Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a non-woven fabric with excellent flame retardancy, flame shielding performance, and carding process-passing and durability. The non-woven fabric is made with a special flame-resistant fiber that has a high limiting oxygen index, but is prone to falling off during the carding process. The fabric also contains polyphenylsulfane, which improves its flame retardency and flame shielding performance, but still requires improvement in terms of carding process-passing of the flame-resistant fibers and durability. The non-woven fabric described in this invention addresses the problems with conventional flame-retardant non-woven fabrics and provides a better solution for various applications requiring high flame retardancy and flame shielding performance with excellent carding process-passing and durability.

Problems solved by technology

Although the methods described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are the simplest methods as methods for imparting flame retardancy, the attached flame retardant is likely to fall off, and even if the flame retardant has an excellent flame retardant effect, the flame retardant still has a problem in terms of durability.
In addition, the non-woven fabric described in Patent Document 3 is obtained with the use of a flame-resistant fiber that has a high limiting oxygen index, LOI value, but the fiber is likely to fall off in passing through a carding machine, and in the end, still has problems in terms of both flame retardancy and workability.

example 1

[0093]The non-melting fiber A-1, the thermoplastic fiber B-1, and the thermoplastic fiber C-1 were mixed such that the mass ratios met 3:4:3, and opened with a carding machine to a fiber web (weight per unit area: 98 g / m2). The action of a needle on the fiber web at a needle density of 40 pins / cm2 entangled the fibers to form a combined sheet including the flame-resistant fiber, the PPS fiber, and the PET fiber in the same non-woven fabric layer. Subsequently, the combined sheet was subjected to a heat treatment with a hot air dryer set at a temperature of 150° C. to fuse the flame-resistant fiber, PPS fiber, and PET fiber constituting the sheet and form a fused combined sheet. The fused combined sheet was washed with warm water at a temperature of 70° C. for 6 seconds and then naturally dried to obtain a non-woven fabric with the oil removed therefrom. The measured crimp number of each short fiber taken from this non-woven fabric with tweezers was equivalent to the crimp number of ...

[0095]The non-melting fiber A-2, the thermoplastic fiber B-1, and the thermoplastic fiber C-1 were mixed such that the mass ratios met 2:3:5, and opened with a carding machine to a fiber web (weight per unit area: 130 g / m2). The action of a needle on the fiber web at a needle density of 40 pins / cm2 entangled the fibers to form a combined sheet including the meta-aramid fiber, the PPS fiber, and the PET fiber in the same non-woven fabric layer. Subsequently, the combined sheet was subjected to a heat treatment with a hot air dryer set at a temperature of 150° C. to fuse the meta-aramid fiber, PPS fiber, and PET fiber constituting the sheet and form a fused combined sheet. The fused combined sheet was washed with warm water at a temperature of 70° C. for 6 seconds and then naturally dried to obtain a non-woven fabric with the oil removed therefrom. The measured crimp number of each short fiber taken from this non-woven fabric with tweezers was equivalent to the crimp number of the raw...

[0097]The non-melting fiber A-1, the thermoplastic fiber B-2, and the thermoplastic fiber C-2 were mixed such that the mass ratios met 3:3:4, and opened with a carding machine to a fiber web (weight per unit area: 115 g / m2). The action of a needle on the fiber web at a needle density of 40 pins / cm2 entangled the fibers to form a combined sheet including the flame-resistant fiber, the PPS fiber, and the PET fiber in the same non-woven fabric layer. Subsequently, the combined sheet was subjected to a heat treatment with a hot air dryer set at a temperature of 150° C. to fuse the flame-resistant fiber, PPS fiber, and PET fiber constituting the sheet and form a fused combined sheet.

Abstract

In order to provide a non-woven fabric with excellent flame retardancy and flame shielding performance, and even also with carding process-passing and durability, there is provided a non-woven fabric including: a non-melting fiber A that has a high-temperature shrinkage ratio of 3% or less; a thermoplastic fiber B that has an LOI value of 25 or more in accordance with JIS K 7201-2 (2007); and a thermoplastic fiber C that has an LOI value of less than 25 in accordance with JIS K 7201-2 (2007) and a crimp number of 8 (crimps / 25 mm) or more in accordance with JIS L 1015 (2000).

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is the U.S. National Phase application of PCT / JP2019 / 006296, filed Feb. 20, 2019, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-036188, filed Mar. 1, 2018, the disclosures of each of these applications being incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventionally, non-woven fabrics have been used which are obtained from synthetic fibers made of synthetic polymers such as polyamide, polyester, and polyolefin as fiber materials, but these synthetic polymers, which usually have no flame retardancy, are often, in a raw material stage, or after being made into fibers or non-woven fabrics, subjected to some sort of flame retardant treatment.[0004]Various methods have been proposed as methods for obtaining flame-retardant non-woven fabrics. The methods include, for example, a method in...
