Description
本発明は、嵩高性に優れた積層不織布に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a laminated nonwoven fabric excellent in bulkiness.
従来より、不織布は、土木資材、農業資材、工業資材、家庭用品等の様々な分野における各種の用途に使用されている。また、各種の用途に適用する際には、その用途における要求性能に応じた機能を有する不織布が用いられる。 Conventionally, non-woven fabrics are used for various applications in various fields such as civil engineering materials, agricultural materials, industrial materials, and household products. Moreover, when applying to various uses, the nonwoven fabric which has a function according to the required performance in the use is used.
ところで、本発明者は、特殊な横断面形状を持つポリエステル不織布を開発した(特許文献1)。これは、ポリエステル長繊維を構成繊維とする不織布であって、該ポリエステル長繊維の横断面形状が、略Y字の下端で上下左右に連結した
形状(以下、「略Y4形状」という。)であることを特徴とするポリエステル不織布というものである。かかるポリエステル不織布は、高剛性であるという特性を持っている。
By the way, this inventor developed the polyester nonwoven fabric with a special cross-sectional shape (patent document 1). This is a non-woven fabric comprising polyester long fibers as a constituent fiber, and the cross-sectional shape of the polyester long fibers is connected to the top, bottom, left and right at the lower end of a substantially Y-shape.
It is a polyester nonwoven fabric characterized by having a shape (hereinafter referred to as “substantially Y4 shape”). Such a polyester nonwoven fabric has a characteristic of high rigidity.
本発明者は、上記ポリエステル不織布を用いて種々研究を行っていたところ、このポリエステル不織布に座屈処理を施すと、厚み方向に圧縮しても座屈加工による山部と谷部の形状が変形しにくく、また、変形しても回復性が高い不織布が得られることを見出した。そして、この座屈加工を施してなる不織布に、短繊維ウェブを積層して高圧水流を施したところ、座屈加工を施した不織布は、凹凸を維持した状態で、積層した短繊維ウェブと絡み一体化していた。すなわち、高圧水流の圧力が加わった場合でも、歪むことなく凹凸形状を維持し、嵩高性の高い積層不織布を得られることを見出した。 The present inventor has conducted various studies using the polyester nonwoven fabric. When this polyester nonwoven fabric is subjected to buckling treatment, the shape of the peaks and valleys due to buckling is deformed even when compressed in the thickness direction. It was found that a non-woven fabric having high recoverability even when deformed is obtained. And, when the short fiber web was laminated to the nonwoven fabric formed by buckling and subjected to high-pressure water flow, the buckled nonwoven fabric was entangled with the laminated short fiber web while maintaining the unevenness. It was integrated. That is, it has been found that even when a high-pressure water flow is applied, a laminated nonwoven fabric having a high bulkiness can be obtained while maintaining an uneven shape without distortion.
本発明はかかる知見に基づくものである。したがって、本発明の課題は、嵩高性に優れる積層不織布を得ることにある。 The present invention is based on such knowledge. Therefore, the subject of this invention is obtaining the laminated nonwoven fabric excellent in bulkiness.

In addition, the present invention introduces a web in which a large number of polyester filaments having a cross-sectional shape of approximately Y4 and a single fiber fineness of 10 dtex or more are deposited into a heat embossing device, and is partially crimped Forming a crimped part and integrating the polyester long fibers together by thermal bonding, then introducing them into a buckling machine and applying a buckling treatment to the entire nonwoven fabric in one direction.

The gist of the present invention is a method for producing a bulky laminated nonwoven fabric characterized by integrating a corrugated nonwoven fabric and a short fiber web by entanglement.
まず、本発明で用いられるポリエステル長繊維について説明する。このポリエステル長繊維は、その横断面形状に特徴を有するものである。この横断面形状は、図1に示すような略Y字を四個持つものである。そして、略Y字の下端1で上下左右に連結して、図2に示すような略Y4形状となっている。この略Y4形状は、四個の凹部2と八個の凸部3と四個の小凹部4とを有している。このように多数の凹部2、多数の小凹部4、多数の凸部3を持っており、嵩高性に優れている。また、四個の凹部2の箇所に塵埃が捕捉されやすく、塵埃除去性に優れている。そして、中央の略+字部5と、略+字部5の各先端に連結された四個の略V字部6により、高剛性となっている。すなわち、六角形やY字等の単なる異形ではなく、剛性の高い略+字部5と略V字部6の組み合わせによって、より高剛性となるのである。かかるポリエステル長繊維を集積して、高剛性のポリエステル不織布を準備する。特に、ポリエステル長繊維相互間を熱融着等により結合して、嵩高で且つ高剛性のポリエステル不織布を準備することができる。長繊維相互間の結合は、熱エンボス装置に導入して、部分的に熱と圧力を加えて、圧着部を形成させて、ポリエステル長繊維相互間を熱接着により一体化させることが好ましい。 First, the polyester continuous fiber used by this invention is demonstrated. This polyester continuous fiber is characterized by its cross-sectional shape. This cross-sectional shape has four substantially Y-characters as shown in FIG. And it is connected to the upper and lower sides and the right and left at the lower end 1 of a substantially Y shape, and has a substantially Y4 shape as shown in FIG. The substantially Y4 shape has four concave portions 2, eight convex portions 3, and four small concave portions 4. Thus, it has many recessed parts 2, many small recessed parts 4, and many convex parts 3, and is excellent in bulkiness. In addition, dust is easily captured at the four recesses 2 and is excellent in dust removal. Further, high rigidity is achieved by the substantially + -shaped part 5 at the center and the four approximately V-shaped parts 6 connected to the respective tips of the approximately + -shaped part 5. In other words, it is not a simple shape such as a hexagon or a Y-shape, but a higher rigidity is achieved by a combination of the substantially + -shaped portion 5 and the substantially V-shaped portion 6 having high rigidity. Such polyester long fibers are accumulated to prepare a highly rigid polyester nonwoven fabric. In particular, it is possible to prepare a bulky and highly rigid polyester nonwoven fabric by bonding polyester long fibers together by heat fusion or the like. Bonding between the long fibers is preferably introduced into a heat embossing device, and heat and pressure are partially applied to form a crimped portion, and the polyester long fibers are integrated by thermal bonding.
ポリエステル長繊維は、一種類のポリエステルからなるものでもよいが、低融点ポリエステルと高融点ポリエステルとを組み合わせるのが好ましい。すなわち、ポリエステル長繊維の横断面形状の略V字部6が低融点ポリエステルで形成され、略+字部5が高融点ポリエステルで形成された複合型するのが好ましい。複合型ポリエステル長繊維を集積した後、低融点ポリエステルを軟化又は溶融させた後、固化させることにより、ポリエステル長繊維相互間が低融点ポリエステルによって熱融着されたポリエステル不織布が得られるからである。また、ポリエステル不織布を構成するポリエステル長繊維の繊度は、10デシテックス以上とする。繊度が10デシテックス未満になると、長繊維の剛性が低下する傾向が生じ、ひいてはポリエステル不織布の剛性も低下する傾向が生じ、形成してなる波形状を維持しにくくなる。また、ポリエステル不織布の目付は、15〜200g/m2であるのが好ましい。目付が15g/m2未満になると、ポリエステル不織布の剛性が低下する傾向が生じる。目付の上限は特に限定されないが、座屈加工によって、良好な波形状の山部と谷部を形成するためには、厚みが大きすぎないほうがよいため、200g/m2程度がよい。なお、本発明で用いるポリエステル不織布の詳細については、上記した特許文献1に詳述されている。 The polyester continuous fiber may be composed of one kind of polyester, but it is preferable to combine a low-melting polyester and a high-melting polyester. That is, it is preferable to use a composite type in which the substantially V-shaped portion 6 of the cross-sectional shape of the polyester long fiber is formed of low-melting polyester and the substantially + -shaped portion 5 is formed of high-melting polyester. This is because the polyester non-woven fabric in which the low-melting polyester is softened or melted and then solidified after the composite long polyester fibers have been accumulated is obtained. Moreover, the fineness of the polyester long fiber which comprises a polyester nonwoven fabric shall be 10 dtex or more. When the fineness is less than 10 dtex, the rigidity of the long fibers tends to decrease, and the rigidity of the polyester nonwoven fabric also tends to decrease, which makes it difficult to maintain the formed wave shape. Moreover, it is preferable that the fabric weight of a polyester nonwoven fabric is 15-200 g / m < 2 >. When the basis weight is less than 15 g / m 2 , the polyester nonwoven fabric tends to have low rigidity. The upper limit of the basis weight is not particularly limited, but in order to form good wave-shaped peaks and valleys by buckling, it is preferable that the thickness is not too large, so about 200 g / m 2 is preferable. The details of the polyester nonwoven fabric used in the present invention are described in detail in Patent Document 1 described above.
本発明におけるポリエステル不織布は、不織布全体に亘って、不織布の一方向に山部と谷部とが交互に波形状の凹凸として形成されている。不織布全体に亘って一方向に交互に波形状の凹凸が形成されているとは、一方向に進行する波状の凹凸(起伏)が形成されているという意味であり、一方向に波立っており、一つの波の山および谷は一方向と直交する方向に連続している。そして、不織布の一部分にこの波形状が付与されているのではなく、不織布全体に波形状が付与されている。 In the polyester nonwoven fabric in the present invention, peaks and valleys are alternately formed as wave-shaped irregularities in one direction of the nonwoven fabric throughout the nonwoven fabric. The fact that wavy irregularities are formed alternately in one direction over the entire nonwoven fabric means that wavy irregularities (undulations) that advance in one direction are formed, and are undulating in one direction. One wave crest and valley are continuous in a direction perpendicular to one direction. And this waveform is not given to a part of nonwoven fabric, but the waveform is given to the whole nonwoven fabric.
このような波形状の凹凸が形成されてなる波形状凹凸不織布は、以下の方法により製造することができる。すなわち、上記したポリエステル不織布を準備し、この不織布の一方向に座屈処理を施す。一般には、ポリエステル不織布の長手方向となる機械方向に座屈処理を施す。座屈処理は、ポリエステル不織布を一定の供給速度で進行させて、この供給速度よりも遅い速度で排出させることによって行うことができ、この速度差に応じて、ポリエステル不織布に曲げモーメントが働き、座屈処理が行われるのである。座屈処理を施す装置は、マイクレックス社製のマイクロクレーパー機を用いるとよい。マイクロクレーパー機によれば、ポリエステル不織布を、まず一対の供給ローラーを通し、レターダーに押し込む。この際、一対の供給ローラーの表面を若干加熱(例えば40〜100℃程度)しておいて、ポリエステル不織布を構成する長繊維が座屈しやすいようにしておいてもよい。レターダーに押し込まれることによって、ポリエステル不織布は導入された方向に座屈処理が施されて、波状起伏が生じる。従って、波形状の山の高さやピッチ(山と山との距離)は、供給速度 と排出速度の差及びレターダーの間隔等によって、任意に決定できるのである。 A wave-shaped uneven nonwoven fabric in which such wave-shaped unevenness is formed can be produced by the following method. That is, the above-described polyester nonwoven fabric is prepared, and a buckling treatment is performed in one direction of the nonwoven fabric. In general, the buckling treatment is performed in the machine direction which is the longitudinal direction of the polyester nonwoven fabric. The buckling treatment can be performed by advancing the polyester nonwoven fabric at a constant supply rate and discharging it at a rate slower than the supply rate. A bending moment acts on the polyester nonwoven fabric according to this speed difference, and the buckling treatment is performed. The bending process is performed. As a device for performing the buckling treatment, a micro creper machine manufactured by Mike Rex may be used. According to the micro creper machine, the polyester nonwoven fabric is first pushed through a pair of supply rollers and into a letterer. At this time, the surfaces of the pair of supply rollers may be slightly heated (for example, about 40 to 100 ° C.) so that the long fibers constituting the polyester nonwoven fabric are likely to buckle. By being pushed into the letterer, the polyester non-woven fabric is buckled in the introduced direction, thereby causing undulations. Therefore, the height and pitch of the wave-shaped mountain (the distance between the mountain and the mountain) can be arbitrarily determined by the difference between the supply speed and the discharge speed, the interval between the letterers, and the like.
そして、この座屈処理による波状起伏が生じている間に(波状起伏が消失しないうちに)、熱処理装置に通して熱処理し、形状を固定することがよい。熱処理は、ポリエステル不織布を構成している長繊維の融点以下の温度で行う。融点以上の温度で熱処理を行うと、長繊維が溶融する恐れがあり、得られる不織布の風合いが低下する恐れがある。また、この熱処理は、無押圧下で行う。押圧すると、座屈処理により生じた波状起伏が消失してしまう恐れがある。この熱処理によって、座屈処理により生じた波形状が不織布に熱固定されて、その形態が保持される。 Then, while the undulations due to the buckling treatment are occurring (before the undulations disappear), the shape is preferably fixed by heat treatment through a heat treatment apparatus. The heat treatment is performed at a temperature not higher than the melting point of the long fibers constituting the polyester nonwoven fabric. When heat treatment is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point, the long fibers may melt and the texture of the resulting nonwoven fabric may be lowered. Further, this heat treatment is performed without pressing. When pressed, the wavy undulation caused by the buckling process may be lost. By this heat treatment, the wave shape generated by the buckling treatment is heat-set to the nonwoven fabric and the form is maintained.
以上のような座屈処理をポリエステル不織布に施すことによって、波形状凹凸不織布を得ることができる。 By applying the buckling treatment as described above to the polyester nonwoven fabric, a wave-shaped uneven nonwoven fabric can be obtained.
本発明の積層不織布は、上記した波形状凹凸不織布の少なくとも片面に短繊維ウェブが積層されている。そして、短繊維ウェブを構成する短繊維同士は交絡により一体化し、短繊維ウェブと波形状凹凸不織布とは、波形状の凹凸不織布の山部の頂点または谷部の頂点に接する短繊維ウェブを構成する短繊維が波形状凹凸不織布の山部の略頂点または谷部の略頂点に絡み付き一体化している。 In the laminated nonwoven fabric of the present invention, a short fiber web is laminated on at least one surface of the wave-shaped uneven nonwoven fabric. The short fibers constituting the short fiber web are integrated by entanglement, and the short fiber web and the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric constitute a short fiber web in contact with the apex of the peak or valley of the corrugated irregular nonwoven fabric. The short fibers to be entangled and integrated with the approximate apex of the peak or the approximate apex of the valley of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric.
波形状凹凸不織布の両面に短繊維ウェブが積層されてなるときは、上面に位置する短繊維ウェブは、波形状凹凸不織布の山部の頂点に接し、山部の略頂点の長繊維と短繊維とが絡み、下面に位置する短繊維ウェブは、波形状凹凸不織布の谷部の頂点に接し、谷部の略頂点の長繊維と短繊維とが絡む。そして、短繊維ウェブと波形状凹凸不織布とは、山部または谷部の略頂点と絡み合うことにより、山部の頂点付近または谷部の頂点付近と接してその箇所と交絡一体化しているが、山部の頂点付近以外の箇所および谷部の頂点付近以外の箇所とは接することなく、短繊維ウェブとの間に空隙が存在する。 When the short fiber web is laminated on both sides of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric, the short fiber web located on the upper surface is in contact with the apex of the peak portion of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric, and the long fiber and short fiber at the approximate apex of the corrugated nonwoven fabric. The short fiber web located on the lower surface is in contact with the top of the valley of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric, and the long fiber and the short fiber at the top of the valley are entangled. And, the short fiber web and the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric are entangled with the vicinity of the peak of the peak or the peak of the valley by being entangled with the approximate peak of the peak or the valley, and are entangled and integrated with that part. There is a gap between the short fiber web and a portion other than the vicinity of the peak of the peak and a portion other than the vicinity of the peak of the valley.
すなわち、本発明の積層不織布は、波形状凹凸不織布が中芯となり、片面または両面より、短繊維ウェブからなる平らなライナーを積層または挟みこんだ立体構造となり、いわゆるダンボール構造を構成し、嵩高性に優れるのである。 That is, the laminated nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a three-dimensional structure in which a corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric is the core, and a flat liner made of short fiber webs is laminated or sandwiched from one side or both sides to form a so-called cardboard structure, which is bulky. It is excellent in.
波形状凹凸不織布の少なくとも片面に積層される短繊維ウェブとしては、水流交絡処理における水流の作用によって、繊維が動き、交絡することができるものであればよく、その素材としては、コットン、レーヨンやリヨセル、天然パルプ等のセルロース系繊維、ポリエステルやポリオレフィン等の熱可塑性繊維等が挙げられる。また、短繊維ウェブ中に熱バインダー繊維を適宜混合してもよい。熱バインダー繊維を混合した場合、ポリエステル不織布と短繊維ウェブとを交絡一体化した後に、熱処理を施して熱バインダー繊維を溶融軟化させて、短繊維同士や短繊維と長繊維とを熱接着することにより、より一層形態安定性に優れた積層不織布が得られる。短繊維の繊維長は、交絡性を考慮して、5〜70mm程度がよい。短繊維ウェブの目付は特に限定されず、所望により適宜選択すればよいが、15〜100g/m2程度がよい。 The short fiber web laminated on at least one surface of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric may be any material that can move and entangle with the action of the water flow in the water entanglement treatment. Examples of the material include cotton, rayon, Examples thereof include cellulosic fibers such as lyocell and natural pulp, and thermoplastic fibers such as polyester and polyolefin. Moreover, you may mix a heat binder fiber suitably in a short fiber web. When thermal binder fibers are mixed, after the polyester nonwoven fabric and the short fiber web are entangled and integrated, heat treatment is performed to melt and soften the thermal binder fibers, and the short fibers and the short fibers and the long fibers are thermally bonded. As a result, a laminated nonwoven fabric having further excellent shape stability can be obtained. The fiber length of the short fibers is preferably about 5 to 70 mm in consideration of confounding properties. The basis weight of the short fiber web is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected as desired, but is preferably about 15 to 100 g / m 2 .
積層不織布において、波形状凹凸不織布の波を形成している山の高さは、400μm以上であることが好ましい。波を形成している山の高さとは、波の起伏の高さであり、波の山と谷との距離であり、波形状凹凸不織布の厚みである。山の高さが500μm以上とすることで、より嵩高性が向上する。山の高さの上限は、適宜設計すればよいが、形状維持性を考慮すると、1500μm程度がよい。なお、積層不織布における波形状凹凸不織布の山の高さは、無荷重下での厚みをいう。 積層不織布において、波形状を形成する山と山との間隔(あるいは谷と谷との間隔)は、0.5〜3mmである。山と山との間隔(距離)は、拡大投影機を用いて、積層不織布断面より任意の10箇所を選択して、隣り合う山と山の間の距離を測定し、その平均値を求める。山と山との間隔が0.5mmmより小さいと、山の形状がシャープであり、山底の長さに対して山の頂点部の高さの比が大きいものであり、このような形状を維持するためには、長繊維に極めて過大な曲げモーメントを付加して折り曲げることを要することになり、山谷の形状を付与する際に長繊維が損傷しやすい。また、山と山との距離が3mm以下とすることにより、山と山との間隔または谷と谷との間隔が長くなりすぎず、所望の嵩高性を積層不織布に付与できる。 In the laminated nonwoven fabric, the height of the peak forming the wave of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric is preferably 400 μm or more. The height of the mountain forming the wave is the height of the wave undulation, the distance between the wave mountain and the valley, and the thickness of the wave-shaped uneven nonwoven fabric. Bulkiness improves more because the height of a mountain shall be 500 micrometers or more. The upper limit of the height of the mountain may be designed as appropriate, but considering the shape maintainability, it is preferably about 1500 μm. In addition, the height of the peak of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric in the laminated nonwoven fabric refers to the thickness under no load. In the laminated nonwoven fabric, the interval between the ridges forming the wave shape (or the interval between the valleys) is 0.5 to 3 mm. As for the distance (distance) between the mountains, an arbitrary 10 positions are selected from the cross section of the laminated nonwoven fabric using an enlargement projector, the distance between the adjacent mountains is measured, and the average value is obtained. When the distance between the peaks is smaller than 0.5 mm, the shape of the peaks is sharp, and the ratio of the height of the peak of the peaks to the length of the peaks is large. In order to maintain it, it is necessary to add a very excessive bending moment to the long fiber and bend it, and the long fiber is likely to be damaged when the shape of the valley is given. Moreover, when the distance between the peaks is 3 mm or less, the interval between the peaks or the peaks or the interval between the valleys and the valleys does not become too long, and a desired bulkiness can be imparted to the laminated nonwoven fabric.
本発明の積層不織布は、以下の方法により得ることができる。すなわち、前記した波形状凹凸不織布の少なくとも片面に短繊維ウェブを載置して積層体を得、この積層体をメッシュ状支持体に担持し、積層体の短繊維ウェブ側から高圧水流を施して、短繊維ウェブの構成繊維同士を交絡させるとともに、波形状凹凸不織布の山部に接している短繊維とポリエステル長繊維とを交絡させて、波形状凹凸不織布と短繊維ウェブとを交絡により一体化させる。 The laminated nonwoven fabric of the present invention can be obtained by the following method. That is, a short fiber web is placed on at least one side of the wave-shaped uneven nonwoven fabric described above to obtain a laminate, and this laminate is supported on a mesh-like support, and a high-pressure water stream is applied from the short fiber web side of the laminate. In addition to interlacing the constituent fibers of the short fiber web, the short fibers in contact with the ridges of the corrugated nonwoven fabric and the polyester long fibers are interlaced to integrate the corrugated nonwoven fabric and the short fiber web by confounding. Let
波形状凹凸不織布の両面に短繊維ウェブを積層する場合は、高圧水流は、積層体の両面より施す。 When laminating short fiber webs on both sides of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric, the high-pressure water stream is applied from both sides of the laminate.
この高圧水流は、孔径0.05〜2.0mmの噴射孔が、噴射孔間隔0.05〜10mmで一列又は複数列配置されている噴射装置を用い、水を噴射孔から1.5〜30MPaの圧力で噴射して得られるものである。そうすると、高圧水流はウェブに衝突して、短繊維に運動エネルギーを与える。この運動エネルギーにより、短繊維ウェブ内の短繊維同士が交絡し、また、短繊維は、波形状凹凸不織布を構成する長繊維に絡む。このとき、短繊維は、波形状凹凸不織布の凹凸の頂点付近の長繊維と絡み、頂点以外の箇所とは絡まず、波形状凹凸不織布の凹凸形状は、交絡前のその形態をほぼ維持する。高圧水流を施した際にそのような現象が生じるのは、波形状凹凸不織布の構成繊維が特殊な横断面形状となっているので、構成繊維相互間に大きな空隙が形成されており、高圧水流の通過性がよく、高圧水流による圧をまともに受けずに、凹凸形状が歪みにくいこと、および、特殊な横断面形状により剛性に優れるため、不織布自体も高剛性であり、高圧水流による圧を受けたとしても、それによって歪や変形が生じにくいため、凹凸形状を維持し、凹凸の頂点部付近にて接している短繊維と絡むのである。たとえば、横断面形状が略円形である長繊維を構成繊維と不織布であって、同様に波形状凹凸の凹凸形状が形成してなる不織布を用いると、構成繊維相互間に大きな空隙が形成されず、剛性も低いために、高圧水流による加圧によって、凹凸形状を維持できず、歪んで厚みが減少し、凹凸形状付与前の平坦な不織布の形状に近くなり、その形態で短繊維と絡むこととなるため、得られる積層不織布は、空隙部が小さく、厚みが小さく、嵩高性に劣るものとなる。 This high-pressure water flow uses an injection device in which injection holes having a hole diameter of 0.05 to 2.0 mm are arranged in one or more rows with an injection hole interval of 0.05 to 10 mm, and water is supplied from the injection holes to 1.5 to 30 MPa. It is obtained by spraying at a pressure of The high pressure water stream then impinges on the web and imparts kinetic energy to the short fibers. Due to this kinetic energy, the short fibers in the short fiber web are entangled with each other, and the short fibers are entangled with the long fibers constituting the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric. At this time, the short fibers are entangled with the long fibers near the apex of the irregularities of the corrugated irregular nonwoven fabric, and are not intertwined with the portions other than the apexes, and the irregular shape of the corrugated irregular nonwoven fabric substantially maintains its form before entanglement. Such a phenomenon occurs when high-pressure water flow is applied because the constituent fibers of the corrugated uneven nonwoven fabric have a special cross-sectional shape, so that a large gap is formed between the constituent fibers. The non-woven fabric itself is highly rigid because it has good permeability and is not subject to pressure caused by high-pressure water flow, is not easily distorted, and is rigid due to its special cross-sectional shape. Even if it is received, distortion and deformation are less likely to occur, so that the concavo-convex shape is maintained and tangled with the short fibers that are in contact near the top of the concavo-convex. For example, if a non-woven fabric is used, which is composed of long fibers having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape, which are composed fibers and nonwoven fabrics, and are similarly formed with corrugated irregularities, no large gaps are formed between the constituent fibers. Because of its low rigidity, pressurization with a high-pressure water stream cannot maintain the uneven shape, distorts and decreases the thickness, becomes close to the shape of a flat nonwoven fabric before the uneven shape is imparted, and entangles with short fibers in that form Therefore, the laminated nonwoven fabric obtained has a small gap, a small thickness, and inferior bulkiness.
本発明の積層不織布は、ポリエステル不織布が有する波形状の凹凸を維持した状態で片面または両面に積層された短繊維ウェブを良好に積層一体化しているため、段ボールのごとき形態であり、嵩高性、クッション性に優れ、ボリューム感があり、通気性に優れるとともに、形態安定性、形態維持性に優れる。嵩高性や形態安定性を利用して、クッション材や緩衝材、衝撃吸収材、吸音材、フィルター材等の様々な分野に適用しうるものである。 The laminated nonwoven fabric of the present invention has a structure like a corrugated cardboard because the short fiber web laminated on one side or both sides is well laminated and integrated while maintaining the corrugated unevenness of the polyester nonwoven fabric. Excellent cushioning, voluminous feel, air permeability, form stability and form maintainability. It can be applied to various fields such as cushioning materials, cushioning materials, impact absorbing materials, sound absorbing materials, filter materials, etc. by utilizing its bulkiness and form stability.
本発明の積層不織布は、特定の異型断面を有する長繊維によって構成される高剛性のポリエステル不織布に、不織布の一方向に山部と谷部とが交互に波形状の凹凸として形成されており、この形状を維持した状態で、ポリエステル不織布の片面または両面に、短繊維ウェブが積層されて、交絡により一体化している。ポリエステル不織布自体が、高剛性であることから、形成された波形状の凹凸は、積層不織布の厚み方向に荷重を掛けても凹凸の形状を維持し、消失しにくく、嵩高性を良好に維持する。例えば、通常、長尺の不織布はロール巻きにして保管や搬送がされ、特にロール巻の中心部に近いほど厚み方向に荷重がかかるため変形しやすいが、本発明の積層不織布は、荷重をかけても凹凸の形状が消失しにくいため、当初の波形状の凹凸を維持することができる。 The laminated nonwoven fabric of the present invention is formed in a highly rigid polyester nonwoven fabric constituted by long fibers having a specific atypical cross section, and ridges and valleys are alternately formed as wave-shaped irregularities in one direction of the nonwoven fabric, In a state where this shape is maintained, a short fiber web is laminated on one side or both sides of the polyester nonwoven fabric and integrated by entanglement. Since the polyester nonwoven fabric itself is highly rigid, the formed corrugated irregularities maintain the shape of the irregularities even when a load is applied in the thickness direction of the laminated nonwoven fabric, are not easily lost, and maintain good bulkiness. . For example, a long nonwoven fabric is usually rolled and stored and transported. In particular, the closer to the center of the roll, the easier it is to deform because the load is applied in the thickness direction. However, since the uneven shape hardly disappears, the original wave-shaped unevenness can be maintained.
