Problems solved by technology

When the volume of the thermally bonded nonwoven fabric is small, there is a possibility that the desired touch feeling as a topsheet for absorbent articles cannot be obtained
In addition, non-woven fabrics containing polyolefin-based composite staple fibers with fine deniers not only may be insufficient in volume, but also are difficult to increase in volume because the fibers are thin, so fiber layers containing polyolefin-based conjugated staple fibers with such fine deniers may Becomes an overly dense fiber layer with fewer spaces between fibers
In the surface sheet for absorbent articles, if the surface that comes into contact with the skin becomes too dense, it will take a long time for liquid such as blood or urine to pass through the fiber layer, and the liquid permeability may be deteriorated.

Embodiment 1~10、 comparative example 1~4

[0161] The above-mentioned high-density polyethylene was used as the sheath component, and the above-mentioned polypropylene was used as the core component. In addition, the masterbatch was mixed with the polypropylene of the core component so that the content of titanium oxide in the entire short composite fiber would be the ratio described in Table 1 and Table 2. Using a concentric core-sheath composite nozzle (600 holes), adjust the prepared sheath component and core component so that the composite ratio (volume ratio) of the sheath component and the core component becomes the composite ratio described in Table 1 and Table 2 The discharge amount of each component is melt-spun. The spinning temperature of the sheath component was set at 270°C, the spinning temperature of the core component was set at 290°C, and the extruded molten filaments were pulled at the pulling speeds recorded in Table 1 and Table 2 to obtain Table 1 and Table 2. Spinning filaments of the fineness des...

[0174] Using the core-sheath type composite short fibers obtained in Examples 6 and 7 and fibers 1 to 3 shown below, thermally bonded nonwoven fabrics were produced. First, as the first fiber layer, predetermined fibers were fed into a roll card so as to form the basis weight described in Table 3, and a fiber web (first fiber layer) was produced. Then, as the second fiber layer, predetermined fibers were fed into the roll card so as to form the basis weight described in Table 3, and a fiber web (second fiber layer) was produced. The fiber web to be the second fiber layer is placed on the upper surface of the fiber web to be the first fiber layer to form a laminated fiber web. The laminated fiber web was subjected to a hot air treatment for 15 seconds using a hot air blowing device set at 135° C. to melt the sheath component and bond the core-sheath composite short fibers to obtain a thermally bonded nonwoven fabric. At this time, hot air is blown to the fiber web from the sid...

[0185] A laminated nonwoven fabric was produced using the fibers shown below. The thickness of the obtained nonwoven fabric was measured, and at the same time, in order to evaluate the adaptability to the surface sheet for absorbent articles, the run-off value (run-off), the liquid absorption speed, the liquid return test, and the measurement of the surface characteristics by the KES method were performed. and evaluation.

[0186] (1) Polyolefin-based core composite short fiber 1: the core component is the aforementioned PP-A, the sheath component is the aforementioned HDPE-A, the core-to-sheath ratio (the volume ratio of the core component / sheath component, the same below) is 65 / 35, the core The core-sheath type composite short fiber (denier: 1.4 dtex, fiber length: 38mm) arranged concentrically between the component and the sheath component.

Abstract

The present invention provides: composite short fibers for absorbent articles, the short fibers having the property of satisfactorily passing through carding machines and being suitable for obtaining thermally bonded nonwoven fabric for absorbent articles which feels smooth to the touch and has high opacifying properties; a process for producing the short fibers; thermally bonded nonwoven fabric for absorbent articles which includes the short fibers; a surface sheet for absorbent articles; and an absorbent article. The composite short fibers for absorbent articles are core-sheath composite short fibers of a concentric circle structure which comprise a core component and a sheath component, wherein the core component comprises 50 mass% or more polypropylene which, after spinning, has a ratio of mass-average molecular weight (Mw) to number-average molecular weight (Mn), Mw / Mn, of 3.0-8.0 and the sheath component comprises 60 mass% or more high-density polyethylene which has a melting point lower by at least 5°C than that of the polypropylene. The core component and the sheath component have been composited in a ratio of 52 / 48 to 73 / 27 in terms of the volume ratio of core component / sheath component. The composite short fibers contain an inorganic filler in an amount of 0.5-10 mass% relative to 100 mass% the composite short fibers, and have a fineness of 1.1-2.0 dtex.
