Description

DEODORANT FABRIC
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a fabric combining a polyester fiber and a polyurethane elastic yarn that are excellent in deodorizing effects for sweat odor and the distinctive body odor of elderly.
RELATED ART
In recent years, stretch materials have been widely used in functional inner wear and undergarments due to increasing health consciousness. Particularly, a material combining polyester fibers that is excellent in fast-drying and durability has been preferred during the summer for inner wear and athletic fields.
Needs for deodorant for sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly are extremely high in these applications, and in order to provide such function conventionally,
functionalization has been proposed by a post-processing method (Patent Document 1).
Also, a method incorporating a deodorant directly into the elastic fibers that provide elasticity has been proposed (Patent Document 2). Inorganic deodorants such as active carbon, silver-containing zeolites, zeolite, zinc oxide fine particles, and metal phosphates are used therefor. These inorganic deodorants are excellent in weather resistance and chemical resistance, and also have an excellent characteristic in which acute oral toxicity is low. In addition, because heat resistance is high, the deodorizing effects are not impaired even during the manufacturing or processing of the elastic fibers.

However, although a product with temporary deodorizing effects can be obtained by a post-processing method, there have been issues in that the texture may be damaged by a binder for adhering a functional agent to an elastic fabric, productivity is decreased due to a long manufacturing process, and deodorizing effects are deteriorated by washing repeatedly.
Further, when attempting to demonstrate the deodorizing effects by combining normal polyester fibers with elastic fibers incorporating a deodorant, the ratio of elastic fibers in the fabric (hereinafter, noted as the mixing ratio) must be significantly high, and therefore, there have been issues in that desired texture and physical properties cannot be obtained.
An object of the present invention is to provide a fabric having elasticity with excellent deodorizing effects for sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly.
MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM
The present invention in order to solve the problem described above uses any of the following means:
(1) A fabric containing a polyurethane elastic yarn and a cationic dyeable polyester fiber where a mass of 10 cm x 10 cm is greater than or equal to 1 g, wherein the polyurethane elastic yarn has a deodorant ratio of ammonia gas measured according to the detector tube method defined by Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council for 0.15 g of polyurethane elastic yarn is greater than or equal to 40% both after washing 0 times and 10 times, and a mixing ratio of the polyurethane elastic yarn is 5 to 30 wt.%.
(2) The fabric according to (1) wherein a mixing ratio within the fabric of the cationic dyeable polyester fiber is greater than or equal to 40 wt.%.
(3) The fabric according to (1) or (2) is stained by the cationic dye.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a fabric having elasticity with excellent deodorizing effects for sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly can be obtained. Therefore, a garment using such fabric can have an excellent deodorizing effect for sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
The present invention will be described below in further detail.
The present invention is achieved by obtaining a fabric having a specific mass per unit area containing polyurethane elastic yarn and having excellent deodorizing effects for sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly by combining cationic dyeable polyester fibers and polyurethane elastic yarn having an ammonia gas deodorant ratio of greater than or equal to a specified value so that a mixing ratio of the polyurethane elastic yarn is in a specified range within the fabric.
The fabric of the present invention is a fabric containing polyurethane elastic yarn and cationic dyeable polyester fiber. The deodorizing effects effective for acetic acid gas, isovaleric acid, nonenal that are originally possessed by polyurethane elastic yarn are obtained by containing the polyurethane elastic yarn where the mixing ratio within the fabric is 5 to 30 wt.%.
The deodorizing effect for ammonia gas is demonstrated by cationic dye exhaustion seating by combining the cationic dyeable polyester fibers to become a fabric having deodorizing effects with good balance against sweat odor and distinctive body odor of elderly. It is preferred that the mixing ratio of the cationic dyeable polyester fiber within a fabric is greater than or equal to 40 wt.% to demonstrate the deodorizing effect for ammonia gas, and it is preferred that the upper limit is less than or equal to 95 wt.% from the viewpoint of demonstrating the deodorizing effects for acetic acid gas, isovaleric acid, and nonenal. Note that, when a mixing ratio within the fabric of the cationic dyeable polyester fiber is 40 wt.% or less, the dyeing is preferred to be performed with a cationic dye.
An amount of polyurethane elastic yarn and cationic dyeable polyester fiber that is sufficient to demonstrate the deodorizing effects can be ensured by having a weight of 10 cm x 10 cm to be greater than or equal to 1 g. Further, from the viewpoint of feeling and texture as use in a garment or the like, it is preferred that the weight of 10 cm x 10 cm is less than or equal to 7 g.
In the polyurethane elastic yarn used in the present invention, the deodorant ratio for ammonia gas measured according to the detector tube method defined by Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council for 0.15 g of polyurethane elastic yarn is greater than or equal to 40% for both after washing treatments of 0 times and 10 times. By using such polyurethane elastic yarn in a range of 5 to 30 wt.% for the mixing ratio in a fabric, the deodorizing effects originally possessed by the cationic dyeable polyester fiber for ammonia gas are complemented and the deodorizing effects possessed by polyurethane elastic yarn for acetic acid gas, isovaleric acid, and nonenal are fully demonstrated.
In the polyurethane elastic yarn used in the present invention, the deodorant ratio for ammonia gas measured according to the detector tube method defined by Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council for 0.15 g of polyurethane elastic yarn is greater than or equal to 40% for both after washing treatments of 0 times and 10 times. The detector tube method defined by Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council is a method for measuring in a prescribed sample of how much ammonia gas is reduced in 2 hours, and the deodorant ratio of ammonia gas obtained by applying this method to 0.15 g of polyurethane elastic yarn becomes an indicator of the deodorant ratio for ammonia gas contributed by the polyurethane yarn itself in the fabric. The method for obtaining the polyurethane elastic yarn having such ammonia gas deodorant ratio is not particularly limited; however, those containing an inorganic deodorant having an ammonia gas deodorizing effect may be preferably used. The deodorizing characteristic for ammonia gas is allowed to be improved by containing an inorganic deodorant having deodorizing effects for ammonia gas without obstructing the deodorant power for acetic acid gas, nonenal gas, and isovaleric acid gas.
For an inorganic deodorant, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, metallic phosphates composed of calcium, zinc containing silica, or the like may be used. Among them, at least one selected from a group composed of zirconium phosphate, titanium phosphate, or dihydrogen aluminum tripolyphosphate having a layer structure is preferable to use for the object of a deodorizing characteristic for ammonia, and particularly preferred is a zirconium phosphate. Further, the metallic phosphate, such as zirconium phosphate, is preferably one that does not carry a metallic ion such as a silver ion or copper ion for the object of a deodorizing characteristic for ammonia.
The content amount of the inorganic deodorant is in a range from 0.5 to 10 wt.% with respect to the total mass of the polyurethane elastic yarn. When the content of the inorganic deodorant is less than 0.5 wt.%, a sufficient ammonia gas deodorizing characteristic may hardly be obtained when using as a fabric. It is more preferable that the content is greater than or equal to 1.5 wt.%. Conversely, when the content exceeds 10 wt.%, deterioration of the elastic properties or increasing cost may occur. It is more preferable that the content is less than or equal to 7.0 wt.%. When considering a balance between the deodorizing characteristics and physical properties against ammonia gas to the cost, the content is particularly preferable in a range from 1.5 to 5.0 wt.%.
Also, the inorganic deodorant in the present invention is preferably powder having less than or equal to 3.0 μηι of an average primary particle size from the viewpoint of preventing the spinning solution clogging in the spinneret, and more particularly less than or equal to 1.5 μιη. Further, when the average primary particle size is less than 0.05 μηι, the cohesive force is increased and causes difficulty in mixing uniformly in the spinning solution, and therefore, the average primary particle size is preferred to be greater than or equal to 0.05 μιη from the viewpoint of dispersibility.
The polyurethane elastic yarn used in the present invention may contain a medical agent such as a light resistant agent, an antioxidant, a pigment, or the like in addition to the inorganic deodorant. For example, hindered phenol based drugs such as "Sumilizer" (registered trademark) GA-80 manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. and BHT as a light resistance agent and antioxidant, benzotriazole system such as various "Tinuvins" (registered trademark) manufactured by Ciba Geigy, benzophenone-based drugs,

Further, in order to increase durability for particularly light and various nitric oxides, nitric oxide scavengers such as HN-150 manufactured by Japan Hydrazine Co., Ltd., thermal oxidation stabilizers such as "Sumilizer" (registered trademark) GA-80 manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., light stabilizers such as "Sumisorb" (registered trademark) 300#622 are also preferably used.
The cationic dyeable polyester fiber used in a fabric of the present invention will be described below.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the cationic dye contains a counter ion, and a calboxylate anion, a sulfonate anion, a sulfate ester anion, phosphate ester anion, or the like to demonstrate fabric deodorizing effects, particularly preferred is a sulfonate anion. In addition, in order to improve texture and to provide other functions after the staining process, softening finish, antibacterial treatment, water absorption treatment, water repellent treatment, antistatic treatment, or the like may be provided properly.

The polyurethane obtained by using isocyanate, glycol of a tri- or greater polyfunctionality, or the like without obstructing the advantageous effects of the present invention, is also preferred for use in the present invention.
For the polymer diol, polyethers, polyester diols, polycarbonate diols, or the like are preferred. A polyether diol is particularly preferred to be used from the viewpoint of providing flexibility and elasticity to yarn.
For the polyether diol, it is preferred that, for example, polyethylene oxide, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol derivatives, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene ether glycol (hereinafter, abbreviated as PTMG), modified PTMG (hereinafter, abbreviated as 3M-PTMG) that is a copolymer of tetrahydrofuran (hereinafter, abbreviated as THF) and 3-methyl tetrahydrofuran, a modified PTMG that is a copolymer of THF and 2,3-dimethyl THF, polyol having a side chain on both sides disclosed in Patent No. 2615131 or the like, a random copolymer where THG and ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide are irregularly arranged, or the like is used. These polyether diols may be of one kind or two or more kinds mixed or copolymerized.
Also, from the viewpoint of obtaining abrasion resistance and light resistance as the polyurethane elastic yarn, it is preferred that butylene adipate, polycaprolactone diol, polyester diols such as polyester polyol having a side chain disclosed in JP Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. S61-26612 and the like, or polycarbonate diols disclosed in JP Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H02-289616, or the like is used.
In addition, such polymer diols may be used solely, or two or more types may be mixed or copolymerized.
With the molecular weight of the polymer diol, a number average molecular weight is preferably between 1000 and 8000, and more preferably between 1500 and 6000 from the viewpoint of obtaining elasticity, strength, heat resistance, and the like.

It is preferred that the polyurethane solution is prepared in advance and the inorganic deodorant is then added thereto from the standpoint of stabilizing the
polymerization. Further, the manufacturing method for the polyurethane that is a solute may be either a melt polymerization process or a solution polymerization process, and may even be another method. Of them, the solution polymerization process is more preferred. In the case of a solution polymerization process, foreign matter such as a gel are rarely generated in the polyurethane, spinning is easier, and a polyurethane elastic yarn with a low fineness is easy to obtain.
Furthermore, the polyurethane of particular preferable use in the present invention includes those that are synthesized by using PTMG where a number average molecular weight is between 1500 and 6000 as the polymer diol, MDI as the diisocyanate, and at least one of 1, 2-prooane diamine, 1, 3 -propane diamine, hexamethylene diamine, or
ethylenediamine as the chain extender.
The polyurethane used in the present invention can be obtained by synthesizing using the ingredients described above in a solvent, for example, N, N-dimethylacetamide (hereinafter, abbreviated as DMAc), N, N-dimethylformamide (hereinafter, abbreviated as DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (hereinafter, abbreviated as DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (hereinafter, abbreviated as NMP), or a solvent having the above as the primary ingredient. Particularly preferred methods which may be used are, for example, the so-called one-shot process in which the polyurethane is made by putting all materials into such solvent, dissolving them, and performing the reaction by heating the solution to a suitable temperature, or a method in which the polyurethane is made by first melting and reacting the polymer diol and diisocyanate and then dissolving the reaction product in a solvent and reacting the chain extender described above or the like.
When using a diol for the chain extender, it is preferred to adjust the melting point of the high-temperature side in a range from 200 to 260 °C from the standpoint of obtaining excellent heat resistance. A representative method may be accomplished by controlling the polymer diol, MDI, type of diol and ratio. When the molecular weight of the polymer diol is low, polyurethane with a high-temperature melting point can be obtained by relatively increasing the ratio of MDI. In the same manner, when the molecular weight of the diol is low, polyurethane with a high-temperature melting point can be obtained by relatively reducing the ratio of the polymer diol.
When a number average molecular weight of the polymer diol is 1800 or greater, in order to have the high-temperature side melting point to be 200 °C or higher, it is preferable to proceed the polymerization in the ratio (number of moles of MDI)/(Number of moles of polymer diol) = 1.5 or greater.
In the present invention, it is preferred to contain an inorganic deodorant such as a metal , phosphate in such polyurethane solution. When the inorganic deodorant is added into the polyurethane solution, any method may be used. As a representative method, various means can be used such as a method using a static mixer, a method by stirring, a method by a Homo Mixer, a method using a twin-screw extruder, or the like.
For the polyurethane used in the present invention, in order to improve the deodorizing effects for ammonia gas, an inorganic deodorant is contained in the polyurethane elastic yarn in a specified range; however, it is preferred to disperse the inorganic deodorant evenly into the polyurethane spinning solution prior to spinning, and the inorganic deodorant above is preferably added to the polyurethane spinning solution that is a solvent of DMF, DMAc, or the like, and then stirred and mixed so as to disperse evenly. More specifically, it is preferable that the inorganic deodorant is prepared to be a dispersion solution where DMF, DMA, or the like is dispersed in advance, and the dispersion solution is mixed in the polyurethane spinning solution. It is preferred to use the same solvent as the polyurethane solution for the dispersion medium used in the dispersion solution of the inorganic deodorant from the standpoint of performing adding evenly to the polyurethane solution. Also, when adding the inorganic deodorant to the polyurethane solution, for example, a medical agent such as a light resistance agent, an oxidation inhibitor, or a pigment may be added at the same time.
The polyurethane yarn used in the present invention can be obtained by spooling the spinning solution that is configured as described above, for example, by dry spinning, wet spinning or melt spinning. Among them, the dry spinning is preferred from the standpoint of stability in spinning in all finenesses from very fine to thick yarn.
The fineness and cross-sectional shape of the polyurethane elastic yarn used in the present invention has no particular limitation. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the yarn may be a circular shape, or a flat shape.
The dry spinning method is also not particularly limited, and the spinning method may be suitably selected according to the spinning conditions suitable to the desired characteristics and the spinning equipment.
Examples

2. A required amount of test gas (ammonia gas: 100 ppm, acetic acid gas: 30 ppm) was injected, and the concentration of the gas remaining after two hours (ppm) was measured by the detector tube corresponding to the ingredient (manufactured by GASTEC Co.) to be the residual gas concentration of the sample test. Note that, the gas filling amount was 3L, and the diluent gas was dry air or nitrogen gas.
3. The same evaluation was conducted without placing the sample in the Tedlar bag to be the residual gas concentration of the blank test.
4. The evaluation was made according to the following formula to calculate the deodorizing ratio.
Formula 1
