Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、セメント製品を補強するための集束繊維であり、特に押出成型用のセメント補強繊維として有益なセメント補強用集束繊維に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、石綿に替わるセメント強化用繊維として種々の無機繊維、合成繊維の使用が提案されているが、単繊維のような細く柔らかなものでは混合の際、砂利等の骨材にまとわりついて十分な補強効果が得難い為、太い単繊維を使用したり、細い繊維を集束することによって剛性を付与し、モルタルセメント内への混合時に骨材にまとわりつかないような工夫がなされている。しかしながら太い繊維を使用するとコテ塗り性が悪くなることから、近年においては細い繊維を集束接合していわゆる集束繊維となし、モルタルセメント内に混合したのち水を加えて攪拌したとき集束繊維が分繊され、それによってモルタルセメントの成型物のヒビ割れ(クラック)防止効果が発揮するような集束繊維が汎用されている。
【0003】
また近年、押出成型法の割合が高くなってきており、且つ自動化がすすんできている。繊維供給においても自動化が進められており、供給装置のスクリュー等によって繊維が細く柔らかい為に開繊されやすく、更に繊維同志が絡んでファイバーボールになりやすくセメント製品の外観を損ねると共に繊維塊の状態で入っている為に補強効果の低下に繋がっている。
【0004】
従来の集束繊維としては、例えば特公昭63−59980号公報に記載されているような水の存在下で集束効果が減少する水溶性の集束剤を使用し、かかる水溶性の集束剤を繊維重量に対して2〜20重量%付着させて単糸デニールが0.5〜25のモノフィラメントを50〜6000本集束してチョップドストランドとなしたもの、特開昭52−89122号公報に記載されているように、細デニールの繊維を集束して太デニールの繊維としたチョップドストランド、あるいは特公昭53−37957号公報記載のごとくガラス繊維を50〜200本を集束したもの、特表平4−502142号公報記載のごとく界面活性剤等湿潤剤でフィラメント同志を密着させたものを挙げることができる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記したように従来のセメント補強用集束繊維は、水溶性の集束剤でもって集束接合されているため、集束繊維をセメント材料に混合したのち水が加えられるとその集束力が解除されてセメントスラリー内に分散されるという利点を有している。しかしながらマルチフィラメントやトウのような繊維の集合物を水溶性の集束剤の溶液槽に浸漬したのち乾燥し、所望長さに切断して集束繊維となす工程において、浸漬後における乾燥時において水溶性集束剤は表面から乾燥し、表面に集束剤の凝固被膜を形成してしまうために内部まで乾燥するまでに多くの熱源と時間を要し、そのため生産性が悪く、セメント補強用集束繊維のコスト高を招いている。
【0006】
そのうえ集束剤の水への溶解性がよくなく、溶液槽内における液濃度の調整や所望濃度の維持も困難であり、また集束剤の溶液槽内の液粘度が高いため、繊維集合物を浸漬しても集束剤が内部まで浸透せずに表面に付着した状態となって、溶液槽への浸漬後における絞り加減によっても付着量が変動しやすく、所望の付着率で集束接合された繊維束を得ることが困難である。そのうえ、絞りロールとその周辺に多量の集束剤が付着して機台を汚損し、付着した集束剤の乾燥にともなって付着集束剤の除去が著しく困難となるなど、機台の保全作業もコスト高の一因となっていた。
【0007】
本発明は上記の実状に鑑みてなされたものであり、集束剤による集束工程の非能率性を改善し、また繊維表面への集束剤の付着や乾燥の容易な非水溶性集束剤を使用し、かつ繊維間を仮接合して集束繊維となすことについて鋭意検討した結果、非水溶性集束剤によって集束接合された集束繊維は、乾式混合時あるいはセメントスラリーとなす湿式混合の攪拌時における衝撃や摩擦などの外力を受けると容易に集束力が崩壊されて分繊されることを確認し、本発明を完成するに至ったものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、セメント製品を補強するための集束繊維であって、集束繊維を構成する単繊維の各々がカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物からなる非水溶性集束剤により集束接合され、長さ3〜20mmに切断されていることを特徴とするセメント補強用集束繊維であり、またカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物が繊維重量に対して1〜20重量%付着し、またカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物のカルボキシル基末端がカリウム塩となっており、またカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物のポリオレフィンの数平均分子量が1000〜6000であり、該分子量に対してカルボキシル基が平均して1〜10個導入されており、またカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物のポリオレフィンがポリプロピレンまたはポリエチレンからなるものである。
【0009】
本発明のセメント補強用集束繊維に適用される繊維としては、例えばポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ポリ4−メチルペンテン−1等のポリオレフィン繊維、ビニロン繊維、アクリル繊維、アラミド繊維や炭素繊維、ガラス繊維など特に限定するものではないが、耐アルカリ性に優れたポリオレフィン繊維が集束剤との親和性を考慮すると好ましく使用することができる。単繊維の繊度としては0.5〜20デニールがセメント補強用として好ましい。
【0010】
非水溶性集束剤としては、カルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物であって、繊維に付着させる場合は界面活性剤を用いてエマルジョン形態となっているものが好ましい。そしてこのエマルジョン形態の非水溶性集束剤の適量を水に分散させ、この分散液内に繊維集合体を浸漬し、絞り、乾燥すると該集束剤により繊維間が接合し集束繊維となす。繊維集合体に対する集束剤の付着量は、繊維重量に対して好ましくは1〜20重量%、より好ましくは3〜8重量%である。集束剤の付着量が1重量%未満であると繊維同志の接着力が弱く、セメント系原料と乾式混合した時に分繊されてファイバーボールが発生する恐れが高くなり、また付着量が20重量%を越えると単繊維同志の接着力が強固となり過ぎ、セメント系原料に水を混合した時のミキサー内での物理的外力によっても最終使用段階で単繊維に分繊できずに大部分が集束繊維の状態で残り、セメントへの補強効果が低下する。
【0011】
カルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物としては、ポリプロピレンやポリエチレンの数平均分子量が1000〜6000の低分子量のものに平均して1〜10個のカルボキシル基が変性されているものであり、好ましくはカルボキシルの末端がカリウム塩となっているものである。数平均分子量が1000未満であると集束時の繊維間接着力が弱く、6000を越えると上記記載したエマルジョンにならない。またカルボキシル基はより多く導入した方が親水性を上げ、セメント系原料への分散性、親和性の点から好ましいが、現時点では10個より多く導入することは技術的に難しい。またカルボキシル末端がカリウム塩となっているとセメント系原料に含まれるカルシウムと置換され、よりセメントとの親和性を増すことができる。さらに、本発明においては、他の非水溶性集束剤を併用してもよい。
【0012】
繊維集合体へ集束剤を付着させる方法としては、繊維製造工程の延伸後の段階で付与すればよく、付与方法としては、浸漬法、スプレー法、コーティング法の何れでもよい。そして、集束剤が付着した繊維集合体は、水分を蒸発させるために公知の乾燥機などを用いて乾燥され、所定に長さに切断されて集束繊維となす。乾燥条件としては、例えば、シリンダー乾燥機、あるいは熱風乾燥機を用いて、100℃以上で、3〜30分の比較的短時間で乾燥することにより容易に得られる。
【0013】
集束接合された単繊維は、長さ3〜20mmに切断されていることが好ましい。3mm未満ではセメント補強効果が望めず、20mmを越えるとセメント撹拌時に繊維同士が絡んでファイバーボールとなりやすくなりセメント製品欠点が発生する。
【0014】
適量な非水溶性集束剤でもって繊維間接合された集束繊維は、セメント系原料に投入してミキサーによって混合攪拌されると、ミキサーによる衝撃や攪拌時におけるセメント系原料との摩擦などの物理的外力によってより細かな集束繊維片状態に分割され、使用時に水を加えて湿式混合されると、この時点でミキサーの物理的外力、流動するセメントスラリーとの攪拌摩擦によって、大部分が単繊維に分繊された状態となすことができる。
【0015】
本発明の集束繊維は、普通ポルトランドセメント、高炉セメント、シリカセメント、アルミナセメント、ケイ酸カルシウム等の補強に適用することができ、また半水石膏、2水石膏とスラグあるいはこれらを上記セメントと混合して使用する際にも用いることができ、押出成型用は勿論のこと、流込法で自然養生、蒸気養生、オートクレーブ養生などのセメント製品の製造工程に使用することができる。
【0016】
【発明の作用】
本発明のセメント補強用集束繊維は、剥離外力を受けない状態においては、集束接合された状態を保ち、ミキサーによるセメント系原料と乾式混合作用を受けると集束繊維がより細かな多数の集束繊維片に分離し、更に水が加えられて湿式混合作用を受けると該集束繊維片がさらに個々の単繊維に分離されてセメントスラリー中に分散され、セメント成型物の補強作用を奏する。そして上記のように乾式、湿式混合による物理的外力によって段階的に集束繊維が分離されていくことによってセメントスラリー中での分散性が向上し、セメント製品の衝撃、曲げ強度の向上に寄与すると共にコテ塗りなど施工性をよくする。

【0026】
【発明の効果】
本発明の集束繊維は、繊維間が適量のカルボキシル変性ポリオレフィン系低分子量物からなる非水溶性集束剤により仮接合された状態であるから、セメント系原料との乾式混合時には集束繊維が多数の細かな集束繊維片に分割されるが、個々の単繊維には殆ど分繊されることなく、更に水が加えられて攪拌されると攪拌流動摩擦によって順次個々の繊維に分繊され、セメントスラリー中に分散させることができる。そのうえ集束繊維状態であるためにセメント原料へは投入しやすく、投入後は攪拌外力と流動摩擦によって順次段階的に分繊されるからセメントスラリー中での均一分散が達成できる。また非水溶性の集束剤であるため、集束剤浸漬後における乾燥時において、水溶性集束剤のような表面に集束剤の凝固被膜を形成してしまうことがなく、内部まで乾燥するまでに多くの熱源と時間を要しないため生産性が向上する。更に、集束剤の親水部とセメントとの馴染みよく、結果としてセメントとの親和性が向上するものとなる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bundling fiber for reinforcing a cement product, and more particularly to a bundling fiber for cement reinforcement useful as a cement reinforcing fiber for extrusion molding.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, it has been proposed to use various inorganic fibers and synthetic fibers as cement reinforcing fibers in place of asbestos, but thin and soft fibers such as single fibers are sufficient to cling to aggregates such as gravel during mixing. Since it is difficult to obtain a reinforcing effect, a device has been devised in which thick single fibers are used or rigidity is given by focusing thin fibers so that they do not cling to the aggregate when mixed into mortar cement. However, when thick fibers are used, the ironing property deteriorates, and in recent years, thin fibers are focused and joined to form so-called focused fibers. When mixed in mortar cement and mixed with water, the focused fibers are separated. Accordingly, a bundling fiber that exhibits an effect of preventing cracking of a molded product of mortar cement is widely used.
[0003]
In recent years, the ratio of extrusion molding has increased, and automation has been promoted. Automation is also in progress in fiber supply, because the fibers are thin and soft due to the screw of the supply device etc., and the fibers are easy to open, and the fibers are easily entangled to form fiber balls. Because it is contained in, it leads to a decrease in the reinforcing effect.
[0004]
As a conventional sizing fiber, for example, a water-soluble sizing agent that reduces the sizing effect in the presence of water as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-59980 is used. 2 to 20% by weight with respect to 50 to 6000 monofilaments having a single yarn denier of 0.5 to 25, which are chopped strands, described in JP-A-52-89122 As described above, chopped strands obtained by concentrating fine denier fibers into thick denier fibers, or those obtained by bundling 50 to 200 glass fibers as described in JP-B-53-37957, JP-T-4-502142 As described in the publication, there may be mentioned those in which filaments are brought into close contact with a wetting agent such as a surfactant.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional cement reinforcing bundling fibers are bundled and joined with a water-soluble bundling agent. Therefore, when water is added after mixing the bundling fibers into the cement material, the bundling force is released and the cement slurry Have the advantage of being distributed within. However, in a process where a collection of fibers such as multifilament and tow is dipped in a water-soluble sizing agent solution tank and dried, and then cut into a desired length to form a sizing fiber, water-solubility during drying after immersion Since the sizing agent dries from the surface and forms a solidified coating of the sizing agent on the surface, it takes a lot of heat source and time to dry to the inside, so the productivity is poor and the cost of the sizing fiber for cement reinforcement Invite high.
[0006]
In addition, the solubility of the sizing agent in water is poor, it is difficult to adjust the concentration of the liquid in the solution tank and to maintain the desired concentration, and the liquid viscosity of the sizing agent in the solution tank is high, so the fiber aggregate is immersed. Even if the bundling agent does not penetrate into the inside, it adheres to the surface, and the amount of adhesion tends to fluctuate depending on the amount of squeezing after immersion in the solution tank. Is difficult to get. In addition, a large amount of sizing agent adheres to the squeeze roll and its surroundings to foul the machine base, and it becomes extremely difficult to remove the attached sizing agent as the attached sizing agent is dried. It contributed to the high.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and improves the inefficiency of the sizing process using a sizing agent, and uses a water-insoluble sizing agent that is easy to attach and dry the sizing agent to the fiber surface. In addition, as a result of diligent study on provisional joining between fibers to form a bundled fiber, the bundled fiber bundled and joined by a water-insoluble sizing agent is not suitable for impact during dry mixing or when stirring wet mixed with cement slurry. It has been confirmed that when an external force such as friction is applied, the focusing force is easily collapsed and divided, and the present invention has been completed.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a bundled fiber for reinforcing a cement product, and each single fiber constituting the bundled fiber is bundled and joined with a water-insoluble sizing agent composed of a carboxyl-modified polyolefin-based low molecular weight substance, and has a length of 3 to 3. It is a bundled fiber for cement reinforcement characterized by being cut into 20 mm, and the carboxyl-modified polyolefin-based low molecular weight material adheres in an amount of 1 to 20% by weight with respect to the fiber weight. The carboxyl group terminal is a potassium salt, and the number average molecular weight of the polyolefin of the carboxyl-modified polyolefin-based low molecular weight product is 1000 to 6000, and 1 to 10 carboxyl groups are introduced on average with respect to the molecular weight. In addition, carboxyl-modified polyolefin low molecular weight polyolefin is It is made of propylene or polyethylene.
[0009]
Examples of the fibers applied to the cement reinforcing bundle of the present invention include, for example, polyolefin fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, poly-4-methylpentene-1, vinylon fibers, acrylic fibers, aramid fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, and the like. However, polyolefin fibers having excellent alkali resistance can be preferably used in consideration of the affinity with the sizing agent. The fineness of the single fiber is preferably 0.5 to 20 denier for cement reinforcement.
[0010]
The water-insoluble sizing agent is preferably a carboxyl-modified polyolefin-based low molecular weight material that is in the form of an emulsion using a surfactant when adhering to fibers. Then, an appropriate amount of the water-insoluble sizing agent in the form of an emulsion is dispersed in water, the fiber assembly is immersed in this dispersion, squeezed and dried, and the fibers are joined together by the sizing agent to form a focused fiber. The amount of the sizing agent attached to the fiber assembly is preferably 1 to 20% by weight, more preferably 3 to 8% by weight, based on the fiber weight. When the amount of sizing agent attached is less than 1% by weight, the adhesive strength between the fibers is weak, and there is a high possibility that fiber balls will be generated when it is dry-mixed with a cement-based material, and the amount attached will be 20% by weight. If it exceeds 1, the bonding strength between the single fibers becomes too strong, and even when the cement-based raw material is mixed with water, the physical external force in the mixer cannot be split into single fibers at the final use stage, and most of them are focused fibers. In this state, the reinforcing effect on the cement is reduced.
[0011]
The carboxyl-modified polyolefin-based low molecular weight product is one in which 1 to 10 carboxyl groups are modified on average to those of polypropylene and polyethylene having a number average molecular weight of 1000 to 6000, preferably carboxyl. The terminal is a potassium salt. When the number average molecular weight is less than 1000, the inter-fiber adhesion is weak when converging, and when it exceeds 6000, the emulsion described above cannot be obtained. In addition, it is preferable to introduce more carboxyl groups from the viewpoint of increasing hydrophilicity and dispersibility in the cement-based raw material and affinity, but it is technically difficult to introduce more than 10 carboxyl groups at this time. Further, when the carboxyl terminal is a potassium salt, it is replaced with calcium contained in the cement-based raw material, and the affinity with cement can be further increased. Furthermore, in the present invention, other water-insoluble sizing agents may be used in combination.
[0012]
As a method of attaching the sizing agent to the fiber assembly, it may be applied at the stage after stretching of the fiber production process, and the application method may be any of dipping, spraying, and coating. Then, the fiber aggregate to which the sizing agent is adhered is dried using a known dryer or the like to evaporate the water, and is cut into a predetermined length to form a sizing fiber. As drying conditions, for example, it can be easily obtained by drying at a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher and in a relatively short time of 3 to 30 minutes using a cylinder dryer or a hot air dryer.
[0013]
It is preferable that the single fibers subjected to the focus bonding are cut into a length of 3 to 20 mm. If the thickness is less than 3 mm, the cement reinforcing effect cannot be expected. If the thickness exceeds 20 mm, the fibers tend to become entangled with each other when the cement is agitated, resulting in a cement product defect.
[0014]
When the fibers are bonded together with an appropriate amount of a water-insoluble sizing agent, the fibers are put into a cement-based material and mixed and stirred by a mixer. When it is divided into finely focused fiber fragments by external force and wet-mixed by adding water at the time of use, at this point, the physical external force of the mixer and stirring friction with the flowing cement slurry are mostly used to produce single fibers. It can be made into a separated state.
[0015]
The bundling fiber of the present invention can be applied to reinforcement of ordinary Portland cement, blast furnace cement, silica cement, alumina cement, calcium silicate, etc., and hemihydrate gypsum, dihydrate gypsum and slag, or a mixture thereof with the above cement It can be used for extrusion molding as well as used in the production process of cement products such as natural curing, steam curing, and autoclave curing as well as extrusion molding.
[0016]
[Effects of the Invention]
The focused fiber for reinforcing cement according to the present invention maintains a focused and joined state in a state where it does not receive an exfoliation external force, and when subjected to a dry mixing action with a cement-based raw material by a mixer, a large number of focused fiber pieces with finer focused fibers. When the water is added and subjected to a wet mixing action, the bundled fiber pieces are further separated into individual single fibers and dispersed in the cement slurry, thereby providing a reinforcing action for the cement molding. As described above, the bundling fibers are separated stepwise by physical external force due to dry and wet mixing, thereby improving dispersibility in cement slurry and contributing to improvement of impact and bending strength of cement products. Improve workability such as ironing.
[0017]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described specifically by way of examples.
[0018]
[Example 1] A polypropylene fiber aggregate (tow) having a single fiber fineness of 2 deniers after stretching and a total density of 80000 deniers, a polypropylene having a number average molecular weight of 4,500 and a carboxyl group modified by one carboxyl group per molecular weight. The emulsion was treated with POE alkyl ether (Umex EM-100, manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and immersed in a tank dispersed in a weight ratio of sizing agent and water of 1: 3.7. Then, it was squeezed with a squeeze roll, a sizing agent was attached to the tow, dried at about 110 ° C. for 15 minutes, and then cut into 6 mm length with a cutter to obtain a cement reinforcing sizing fiber. 3% by weight of the sizing agent was adhered to the resulting cement reinforcing sizing fiber. Next, 10 g of the above-mentioned bundling fibers were prepared, and dry-mixed with a mixer together with 1200 g of ordinary Portland cement, 800 g of silica sand, and 20 g of methylcellulose. After wet mixing with a water ratio of 20%, a cement board was prepared with an extruder. Table 1 shows the results of evaluating the dispersion state of the bundled fibers.

[Comparative Example 2] Table 1 shows the results in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the sizing agent adhesion amount was 25 wt%.
[0025]
[Comparative Example 3] A polypropylene fiber aggregate (tow) having a single fiber fineness of 2 denier after stretching and a total density of 80000 denier is used as a sizing agent, and a commercially available poval as a sizing agent is used. 1: 3% by weight of the sizing agent was attached to the tow after being immersed in a tank dispersed at 1: 3.7, dried at about 110 ° C for 60 minutes, and then cut into a 6mm length with a cutter. A reinforcing bundled fiber was obtained. Next, 10 g of the above-mentioned bundling fibers were prepared, and dry-mixed with a mixer together with 1200 g of ordinary Portland cement, 800 g of silica sand, and 20 g of methylcellulose. After wet mixing with a water ratio of 20%, a cement board was prepared with an extruder. Table 1 shows the results of evaluating the dispersion state of the bundled fibers.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
The bundling fiber of the present invention is in a state where the fibers are temporarily joined by a water-insoluble bundling agent composed of an appropriate amount of a carboxyl-modified polyolefin low molecular weight material. It is divided into individual bundled fiber pieces, but is hardly divided into individual single fibers, and when further added with water and stirred, it is further divided into individual fibers by stirring fluid friction, and in the cement slurry. Can be dispersed. Moreover, since it is in a bundled fiber state, it can be easily put into the cement raw material, and after the feeding, it is divided in stages by the stirring external force and fluid friction, so that uniform dispersion in the cement slurry can be achieved. In addition, since it is a water-insoluble sizing agent, it does not form a coagulation film of the sizing agent on the surface like a water-soluble sizing agent when drying after immersing the sizing agent. Productivity is improved because no heat source and time are required. Furthermore, the hydrophilic part of the sizing agent and the cement are familiar, and as a result, the affinity with the cement is improved.
