TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of non-woven fabric technology, in particular to a preparation method of super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sanitary napkin is an essential article for women during menstruation, which is used to absorb the menstrual blood flowing out of the vagina during the menstrual period. The structure of the sanitary napkin mainly includes a sanitary napkin body and wings, and the sanitary napkin body generally includes a surface layer, an absorbent core layer and a bottom film layer. During the menstrual period, the local skin is relatively sensitive, and the surface layer of the sanitary napkin, as the material directly contacting the most soft and private part of the female, must consider its softness, comfort and touch.
[0003] The commonly used surface layer of sanitary napkin on the market mainly includes the following three types: (1) dry surface layer. The dry surface layer is composed of a PE film and special micropores, commonly known as PE perforated film, which has good absorbency and is not easy to backflow, and can keep the surface dry. It is easy to cause allergic reactions, and can cause symptoms such as vulvar itching and folliculitis. (2) Soft surface layer. The soft surface layer is a chemical fiber non-woven fabric made of polypropylene particles as raw material, which is processed through a series of processes such as high-temperature melting, spinning, web laying and hot pressing. After chemical processing, it has a soft touch like cotton, is not only soft and breathable, but also has a certain dryness, so it is favored by manufacturers. However, this material also belongs to chemical fiber, which may increase the probability of allergy and has the risk of sensitization. (3) Pure cotton surface layer. The pure cotton surface layer is mainly a pure cotton non-woven fabric made of cotton fibers, which has the characteristics of strong water absorption, good air permeability, skin-friendly and no irritation, and is deeply loved by consumers. Ordinary pure cotton non-woven fabric is made of fine cotton as raw material, which belongs to cellulose fiber. Due to the poor flexibility of cellulose macromolecules, it belongs to relatively rigid macromolecules, so the cotton fiber is relatively hard, and the pure cotton non-woven fabric made of fine cotton is not soft enough. In addition, the cotton fiber molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which have excellent moisture absorption performance, resulting in poor dryness, and easy to have a large backflow amount, thereby making the private part obviously wet.
[0004] Chinese patent number CN201910585385.5 discloses a sanitary napkin with a non-woven fabric perforated film composite surface layer, comprising a sanitary napkin body and two side wings, the top of the sanitary napkin body is a surface layer, the surface layer is composed of an upper hot air non-woven fabric layer and a lower PE perforated film layer, which creatively uses hot air non-woven fabric and PE perforated film, and the two are compounded into a new double-layer material surface layer to replace the traditional surface layer. Since the hot air non-woven fabric layer is in direct contact with the human body, there is no potential safety risk, and the touch is soft and comfortable, the moisture absorption and permeation performance are good, and the inverted V-shaped holes or inverted W-shaped holes arranged on the PE perforated film layer can effectively prevent backflow and keep the surface layer dry. The female private parts are warm and humid, and the menstrual blood contains rich nutrients, creating a favorable environment for the proliferation of bacteria, and thus triggering a series of gynecological inflammation. The surface layer of the invention does not have antibacterial effect and cannot solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, in view of the above, one of the purposes of the present application is to provide a preparation method of super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric, which uses long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton as raw materials, first goes through the processes of opening, mixing, carding, water jet forming to obtain a base cloth, and then is treated by coating reagents to obtain the required super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric, solving the problem of poor softness and dryness of existing ordinary pure cotton non-woven fabric.

[0007] To achieve the above purposes, the present application is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0013] Further improvement is that the included angle between the line connecting the central axes of the homogenizing roller and the coating roller and the line connecting the central axes of the coating roller and the pressure roller is 90-150°.
[0014] Further improvement is that the cationic surfactant is prepared according to the following steps:

[0016] (2) the intermediate A and cyclohexeneethylamine are added to a reactor, a first polymerization inhibitor is added, stirred at 25-45 DEG C for 5-10 h, filtered, washed, concentrated under reduced pressure after the reaction is completed to obtain an intermediate B;

[0023] The application also claims the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared by the above preparation method.
[0024] The application also claims the application of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric in disposable sanitary products.
[0025] By adopting the above technical scheme, the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. The pure cotton spunlace non-woven fabric prepared by the application uses fine cotton and long cotton as raw materials in a specific ratio, and the softness and touch of the pure cotton spunlace non-woven fabric prepared from 100% fine cotton are improved.
[0027] 2、The application adjusts and optimizes the formula of the coating agent, uniformly and accurately coats the coating agent on the base cloth through finishing, improves the softness and dryness of the base cloth, and endows the base cloth with good antibacterial property.The specific action mechanism is as follows:(1) glycerol is mild and non-irritating, has the effect of moisturizing and nourishing, and adding glycerol in the formula of the coating agent can endow the base cloth with a softer touch, and form a protective film on the skin surface during use, thereby playing the role of moisturizing and skin care.(2) the cationic surfactant has a positive charge, while the cotton fiber has a certain negative charge, and through the bonding of positive and negative ions, the coating agent can be adsorbed on the surface of the base cloth.The amino and hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure of the cationic surfactant can interact with the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of the cotton fiber, and are further adsorbed on the cotton fiber.Meanwhile, the compound has good permeability, which can promote the penetration and absorption of other raw material components.During the preparation process of the cationic surfactant, first, the quaternary ammonium reaction of 4-(2,3-epoxypropane) morpholine and halogenated alkane is utilized to obtain intermediate A, and the ether bond in the structure of intermediate A can improve the flexibility of the non-woven fabric;then, the ring-opening reaction of intermediate A and cyclohexene ethylamine is utilized to obtain intermediate B containing hydroxyl and amino active groups, and a carbon-carbon double bond is introduced into the molecular structure;finally, the silicon-hydrogen addition reaction of intermediate B and polymethyl hydrogen siloxane is carried out, and the cationic surfactant is obtained.The dimethyl chain and siloxane bond in the polysiloxane high molecular compound can rotate freely around the macromolecular siloxane-silicon chain, and the siloxane-silicon bond angle is large, so that the non-woven fabric can be endowed with excellent softness;but the surface tension of the siloxane is low, so that the water-repellent effect of the non-woven fabric after finishing is excellent, and when used as a surface layer material, the penetration speed of menstrual blood or urine is slow, and the dry and comfortable experience is poor.Through the silicon-hydrogen addition reaction, the hydrophilic group is introduced into the side chain of the siloxane, which well solves the problem that the softness and hydrophilicity of the existing polysiloxane compound cannot be considered.(3) during the use of disposable sanitary products, the humid and hot environment creates favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria, which may cause skin problems or gynecological diseases.The cationic surfactant prepared in the application has a certain bacteriostatic effect, and can inhibit the reproduction and growth of bacteria.During the research process, it is also found that there is a synergistic effect between the cationic surfactant and the two natural plant extracts, and under the same conditions, the antibacterial effect of the compound is better than that of the natural plant extract or the cationic surfactant used alone.(4) the performance test results show that after the base cloth is finished, the standard synthetic liquid diffusion area is greatly reduced, and the penetration time is increased, so it can be seen that coating a specific coating agent on the base cloth can endow the base cloth with good dryness.In addition, when the urine or menstrual blood penetrates, glycerol can form a water-in-oil state with it, thereby reducing the back penetration amount.
[0028] 3、Compared with the direct roll coating process or the immersion process, the application adopts the multi-roll transfer roll coating process, which can more uniformly control the coating amount and oiling rate of the reagent on the pure cotton non-woven fabric. By adjusting the speed ratio of the homogenizing roll and the coating roll and the unwinding speed, the coating amount of the coating reagent can be controlled, while the base fabric is endowed with more excellent comprehensive performance, unnecessary waste is avoided. After coating, there is no need for drying treatment, which avoids the loss of the coating reagent and the possible denaturation caused by high temperature. After drying treatment, the following situations often occur: the combination between cotton fibers becomes weak, the overall strength decreases, the friction resistance performance becomes poor, thereby causing the material to be easily deformed; the multi-roll transfer roll coating process does not affect the combination between fibers, and maintains the excellent performance of the pure cotton spunlace non-woven fabric.

[0068] Note: - represents no antibacterial effect.
[0069] Comparative Example 1
[0070] The difference from Example 3 is that no cationic surfactant is added in the coating agent, and the contents of clove extract and marigold extract are increased in proportion, and the total mass remains unchanged. The super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example was tested for antibacterial property, and the results showed that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli was 84.5%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus was 83.9%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans was 81.7%.
[0071] Comparative Example 2
[0072] The difference from Example 3 is that the clove extract is not added in the coating agent, and the contents of the cationic surfactant and the marigold extract are increased in proportion, and the total mass remains unchanged. The antibacterial property test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 85.6%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 86.2%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 84.8%.
[0073] Comparative Example 3
[0074] The difference from Example 3 is that the marigold extract is not added in the coating agent, and the contents of the cationic surfactant and the clove extract are increased in proportion, and the total mass remains unchanged. The antibacterial property test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 82.1%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 81.4%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 80.3%.
[0075] Comparative Example 4
[0076] The difference from Example 3 is that the marigold extract is replaced by thyme extract. The antibacterial property test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 84.4%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 86.1%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 83.0%.
[0077] Comparative Example 5
[0078] The difference from Example 3 is that the clove extract is replaced by thyme extract. The antibacterial property test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 91.9%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 91.2%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 90.4%.
[0079] Comparative Example 6
[0080] The difference from Example 3 is that the clove extract and the marigold extract are both replaced by thyme extract. The antibacterial property test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in this comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 90.6%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 92.1%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 89.9%.
[0081] Comparative Example 7
[0082] The difference from Example 3 is that the clove extract and marigold extract are all replaced by the cationic surfactant. The antibacterial test of the super-soft and smooth pure cotton non-woven fabric prepared in the present comparative example shows that the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli is 79.8%, the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus is 81.1%, and the antibacterial rate against Candida albicans is 78.4%.
[0083] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-7, the cationic surfactant, the clove extract, and the marigold extract all have antibacterial properties, and the combination of them produces a synergistic effect, and the antibacterial effect is significantly enhanced. In the case of the same total amount of addition, the antibacterial effect will decrease if any of the components is absent. Replacing the two natural plant extracts with thyme extract with stronger antibacterial activity will weaken the antibacterial effect, which indicates that the thyme extract does not have a synergistic antibacterial effect with the cationic surfactant and the clove extract or the marigold extract, or the synergistic antibacterial effect is relatively weak.
