[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a knitted fabric for clothing which provides improved comfort when a large amount of sweat is produced, and to clothing including the same. [Background technology]

[0002] When sweating a lot in hot seasons or during exercise, discomfort such as stickiness and wetness occurs. Therefore, various fabrics have been proposed as fabrics that can handle sweat when sweating a lot. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a partially water-absorbent knitted fabric in which a water-repellent resin is partially fixed to a water-absorbent knitted fabric. Patent Document 2 describes a water-repellent knitted fabric having a first portion that absorbs moisture and a second portion that receives moisture from the first portion and guides it to the outside. Patent Document 3 describes a knitted fabric having a water-repellent portion to which a water-repellent agent is applied and a water-absorbent portion that absorbs moisture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research to improve sweat management and lightness in stretchable and breathable knitted fabrics when a large amount of sweat is generated. As a result, they have found that by including one or more fiber yarns (I) selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns and hydrophilic fiber yarns (II) in a knitted fabric, and setting the amount of gaps between the fiber yarns and the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted fabric to predetermined values, sweat can be quickly managed when a large amount of sweat is generated, and the knitted fabric has excellent sweat management properties, and the knitted fabric is prevented from increasing in weight due to sweat absorption, resulting in excellent lightness. Since the knitted fabric for clothing has excellent sweat processing properties, when the wearer wears the knitted fabric for clothing, the feel of stickiness and wetness on the skin surface is reduced even if the wearer sweats a lot. Also, since the knitted fabric for clothing has excellent lightness and comfort, when the wearer wears the knitted fabric for clothing, the increase in weight of the garment due to sweat is suppressed even if the wearer sweats a lot, and the decrease in athletic performance and discomfort are reduced.

[0011] The fiber yarn (I) is one or more fiber yarns selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns. When the knitted fabric for clothing contains one or more fiber yarns (I) selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns, moisture on the surface of the knitted fabric is easily transferred. The fiber yarn (I) can be any fiber, such as spun yarn, multifilament yarn, or crimped yarn obtained by processing multifilament yarn. Examples of hydrophobic fiber yarns include fiber yarns composed of hydrophobic fibers such as polypropylene fibers, polyethylene fibers, and polyester fibers. Examples of water-repellent fiber yarns include water-repellent yarns obtained by processing organic fiber yarns to be water-repellent, and examples of organic fiber yarns include fiber yarns containing natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers. From the viewpoint of quick-drying property, water-repellent yarns obtained by processing fiber yarns containing hydrophobic fibers to be water-repellent are preferred. Specifically, the fiber yarn (I) is preferably at least one selected from polypropylene fiber yarn, polyester (PET, etc.) water-repellent yarn, acrylic water-repellent yarn, nylon water-repellent yarn, acetate water-repellent yarn, and ethylene vinyl alcohol water-repellent yarn. The water-repellent yarn may be treated to be water-repellent in the form of fiber or yarn, or may be treated to be water-repellent in the form of a knitted fabric.

[0012] The water-repellent treatment can be carried out as follows, without being particularly limited. For example, there is a method in which the yarn is rewound into a cheese shape, immersed in a water-repellent treatment agent, and then subjected to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing; a method in which a false twisting machine or a yarn twisting machine equipped with a water-repellent treatment agent application device is used, the water-repellent treatment agent is repeatedly applied to the yarn on these machines, and then subjected to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing; a method in which a water-repellent treatment agent application device is provided on a spinning / drawing machine in the raw yarn production stage, the water-repellent treatment agent is applied to the yarn on these machines, and then subjected to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing, etc.

[0013] The water repellent may be any of silicone-based water repellents, fluorine-based water repellents, and other water repellents that are commonly used for synthetic fibers, and is not particularly limited. Among these, fluorine-based water repellents are preferred from the viewpoint of durability. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of durability, aminoplast resins, polyfunctional blocked isocyanate group-containing urethane resins, ethylene carbonate, and the like may be added to the water repellent.

[0014] The fiber yarn (II) is a hydrophilic fiber yarn. The knitted fabric for clothing contains the hydrophilic fiber yarn (II), so that sweat discharged from the body surface can be absorbed. The fiber yarn (II) can be any type, such as spun yarn, multifilament yarn, or crimped yarn obtained by processing a multifilament yarn. The hydrophilic fiber yarn is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include cellulose fiber spun yarns such as cotton, rayon, acetate, and triacetate, nylon fiber yarns, blended yarns of these fibers and polyester fibers, composite spun yarns (including spun cross-twisted yarns) of these fibers and polyester (PET, etc.) multifilament yarns, polyester hydrophilic processed yarns obtained by hydrophilizing polyester fiber yarns, acrylic hydrophilic processed yarns obtained by hydrophilizing acrylic fiber yarns, and polyurethane hydrophilic processed yarns obtained by hydrophilizing polyurethane fiber yarns. The hydrophilic processed yarns may be made of a hydrophilic resin, may be hydrophilic processed in the state of fibers or yarns, or may be hydrophilic processed in the state of knitted fabric. As the fiber thread (II), one hydrophilic fiber thread may be used alone, or two or more hydrophilic fiber threads may be used in combination.

[0015] The hydrophilization treatment of the yarn or knitted fabric is not particularly limited, but can be carried out as follows. For example, there are a method of subjecting the knitted fabric to hydrophilic treatment in a bath simultaneously with dyeing in a dyeing process, or a method of subjecting the knitted fabric to a bath containing a hydrophilic substance after dyeing, and then subjecting the knitted fabric to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing; a method of rewinding the yarn into a cheese shape, immersing the yarn in a hydrophilic substance, and then subjecting the yarn to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing; a method of repeatedly subjecting the yarn to a hydrophilic substance on a false twisting machine or a twisting machine equipped with a hydrophilic substance application device, and then subjecting the yarn to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing; a method of providing a hydrophilic substance application device on a spinning / drawing machine in the raw yarn production stage, and then subjecting the yarn to a hydrophilic substance on the machine, and then subjecting the yarn to a crosslinking reaction by dry curing. When a knitted fabric in which fiber yarn (I) and fiber yarn (II) are woven is hydrophilized in a bath simultaneously with dyeing in a dyeing process, only fiber yarn (II) can be hydrophilized while fiber yarn (I) maintains its hydrophobicity and water repellency.

[0016] The hydrophilic substance is not particularly limited, but for example, when used in a hydrophilization treatment of polyester fibers, a water absorbent having affinity for polyester-based fibers, such as polyethylene glycol, or a block copolymer obtained by block polymerization of terephthalic acid and polyethylene glycol, can be used.

[0017] The clothing knitted fabric is allowed to absorb water for 10 seconds, and after being hung vertically from the ground for 30 seconds, the water retention capacity of the clothing knitted fabric is 100 g / m 2 More than 300g / m 2 The "amount of water retention after the clothing knitted fabric is allowed to absorb water for 10 seconds and then hung vertically from the ground for 30 seconds" corresponds to the saturated water retention capacity of the clothing knitted fabric. The saturated water retention capacity of the clothing knitted fabric is 100 g / m 2 When the amount of water absorbed by the knitted fabric for clothing is more than 300 g / m2, the fabric is easily absorbed when sweating, particularly when sweating in large quantities, and has excellent sweat management properties. 2 When the knitted fabric has a saturated water retention capacity of 105 g / m or less, an excessive weight increase due to sweat absorption by the knitted fabric when sweating, particularly when sweating a large amount, is suppressed, and the knitted fabric has excellent lightness and comfort. 2 More than 290g / m 2 It is preferable that the thickness is less than 115 g / m 2 More than 280g / m 2 More preferably, it is 120 g / m or less. 2 More than 270g / m 2 More preferably, it is 125 g / m or less. 2 More than 265g / m 2 It is particularly preferable that the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted clothing fabric is less than 100%. The saturated water retention capacity of the knitted clothing fabric can be adjusted based on the ratio of the fiber yarn (I) and the fiber yarn (II), the amount of gap between the fiber yarns, etc. For example, if the ratio of the fiber yarn (I) is high, the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted clothing fabric will be low. Also, if the amount of gap between the fiber yarns is small, the saturated water retention capacity of the knitted clothing fabric will be low.

[0018] In this specification, the "saturated water retention capacity" can be calculated by the following formula (1), specifically by using a sample cut from a knitted fabric for clothing to a size of 100 mm x 100 mm, measuring the weight of the sample to be designated as Wa(g), immersing the sample in water in a tank for 10 seconds, and then hanging it vertically from the ground for 30 seconds, and then measuring its weight to be designated as Wb(g). Saturated water retention capacity (g / m 2 )=(Wb-Wa)×100 (1)

[0019] In the knitted fabric for clothing, the hydrophilic region containing the fiber yarn (II) has a water absorption time measured according to JIS L 1907 A method (dropping method) of preferably 180 seconds or less, more preferably 60 seconds or less, even more preferably 40 seconds or less, and particularly preferably 20 seconds or less. When sweat is generated, sweat is easily absorbed quickly, and sweat management is improved. In addition, when the water absorption time is measured according to the dropping method of JIS L 1907 A method at five randomly selected points of the knitted fabric for clothing, the shortest water absorption time among the five points is preferably 180 seconds or less, more preferably 60 seconds or less, even more preferably 40 seconds or less, and particularly preferably 20 seconds or less.

[0020] In the knitted fabric for clothing, when the total amount of the fiber yarn (I) and the fiber yarn (II) is taken as 100 parts by weight, the weight ratio of the fiber yarn (I):fiber yarn (II) is preferably 3:97 to 90:10, more preferably 4:96 to 85:15, and further preferably 5:95 to 80:20. When the weight ratio of the fiber yarn (I) to the fiber yarn (II) is within the above-mentioned range, it is easy to adjust the amount of sweat absorption to an appropriate range.

[0021] In the knitted fabric for clothing, when the sum of the area (A) of the water-repellent or hydrophobic region including the fiber yarn (I) on the back surface (skin side) and the area (B) of the hydrophilic region including the fiber yarn (II) is taken as 100%, B is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 15% or more, and even more preferably 20% or more. This makes it easier to absorb sweat. Also, B is preferably 95% or less, more preferably 90% or less, and even more preferably 85% or less. This makes it possible to absorb sweat while preventing the amount of sweat absorption from becoming too large. From the viewpoint of uniformity of sweat treatment, the knitted fabric for clothing has a thickness of 1 cm 2 It is preferable that at least one fiber thread (II) is arranged per unit area.

[0022] In this specification, the area (A) of the hydrophobic or water-repellent region refers to the product of the thickness of the fiber yarn (I) in the knitted fabric under no load, measured using a digital microscope (e.g., product number VH-Z25, manufactured by Keyence Corporation), and the number of fiber yarns (I) constituting the knitted fabric per unit area. In addition, when the hydrophobic or water-repellent region is constituted by applying resin to the knitted fabric, the area (A) refers to the applied area of ​​the resin per unit area of ​​the knitted fabric. The area other than the hydrophobic or water-repellent region is regarded as the hydrophilic region, and the ratio of the area (B) of the hydrophilic region can be calculated by the following formula (6). Proportion of B = B / (A+B)×100 (6)

[0023] The knitted fabric for the garment is 10,000 mm 2 The gap between the fiber threads per unit (hereinafter referred to as "unit gap") is 4500 mm 3 The unit gap amount in the present invention means the amount of gaps between fiber threads, excluding through holes that penetrate the knitted fabric in the thickness direction and have lengths of 0.3 mm or more in both the warp and weft directions. In the knitted fabric, the gaps between fiber threads and the through holes have different functions. Specifically, water is retained in the gaps between fiber threads, whereas water is not retained in the through holes. When the unit gap amount of the knitted clothing fabric is within the above-mentioned range, the amount of water retained by the knitted clothing fabric is suppressed, and thus the weight increase due to sweat absorption of the knitted clothing fabric can be suppressed ... 2The gap between each fiber thread is 4300mm. 3 It is preferable that the length is less than 4200 mm. 3 It is more preferable that the length is less than 4100 mm. 3 More preferably, it is 4000 mm or less. 3 It is particularly preferable that the unit gap of the knitted fabric for clothing is 2000 mm or less from the viewpoint of stretchability and sweat absorption. 3 It is preferable that the length is 2200 mm or more. 3 More preferably, it is 2400 mm or more. 3 More preferably, it is 2600 mm or more. 3 The unit gap amount of the knitted fabric for clothing can be adjusted at the stage of designing the grey machine by setting the gauge, stitch count, and knitting conditions of the knitting machine while taking into consideration the characteristics (composition, thickness, stretchability, etc.) and structure of the yarn used.

[0024] In this specification, the "unit gap size" can be measured and calculated, for example, as follows. (1) Measure and calculate the aperture ratio. (a) From a paper on which an image of a knitted fabric is printed, a rectangular area formed by lines connecting the centers of the four through holes is cut out to serve as a sample for measuring the opening ratio. (b) The weight W1 (g) of the sample for measuring the aperture ratio is measured. (c) The through-hole contained in the sample for measuring the aperture ratio is cut out, and the weight W2 (g) of the sample for measuring the aperture ratio after the through-hole has been cut out is measured. (d) Calculate the aperture ratio (α) using the following formula (2). α = (1 - W2 / W1) (2) The opening rate means the ratio of through holes to the entire knitted fabric. When the knitted fabric for clothing does not have through holes, α is set to 0. (2) Measure and calculate the apparent volume. (a) The knitted fabric is cut to a size of 100 mm (L) x 100 mm (W) to serve as a sample. (b) Measure the thickness T (mm) of the sample. (c) Calculate the apparent volume (Da) using the following formula (3). Da = (L x W x T) mm3 (3) (3) Measure and calculate the actual volume. (a) Pour a certain amount of water into a measuring cylinder and read the scale (S1). (b) A piece of knitted fabric (thickness T) cut to 100 mm (L) x 100 mm (W) like the sample used to measure the apparent volume in (2) above is placed in a measuring cylinder, and the scale is read (S2). (c) Calculate the actual volume using the following formula (4). Vd = (S2-S1) mm 3 (4) (4) The unit gap amount of the knitted fabric is calculated using the following formula (5). Unit gap amount (mm 3 / 10000mm 2 ) = [Da × (1-α)] - Vd (5)

[0025] The knitted fabric for clothing may have through holes that penetrate the knitted fabric in the thickness direction, and have lengths of 0.3 mm or more in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The through holes preferably maintain a gap when the knitted fabric for clothing is hung with 300% moisture relative to 100% of the knitted fabric weight so that the through holes are vertical. This allows breathability to be maintained. The through holes are preferably arranged in one direction. One direction may be either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal to the knitted fabric, but are preferably arranged vertically or horizontally. This is because the through holes are preferably arranged vertically when the knitted fabric is made into clothing. It is preferable that at least a part of the knitted fabric that contacts the through holes has a water-repellent or hydrophobic region, and the other part has a hydrophilic region. This structure makes it easy for moisture to move from the vicinity of the through holes to the hydrophilic region, and a water film is not formed near the through holes. As a result, the breathability of the through holes of the knitted fabric for clothing is ensured even when wet due to sweating, the effective amount of sweating is increased, athletic performance is not reduced, and comfort is easily maintained even when sweating. The planar shape of the through holes may be any shape such as a circle, an ellipse, a square, a diamond, a triangle, a polygon, or an irregular shape.

[0026] The opening ratio of the knitted fabric for the garment is preferably 1% to 50%, more preferably 2% to 40%, which further increases the effective amount of sweat, prevents a decrease in athletic performance, and makes it easier to maintain comfort even when sweating.

[0027] The knitted fabric for clothing may be any knitted fabric, for example, circular knit, weft knit, or warp knit. The circular knit may be single circular knit (single jersey) or double circular knit (double jersey). The weft knit may be a basic structure such as plain knit (plain knit), rib knit (elastic knit), and pearl knit (garter knit), as well as a modified structure such as floating knit, tuck knit, lace knit, double rib knit, single rib knit, pererine knit, eyelet knit, smooth knit (double-sided knit), swing knit, shift knit, needle-punched knit, plated knit, laven knit, and twist knit. The warp knit may be a single Van Dyke knit (single atlas knit), single cord knit (plain cord knit), Berlin knit, double stitch, shell knit, tricot knit (double denby knit), atlas knit, cord knit, half tricot knit, satin knit (modified tricot), Milanese knit, etc. As the knitted fabric for clothing, for example, single circular knit, tricot knit, etc. can be suitably used. The knitted fabric for clothing may be a one-way knitted fabric or a two-way knitted fabric, and may contain elastic yarn such as polyurethane fiber yarn.

[0028] The knitted fabric for clothing is not particularly limited, but preferably has a thickness of 0.90 mm or less, more preferably 0.80 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.70 mm or less. If the thickness is within the above range, a refreshing feeling can be felt even when playing sports in a hot environment. From the viewpoints of durability and ease of absorbing and retaining sweat, the knitted fabric for clothing is preferably 0.30 mm or more, and more preferably 0.35 mm or more in thickness.

[0029] The knitted fabric for the clothing is not particularly limited, but may be 180 g / m 2 It is preferable that the thickness is less than 170 g / m 2 More preferably, it is 160 g / m or less. 2If the basis weight is within the above-mentioned range, a cool feeling can be felt even when playing sports in a hot environment. From the viewpoint of durability, the knitted fabric for clothing has a basis weight of 60 g / m or less. 2 More preferably, it is 70 g / m or more. 2 More preferably, it is 80 g / m 2 That's all.

[0030] The clothing of the present invention includes the clothing knit fabric. The clothing is not particularly limited and may be worn on the upper body, the lower body, or the whole body. Examples include shirts, T-shirts, inner shirts, training warmers, briefs, tights, etc. It can be suitably used for sports clothing used in hot seasons when sweating is particularly high. In the clothing of the present invention, the clothing knit fabric may be used entirely or partially. For example, it may be used partially on the armpits, back, etc. where sweat is likely to occur. EXAMPLES

[0031] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0032] The evaluation and measurement methods used in the examples and comparative examples will be described below.

[0033] (Unit Gap Amount) (1) The aperture ratio was measured and calculated. (a) A rectangular area formed by lines connecting the centers of the four through holes was cut out from a paper on which an image of the knitted fabric was printed, and used as a sample for measuring the opening ratio. (b) The weight W1 (g) of the sample for measuring the aperture ratio was measured. (c) The through-hole contained in the sample for measuring the aperture ratio was cut out, and the weight W2 (g) of the sample for measuring the aperture ratio after the through-hole was cut out was measured. (d) The aperture ratio (α) was calculated using the following formula (2). α = (1 - W2 / W1) (2) The opening ratio means the ratio of through holes to the knitted fabric, and when the knitted fabric does not have through holes, α is set to 0. (2) The apparent volume was measured and calculated. (a) The knitted fabric cut to 100 mm (L) x 100 mm (W) was used as a sample. (b) The thickness T (mm) of the sample was measured. (c) The apparent volume (Da) was calculated using the following formula (3). Da = (L x W x T) mm 3 (3) (3) The actual volume was measured and calculated. (a) Pour a certain amount of water into a measuring cylinder and read the scale (S1). (b) A sample (thickness T) cut to 100 mm (L) x 100 mm (W) in the same manner as the sample for which the apparent volume was measured in (2) above was placed in a measuring cylinder, and the scale was read (S2). (c) The actual volume was calculated using the following formula (4). Vd = (S2-S1) mm 3 (4) (4) The unit gap amount of the knitted fabric was calculated using the following formula (5). Unit gap amount (mm 3 / 10000mm 2 ) = [Da × (1-α)] - Vd

[0034] (Area ratio of hydrophilic area) The area (A) of the hydrophobic or water-repellent region was calculated by measuring the thickness of the fiber yarn (I) on the back side (skin side) in a no-load knitted state using a digital microscope (product number VH-Z25, manufactured by Keyence Corporation) and multiplying this by the number of fiber yarns (I) constituting the knitted fabric per unit area. The area other than the hydrophobic or water-repellent region was defined as the hydrophilic region, and the ratio of the area (B) of the hydrophilic region was calculated using the following formula (6). Percentage of B (%) = B / (A+B) x 100mm 3 (6)

[0035] (Saturated water retention amount) The knitted fabric was cut into a sample of 100 mm x 100 mm, and the weight of the sample was measured and recorded as Wa (g). The sample was then immersed in water in a tank for 10 seconds and then hung vertically from the ground for 30 seconds, after which the weight was measured and recorded as Wb (g). The saturated water retention capacity was calculated using the following formula (1). Saturated water retention capacity (g / m 2 )=(Wb-Wa)×100 (1)

[0036] (Water absorption time) The water absorption time of the hydrophilic region was measured in accordance with JIS L 1907 A method (drop method).

[0037] (Examples 1 to 4, Comparative Examples 1 to 7) Knitted fabrics were produced under the conditions shown in Table 1 below using fiber yarn (I) and fiber yarn (II). In Example 1, hydrophilic fibers were arranged in one out of three fibers, in Example 2, three out of four fibers, in Example 3, one out of three fibers, and in Example 4, two out of three fibers. Figures 1 to 8 show front and back photographs of samples of knitted fabrics of Examples 1 to 4, respectively. The polyester hydrophilic processed yarn is a polyester fiber yarn that has been hydrophilically treated with a hydrophilic polyester resin finishing agent, the polyester water-repellent processed yarn is a polyester fiber yarn that has been water-repellent treated with a fluorine-based water-repellent agent, and the polyurethane hydrophilic processed yarn is a polyurethane fiber yarn that has been hydrophilically treated with a hydrophilic polyester resin finishing agent.

[0038] (Reference example 1) A double-weave fabric was produced using polyester hydrophilic yarn (multifilament: 56 dtex, 72 strands; 67 dtex, 72 strands) as the warp yarn and polyester hydrophilic yarn (multifilament: 83 dtex, 72 strands) as the weft yarn. The yarn density was 162 / 2.54 cm for the warp yarn and 134 / 2.54 cm for the weft yarn.

[0039] The knitted fabrics obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were measured for the unit gap size, the area ratio of the hydrophilic region, the saturated water retention capacity and the water absorption time of the hydrophilic region as described above, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0040] (Wearing test) Shirts were sewn using the knitted fabrics of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 2, 4, 6, and 7, and a wearing test was conducted. The wearing test was conducted in the Kansai area from July to early September, in which the subject wore the subject shirt (nothing was worn on the skin side of the subject shirt), exercised, and evaluated (1) weight, (2) sweat absorption and quick drying, (3) stickiness, and (4) comfort when sweating a lot by a sensory test (SD method, bipolar scale, 5-point scale). The results are shown in Table 3 below. The subjects were 11 healthy Japanese men in their 20s to 40s. Exercise: 5min / km, 30 minutes of running. The scores were based on the sensation felt during normal exercise. The evaluation criteria were -2 (bad), -1 (slightly bad), 0 (average), 1 (slightly good), and 2 (good).

[0041] [Table 1]

[0042] [Table 2]

[0043] [Table 3]

[0044] As can be seen from Tables 1 to 3, in the case of the examples, the weightiness when sweating a lot, sweat absorption and quick drying, stickiness, and comfort were all good. On the other hand, the knitted fabric does not contain one or more fiber yarns (I) selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic fiber yarns and water-repellent fiber yarns, and has a saturated water retention capacity of 300 g / m 2 In the comparative example exceeding 4500 mm, the weight is inferior when sweating heavily. 3 The saturated water retention capacity is over 300g / m 2 In the comparative examples exceeding this value, the feeling of weight during heavy sweating is poor. In the case of the comparative example not containing the hydrophilic fiber yarn (II), sweat treatment was not possible, and sweat absorption and quick drying, sticky feeling, and wearing comfort were poor. In other words, it was confirmed that the Examples were superior to the Comparative Examples in terms of weight and sweat management when the garment became wet due to heavy sweating.
