Problems solved by technology

However, since the obtained sheet has very low bulk, it has low air permeability and impairs hand feeling
In addition, there is also a problem that surface smoothness is poor due to friction peculiar to elastomer resins (see Patent Document 1).
[0003] Therefore, there is a method of making a web of potentially crimpable fibers by a carding method, entangling them with a water jet, and then heat-treating them to develop crimps (shrinkage treatment) and impart stretching and contraction in the structure, but Due to the entangled structure, there is a problem that the strength of the nonwoven fabric is low (see Patent Document 2)
[0004] As another method, there is a method in which a thermoplastic resin with a melting point of 80°C to 170°C is used for the sheath (fiber peripheral portion) by a carding method, and a thermoplastic resin with a melting point of The heat-adhesive latent crimping composite fiber of two kinds of thermoplastic resins with different thermal shrinkage characteristics having a melting point of 20°C or higher is made into a web, and the adhesiveness produced by the low-temperature resin is imparted by performing hot air penetration processing, and Both strength and stretchability are imparted to the nonwoven fabric by making the latent crimp manifest and the crimp appears, but since the sheath part that becomes the adhesive component covers the core part that makes the crimp appear, there are some crimps that cannot be fully developed The problem of impairing stretchability due to contraction (see Patent Document 3)

manufacture example

[0057] As a production example in the former case, the following method can be cited: the heat-fusible composite fiber of the present invention is processed by a carding method to form a web, and the melting point of the first component is higher than the melting point and the fiber shrinks. Pass through the hot air circulation heat treatment machine (hot air penetration machine), while bonding and shrinking at the same time. In the case of the latter, a production example may include a method in which the heat-fusible conjugate fiber of the present invention is formed into a web by a carding method, and the processing temperature is not less than the melting point of the first component and not more than the shrinkage initiation temperature of the fiber. After passing through a hot air circulation heat treatment machine (hot air penetration machine) to form a nonwoven fabric, heat treatment is performed with a shrink dryer at a processing temperature above the shrinkage initia...

Abstract

The invention provides a fiber which is provided with bulkiness, relative high uonwoven fabric strength and excellent flexibility if used in a uonwoven fabric, and a uonwoven fabric obtained by using the fiber. The heat-fusible composite fiber is a composite fiber obtained with three resin components of a first component to a third component. The first component is a resin component with heat adhesion obtained by melting or softening, and the melting point or the softening point is lower than the melting points or the softening points of the other two components. The second component is a resin component without heat-shrinkage or having a heat-shrinkage lower than the third component. The third component is a heat-shrinkable resin component. The components independently exit on a fiber cross section at a right angle to a long axis of the fiber, respectively, and the first component and the third component are juxtaposed centered on the second component. At least the first component continuously occupies a part of the fiber surface in the length direction of the fiber, and at least a part of the third component occupies a part of the fiber surface in the length direction of the fiber.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heat-sealable composite fiber and a nonwoven fabric using the same. More specifically, the present invention provides a heat-sealable latent crimpable conjugate fiber and a stretchable nonwoven fabric obtained using the same. Background technique [0002] As a method of obtaining a stretchable nonwoven fabric, an elastomer resin is usually laminated on a conveyor by a meltblown method, and bonded by hot rolling to produce a sheet. However, since the bulkiness of the obtained sheet is very low, the air permeability is low and the touch is impaired. In addition, there is also a problem that surface smoothness is poor due to friction peculiar to elastomer resins (see Patent Document 1). [0003] Therefore, there is a method of making a web of potentially crimpable fibers by a carding method, entangling them with a water jet, and then heat-treating them to develop crimps (shrinkage treatment) and impart stretching and c...
