[0086] Disposable diapers are made of a liquid-impermeable back sheet made of a polyolefin resin film, etc., and an impermeable A liquid-permeable top sheet made of woven fabric or the like and a layer that diffuses the liquid that has permeated through the top sheet. A liquid diffusion sheet, an absorbent body disposed between the liquid diffusion sheet and a liquid-impermeable back sheet, The absorbent material is basically made up of the following components: In order to prevent this, the absorbent body is used with its surface covered with absorbent paper such as tissue. In addition, in the case of absorbent articles, elastic members such as rubber are attached in a stretchable manner, so that the article can be easily worn. The structure is designed to fit around the legs and waist of the person and prevent waste from leaking out. There are.
[0087] In the production of such paper diapers, the hot melt adhesive β is used, for example, in the manufacture of cellulose-based In order to integrate the porous substrates by adhesion, a cellulose-based porous substrate and a nonwoven fabric, etc. It is preferably used for bonding and integrating with other porous substrates.
[0088] A method of bonding nonwoven fabric layers (I) and (II) to form a laminate using a hot melt adhesive β The method is not particularly limited and any known method can be used. For example, The hot melt adhesive β is applied to the nonwoven fabric layer (I) or (II), and then the applied hot melt adhesive A method is used in which another nonwoven fabric layer is placed on the melt adhesive and then pressed together. can be done.
[0089] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these examples. However, it is to be understood that the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. This is an argument. EXAMPLES
[0090] Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the above.
[0091] Manufacture of hot melt adhesive β Thermoplastic elastomers, tackifiers, plasticizers, antioxidants, and The mixture and various additives were added to a mixing and kneading machine equipped with a heating device, heated to 145°C, and mixed for 90 minutes. The mixture was kneaded for 24 hours to obtain hot melt adhesive Production Examples 1 to 19.

[0094] [Table 3]
[0095] Preparation of adhesive sheet Silicone oil coated release PET film (50μm) The above hot melt adhesive β was melted at 140°C and applied to a thickness of 10 μm and a width of 90 mm. Then, release paper (thickness 15 μm) was attached to the opposite side of the release PET film. Thereafter, the adhesive sheet was placed in an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% relative humidity. The hot melt adhesive was then left to stand for 24 hours to harden. The adhesive sheet A was obtained by cutting the sheet into pieces each having a length of 5 mm and a length of 40 mm.
[0096] Preparation of nonwoven fabric Cotton nonwoven fabrics I to III and rayon nonwoven fabric were prepared. For the standard deviation (SMD), a surface tester (e.g., Kato Tech KES-FB4 As a result of measuring the thickness of the cotton nonwoven fabric I as described above, the thickness of the cotton nonwoven fabric I was 1.623, Ton nonwoven fabric II is 3.179, cotton nonwoven fabric III is 6.931, and rayon nonwoven fabric is 4. It was measured at .857.
[0097] Fabrication of the laminate As shown in FIG. 1, the nonwoven fabrics I to III and the rayon nonwoven fabric were cut by 70 mm in the MD direction and 70 mm in the CD direction. The release paper of each of the above adhesive sheets was removed and the nonwoven fabric was The cloth was attached to the surface on which the SMD measurement was performed, and a 500g roll was placed on top of it and measured at 5mm / s The adhesive sheet was then rotated back and forth at a speed of 1000 s. Then, the release film was peeled off to expose the adhesive sheet. A second nonwoven fabric was attached to the adhesive surface, with the surface on which the SMD measurement was performed. In both the examples and the comparative examples, the two nonwoven fabrics sandwiching the adhesive sheet were made of the same material. A 100 g roll was placed on the obtained laminate and rolled at a speed of 5 mm / sec. It went back and forth once.
[0098] Adhesion evaluation test over time A tensile tester (Shimadzu Corporation AGS-X) was used to test the laminates of each of the examples and comparative examples. The nonwoven fabric was subjected to a T-peel test at a tensile strength of 100 mm / min in the MD direction. The maximum test force was measured. The measurement was carried out three times, and the average value was taken as the test result for the maximum convex test force. The measurement was carried out after each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was produced, and the temperature was 23°C and the humidity was 50% for 2 h. After leaving it for 4 hours, it was left at 50℃ for 1 week and 2 weeks. From this point on in the specification, the measurement results after 24 hours of standing are referred to as "initial strength," and those after one week and two weeks. The measurement results after standing are called "1W intensity" and "2W intensity", respectively. The evaluation criteria are as follows, regarding the average value obtained by performing the above maximum convex test force measurement three times: The adhesiveness was evaluated according to the following criteria. It was determined that. <Evaluation criteria> Less than 2.00N × 2.00N or more but less than 2.50N △ 2.50N or more but less than 3.00N 〇 3.00N or more ◎
[0099] Evaluation test results As shown in Tables 4 to 15 below, in the laminates of Examples 1 to 52, after one or two weeks, In contrast, the laminates of Comparative Examples 1 to 24 showed no such excellent adhesion. No excellent adhesion was observed.
