Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a polyester flash nonwoven fabric and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of nonwoven fabrics. Background Art

[0002] Polyethylene flash non-woven fabric is made of polyethylene through flash spinning process to produce continuous long fibers. The long fibers are swung, webbed and hot pressed to form non-woven fabric. The continuous long fibers are multi-directional, cross-woven and stacked to form a web. Its unique structure makes it have excellent antibacterial properties and has many applications in medical protection. At present, in medical protection, people have relatively high requirements for antibacterial and breathable properties.

[0003] Polyester non-woven fabrics are wear-resistant, tensile-resistant, breathable, and have the advantages of chemical corrosion resistance and heat resistance. However, common polyester particles cannot be used for flash evaporation preparation. The main reason is that common polyester has a high melting point and is difficult to melt and dissolve in halogenated hydrocarbons at low temperatures. The dissolution temperature is generally above 240°C. At this temperature, the solubility of supercritical gas in resin is reduced. Due to the large temperature difference, it is difficult to connect the filaments to form long fibers after flash spinning. It is impossible to form a multi-layer three-dimensional network structure, and it can only form a relatively broken powder. After hot pressing, the finished product of this structure has low strength and poor comprehensive performance.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN117867753A discloses a regenerated flash nonwoven fabric and a preparation method thereof. Regenerated polyethylene is used as the main material, and conventional polyethylene, modified polyester, cyclodextrin modified shell powder and calcium stearate are added to make a nonwoven fabric by flash evaporation. The proportion of polyester added in this technology is very low, and the nonwoven fabric is mainly made of polyethylene, which cannot meet higher air permeability requirements. Chinese patent application CN113186654A discloses a polyester meltblown nonwoven fabric and a preparation method thereof. This technology uses polyester to make a meltblown nonwoven fabric, and the preparation efficiency is relatively low. Therefore, it is of great value to develop a more efficient flash evaporation method for preparing polyester nonwoven fabrics with excellent air permeability, strength and antibacterial properties. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims at the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a polyester flash-steamed nonwoven fabric and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the polyester flash-steamed nonwoven fabric can solve the problem of difficulty in dissolving polyester and make up for the vacancy of polyester materials for flash spinning.

[0184] The dissolution state and fiber state of the polyester solutions in the above examples and comparative examples were observed, and the specific results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0185] Table 1 Dissolution and fiber state

[0186]

[0187] Note: Complete dissolution is determined by the absence of swollen fine particles, no agglomerated molten state, and a uniform and transparent solution in the sight glass kettle.

[0188] From the data in Table 1 above, it can be seen that: Example 1-Example 5 adopts the preparation method of the present invention to effectively reduce the crystallinity of polyester. The modified polyester prepared by the present invention has low crystallinity, and the polyester is easier to dissolve during the dissolution process, and the molecular chain is easier to disentangle, thereby obtaining a uniform spinning solution. The present invention adopts a two-step method for flash spinning of polyester, first completely dissolving it in a high temperature and low pressure state to form a uniform and stable solution, and then inhaling supercritical gas under low temperature and high pressure to form a uniform flash spinning solution, and forming long fibers with a mesh structure through flash spinning. The present invention overcomes the difficulty of dissolving polyester and fills the gap in the use of polyester materials for flash spinning. The simple unmodified polyester has a large crystallinity, is difficult to dissolve, has a long dissolution time, and has a coarser fiber diameter of the ejected filament bundle; after being modified and made into an ultrafine powder, the crystallinity is reduced, the solubility in the solvent is enhanced, and the fiber diameter of the ejected filament bundle becomes thinner.

[0189] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, it can be seen that: if the one-step dissolution method is used to prepare the flash spinning solution, the spinning temperature and pressure are relatively high, the content of the auxiliary filamentation gas dissolved at this temperature is low, the resin cannot be completely dissolved in the system, the solution temperature has a large temperature difference with the external temperature, and a powder state is formed after spinning, and the subsequent molding performance deteriorates.

[0190] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the particles are not ground into ultrafine powder in step S1, the resin will take a long time to dissolve in the system, the molecular chains cannot be completely untangled, and the formed fibers will have a large diameter. The large fiber diameter will lead to reduced mechanical properties of the nonwoven fabric.

[0191] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, it can be seen that if steps S1 and S2 are not performed, the solubility of the resin in the system becomes poor, the molecules cannot be completely untangled and stretched in the system, and directly become powder under the action of high temperature during the spraying process.

[0192] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 4 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the dosage ratio of polyester particles is reduced, the raw material is mainly polyethylene, and the solubility is enhanced, the strength of the generated fibers will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the non-woven fabric.

[0193] From the data comparison of Comparative Example 5, Comparative Example 7 and Example 1, it can be seen that if zinc oxide is not added, there is not much difference in the resin dissolution, and the antibacterial performance of the non-woven fabric will be reduced after the non-woven fabric is formed; if the temperature difference between subsequent infrared is increased, there is not much difference in the early dissolution effect.

[0194] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 6 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the spinning temperature is lowered, the resin is analyzed inside the system, the fiber is relatively wet and does not unfold, the spinning process is unstable, and the fiber is disconnected.

[0195] The polyester flash nonwoven fabrics prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were tested for performance, and the testing methods involved were as follows: after the nonwoven fabrics were subjected to constant temperature and humidity treatment, the quantitative measurement standard was GB / T451.2-2002; the thickness measurement standard was GB / T451.3-2002; the tensile strength and elongation measurement standard was GB / T12914-2008; the tear measurement standard was GB / T455-2002; and the air permeability measurement standard was GB / T5453. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0196] Table 2 Test results of physical properties of polyester flash nonwoven fabrics

[0197]

[0198] Note: MD in Table 2 is the longitudinal direction of the nonwoven fabric, and CD is the transverse direction.

[0199] The polyester flash nonwoven fabrics prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were tested for antibacterial rate: see standard GB / T20944.2-2007 (Evaluation of antibacterial properties of textiles Part 2: Absorption method) The specific test conditions are:

[0200] The bacterial species used in the antimicrobial test were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.

[0201] Culture conditions: temperature 37℃±2℃, vibration frequency 110min -1 , culture time 18-24 hours.

[0202] The antibacterial rate (i.e., the inhibition rate) is expressed as: antibacterial rate = (average number of recovered bacteria in blank control samples - average number of recovered bacteria in test samples) / average number of recovered bacteria in blank control samples. An inhibition rate of more than 95% represents "having antibacterial properties", and an inhibition rate of more than 99% represents "having better antibacterial function". The specific test results are shown in Table 3.

[0203] Table 3 Antibacterial performance test results

[0204]

[0205] From the data in Table 2 and Table 3 above, it can be seen that the polyester flash-steamed nonwoven fabrics prepared by the preparation method of the present invention in Examples 1 to 5 have good fiber structures, and the polyester flash-steamed nonwoven fabrics have good antibacterial properties in combination with the properties of polyester itself. The polyester flash-steamed nonwoven fabrics have high strength, good air permeability, good antibacterial properties, and excellent comprehensive properties.

[0206] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the flash spinning solution is prepared by a one-step dissolution method, the solubility of the resin and the supercritical gas in the system becomes poor, causing the fiber to become powdery, and the strength, air permeability and antibacterial properties of the non-woven fabric after molding are significantly reduced.

[0207] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the particles are not ground into ultrafine powder in step S1, the resin has a small specific surface area, dissolves slowly in the system, the diameter of the ejected fiber becomes coarser, the air permeability is improved, but the antibacterial performance becomes worse.

[0208] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, it can be seen that if steps S1 and S2 are not performed, the sprayed filament bundles are in powder form, the powdered fibers do not have the three-dimensional network structure of the flash-steamed non-woven fabric, the bonding ability between the layers becomes poor, and the strength, air permeability and antibacterial properties of the non-woven fabric after hot pressing are significantly reduced.

[0209] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 4 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the dosage ratio of polyester particles is reduced, the raw material is mainly polyethylene, and polyethylene itself has good solubility, but its strength, air permeability and antibacterial properties are worse than polyester, then the strength, air permeability and antibacterial properties of the prepared non-woven fabric will be reduced.

[0210] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 5 and Example 1, it can be seen that if zinc oxide is not added, there is no inhibitory effect of zinc oxide particles on fungi, and the antibacterial performance is significantly reduced.

[0211] From the comparison of the data of Comparative Example 6 and Example 1, it can be seen that: if the spinning temperature is lowered, part of the resin will precipitate in the solvent, and the solvent cannot be completely flash-evaporated at low temperature, which will make the fiber wet and difficult to unfold, the spinning process will be unstable, the filament bundles will be broken, the web laying will be uneven, and the subsequent solvent treatment will be difficult. After hot pressing, the strength performance, air permeability and antibacterial performance will be significantly reduced. Therefore, the spinning temperature specified in the present invention is more conducive to obtaining a non-woven fabric product with excellent performance.

[0212] From the data comparison of Comparative Example 7 and Example 1, it can be seen that if the temperature difference between the three-stage infrared preheating is increased, the strength performance of the non-woven fabric will be significantly damaged. The increase in the temperature difference between the three-stage infrared preheating will lead to uncontrollable solvent removal speed, which will eventually affect the structure inside the non-woven fabric and further affect the strength performance. In the preparation method described in the present application, by reasonably controlling the temperature difference between the three-stage infrared preheating, the speed of residual solvent removal is more compatible with the structure of the polyester flash non-woven fabric, thereby obtaining a non-woven fabric product with relatively excellent comprehensive performance.

[0213] In summary, the present invention modifies polyester, high-density polyethylene particles, and additives in a twin-screw extruder, and adjusts the crystallinity of the particles by a quenching method, and the amount of polyethylene used can adjust the particle density to make it better soluble in the solvent. The modified particles are ground into ultrafine powders to increase the solubility in the solvent. The modified polyester is added to a reactor and mixed with a solvent, and a certain auxiliary gas is first added. The resin particles with low crystallinity can be dissolved at high temperature and low pressure to form a uniform polyester solution, and then transferred to a low-temperature autoclave to fully absorb supercritical gas spinning and web laying hot pressing to prepare a non-woven fabric with high tensile strength, good air permeability, and excellent antibacterial properties.
