Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-like nonwoven fabric having a large number of grain-like irregularities on the surface and containing no binder, and particularly for applications such as towels and underwear. The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-like nonwoven fabric suitable for 2. Description of the Related Art Nonwoven fabrics, unlike woven fabrics and knitted fabrics, are obtained without spinning or knitting fibers, and thus can be manufactured at low cost and are used for various purposes. However, since it is inferior in texture to fabrics and the like, it is not suitable for use as clothing and personal items. Therefore, conventionally, a large number of irregularities are formed on the surface of the non-woven fabric to form a grain-like non-woven fabric to improve the texture. The method for producing this grain-like nonwoven fabric is as follows. First, a latent heat-shrinkable fiber and a non-shrinkable fiber are mixed to prepare a web, and a binder solution is applied to this web. Then, the binder solution is semi-dried to temporarily bond the constituent fibers in the web, and then the latent heat-shrinkable fibers are contracted and the non-shrinkable fibers are bent to form a large number of irregularities on the web surface. Then, the binder solution is completely dried to obtain a grain-like nonwoven fabric. However, since the binder is fixed to the whole of the grain-like nonwoven fabric, the hardness remains in terms of flexibility and touch, and the texture is not sufficiently improved. Further, since the constituent fibers are bonded by the binder, the strength of the nonwoven fabric is low. Therefore, such a non-woven fabric is used only for limited applications such as simple hand-wiping, and cannot be used as a cloth personal item such as clothing or towel. Then, as a result of intensive studies to improve this point, the present inventor succeeded in obtaining a grain-like nonwoven fabric having high strength without using a binder, and arrived at the present invention. Means and Actions for Solving the Problems That is, the present invention comprises 5 to 50% by weight of latent heat-shrinkable fibers and 50 to 90% by weight of rayon fibers, and a fiber web in which each fiber is not bonded to each other Is prepared, and the latent heat-shrinkable fibers and the rayon fibers are intimately entangled with each other by applying a high-pressure columnar water flow to the fiber web, and then heat is applied to the latent heat-shrinkable fibers. The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-free nonwoven fabric containing no binder, which is characterized by causing the rayon fiber to bend by causing shrinkage to form many irregularities on the surface of the nonwoven fabric. The latent heat-shrinkable fiber used in the present invention is a fiber that exhibits shrinkage (including crimp in the present invention) by applying heat. Such potentially shrinkable fibers can be made, for example, by subjecting them to a high degree of drawing during spinning. Further, it may be a composite fiber (side-by-side composite fiber) obtained by melt-spinning two components having different shrinkage rates from separate nozzle holes and bonding them together. This composite fiber is a fiber that develops crimps because only one component contracts when heat is applied. Further, the latent heat-shrinkable fiber used in the present invention does not have the property of shrinking when heat is applied, but elongating when heat is applied. That is, the latent heat-sensitive shrinkage / latent heat-expandable fiber that contracts when heat is applied and then spontaneously expands when heat is applied is
It is not included in the latent heat-shrinkable fibers referred to in the present invention. The rayon fiber used in the present invention is a fiber that neither shrinks nor stretches at the temperature at which the latent heat-shrinkable fiber develops shrinkage. The latent heat-shrinkable fiber and rayon fiber described above are used to form a fibrous web. To form the fibrous web, for example, the latent heat-shrinkable fiber and the rayon fiber are uniformly mixed and then the card method or the air ray method is applied. Further, by laminating a web obtained by applying the card method or the like to the latent heat-shrinkable fiber and a web obtained by applying the card method or the like to the rayon fiber, the latent heat-shrinkable fiber and the rayon fiber are combined. A fibrous web may be formed. In the fibrous web, latent heat-shrinkable fibers, rayon fibers, and latent heat-shrinkable fibers and rayon fibers are in an unbonded state. That is,
The fibers are not bound to each other with a binder or are not self-fused. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the fibrous web, for example, when a high-pressure columnar water stream is applied, each fiber can move freely. The weight ratio of the latent heat-shrinkable fiber to the rayon fiber in the fibrous web is 5 to 50% by weight for the former and 50 for the latter.
~ 95% by weight. When the latent heat-shrinkable fiber content is less than 5% by weight, the total shrinkage expression is reduced even if heat is applied in the subsequent step, and the rayon fiber cannot be sufficiently bent, which is not preferable. Also, when the latent heat-shrinkable fiber exceeds 50% by weight, the amount of rayon fiber becomes relatively small, and the amount of deflection of rayon fiber becomes small,
It is difficult to form many irregularities on the surface of the nonwoven fabric, which is not preferable. The fibrous web is subjected to a high pressure columnar water stream to intimately entangle the latent heat-shrinkable fibers with the rayon fibers. In this way, the latent heat-shrinkable fibers and the rayon fibers are intimately entangled with each other in the fiber web because the fibers are not bonded to each other and the high-pressure columnar water flow imparts This is because the fibers move freely. Here, the high-pressure columnar water flow is obtained by ejecting water at high pressure through a nozzle hole having a fine diameter. Specifically, it is obtained by ejecting water at a pressure of 5 to 400 kg / cm 2 using a nozzle having a nozzle hole diameter of about 0.001 to 0.1 cm. When such a high-pressure columnar water stream is applied to the fibrous web, the constituent fibers move and intimately entangle with other adjacent constituent fibers. As a result, a nonwoven fabric having high tensile strength can be obtained without applying a binder. Heat is applied to the fibrous web (called a fiber fleece) in which the respective fibers are intimately entangled with each other.
The application of heat is for causing the latent heat-shrinkable fiber to exhibit shrinkage. Therefore, the amount of heat or the heating temperature is appropriately determined by the contraction development temperature of the latent heat-shrinkable fiber. Even if the latent heat-shrinkable fiber contracts, the rayon fiber does not contract, so that the rayon fiber bends in the fiber fleece. That is, when the latent heat-shrinkable fiber and the rayon fiber are intimately entangled with each other, when the latent heat-shrinkable fiber contracts, the distance between the entanglement points of the rayon fiber is reduced, and the rayon fiber is not entangled. The joint part will bend. As a result, a large number of grain-like random irregularities are formed on the surface of the obtained non-woven fabric. The random irregularities are formed because the latent heat-shrinkable fibers are not arranged in a fixed direction in the fiber fleece. As described above, a grain-like nonwoven fabric having a large number of irregularities on the surface of the nonwoven fabric is obtained. By applying heat,
After the latent heat-shrinkable fiber is shrunk and expressed, when the resulting nonwoven fabric contains water (water by applying a high-pressure columnar water stream, water by applying heat of moisture, etc.), it is appropriately introduced into a dryer. Evaporate the water. In addition, when the water has already evaporated due to the application of the high-pressure columnar water flow due to the application of heat, a grain-like nonwoven fabric can be obtained without introducing it into the dryer. Example 1 A mixture of 30% by weight of latent heat-shrinkable polyester fiber having a fiber length of 64 mm and a fiber diameter of 3 denier and 70% by weight of non-shrinkable rayon fiber having a fiber length of 64 mm and a fiber diameter of 1.5 denier was mixed. hand,
A fiber web having a basis weight of 50 g / m 2 was obtained by the card method. This fibrous web was placed on a flat plate, and water was uniformly ejected onto the fibrous web at a pressure of 50 kg / cm 2 using a nozzle having a nozzle diameter of 0.02 cm. The distance between the nozzle tip and the fiber web is
It was 10 cm. The fiber fleece thus obtained is
The constituent fibers were intimately entangled with each other. 90 ° C. steam was applied to the entire fiber fleece to shrink the polyester fiber in the fiber fleece. afterwards,
It was introduced into a dryer at 100 ° C. and dried to obtain a grain-like nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 50 g / m 2 . This grain-like nonwoven fabric had a large number of randomly formed irregularities on both surfaces of the nonwoven fabric. And the physical properties of this grain-like nonwoven fabric are as follows: warp strength 5.4kg / 5cm width, weft strength 16kg / 5cm
It had a width, a warp elongation of 96%, and a weft elongation of 48%, and it had good flexibility, good feel to the touch, and good texture. Example 2 A bicomponent latent crimpable side-by-side type composite fiber composed of nylon 6 and nylon 66, having a fiber length of 72 m.
A first fiber web having a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 was obtained by the card method using 100% by weight of the composite fiber having m and a fiber diameter of 1.6 denier. In addition, rayon fiber with a fiber length of 64 mm and a fiber diameter of 1.5 denier is 100% by weight.
Was used to obtain a second fibrous web having a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 by the card method. The first fibrous web and the second fibrous web were laminated, the fibrous web was placed on a flat plate, and a fibrous fleece was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, the composite fiber in the first fibrous web and the rayon fiber in the second fibrous web are intimately entangled with each other at the boundary of the layers, and a fiber fleece in which each constituent fiber in each layer is intimately entangled with each other. Was obtained. This fiber fleece was introduced into boiling water to crimp the composite fiber in the fiber fleece. Then, it was dried in a dryer at 100 ° C. to obtain a grain-like nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 50 g / m 2 . This grain-like nonwoven fabric had a large number of randomly formed irregularities on only one surface of the nonwoven fabric, and the height of these irregularities was higher than that of Example 1. The physical properties of this grain-like nonwoven fabric are as follows: warp strength 3.5 kg / 5 cm width, weft strength 15 kg /
The width was 5 cm, the weft elongation was 105%, the weft elongation was 58%, and the flexibility was good, the touch was good, and the texture was good. Example 3 Using a 100% by weight latent heat-shrinkable acrylic fiber having a fiber length of 38 mm, a fiber diameter of 1.5 denier, and a basis weight of 20 g / m 2 by the card method.
Was produced. Two fiber webs having a basis weight of 20 g / m 2 were prepared by the card method using 100% by weight of non-shrinkable rayon fiber having a fiber length of 64 mm and a fiber diameter of 1.5 denier. The intermediate fibrous web was sandwiched between the two fibrous webs to form a fibrous web having a three-layer structure. This fiber web having a three-layer structure was placed on a flat plate, and a fiber fleece was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, the acrylic fibers in the intermediate fibrous web are intimately entangled with each other at the boundary between the rayon fibers in the fibrous web on the front and back sides and the layers, and a fiber fleece in which the constituent fibers in each layer are intimately entangled with each other is obtained. Was given. This fiber fleece was introduced into hot air at 150 ° C. to crimp the acrylic fiber in the fiber fleece to obtain a grain-like nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 60 g / m 2 . This grain-like nonwoven fabric had a large number of randomly formed irregularities on both surfaces of the nonwoven fabric, and the height of these irregularities was the same as that of Example 2. The physical properties of this grain-like nonwoven fabric are as follows: warp strength 5.5 kg / 5 cm width, weft strength 16.5 kg / 5 cm width,
The warp elongation was 115%, the weft elongation was 65%, and the flexibility was good, the touch was good, and the texture was good. As described above, in the grain-like nonwoven fabric obtained by the method according to the present invention, the constituent fibers are not bound to each other by the binder, but are tightly entangled by the high-pressure columnar water flow. In addition to being excellent in flexibility, the strength (tensile strength) is high, and therefore the shape stability is extremely excellent. Further, since many random irregularities are mainly formed on the surface of the rayon fiber, the texture is good and the texture is excellent. Therefore, the grain-finished nonwoven fabric obtained by the method according to the present invention can be used in various applications not used in conventional nonwoven fabrics, such as towels and underwear, and is extremely useful industrially.
