 80 gsm, based on the dry weight of the material.
- the fibers forming the nonwoven material according to the invention may be wetlaid, wherein a slurry comprising the fibres is wetlaid on a moving forming fabric by a headbox as in a conventional papermaking equipment.
- a special variant of wetlaying or wetforming is foamforming, wherein the fibres are dispersed in a foamed liquid containing water and a surfactant.
- the fibers may be drylaid on a moving forming fabric to form a drylaid fibrous web which is subsequently hydroentangled..
- the nonwoven material 1 comprises disintegration elements 2 in the form of flakes having a projected surface area between 2 mm 2 and 50 mm 2 and an aspect ratio L/D between 1 and 10, preferably between 1 and 7.
- the projected surface area may be measured by image analysis.
- the aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of the length L to the width D of the disintegration element 2.
- the length L is defined as the longest straight line that can be drawn/found in the element.
- Fig. 2 a-h illustrate how the aspect ratio L/D is measured for disintegration elements 2having varying shapes.
- the disintegration elements 2 are mixed with the fibers, for example in the slurry used in wetlaying.
- the disintegration elements 2 in the form of flakes having the above mentioned proportions are different from fibers and will not easily entangle with the fibers during hydroentangling. They will rather form spots in the nonwoven material that will weaken the material, preferably in the cross direction, CD, thus making it more readily disintegratable when flushed in a sewer.
- the disintegration elements 2 may be contained in the nonwoven material 1 in an amount between 0.5% by weight and 2.5% by weight as calculated on the dry weight of the nonwoven material, i.e. excluding the wetting composition.
- the disintegration elements 2 are preferably distributed throughout the area of the nonwoven material 1.
- the disintegrating elements 2 may be of a material selected from: botanical elements, wet-strong paper, i.e.
- the disintegrating elements 2 are of a biodegradable material. They should further be of a material that has a disintegration time as measured by French Standard NF Q 34-020 that differs from the nonwoven material as such, for example a slower disintegration time, such as at least 10% longer disintegration time than the nonwoven material. This will ensure that they will maintain their effect of weakening the nonwoven material until this has been disintegrated.
- the thickness of the disintegration elements should be at least 50 ⁇ and not more than the thickness of the nonwoven material, preferably less than 1 mm.
- Examples of botanical elements suited for use as disintegrating elements are petals, e g from marigold, lavender or similar flowers. Such botanical elements may have a colour or tint different from the nonwoven material as such. They may also have a fragrance and/or a skin care effect.
- the disintegrating elements 2 may be formed of cut pieces of a sheet material, e g wet- strong paper, nonwoven or film material. These pieces may have a colour or tint different from the rest of the nonwoven material. They may also have a decorative and/or informative shape such as symbols, characters, logotypes and the like.
