Definitions

  • This invention relates to a nonwoven web suitable to be used in an absorbent wound care product, and, more particularly, to an essentially pure cellulose nonwoven web formed from essentially continuous filaments and multibonded by merged filaments, hydrogen bonding and/or physical intermingling of filaments.
  • essentially pure cellulose shall address the fact that cellulosic moulded bodies, e.g. made according to the lyocell process, always contain a small amount of polymers other than cellulose, namely hemicellulose. This does not influence in any way the suitability for the use according to this invention.
  • This multibonded web provides absorbency of wound exudate at a wide pH range, physical padding or protection for a wound, and physical integrity and strength even when saturated to permit and facilitate clean removal. Further, it is important for such a wound care product to be based on a renewable resource, be inexpensive and biodegradable.
  • This invention further relates to additional bonding of this web to other webs or materials through
  • U.S. 6,838,590 describes an airlaid nonwoven used as an absorbent wound care pad
  • U.S. 6,075,177 describes the use of nonwovens based on carboxymethyl cellulose fibers for wound care products
  • U.S. 6,146,892 describes a nonwoven used as a scaffold for cell growth for use in wound care
  • U.S. 6,153,214 describes a needlepunch, spunlace or carded nonwoven used as reinforcement for a wound care product
  • U.S. 6,235,964 describes a nonwoven used as a backing for a wound care product
  • U.S. 6,759,567 describes an airlaid pulp nonwoven used as an absorbent pad in a wound care product
  • U.S. 9,297,099 describes a nonwoven based on tow filament fiber product for use in wound care. All of these describe nonwovens or composites used for or in wound care products.
  • U.S. 6,838,590 describes an airlaid nonwoven useful for wound care, which has absorbency, and is based on renewable materials but has limited physical strength, integrity and the ability to be removed from a wound without causing damage to the healing wound.
  • U.S. 8,808,594 describes a coform nonwoven with strength and physical integrity, but lower absorbency and cushioning ability and has a significant percentage on non-renewable, non-biodegradable raw materials.
  • the present invention relates to the use of specially designed nonwoven substrates produced using novel variants of the spunlaid nonwoven process, comprising essentially pure cellulose polymers.
  • spunlaid cellulose webs There are known methods and products using spunlaid cellulose webs.
  • Wound care products must combine absorbency at all pHs with strength, physical integrity, and the ability to enhance healing of a wound while being composed of sustainable and biodegradable materials.
  • the problem with current wound care products is that none addresses all of the needs.
  • the most prevalent solution is to either combine two separate nonwovens or materials; one with strength and physical integrity and one with absorbency. Usually one is sustainable while the other is not. This is both expensive and inadequate, as the result is an average of the two materials, where the absorbent material is not strong and the strong material is not absorbent or biodegradable. An optimal solution is not available.
  • the nonwoven material according to the invention has absorbency at all pHs, high physical integrity, can prevent contamination and physical damage to a wound, can be removed from a wound without damage or interference with healing, and is biodegradable, compostable and based on renewable resources.
  • the nonwoven web which is a 100% essentially continuous filament cellulose nonwoven will provide both high strength/physical integrity and high absorbency, and as a sustainable product.
  • the current invention can substitute for multi-layer structures, that use airlaid and/or meltblown webs for absorbency and other layers for strength, providing both the same absorbency and physical strength and integrity in a single biodegradable and sustainable product.
  • the first cellulosic nonwoven web is preferably made according to a lyocell process.
  • Cellulosic fibres can be produced by various processes.
  • a lyocell fibre is spun from cellulose dissolved in N-methyl morpholine N-oxide (NMMO) by a meltblown process, in principle known from e.g. EP 1093536 B1 , EP 2013390 B1 and EP 2212456 B1.
  • meltblown it will be understood that it refers to a process that is similar or analogous to the process used for the production of synthetic thermoplastic fibres (filaments are extruded under pressure through nozzles and stretched to required degree by high velocity/high temperature extension air flowing substantially parallel to the filament direction), even though the cellulose is dissolved in solution (i.e.
  • the web is formed by a spun bonding process, where filaments are stretched via lower temperature air.
  • spunbonded synthetic fibres are longer than meltblown synthetic fibres which usually come in discrete shorter lengths. Fibres formed by the solution blown lyocell process can be continuous or discontinuous depending on process conditions such as extension air velocity, air pressure, air temperature, viscosity of the solution, cellulose molecular weight and distribution and combinations thereof.
  • the fibres are contacted with a non-solvent such as water (or water/NMMO mixture) by spraying, after extrusion but before web formation.
  • a non-solvent such as water (or water/NMMO mixture)
  • the fibres are subsequently taken up on a moving foraminous support to form a nonwoven web, washed and dried.
  • Freshly-extruded lyocell solution ('solvent spun', which will contain only, for example, 5-15% cellulose) behaves in a similar way to 'sticky' and deformable thermoplastic filaments. Causing the freshly-spun filaments to contact each other while still swollen with solvent and with a 'sticky' surface under even low pressure will cause merged filament bonding, where molecules from one filament mix irreversibly with molecules from a different filament. Once the solvent is removed and coagulation of filaments completed, this type of bonding is impossible.
  • coagulation liquor i.e. a liquid which is able to cause coagulation of the dissolved cellulose; in a lyocell process this preferably is water or a diluted solution of NMMO in water, is applied to control the merged filament bonding.
  • the amount of merged filament bonding is directly dependent on the stage of coagulation of the filaments when the filaments come into contact. The earlier in the coagulation process that the filaments come into contact, the greater the degree of filament merging that is possible. Both placement of the coagulation liquor application and the speed at which the application liquor is applied can either increase, or decrease, the rate of coagulation. Which results in control of the degree (or amount) of merged filament bonding that occurs in the material.
  • the merged filament bonding is further controlled by filament spinning nozzle design and arrangement and the configuration and temperature of filament extension air.
  • the degree of molecular alignment that is present as the solution exits the spinning nozzle has an impact on the coagulation rate. The more aligned the molecules are, the faster the coagulation rate, and conversely, the less aligned the molecules are, the slower the coagulation rate.
  • the spinning nozzle design and arrangement, along with the molecular weight of the cellulosic raw material used will determine the starting coagulation rate at the exit of the spinning nozzle. Additionally, the rate of cooling (temperature decrease) of the solution upon spinning nozzle exit will impact the coagulation rate as well.
  • At least two spinnerets also known as jets
  • spinnerets preferably between two and ten, and further preferred between 2 and 6, each one arranged to form a layer of nonwoven web
  • spinnerets are used to obtain a multilayer nonwoven material.
  • the filaments are spun using a solution of cellulose in an aqueous amine oxide and the coagulation liquor is water, preferably with a content of amine oxide not being able to dissolve cellulose, also referred to as a lyocell process; the manufacture of such a solution is in principle known, e.g. from U.S. 6,358,461 , U.S. 7,067,444, U.S. 8,012,565, U.S. 8,191 ,214, U.S.
  • the present invention describes a cellulosic nonwoven web produced via a meltblown or spunbond-type process.
  • the filaments produced are subjected to touching and/or compaction and/or intermingling at various points in the process, particularly before and during initial web formation.
  • Contact between filaments where a high proportion of solvent is still present and the filaments are still swollen with said solvent causes merged filament bonding to occur.
  • the amount of solvent present as well as temperature and contact pressure controls the amount of this bonding.
  • the amount of filament intermingling and hydrogen bonding can be limited by the degree of merged filament bonding.
  • This is the result of a decrease in filament surface area and a decrease in the degree of flexibility of the filaments.
  • the degree of merged filament bonding increase, the amount of overall surface area is decreased, and the ability of cellulose to form hydrogen bonds is directly dependent on the amount of hydroxyl groups present on the cellulosic surface.
  • filament intermingling happens as the filaments contact the forming belt. The filaments are traveling at a faster rate of speed than the forming belt. Therefore, as the filament contacts the belt, it will buckle and sway side to side, and back and forth, just above the forming belt.
  • the filaments will intermingle with neighboring filaments. If the filaments touch and merge prior to the forming belt, this limits the number of neighboring filaments by which it can intermingle with. Additionally, filaments that merge prior to contacting the forming belt with not have the same degree of flexibility as a single filament and this will limit the total area over which the filament will buckle and sway.

  • control of the coagulation of the spun solution is a factor in controlling the degree of merged filament bonding.
  • This preferred embodiment concerns decreasing the coagulation rate to a state where additional compaction steps can be used after filament laydown to further increase the actual amount of merged filament boding that is achievable.

  • Varying the degree of merged filament bonding provides unique property characteristics for nonwoven cellulose webs with regards to softness, stiffness, dimensional stability and various other properties. Properties may also be modified by altering the degree of physical intermingling before and during initial web formation. It is also possible to influence hydrogen bonding, but the desired effect of this on web properties is minor. Additionally, properties can be adjusted further by including an additional

  • Each type of bonding/treatment provides benefits to the nonwoven web.
  • hydroentangling can add some strength and soften the web as well as potentially modifying bulk density; needling is typically employed for higher basis weights and used to provide additional strength; adhesive and chemical bonding can add both strength and surface treatments, like abrasive material, tackifiers, or even surface lubricants.
