Embodiment 1

[0129] The bulk and elasticity of various fibers and their corresponding nonwovens are given in Table 1 below.

[0130] As can be seen from the data presented in Table 1, among others, many parameters have an influence on the bulk and elasticity of fibers and nonwovens: the type of matrix polymer used, the spin oil applied during the stretching process agent type and draw ratio. Two other parameters were also measured, fiber / fiber friction and fiber crystallinity, which also depend to some extent on the type of matrix polymer used, the degree of spin finish applied during the drawing process, and the degree of fiber crystallinity. type and stretch ratio. Therefore, the bulkiness and elasticity of fibers and nonwovens depend directly on the type of matrix polymer, the type of spin finish, the draw ratio, and indirectly on fiber / fiber friction and crystallinity, for example these properties are only Reflects the type of matrix polymer used, the type of spin finish used and the...

Embodiment 2

[0144] Table 2 Provides maximum bulk to selected fibers and nonwovens

[0145] As can be seen from Table 2, special attention should be paid to sample numbers 1 and 4. Sample No. 1 included conventional PPH 7059 base polymer (no nucleation) and conventional spin finish GF602-c, while Sample No. 4 included nucleated Adstif HA840R base polymer and Synthesin 7490 FILL spin finish. Comparing these two samples, it can be deduced that Sample No. 4 exhibited a nonwoven bulk value that roughly corresponds to a 164% increase (28 cm 3 / g-74cm 3 / g). According to the present invention, and without being bound by any one particular theory, it is believed that the dramatic jump in bulk is produced by the combined use of a nucleating homopolymer (Adstif HA840R) with Synthesin 7490 FILL spin finish, This produces highly crystalline and rigid fibers, and the combination also produces fibers with surprisingly low fiber / fiber friction, which in turn provides advantageously high loft n...

Embodiment 3

[0147] Table 3 shows the effect of bonding temperature on bulk and elasticity. For the nucleated Adstif HA840R base polymer comprising Synthesin 7490FILL spin finish, the most favorable bulk was obtained at a bonding temperature of 140°C.

Abstract

Non-woven materials from polyolefin-based fibres which have bulk and resilience comparable to polyester fibres are described herein, thus expanding the utility of polyolefin fibres and nonwovens to a plethora of industrial applications which previously excluded products based on polyolefin fibres due to their hitherto inadequate bulk or resilience. Control of polyolefin fibre characteristics such as the fibre / fibre friction, fibre crystallinity, draw ratio, or selection of the spin finish so as to comprise essentially of an aqueous emulsion of polysiloxanes render them suitable for preparing bulky and resilient nonwovens.

Description

technical field [0001] Bulky polyolefin non-woven fabrics can be obtained by controlling the properties of polyolefin fibers. Among other physical properties of fibers suitable for making lofty and elastic nonwovens, fiber / fiber friction and crystallinity have been disclosed. These new fibers enable the use of polyolefin nonwovens in technical fields that previously excluded polyolefin fibers due to their insufficient bulk and elasticity and were hitherto limited or dominated by polyester and nylon. Background technique [0002] Conventional polypropylene-stabilized fibers do not provide nonwovens with high elasticity and bulk, at least not to the extent of polyester fibers. [0003] Fibers derived from conventional polyolefins, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, are insufficient to provide nonwovens with sufficient bulk and elasticity to provide suitable alternatives to polyester nonwovens. [0004] Conventional polyolefin fibers have a bulkiness of about 20 to 25 cm...
