Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a towel that has high water absorbency and is less likely to shed fluff even after washing. [Background technology]

[0002] Towel products are widely used in daily life, and are often used to wipe away moisture from the skin, so they are required to have good water absorbency. It is known that using untwisted pile yarn increases water absorbency because large spaces are created between the pile fibers (Patent Document 1, etc.). Furthermore, durability is generally required for towel products that are repeatedly used and washed, and the loop pile on the surface of the towel fabric means that fibers tend to fall out (shed) due to snagging or friction, which needs to be improved. It has been proposed to prevent pile yarn from falling out by using pile yarns with long fibers or fine counts (Patent Document 1). It has also been disclosed that towels with specific ranges of ground weave density, pile ratio, and pick count, and with snare formed in the pile, have excellent pile retention properties (Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5737733 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 5699379 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Although non-twisted yarn can increase the absorbency of pile yarn, the yarn has low strength and is prone to shedding. On the other hand, towel products such as those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, which suppress shedding, do not necessarily achieve sufficient absorbency. In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a towel product that has excellent water absorbency and is less likely to shed fluff even after washing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] As a result of extensive research, the inventors discovered that by increasing the warp and weft density in towel products, using untwisted yarn with long fiber length for the pile yarn, and increasing the pile length, it is possible to increase water absorbency while suppressing shedding, and thus completed the present invention.

[0007] The present invention provides a towel product that quickly absorbs water, absorbs a large amount of water, and is less likely to shed fluff even after washing. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention will now be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be freely modified within the scope of the present invention.

[0009] The towel product of the present invention is composed of warp yarns, weft yarns, and pile yarns. The warp yarns and weft yarns form a ground (base fabric) portion, and the pile yarns form a pile loop portion and a ground portion. The material of the warp threads in the present invention is not particularly limited, and natural fibers or chemical fibers can be used. Natural fibers include plant fibers such as cotton, hemp, and kapok, and animal fibers such as silk, wool, goat hair, llama hair, camel hair, rabbit hair, horse hair, and cow hair. Chemical fibers include regenerated fibers such as rayon, cupra, and polynosic; semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, triacetate, and promix; synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyurethane; and other fibers such as metal fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, and Japanese paper. Natural and synthetic rubbers can also be used as materials. From the viewpoints of water absorption and texture, natural fibers are preferred, and plant fibers such as cotton and hemp are more preferred, with cotton being particularly preferred. The warp threads may be of any desired thickness, and the warp thread diameter may be 10 to 80 count in terms of cotton count, preferably 10 to 50 count, and more preferably 10 to 30 count.

[0010] The material of the weft yarn in the present invention is not particularly limited, and natural fibers or chemical fibers can be used. Natural fibers include plant fibers such as cotton, hemp, and kapok, and animal fibers such as silk, wool, goat hair, llama hair, camel hair, rabbit hair, horse hair, and cow hair. Chemical fibers include regenerated fibers such as rayon, cupra, and polynosic, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, triacetate, and promix, and synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyurethane. Natural and synthetic rubbers can also be used as materials. From the viewpoints of water absorption and texture, natural fibers are preferred, and plant fibers such as cotton and hemp are more preferred, with cotton being particularly preferred. The weft thread may have any desired thickness, and the weft thread diameter may be 10 to 80 count in terms of cotton count, preferably 10 to 50 count, and more preferably 10 to 30 count.

[0011] The pile yarn in the present invention is a non-twisted yarn. Non-twisted yarn refers to a yarn that has no twist or has a small twist (weak or loose). Such non-twisted yarn is obtained by twisting a spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn together in the opposite direction to the twist direction of the spun yarn to form a composite twisted yarn, and then dissolving and removing the water-soluble yarn with a hydrophilic solvent. It is preferable to use one that can be used in this way. The spun yarn for obtaining the untwisted yarn is not particularly limited as long as it is made of a fiber that is not soluble in water, and may be any of natural fiber, synthetic fiber, semi-synthetic fiber, and regenerated fiber.

[0012] Examples of natural fibers include cotton, wool, silk, and linen. Examples of synthetic fibers include polyester fibers (poly-C fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate fibers, polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers, polybutylene terephthalate fibers, and polyethylene naphthalate fibers). 2-4Alkylene arylate fibers, etc.), polyamide fibers (aliphatic polyamide fibers such as polyamide 6 and polyamide 66), polyolefin fibers (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) 2-4 Examples include olefin fibers, acrylic fibers (acrylonitrile fibers, etc.), water-insoluble polyvinyl alcohol fibers (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer fibers, etc.), polyvinyl chloride fibers (polyvinyl chloride, etc.), and polyvinylidene chloride fibers. Examples of semi-synthetic fibers include acetate fibers such as triacetate fibers, etc. Examples of regenerated fibers include rayon, polynosic, cupra, and lyocell. These fibers can be used alone or in combination. From the viewpoint of water absorption and texture, natural fibers are preferred, plant fibers such as cotton and hemp are more preferred, and cotton is particularly preferred.

[0013] The spun yarn for obtaining the non-twisted yarn is formed from fibers having a fiber length of preferably 35 mm or more, more preferably 38 mm or more, and even more preferably 41 mm or more. There is no particular upper limit to the fiber length, but when cotton is used as the fiber, it is usually about 42 mm. By using non-twisted yarns formed from such long fibers as pile yarns, a certain level of strength is imparted to the yarns and fluffing is suppressed. The fiber length is measured by the double sorter method of JIS L1019:2006. This is the value that can be obtained.

[0014] The spun yarn may have a desired diameter, and the diameter of the spun yarn may be 10 to 80 count in terms of cotton count, preferably 10 to 50 count, more preferably 10 to 30 count, and even more preferably 17 to 20 count. The diameter of the spun yarn is usually the diameter of the untwisted yarn remaining after the water-soluble yarn has been removed.

[0015] The water-soluble yarn constituting the composite twisted yarn prepared to obtain the non-twisted yarn is not particularly limited as long as it has solubility in a hydrophilic solvent, but yarn that dissolves in water (hot water) at temperatures up to the boiling point of water (approximately 100°C) under atmospheric pressure is particularly preferred. Here, the solubility in water is preferably such that when the water-soluble yarn is immersed alone in hot water at a temperature of 80°C or higher and left for 30 minutes, 85% by mass or more of the mass of the water-soluble yarn before immersion dissolves in the hot water.

[0016] The fibers constituting the water-soluble yarn are not particularly limited as long as they have the water solubility described above, but for example, fibers made of a water-soluble resin can be used. Examples of water-soluble resins include cellulose-based resins (hydroxy C such as hydroxyethyl cellulose), 2-3 alkyl cellulose, etc.), polyvinyl resins (polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl ether, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, etc.), acrylic copolymers or alkali metal salts thereof (copolymers containing units composed of acrylic monomers such as (meth)acrylic acid and hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters, etc.), water-soluble polyamide resins (polyamides having polyoxyethylene units, polyamides into which sulfonic acid groups or hydroxyl groups have been introduced, etc.), water-soluble polyester resins (polyesters having polyoxyethylene units, polyesters into which sulfonic acid groups or amino groups have been introduced, etc.), etc. These water-soluble resins can be used alone or in combination. The water-soluble yarn may be a spun yarn or a filament yarn (long fiber) as long as it is water-soluble. Filament yarn is preferred because it can be easily dissolved and removed in a hydrophilic solvent.

[0017] The water-soluble thread can be of any desired thickness, but the diameter of the water-soluble thread can be 10 to 80 count in cotton count terms, with 10 to 50 count being preferred and 10 to 30 count being more preferred.

[0018] The mass ratio of the spun yarn to the water-soluble yarn is, for example, preferably spun yarn / water-soluble yarn=98 / 2 to 20 / 80, more preferably 95 / 5 to 30 / 70, even more preferably 90 / 10 to 50 / 50, and particularly preferably 90 / 10 to 70 / 30.

[0019] The specific number of twists of the spun yarn is, for example, preferably 5 to 50 turns per inch, more preferably 6.25 to 37.5 turns per inch, even more preferably 7.5 to 30 turns per inch, and particularly preferably 10 to 20 turns per inch. The twist direction of the spun yarn may be either S or Z. In this specification, 1 inch is defined as 2.54 cm. The number of twists of the water-soluble yarn is adjusted to match the adjustment range of the untwisted yarn, and the twist direction of the water-soluble yarn is opposite to that of the spun yarn. The difference between the twist number of the spun yarn and the twist number of the water-soluble yarn, i.e., the twist number of the untwisted non-twist yarn, is, for example, preferably 1 to 5 turns per inch, more preferably 2 to 5 turns per inch, even more preferably 3 to 5 turns per inch, and particularly preferably 4 to 5 turns per inch. The twist direction of the non-twist yarn may be either S or Z.

[0020] The untwist adjustment range for the non-twist yarn in the present invention is preferably −25 to +25%, more preferably −15 to +15%, even more preferably −10 to +10%, and particularly preferably −5 to +5%. Here, the untwist adjustment range is an index of -10 to +10% when the reverse twist of the water-soluble yarn is 90 to 110 for a twist of 100 for S or Z spun yarn, for example. The degree of twist of the non-twisted yarn of the present invention may be expressed as the S / Z ratio of the spun yarn to the water-soluble yarn when preparing the non-twisted yarn, with the S / Z ratio preferably being 0.75 to 1.25, more preferably 0.85 to 1.15, even more preferably 0.9 to 1.1, and particularly preferably 0.95 to 1.05. The S / Z ratio is the value obtained by dividing the number of S-direction twists per unit length by the number of Z-direction twists per unit length. By using such non-twisted yarn as the pile yarn, large spaces are created between the fibers of the pile yarn, which increases water absorption.

[0021] In the towel product of the present invention, the density of the ground portion (also called the base fabric portion or ground weave portion) of the towel fabric is high. Specifically, the warp density is 50 to 60 threads / inch, preferably 53 to 57 threads / inch, and more preferably 54 to 56 threads / inch. The weft density is 30 to 40 threads / inch, preferably 31 to 34 threads / inch, and more preferably 32 to 33 threads / inch. In this way, by increasing the number of threads per unit area of ​​the towel fabric, the amount of water that can be held by the towel increases, thereby increasing the water absorbency.

[0022] In the towel product of the present invention, the pile formed by the pile yarns has a length of 5 to 10 mm, so-called long pile, preferably 5.5 to 8 mm, more preferably 6 to 7 mm. The pile length is half the length of the pile loops extending from the ground portion of the towel fabric. The longer pile length increases the amount of thread per unit area of ​​the towel fabric, The amount of water held by the pile increases, resulting in increased water absorption. Furthermore, the long pile length results in a towel product with a fluffy feel. Generally, when the pile length is long, the pile loops lie flat, which can reduce the thickness of the towel fabric. However, the towel product of the present invention has a high warp and weft yarn density as described above, which allows the pile to stand up well, resulting in a towel with excellent thickness and a fluffy feel.

[0023] The towel product of the present invention can be produced by a standard method using a loom. There are no particular limitations on the loom as long as it is capable of weaving towel fabric, but examples include rapier looms, air jet looms, water jet looms, 16-frame dobby looms such as Sulzer looms, and jacquard looms. During production, the pile yarn may be used in the weaving process in an untwisted form. However, from the standpoint of efficiency, it is preferable to use a composite twisted yarn as the pile yarn in the weaving process and then remove the water-soluble yarn of the composite twisted yarn from the woven fabric to form the pile loops with the untwisted yarn. Specifically, the towel product of the present invention can be produced by a weaving process using warp yarns, weft yarns, and pile yarns, the pile yarns being composite twisted yarns formed by twisting a spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn in opposite directions to form a towel fabric with a warp density of 50 to 60 ends per inch and a weft density of 30 to 40 ends per inch, and a process of removing the water-soluble yarn from the formed towel fabric. The spun yarns are formed from fibers with a fiber length of 35 mm or more. Furthermore, by setting the S / Z ratio of the composite twisted yarn to 0.75 to 1.25, the yarns remaining to form the pile loops after removal of the water-soluble yarns are untwisted yarns. The length of the pile formed by the pile yarns conforms to the description of the towel product of the present invention.

[0024] In the weaving process, the rotation speed of the loom, i.e., the number of times the weft yarn is inserted per minute, is preferably 250 to 400 rotations / minute, more preferably 270 to 360 rotations / minute, and even more preferably 290 to 330 rotations / minute. Because the warp and weft yarn density of the towel product of the present invention is high, it may be difficult to bring out the pile yarns in the weaving process, but by setting the rotation speed lower (slower) than usual, it becomes easier to form pile loops.

[0025] The step of removing the water-soluble threads is usually carried out by immersing the towel fabric formed in the previous step in a hydrophilic solvent. Examples of hydrophilic solvents include water, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol), ketones (e.g., acetone), ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran), cellosolves (e.g., methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve), and carbitols (e.g., carbitol, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether), and these may be used alone or in combination.

[0026] From the viewpoint of efficiently removing the water-soluble yarn, it is preferable that the temperature of the hydrophilic solvent during immersion is high, specifically, 5 to 20°C higher than the dissolution temperature of the water-soluble yarn. For example, if the water-soluble yarn is formed from a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol fiber, water at 85 to 100°C is used. When water is used as the hydrophilic solvent, the extraction water may be neutral, alkaline, or acidic aqueous solution, or may be an aqueous solution containing a surfactant or the like. The amount of the hydrophilic solvent used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2 to 1000 times, more preferably 3 to 100 times, and even more preferably 5 to 50 times the mass of the composite twisted yarn. The immersion time is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 300 minutes, more preferably 3 to 200 minutes, and even more preferably 5 to 100 minutes. The immersion process may be repeated multiple times to thoroughly remove the water-soluble threads.

[0027] The towel fabric of the present invention may be subjected to various finishing processes as required, such as dyeing, raising, shearing, mercerizing, buffing, bleaching, and heat setting. It is possible.

[0028] The towel product of the present invention has excellent water absorbency. The water absorption rate measured by the surface water absorption method (modified Larose method) of JIS L1907 is preferably 5 seconds or less, more preferably 1 second or less, and even more preferably 0.3 seconds or less. The water absorption measured by the 2 More preferably, 5.5 mL / 9 cm 2 More preferably, 6 mL / 9 cm 2 That's all.

[0029] Furthermore, the towel product of the present invention is resistant to shedding, particularly after washing. Specifically, the fluff shedding rate (mass %) of the towel after washing is preferably 0.5 mass % or less, more preferably 0.2 mass % or less, and even more preferably 0.1 mass % or less. Here, washing is carried out in accordance with JIS-L 0217 103 method. The fluff shedding rate of the towel after washing is calculated by collecting and recovering fluff contained in the washing wastewater using a 150 μm mesh filter installed in a drain, measuring its weight after drying (amount of fluff shedding), and dividing the weight by the weight of the towel used. [Example]

[0030] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0037] <Water absorption test> The towels of the examples and comparative examples were each cut to a predetermined size and subjected to a water absorption test. The water absorption rate was measured according to the sedimentation method of JIS L1907. The water absorption amount was measured according to the surface water absorption method (modified Larose method) of JIS L1907.

[0038] <Pile shedding test> The towels of the Examples and Comparative Examples were washed 1, 30, and 50 times according to JIS L0217 103, and the fluff contained in the washing wastewater was collected and recovered using a 150 μm mesh filter installed in the drain. After drying, the weight (amount of fluff that had fallen off) was measured. The amount of fluff that had fallen off was divided by the weight of the towel used to calculate the fluff shedding rate (%) of the towel after washing.
