Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of textile fabric technology, and in particular to a manufacturing process for a polyethylene nonwoven fabric with high water pressure resistance. Background Technology

[0002] Plastics, as a widely used chemical product, bring convenience to people's daily lives, but due to their inherent weakness of being difficult to degrade, they generate a large amount of solid waste, posing a significant challenge to the Earth's environment and environmental protection. The treatment and reuse of waste plastics has become an important issue in environmental pollution control.

[0003] Polyethylene (PE) is a commonly used plastic. Unlike biodegradable plastics, PE waste cannot be treated through composting or natural degradation. Instead, it is mainly recycled, separated, washed, dehydrated, and then re-extruded and granulated into secondary material chips for reuse in secondary product lines. In recent years, there has been considerable research on the recycling of PE waste, primarily focusing on three aspects: direct recycling, modified recycling, and pyrolysis recycling of waste PE. Examples include the production of PE / bamboo powder composite materials, the catalytic pyrolysis of waste PE to produce fuel oil, and research on direct film production processes for the recycling of waste PE plastic films. However, these methods still suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome recycling processes and low added value.

[0004] For example, patent CN105504339A discloses a recycling process for polyethylene plastic. The process involves granulating waste polyethylene plastic, then cleaning the granules to remove impurities. After drying, the granules are added to an ethyl acetate solution and heated to dissolve. After complete melting, ethanol is added, causing the mixture to separate into layers. The upper layer is a mixture of ethanol and ethyl acetate, and the lower layer is polystyrene. The lower layer of polystyrene is separated and placed in a drying tower. First, steam is passed through to wash away the ethanol and ethyl acetate adhering to the polystyrene, and then hot air is passed through to dry the polystyrene.

[0005] For example, patent CN103172919A discloses a method for recycling waste cross-linked polyethylene foam. The method includes the following steps: classifying, grinding, and screening the waste cross-linked polyethylene foam to obtain ground material; then adding the ground material to polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate instead of certain new raw materials, and adding main antioxidant, foaming agent, auxiliary antioxidant and other additives for mixing and granulation to prepare masterbatch; then mixing the prepared masterbatch with sensitizer and extruding it into continuous masterbatch using an extrusion calender; then continuously irradiating the obtained masterbatch; finally, placing the irradiated masterbatch into a foaming furnace to foam and prepare foamed material that meets the requirements; and returning the foamed material that does not meet the requirements to step (1) for recycling again.

[0006] For example, patent CN104629152A discloses a method for recycling waste high-density polyethylene plastic to prepare 3D printing materials. The method involves crushing and cleaning the waste high-density polyethylene plastic, pretreating hemp fibers, adding additives and performing low-temperature pulverization, extrusion granulation, and recycling for use in 3D printing.

[0007] Polyethylene is a commonly used raw material for producing nonwoven fabrics, and its main molding processes include meltblowing, bonding, water / needle punching, and flash spinning. In recent years, innovative methods have been proposed to use air amplifiers to replace traditional electrostatic fiber opening equipment, improving fiber opening efficiency and fiber orientation, and greatly promoting the development of flash spinning nonwoven fabric preparation technology in China. Therefore, directly using waste polyethylene as raw material to prepare products through flash spinning not only achieves the recycling of waste polyethylene but also simplifies the process and increases added value. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a manufacturing process for a high water-pressure resistant polyethylene nonwoven fabric. This application involves recycling waste high-density polyethylene plastic, blending it with carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives, and then flash-evaporating it to produce polyethylene paper. Finally, woven synthetic fiber fabric is combined with the polyethylene paper and nylon warp-knitted fabric to obtain the high water-pressure resistant fabric. The resulting fabric not only possesses excellent waterproof properties and excellent moisture permeability due to its microporous structure, but also exhibits superior washability and comfortable wear.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0010] This application first provides a method for preparing polyethylene paper using waste high-density polyethylene plastic, including the following steps:

[0011] Waste high-density polyethylene plastic is cleaned and crushed, then soaked in a soaking solution, washed and dried, and then dissolved with carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives in a solvent to prepare a spinning solution. Finally, polyethylene paper is produced by flash evaporation.

[0012] Furthermore, the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative is prepared by modifying sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with monomethyl succinate chloride and cocoyl chloride.

[0013] Preferably, the amount of carboxymethyl derivative used is greater than or equal to 4% and less than or equal to 8% of the mass of waste high-density polyethylene plastic.

[0014] Preferably, the amount of succinic acid monomethyl ester chloride is greater than or equal to 2 times and less than or equal to 5 times the mass of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0015] Preferably, the amount of cocoyl chloride used is greater than or equal to 0.5 times and less than or equal to 1 times the mass of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0016] Preferably, the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative is prepared by the following method:

[0017] Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose was added to n-heptane, along with succinic acid monomethyl ester chloride and cocoyl chloride. The reaction was carried out at a temperature greater than or equal to 50°C and less than or equal to 65°C for a reaction time greater than or equal to 3 hours and less than or equal to 5 hours. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, washed with n-heptane, and dried to obtain the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative.

[0018] Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a natural polymer derivative with an ether-like structure. Its molecular chain contains numerous carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, exhibiting certain reactivity. This application modifies CMC using monomethyl succinate chloride and cocoyl chloride. The acyl chloride groups react with the hydroxyl groups on CMC, thus grafting them onto the CMC. This introduces hydrophobic ester groups and aliphatic chains into the modified CMC, thereby improving its hydrophobicity. Using CMC derivatives with waste high-density polyethylene to produce polyethylene paper helps reduce the surface microporous structure of the polyethylene paper, improving its waterproof ability without reducing its moisture permeability. Furthermore, it helps improve wash resistance, allowing the fabric to maintain its original structure after multiple washes with minimal changes in waterproofness and moisture permeability.

[0019] Furthermore, the soaking solution uses water as a solvent and contains surfactants, salt, and malic acid.

[0020] Preferably, the soaking solution contains, by mass percentage, 6% and 10% surfactant, 0.5% and 1% salt, 1% and 3% malic acid, with the remainder being water.

[0021] Preferably, the surfactant is selected from at least one of dodecyl sulfobetaine, dodecyl ethoxy sulfobetaine, dodecyl hydroxypropyl sulfobetaine, dodecyl sulfopropyl betaine, tetradecanoamide propyl hydroxypropyl sulfobetaine, decyl hydroxypropyl sulfobetaine, tetradecyl dihydroxyethylamine oxide, and cocamidopropylamine oxide.

[0022] Furthermore, the amount of soaking solution used is greater than or equal to 8 times and less than or equal to 15 times the mass of the waste high-density polyethylene plastic.

[0023] Furthermore, the soaking temperature during the soaking process is greater than or equal to 50℃ and less than or equal to 60℃, and the soaking time is greater than or equal to 1 hour and less than or equal to 3 hours.

[0024] Furthermore, the solvent is selected from at least one of aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, nitriles, amides, and fluorocarbons.

[0025] Furthermore, the amount of solvent used is greater than or equal to four times and less than or equal to five times the mass of the waste high-density polyethylene plastic.

[0026] Furthermore, the temperature during the flash evaporation process is greater than or equal to 180℃ and less than or equal to 220℃.

[0027] Furthermore, during the flash evaporation process, the spinning solution is initially depressurized, resulting in slight phase separation. It is then pumped to the spinneret, where it is further depressurized and undergoes further phase separation as it exits the spinneret. As the spinning solution exits, the solvent in the spinning solution rapidly and instantaneously evaporates, and the polymer in the spinning solution quickly cools and solidifies, forming fiber bundles. High-pressure air carrying the fiber bundles is directed to the air amplifier by a deflector plate. Inside the air amplifier, the high-pressure air performs a secondary stretching of the fiber bundles and uniformly opens them into a loose, net-like structure. The opened fiber bundles settle onto the accumulation belt to form a fiber web, which is then preliminarily heat-rolled by rollers to form a nonwoven fabric.

Then, it is baked at a temperature greater than or equal to 160℃ and less than or equal to 175℃ for a baking time of greater than or equal to 3 min and less than or equal to 5 min.

The resulting fabric has good waterproof and breathable properties and excellent water resistance.

[0054] The following non-limiting embodiments are intended to enable those skilled in the art to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this application, but do not limit this application in any way. The following content is merely an exemplary description of the scope of protection claimed in this application, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the invention based on the disclosed content, which should also fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0055] The present application will be further described below by way of specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, all chemical reagents used in the embodiments of this application are obtained through conventional commercial means.

After the reaction was complete, the mixture was filtered, washed with n-heptane, and dried to obtain the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative. Infrared spectroscopy was performed on the obtained carboxymethyl cellulose derivative, with a scanning range of 4000-500 cm⁻¹. -1 The result is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Compared to the unmodified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, i.e., shown in figure (a), figure (b), i.e., the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative, shows a lower content of 1733 cm⁻¹. -1 The appearance of new characteristic peaks nearby is attributed to the absorption vibration of the ester group.

[0119] Another type of high water pressure resistant fabric includes an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer. The inner layer is made of 20D nylon warp-knitted fabric, the middle layer is made of polyethylene paper #2, and the outer layer is made of 75D high-density high-F-number polyester DTY as warp and weft yarns. The outer layer and the middle layer, as well as the middle layer and the inner layer, are bonded together with PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive.

[0120] Specifically, the weight of the outer fabric is 180g / m². 2 The basis weight of the polyethylene paper is 50 g / m². 2 The weight of the base fabric is 50g / m². 2 .

[0121] Specifically, the water-repellent finishing process employs a two-immersion, two-rolling method, with a pressure of 3 kg / cm². 2 The rolling residue is 70%. It is first pre-dried at 100℃ for 5 minutes, and then baked at 160℃ for 5 minutes.

[0125] Specifically, the PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive is prepared by the following method:

Finally, 15 parts of incozol LV curing agent were added and the mixture was stirred at 55°C for 10 min to obtain PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive.

[0127] Experimental Example 1

[0128] The high water pressure resistance and moisture permeability of the high water pressure resistant fabrics obtained in Examples 10-18 were tested. The high water pressure resistance was tested according to the standard ISO 811-2018 Determination of Water Permeability of Textiles (Hydrostatic Pressure Test), and the moisture permeability was tested according to the standard ASTM E96BW-1995 Inverted Cup Method. The measured hydrostatic pressure and moisture permeability results of the high water pressure resistant fabrics are shown in Table 1 below.

[0129] Table 1

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] As shown in Table 1, the fabrics obtained in Examples 10 and 11 have a hydrostatic pressure of over 12000 mmH2O and a moisture permeability of 7000 g / m². 2 As can be seen from the above, the polyethylene nonwoven fabric with high water pressure resistance obtained in this application has both high water pressure resistance and good moisture permeability, that is, good waterproof and moisture permeability.

[0133] In Examples 12-14, the soaking solutions used in the polyethylene paper preparation process were different. The hydrostatic pressure and moisture permeability of the fabrics obtained in Examples 12-14 were lower than those in Examples 10 and 11, i.e., the waterproof and moisture permeability decreased. This may be because the waste high-density polyethylene plastic was treated with a specific soaking solution in this application, which not only helps to remove impurities from the waste plastic more thoroughly, but also allows the soaking solution to enter the high molecular weight of polyethylene, which helps to interweave with carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives in the later stage, thereby making the polyethylene resin obtain a more uniform structure, which helps to improve the uniformity of polyethylene paper and improve waterproof and moisture permeability.

[0134] In Examples 15-18, the carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives used in the polyethylene paper preparation process differed. Example 17 used unmodified carboxymethyl cellulose, while Examples 15 and 16 used different modifiers in the carboxymethyl cellulose modification process. The moisture permeability and hydrostatic pressure of the fabrics obtained in Examples 15-17 were lower than those in Examples 10 and 11, indicating that the addition of carboxymethyl cellulose reduces the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties. Adding the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative provided in this application is necessary to improve the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties. In Example 18, no carboxymethyl cellulose derivative was added, and the resulting fabric had a significantly lower hydrostatic pressure than that of Example 11, while the moisture permeability was only slightly different from that of Examples 10 and 11. This demonstrates that adding the carboxymethyl cellulose derivative to waste high-density polyethylene plastic not only improves the performance of polyethylene, thereby enhancing the fabric's waterproofness, but also does not lead to a decrease in moisture permeability.

[0135] Experimental Example 2

[0136] The water resistance of the high water pressure resistant fabrics obtained in Examples 10-18 was tested. The water resistance was tested according to the washing procedure 4N of GB / T8629-2017, and the drying procedure was hanging to dry. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0137] Table 2

[0138]

[0139] As shown in Table 2, the fabrics obtained in Examples 10 and 11 still have a hydrostatic pressure of over 10,000 mmH2O after 10 washes, and the moisture permeability increases slightly. This indicates that the high water pressure resistant fabric prepared in this application has good water washability and maintains good waterproof and moisture permeability after multiple washes.

[0140] In Examples 15-18, the carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives used in the polyethylene paper preparation process differed. In Example 17, unmodified carboxymethyl cellulose was added. In Examples 15 and 16, the modifiers used in the carboxymethyl cellulose modification process differed. After 10 washes, the hydrostatic pressure of the fabrics obtained in Examples 15-17 dropped below 8000 mmH2O, and the moisture permeability increased significantly. In Example 18, no carboxymethyl cellulose derivative was added, yet the resulting fabric showed a significant decrease in hydrostatic pressure and an increase in moisture permeability after 10 washes. This demonstrates that adding carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives to waste high-density polyethylene plastic helps improve the waterproof performance of the fabric and prevents the fibers in the polyethylene paper from becoming loose after multiple washes, which would lead to a loose structure and enlarged micropores, thus reducing waterproof performance and significantly increasing moisture permeability.

[0141] Experimental Example 3

[0142] Referring to the standard ISO13937-2-2000 Textiles—Tear properties of fabrics, the fabrics obtained in Examples 11 and 19-21 were tested to evaluate the performance of the PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive. The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0143] Table 3

[0144] Group Tear-resistant (N) Tear strength (N) after 10 washes Example 11 42.7 40.2 Example 19 39.8 35.6 Example 20 37.5 33.0 Example 21 33.4 30.8

[0145] As shown in Table 3, in Example 21, no N-phenylethanolamine and butanetetracarboxylic acid were added during the preparation of the PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive, and the tear strength of the resulting fabric was only 32.7 N. In contrast, the tear strength of the fabric obtained in Example 11 was over 50 N, which was significantly higher than that of Example 21. Even after 10 washes, the tear strength of the fabric obtained in Example 11 was still significantly higher than that of Example 21. It can be seen that the addition of a certain amount of N-phenylethanolamine and butanetetracarboxylic acid during the preparation of the PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive in this application helps to improve the adhesion and washability of the hot melt adhesive.

[0146] In Examples 10 and 21, only N-phenylethanolamine or butanetetracarboxylic acid was added during the preparation of the PUR moisture-curing hot melt adhesive. The initial tear strength and tear strength after 10 washes of the resulting fabric were lower than those in Example 11. It can be seen that although adding N-phenylethanolamine or butanetetracarboxylic acid during the preparation of hot melt adhesive helps to improve adhesion, the effect on the improvement of water resistance is poor. Only by adding both N-phenylethanolamine and butanetetracarboxylic acid can both adhesion and water resistance be improved.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort.
