Description

本発明は、ポリオレフィン系長繊維不織布に関し、柔軟性、肌触りが良好な吸収性物品に適した長繊維不織布に関する。   The present invention relates to a polyolefin-based long-fiber nonwoven fabric and relates to a long-fiber nonwoven fabric suitable for an absorbent article having good flexibility and touch.

近年、衛生材料に用いられる吸収性物品は、横漏れ防止のためのサイドギャザーや、足回り、ウエスト周りなどにポリウレタン弾性糸等伸縮材料を張り合わせ用いられるようになってきた。
このようなオムツの構成の変化と共に、近年は使い捨てオムツに対する要求性能が高まり、特に皮膚に刺激を与えやすいギャザー部の刺激を軽減するため、よりソフトなシートが要求されるようになってきた。オムツのウエスト周りや足回りのギャザー部はギャザーの振幅が細かく、振幅の頂点で角が立ちにくくて圧縮されやすいことが望まれる。また、オムツや衛生材料の横漏れ防止のためにつけられているサイドギャザーは、端面が肌に接するため,肌刺激が少なくよりソフトな風合いが望まれる。
In recent years, absorbent articles used as sanitary materials have come to be used with side gathers for preventing side leakage, stretchable materials such as polyurethane elastic yarns, etc., around the legs and waist.
Along with such a change in the configuration of diapers, in recent years, the required performance for disposable diapers has increased, and in order to reduce irritation of the gathered portion that is particularly irritating to the skin, a softer sheet has been required. It is desired that the gathers around the diaper waist and under the legs have a small gather amplitude and are easy to be compressed because the corners of the gather are difficult to stand. In addition, side gathers attached to prevent diapers and sanitary materials from leaking sideways are required to have a softer texture with less skin irritation because the end faces touch the skin.

衛生材料用シートの柔らかさは、主に3つの要素に分類される。ひとつは、シートの曲げ柔らかさと表現される「剛軟度が小さいこと」、二つめはすべすべ感に代表される「摩擦係数が小さいこと」そして三つめには ふわふわ感に代表される「圧縮率が大きいこと」があげられる。これら柔らかさの要素のうち、ギャザー部の風合いに最も関係があるのがシートの曲げや柔らかさ「剛軟度が小さいこと」である。特にシートの構造上MD方向がCD方向に比べて曲げ硬くなる傾向があるので、MD方向を曲げ柔らかくすることが重要である。さらに運動による皮膚との擦れによる刺激を小さくするため、滑りやすいこと「摩擦係数が小さいこと」も重要である。   The softness of the sanitary material sheet is mainly classified into three elements. The first is “low bending resistance” expressed as the bending softness of the sheet, the second is “small friction coefficient” typified by a smooth feeling, and the third is “compression ratio” typified by fluffy feeling. Is big. " Among these softness factors, the most relevant to the texture of the gathered portion is the bending and softness of the sheet “low bending resistance”. In particular, the MD direction tends to bend and become harder than the CD direction because of the structure of the sheet, so it is important to bend and soften the MD direction. Furthermore, in order to reduce the irritation caused by rubbing with the skin due to exercise, it is also important that it is slippery and that “the coefficient of friction is small”.

長繊維不織布においても、主としてポリプロピレン系樹脂を用いた不織布を柔軟化する検討が行われてきた。後加工による方法や熱エンボスロールでの圧着を弱める方法があるが、前者の方法では生産性や経済性に劣り、後者の方法では柔軟性は得られるが耐毛羽性が低下する。また柔軟性を得るために目付を小さくすることも考えられるが強度が低下し、オムツ等の製品設計が限定される。
長繊維不織布シートの平均単糸繊度を小さくして柔軟性を得ることも試みられてきた。平均単糸繊度を小さくすることはMD方向の曲げ柔らかさを向上させるには有効であるが、平均単糸繊度を細くしていくには限界がある。
Also in the long-fiber nonwoven fabric, studies have been made to soften the nonwoven fabric mainly using a polypropylene resin. There are a post-processing method and a method of weakening the pressure bonding with the hot embossing roll, but the former method is inferior in productivity and economy, and the latter method provides flexibility but reduces the fluff resistance. In order to obtain flexibility, it is conceivable to reduce the basis weight, but the strength is lowered, and the design of products such as diapers is limited.
It has also been attempted to obtain flexibility by reducing the average single yarn fineness of the long fiber nonwoven fabric sheet. Decreasing the average single yarn fineness is effective to improve the bending softness in the MD direction, but there is a limit to reducing the average single yarn fineness.

特許文献1では、脂肪酸アミド類の滑材をポリオレフィン樹脂に含有させるスパンボンド不織布を製造する方法が開示されている。この場合、柔軟性のうちすべすべ感に代表される「摩擦係数が小さいこと」は改善するものの、シートの曲げ柔らかさは改善しない。
特許文献2では、分割型複合繊維を分割して得られた繊度1デニール以下の極細繊維の複合成分の1成分に親水性化合物としてエステル化合物の一種である脂肪酸グリセリド等の界面活性剤を練りこみ添加する方法が開示されている。この特許文献に開示されている、親水性向上効果を出すためには、親水性の高い脂肪酸グリセリドを用いる必要があり、脂肪酸の分子量が小さいか、水酸基の存在が重要である。このような、親水性の高い界面活性剤の添加は、不織布の親水性を高め、透水性能の向上には有効であるが、曲げ柔らかさを向上させる効果は得られない。
Patent Document 1 discloses a method for producing a spunbonded nonwoven fabric in which a fatty acid amides lubricant is contained in a polyolefin resin. In this case, “the small friction coefficient” typified by a smooth feeling is improved, but the bending softness of the sheet is not improved.
In Patent Document 2, a surfactant such as a fatty acid glyceride, which is a kind of ester compound, is incorporated as a hydrophilic compound into one component of a composite component of ultrafine fibers having a fineness of 1 denier or less obtained by dividing a split composite fiber. A method of adding is disclosed. In order to exert the hydrophilicity improving effect disclosed in this patent document, it is necessary to use fatty acid glycerides having high hydrophilicity, and it is important that the molecular weight of the fatty acid is small or the presence of a hydroxyl group is present. Addition of such a highly hydrophilic surfactant increases the hydrophilicity of the nonwoven fabric and is effective in improving water permeability, but the effect of improving bending softness cannot be obtained.

本発明の不織布は、曲げ柔らかさを高めた、柔軟性、風合い、肌触り性に優れるポリオレフィン系長繊維不織であり、特に吸収性物品のギャザー部や肌に触れる部分に好適に用いることができる。
The long fiber nonwoven fabric of the present invention is a polyolefin-based long fiber nonwoven fabric, having a fiber diameter in the range of 0.7 to 3 dtex, and containing 0.3 to 5 wt% of an ester compound having a melting point of 70 ° C. or higher.

In particular, an ester compound having a melting point of 70 ° C. or higher is excellent in lipophilicity, has an effect of suppressing crystallization of polyolefin fibers and softening the fiber structure, and more preferably has a melting point of 80 to 150 ° C. It is an ester compound.
The nonwoven fabric of the present invention is a polyolefin-based long fiber nonwoven fabric that has improved bending softness and is excellent in flexibility, texture, and touch, and can be suitably used particularly for gathered parts of absorbent articles and parts that touch the skin. .

以下本発明について詳述する。
衛生材料用ポリオレフィン系長繊維不織布を構成するポリオレフィン系繊維としては、例えばポリエチレン、ポリプロピレンおよびそれらのモノマーと他のα−オレフィンとの共重合体などの樹脂から成る繊維があげられる。ポリプロピレンは、一般的なチーグラナッタ触媒により合成されるポリマーでも良いし、またメタロセンに代表されるシングルサイト活性触媒により合成されたポリマーであっても良い。他のα−オレフィンとしては、炭素数3〜10のものであり、具体的にはプロピレン、1−ブテン、1−ペンテン、1−ヘキサン、4−メチル−1−ペンテン、1−オクテンなどが挙げられる。これらは1種類単独でも2種類以上を組み合わせても良い。あるいはポリオレフィン系樹脂を表面層とする芯−鞘繊維などが挙げられるが、強度が強く使用時において破断しにくく、且つ衛生材料の生産時における寸法安定性に優れることからポリプロピレン繊維を用いることが好ましい。また、その繊維形状も通常の円形繊維のみでなく、捲縮繊維、異形繊維などの特殊形態の繊維も含まれる。
The present invention is described in detail below.
Examples of the polyolefin fibers constituting the polyolefin long fiber nonwoven fabric for sanitary materials include fibers made of resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and copolymers of these monomers and other α-olefins. Polypropylene may be a polymer synthesized by a general Ziegler Natta catalyst, or may be a polymer synthesized by a single site active catalyst typified by metallocene. Other α-olefins are those having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and specifically include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexane, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-octene and the like. It is done. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Alternatively, a core-sheath fiber having a polyolefin-based resin as a surface layer may be used, but it is preferable to use polypropylene fiber because it is strong and difficult to break during use and has excellent dimensional stability during production of sanitary materials. . The fiber shape includes not only ordinary circular fibers but also specially shaped fibers such as crimped fibers and irregularly shaped fibers.

長繊維不織布を接合して不織布となす場合の接合手段としては、熱圧着点(ポイントボンディング)法、熱風法、その他、溶融成分での接合(ホットメルト剤)法、などがあるが、熱圧着されたものが好ましい。
また、本発明の不織布を構成する繊維の繊度は0.7dtex以上3dtex以下、好ましくは0.7dtex以上,1.4dtex以下である。紡糸安定性の観点から0.7dtex以上であることが重要である。
目付けが10g/m未満であれば衛生材料に使用される不織布としては強力が不足する懸念があり、40g/mを超えると本願の目的であるオムツギャザー部やサイドギャザー部の用途に用いた場合、本願の発明で柔軟性があるといえども外観的に厚ぼったい印象を与え好ましくない。
好ましくは10g/m〜25g/mである。
不織布のMD方向(機械方向、タテ方向)の曲げ柔軟度は、本発明において、重要な因子であり、不織布を構成する繊維の平均単糸繊度が細いほど柔軟化する傾向である。
Joining methods for joining long-fiber non-woven fabrics into non-woven fabrics include thermocompression bonding (point bonding) method, hot air method, and other joining methods (hot-melt agent) using molten components. The ones made are preferred.
Further, the fineness of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric of the present invention is 0.7 dtex or more and 3 dtex or less, preferably 0.7 dtex or more and 1.4 dtex or less. From the viewpoint of spinning stability, it is important that it is 0.7 dtex or more.
Having a basis weight there is a fear that strength is insufficient as a nonwoven fabric is used for sanitary materials is less than 10 g / m 2, Yo on the application of the diaper gather portion and side gathers part of the present application purpose of exceeding 40 g / m 2 If this is the case, even if the invention of the present application is flexible, it gives an impression that it is thick in appearance, which is not preferable.
Preferably from 10g / m 2 ~25g / m 2 .
The bending flexibility in the MD direction (machine direction, warp direction) of the nonwoven fabric is an important factor in the present invention, and it tends to be more flexible as the average single yarn fineness of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric is thinner.

一方、不織布を構成する繊維の平均単糸繊度が太くても、本発明のエステル化合物を添加すれば柔軟になるが、オムツギャザー部等に実質的に有効な柔軟性を得るには3dtex以下が好ましく、より好ましくは1.4dtex以下である。   On the other hand, even if the average single yarn fineness of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric is thick, it becomes flexible if the ester compound of the present invention is added, but 3 dtex or less is necessary to obtain a substantially effective flexibility in the diaper gathers portion and the like. Preferably, it is 1.4 dtex or less.

本発明の長繊維不織布の部分熱圧着における熱圧着面積率は、強度保持、柔軟性の点から、5〜40%が好ましく、より好ましくは5〜15%である。
本発明において、70℃以上の融点を有するエステル化合物を含有したポリオレフィン系繊維の曲げ柔らかさの効果は、部分熱圧着面積率が少ないほど、その柔軟化効果が発揮されやすい。
また、該エステル化合物は長繊維不織布の圧着温度を下げる効果もあり、熱圧着に伴うフィルム化により生じる不織布の硬化現象も緩和することができる。部分熱圧着処理は、超音波法により、または加熱エンボスロール間にウェブを通すことにより行うことができ、これにより、表裏一体化され、例えばピンポイント状、楕円形状、ダイヤ形状、矩形状等の浮沈模様が不織布全面に散点する。
The thermocompression bonding area ratio in partial thermocompression bonding of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric of the present invention is preferably 5 to 40%, more preferably 5 to 15%, from the viewpoint of strength retention and flexibility.
In the present invention, the flexural softening effect of the polyolefin fiber containing an ester compound having a melting point of 70 ° C. or higher is more likely to be exhibited as the partial thermocompression area ratio decreases.
In addition, the ester compound has an effect of lowering the pressure bonding temperature of the long-fiber nonwoven fabric, and can also alleviate the curing phenomenon of the nonwoven fabric caused by film formation accompanying thermocompression bonding. The partial thermocompression treatment can be performed by an ultrasonic method or by passing a web between heated embossing rolls, whereby the front and back are integrated, for example, pinpoint, oval, diamond, rectangular, etc. Floating patterns are scattered all over the nonwoven fabric.

本発明に使用されるエステル化合物は、3〜6価のポリオールとモノカルボン酸とのエステル化合物が好ましく用いられる。
3〜6価のポリオールとは例えばグリセリン、トリメチロールプロパン等の3価のポリオール、ペンタエリスリトール、グルコース、ソルビタン、ジグリセリン、エチレングリコールジグリセリルエーテル等の4価のポリオール、トリグリセリン、トリメチロールプロパンジグリセリルエーテル等の5価のポリオール、ソルビトール、テトラグリセリン、ジペンタエリスリトール等の6価のポリオール等が挙げられる。
As the ester compound used in the present invention, an ester compound of a tri- to hexavalent polyol and a monocarboxylic acid is preferably used.
Examples of the trivalent to hexavalent polyol include trivalent polyols such as glycerin and trimethylolpropane, tetravalent polyols such as pentaerythritol, glucose, sorbitan, diglycerin, and ethylene glycol diglyceryl ether, triglycerin, and trimethylolpropane diene. Examples include pentavalent polyols such as glyceryl ether, hexavalent polyols such as sorbitol, tetraglycerin, and dipentaerythritol.

モノカルボン酸とは例えばオクタン酸、ドデカン酸、テトラデカン酸、オクタデカン酸、ドコサン酸、ヘキサコサン酸、オクタデセン酸、ドコセン酸、イソオクタデカン酸等のモノカルボン酸、シクロヘキサンカルボン酸等の脂環式モノカルボン酸、安息香酸、メチルベンゼンカルボン酸等の芳香族モノカルボン酸、ヒドロキシプロピオン酸、ヒドロキシオクタデカン酸、ヒドロキシオクタデセン酸等のヒドロキシ脂肪族モノカルボン酸、アルキルチオプロピオン酸等の含イオウ脂肪族モノカルボン酸等が挙げられる。   Examples of monocarboxylic acids include octacarboxylic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, docosanoic acid, hexacosanoic acid, octadecenoic acid, docosenoic acid, isooctadecanoic acid, and other alicyclic monocarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. Aromatic monocarboxylic acids such as benzoic acid and methylbenzenecarboxylic acid, hydroxyaliphatic monocarboxylic acids such as hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxyoctadecanoic acid and hydroxyoctadecenoic acid, sulfur-containing aliphatic monocarboxylic acids such as alkylthiopropionic acid, etc. Is mentioned.

本発明で使用されるエステル化合物は特に単一成分である必要は無く、2種以上の混合物でもよい。天然物由来の油脂類を使用してもよい。ただし、不飽和脂肪酸を含むエステル化合物は酸化されやすく紡糸時に酸化劣化しやすいため、好ましくは飽和の脂肪族モノカルボン酸または芳香族モノカルボン酸が好ましい。天然物由来の油脂類を使用する場合は原料油に比べて、無臭で安定なため、水素添加したエステル化合物が好ましく用いられる。   The ester compound used in the present invention is not particularly required to be a single component, and may be a mixture of two or more. Oils and fats derived from natural products may be used. However, ester compounds containing unsaturated fatty acids are easily oxidized and easily deteriorated during spinning, so saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids or aromatic monocarboxylic acids are preferred. When natural oils and fats are used, hydrogenated ester compounds are preferably used because they are odorless and stable compared to raw material oils.

本発明に使用されるエステル化合物はモノカルボン酸の分子量が比較的大きく、親油性が高いことが重要である。親油性が高いことにより、ポリプロピレン樹脂の非晶部に入り込み結晶化を阻害して非晶領域が増加するため、曲げ柔軟度が小さくなる効果を得ることができる。
この効果を得るためには、エステル化合物の融点は70℃以上であることが必要である。更に好ましくは、80〜150℃である。エステル化合物の融点がブロードで、範囲を有する場合は、平均の融点を意味する。また、本願エステル化合物は効果を阻害しない範囲で他の組成物、たとえば融点が70℃未満のエステル化合物やその他の有機化合物が混合されていても良い。
It is important that the ester compound used in the present invention has a relatively high molecular weight of monocarboxylic acid and high lipophilicity. Due to the high lipophilicity, it enters into the amorphous part of the polypropylene resin and inhibits crystallization to increase the amorphous region, so that the effect of reducing the bending flexibility can be obtained.
In order to obtain this effect, the melting point of the ester compound needs to be 70 ° C. or higher. More preferably, it is 80-150 degreeC. When the melting point of the ester compound is broad and has a range, it means the average melting point. Further, the ester compound of the present application may be mixed with another composition, for example, an ester compound having a melting point of less than 70 ° C. or other organic compounds as long as the effect is not impaired.

本発明のエステル化合物の付与方法は、ポリマーブレンド法でもよく、後加工で不織布に付与しても良い。ポリマーブレンド法の方が、本発明のエステル化合物と、ポリオレフィンポリマーとの繊維構造における相互作用、即ちポリオレフィンの結晶化抑制作用が生じやすく、好ましい態様である。
一般に、本発明とは異なる、親水性が高いエステル化合物においては、繊維表面から外側にブリードアウトする傾向が強いため、繊維表面にぬめりが生じたり、曲げ柔軟度を向上させる効果が不十分となりやすい。
The ester compound application method of the present invention may be a polymer blend method, or may be applied to the nonwoven fabric by post-processing. The polymer blend method is a preferred embodiment because an interaction in the fiber structure between the ester compound of the present invention and the polyolefin polymer, that is, an effect of suppressing crystallization of the polyolefin tends to occur.
In general, ester compounds having a high hydrophilicity different from the present invention have a strong tendency to bleed out from the fiber surface, so that the fiber surface tends to become slimy or the effect of improving the bending flexibility tends to be insufficient. .

本発明に使用されるエステル化合物のポリオレフィン系樹脂に対する添加量は0.3wt%以上5wt%以下がよい。実施例にも示しているが比較的少量の添加でも曲げ柔軟度や滑りやすさが著しく向上し、添加量を増やしても添加量に見合った性能向上は見られない。このことから、紡糸性、発煙性を加味し、5wt%以下が適切であり、より好ましくは0.5wt%〜3.5wt%以下さらに好ましくは0.5wt%〜2.0wt%である。
本発明のエステル化合物を含有したポリプロピレン樹脂をスパンボンド法によりウェブ化して得られた実施例1〜7のMD方向の曲げ柔軟度(mm)を重回帰分析した結果、
エステル化合物を添加した場合は、
MD方向の曲げ柔軟度(mm)=17.95×(平均単糸繊度dtex)+2.54×(目付g/m)−10.62×(本願エステル化合物添加有無)+16.2 (式2)
(融点が70℃以上であるエステル化合物添加有:1、添加無:0を代入する。)
線形の式2を満足する。相関係数は、R=0.95であり、非常に高い相関をしめす。
The addition amount of the ester compound used in the present invention to the polyolefin resin is preferably 0.3 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less. As shown in the examples, even when a relatively small amount is added, the bending flexibility and the slipperiness are remarkably improved, and even if the amount added is increased, no performance improvement corresponding to the amount added is observed. Therefore, in consideration of spinnability and smoke generation, 5 wt% or less is appropriate, more preferably 0.5 wt% to 3.5 wt% or less, and further preferably 0.5 wt% to 2.0 wt%.
The results of multiple regression analysis of the bending flexibility (mm) in the MD direction of Examples 1 to 7 obtained by forming a polypropylene resin containing the ester compound of the present invention into a web by the spunbond method,
When an ester compound is added,
Flexural flexibility in the MD direction (mm) = 17.95 × (average single yarn fineness dtex) + 2.54 × (weight per unit area g / m 2 ) -10.62 × (addition / absence of ester compound of the present application) +16.2 (Formula 2) )
(Ester compound with melting point of 70 ° C. or higher is added: 1, no addition: 0 is substituted.)
Satisfy linear equation 2. The correlation coefficient is R 2 = 0.95, indicating a very high correlation.

すなわち、本発明において、融点が70℃以上であるエステル化合物を添加することにより、MD方向の曲げ柔軟度を10.6mm小さくすることができ、曲げ柔軟性が向上する効果があることを意味する。
この結果を踏まえ、 衛生材料の吸収性物品に使用されるサイドギャザーやウエスト周り、足回りのギャザー部に要求される、低応力で屈曲し、ギャザーの振幅が細かいことや角が立ちにくいこと、ギャザーの振幅が圧縮されやすいことにより、柔らかさが実感できる範囲を検討した結果、下式(1)
MD方向曲げ柔軟度(mm)−17.95×(平均単糸繊度dtex)−2.54×(目付g/m)<10 (1)
を満足すればよいことを見出したものである。
That is, in the present invention, by adding an ester compound having a melting point of 70 ° C. or higher, the bending flexibility in the MD direction can be reduced by 10.6 mm, which means that the bending flexibility is improved. .
Based on this result, the side gathers used in hygienic material absorbent articles, waist circumference, and gathers around the legs are bent with low stress, the gathers have small amplitude and corners are difficult to stand, As a result of examining the range in which softness can be realized by the fact that the gather amplitude is easily compressed, the following equation (1)
MD direction bending flexibility (mm) -17.95 × (average single yarn fineness dtex) −2.54 × (weight per unit area g / m 2 ) <10 (1)
It has been found that it is sufficient to satisfy the above.

本発明のエステル化合物を添加した繊維を、ウェブ化する前に採取し、その初期引張抵抗度を測定した。その結果、エステル化合物を含有した繊維は初期引張抵抗度が小さいことが明らかになった。このことから、エステル化合物をポリオレフィン系繊維に含有することにより、配向した結晶が滑りやすくなっているものと推定される。
また、該エステル化合物を添加した長繊維不織布は、摩擦係数が低く、すべすべ感にも

The fiber to which the ester compound of the present invention was added was collected before web formation, and its initial tensile resistance was measured. As a result, it was revealed that the fiber containing the ester compound has a small initial tensile resistance. From this, it is presumed that the oriented crystals are slippery by containing the ester compound in the polyolefin fiber.
Further, the long fiber nonwoven fabric to which the ester compound is added has a low coefficient of friction and is excellent in a smooth feeling, and therefore has little skin irritation and excellent texture. For this reason, it can be suitably used not only for the gather part but also for the back sheet of the disposable diaper and the part that contacts the skin.
