AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a polishing cloth that reduces scratches during polishing and is more effective in allowing highly precise polishing. The cloth is made using a new method that allows for efficient production. The polishing cloth is also smoother and more effective in reducing surface roughness when used as a tape-like cloth for grinding and cleaning substrate surfaces. The method of production allows for efficient production of the polishing cloth.

Problems solved by technology

Consequently if the substrate not yet having a magnetic layer formed thereon has unevenness or flaws, the axes of easy magnetization may incline to form abnormal portions after the magnetic film is formed.

Raw Fibers

(Sea Component and Island Component)

[0098]Nylon 6 with a melting point of 220° C. and an MFR of 10.5 was employed as the island component, and polystyrene copolymer (co-PSt) having 22 mol % of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymerized, with a melting point of 53° C. and an MFR of 12, was employed as the sea component.

[0099](Spinning / Stretching)

[0100]The abovementioned sea component and island component were melt-spun using an islands-in-sea type spinneret with 376 islands / holes at a spinning temperature of 285° C., at an islands / sea mass ratio of 40 / 60, at a discharge rate of 1.7 g / min·hole and at a spinning rate of 1200 m / min, to obtain an islands-in-sea type composite fiber. Subsequently the composite fiber was stretched to 3.0 times in a spinning oil bath with a temperature of 85° C., and the fiber was crimped using a force crimper and cut to obtain islands-in-sea type composite fibers with a fineness of 6.5 dtex and a fiber length of 51 mm as raw fibers.

Raw Fibers

(Sea Component and Island Component)

[0107]The sea component and the island component were identical to those used in Example 1.

(Spinning / stretching)

[0108]The abovementioned sea component and island component were melt-spun using an islands-in-sea type spinneret with 200 islands / holes at a spinning temperature of 285° C., at an islands / sea mass ratio of 40 / 60, at a discharge rate of 0.9 g / min·hole and at a spinning rate of 1200 m / min, to obtain an islands-in-sea type composite fiber. Subsequently the composite fiber was stretched to 3.0 times in a spinning oil bath with a temperature of 85° C., and the fiber was crimped using a force crimper and cut to obtain islands-in-sea type composite fibers with a fineness of 5.2 dtex and a fiber length of 51 mm as raw fibers.

Abstract

A high performance polishing cloth having a densified surface state with ultrafine fiber bundles uniformly dispersed therein and having excellent smoothness is provided. The polishing cloth comprises a nonwoven fabric formed by entangling the ultrafine fiber bundles formed by bundling ultrafine fibers with an average single fiber diameter of 0.05 to 2.0 μm and a polymeric elastic material, wherein the average size of the surface fiber-napped portions constituted by the aforementioned ultrafine fiber bundles of the aforementioned nonwoven fabric in the width direction of the ultrafine fiber bundles is 50 to 180 μM.
