Description
本明細書で使用する場合、用語「不織布ウェブ」は、方向を揃えて、又はランダムに配向した繊維からなるウェブ、シート又はバットを、摩擦、及び/又は粘着、及び/又は接着により結合して製造された材料を指し、紙、並びに、からみ糸若しくはフィラメント糸を含む織物、編物、タフト、ステッチボンド、又は、更なるニードル加工の有無に関わらず湿式縮絨によるフェルトなどの製造物は含まない。繊維は天然由来のものでもよく、又は人工的なものでもよい。繊維は、ステープル若しくは連続フィラメントでもよく、又はその場で形成されてもよい。不織布の多孔質繊維構造は、繊維の固有の特性に基づいて、あるいは処理、例えば、繊維上への界面活性剤の添加によって、所望により親水性又は疎水性となるように構成され得る。
本発明の不織布は、不織布前駆体の繊維のいくつかが前駆体不織布の平面から押し出されて、不織布の少なくとも1つの表面から延在する中空突起を形成し、他方の表面上に対応する開口部を有するように機械的に変形される、以下に更に例示される、多種多様な不織布前駆体から生産され得る。前駆体不織布を変形させるための機械的プロセスの例もまた、以下に更に開示される。
多種多様な前駆体不織布を機械的に変形させて、変形した不織布における必要な特性を得ることができる。不織布前駆体は、単層、又は多層(例えば、2層以上の層)で製造することができる。本明細書で使用する場合、「前駆体不織布」という用語は、本発明の変形した不織布を形成するように変形されている任意のタイプの不織布(単層、複合層、及び一体型層)を指す。前駆体不織布が複数の副層又は一体型層を含む場合、これらは、同じ種類の繊維を含むか、又は異なる繊維組成物を含み得る。一部の場合において、前駆体材料は、フィルム層を含まなくてよい。前駆体不織布はまた、典型的には、超吸収性ポリマー粒子(SAP)を含まない。
前駆体不織布は、均質でかつ連続的なウェブを形成するために、100%セルロースパルプ繊維か、又は好ましくはパルプ繊維と短切断合成繊維の混合物のいずれかである短繊維を含むエアレイド不織布であってもよい。当技術分野で知られているように、エアレイドは、いくつかの方法で、特にラテックス結合(LBAL)、熱結合(TBAL)、及びマルチ結合(MBAL)を介して結合され得る。ラテックス結合において、液体結合剤が、ウェブのいずれかの側又は両側に適用され、その後、乾燥及び硬化されて、必要とされる乾燥及び湿潤強度を達成する。熱結合において、そのような複合繊維の結合繊維は、ウェブ形成に含まれ、ウェブは加熱されて、合成繊維の溶融成分を活性化してウェブを結合する。多重結合は、ラテックスと熱結合が組み合わされる結合プロセスであり、典型的には製品の内部部分が熱結合され、表面は、ダスト及びリンティングを排除するためにわずかな結合剤層を有する。
前駆体不織布は、図6に示すように、同時に緊密に接触しかつ変形される、2つ以上の層で構成された複合不織布であり得る。そのような前駆体複合不織布及びそれらの製作方法の例が、例えば、国際公開第2018/197937号(Renら、Fitesa)に記載されている。複合不織布は、特に、
-特にカード不織布を含む流体捕捉構成要素60aと、
-流体捕捉構成要素60aと面接触するエアレイド構成要素60bであり、特にセルロースステープル繊維と非セルロースステープル繊維とのブレンドを含むエアレイド構成要素と、を含み得る。
特定のタイプの好適な前駆体不織布は、一体型不織布である。一体型不織布は、それらの界面で一体化された繊維の層を含む。不織布の繊維統合は、主にZ方向(正又は負)に繊維を絡み合わせる任意の好適なプロセスを介して起こり得る。そのような繊維統合の生成に適した例示的なプロセスには、ニードルパンチ及びスパンレースが含まれる。ニードルパンチは、スパンボンド及び/又はカードウェブ(複数可)の繊維の機械的インターロックを伴う。ニードルパンチプロセスでは、複数の有棘針が、不織布ウェブ(複数可)を繰り返し通過し、不織布ウェブの繊維を正及び/又は負のZ方向に押圧する。対照的に、スパンレースプロセスは、水の高速ジェットを使用して、不織布ウェブ(複数可)の繊維のインターロックを引き起こす。水の高速ジェットは、不織布ウェブの繊維を正又は負のZ方向に押圧する。顕微鏡の助けを借りると、ニードルパンチされた不織布は、MD方向とCD方向の両方において複数の離散的なZ方向繊維統合を含むが、スパンレース不織布は一般に、MD方向沿いには連続的であるが、CD方向においては離散的である統合を含む。
本発明による不織布は、それらの機械的特性を改善するために、上記で開示されたものなどの前駆体不織布を機械的に変形させることによって生産される。いくつかの一体化されたスパンレースなどのいくつかの前駆体不織布は、所望の範囲内又はそれに近い良好な特性をすでに有し得るが、以下で更に論じられるように、機械的な変形は、これらの材料の場合でさえ、100mmでの水平屈曲垂下及びZコンプライアンス指数によって測定される性能を更に向上させ得ることが見出された。
以下の実施例では、特に指示がない限り、全ての%は重量%である。前駆体不織布は、変形前のそれらの特性で示される。異なる代替の機械的変形処理を行い、変形した不織布の特性を以下に示すように測定した。
本発明の不織布を使用し得る例示的な吸収性物品が、乳児用テープ式おむつ20の形態で図1~図4に示されている。本発明は、乳児用おむつパンツ、成人失禁用パンツ、又は婦人生理用パッドなどの多種多様なおむつ又は他の吸収性物品に適用可能であるため、このテープ式おむつ20は例示目的のみで示されたものである。以下では、単語「おむつ」及び「吸収性物品」は、互換的に使用される。これらの図は、本発明を実施するための1つの方法の例示として本明細書で使用されており、特に指示がない限り、特許請求の範囲を限定するものではない。
吸収性コア28は、最大の吸収能力を有する吸収性物品の構成要素であり、吸収性材料層30を含む。吸収性材料層30は、概して、長方形であるか、あるいは、例えば、(上部から見たとき)その幅に沿ってコアの中央領域に向かって先細になる砂時計形の形状であってもよい。このようにして、吸収性材料堆積区域は、吸収性物品の股部領域内に配置されることが意図されたコアの区域において、比較的狭い幅を有してもよい。これにより、例えば、より良好な着用快適性をもたらすことができる。これは当然、多種多様な吸収性コアに本発明が適用可能であるため、本発明の範囲を限定するものではない。吸収性材料の区域に、長方形、「T字」、又は「Y字」又は「ドッグボーン」形状などの他の形状も使用され得る。
前述のように、本情報の変形した不織布は、トップシート24と吸収性コア28との間に配設される捕捉層54として有利に使用され得る。捕捉層54は、任意の好適なサイズを有してもよく、また、吸収性材料層30又は吸収性コア28(おむつが図3のように平坦化されたときに考慮される)より小さくても、大きくても、同じサイズであってもよい。捕捉層は、典型的には、22℃の脱イオン水との90°未満の接触角、典型的には70°未満の接触角によって定義されるように親水性である。接触角は、前駆体不織布上でより容易に測定され得る。
吸収性物品は、吸収性コア28とバックシート25との間、又はより一般的には吸収性層30と、吸収性コア28と一体化されている場合のバックシート25との間に配設されたマスキング層100を任意選択で含み得る。マスキング層は、吸収性コア内の超吸収性粒子の場合によってはざらざらする感触を隠すことによって、衣類に面する側から知覚される吸収性物品の感触を改善するのに役立ち得る。マスキング層は、不織布材料、フィルム、発泡体、又は他の好適な材料によって提供され得るが、特に本発明による変形した不織布によって提供され得る。この後者の場合、マスキング層は、物品における本発明による唯一の変形した不織布であり得るか、あるいは上述のように、捕捉層として変形した不織布と組み合わせて使用され得る。マスキング層は、吸収性層とバックシートとの間にバリアを提供するように、典型的には疎水性である。したがって、マスキング層は、22℃の脱イオン水との90°超の接触角、典型的には100°超の接触角を有し得る。マスキング層が機械的に変形される場合、接触角は、前駆体不織布上でより容易に測定され得る。
マスキング層は、本発明において使用される場合、機械的に変形されることも、されないこともあるため、以下の実施例は機械的に変形されていない。
個人衛生用の吸収性物品は、典型的には、製造業者によって、輸送及び販売のためにプラスチック製の袋及び/又はボール紙製の箱に包装される。物品は、当該技術分野において知られているように、スペースを節約するように折り畳まれて包装されていてもよい。テープ式おむつの後耳部及び前耳部は、例えば、典型的には内側に折り畳んだ後におむつをその横断軸に沿って2つ折りにし、その後、包装される。吸収性物品は、パッケージのサイズを低減するために、圧縮して包装してもよく、その結果、介護者はパッケージを容易に取り扱い、保管することができる一方で、パッケージのサイズのおかげで製造業者は流通及び在庫を節約することもできる。それでもなお、保管及び輸送中にそれらの形状を保持するか、あるいは少なくともパッケージから抜き出された後に回復し得るように、突起を過度に圧縮しないように注意する必要がある。典型的なパッケージは、2~200の範囲の物品の物品量を含む。
別段の指示がない限り、本明細書に示された値は、本明細書で以下に示される方法に従って計測されたものである。別段の指示がない限り、全ての測定は、23℃±2℃及び50%±2%RHで実施される。別段の指定がない限り、この試験を実施する前に、全てのサンプルは少なくとも24時間、これらの条件に保たれて平衡化されるべきである。可能な場合、それらが吸収性物品に一体化される前に、構成要素材料に対して測定が行われる。これが可能ではない場合、(必要な場合に、Texas、HoustonのControlCompanyのCyto-Freezeなどの極低温スプレーを使用して)材料を他の層から除去する間に試験試料層にいかなる混入も歪みも付与しないように、試料を切除するときに注意する必要がある。
原理:この方法は、不織布が自重で曲がる能力(「ドレープ性」と呼ばれることがある)を測定する。測定原理は、鋭利な90°の縁部の上で100mmの長さの材料を垂らし、mmで表されるその自重下における材料のこの長さの垂直垂下を測定することである。この垂直垂下は、図11の参照番号1として示されている。
i)幅方向における上縁部4の少なくとも1つが鋭い90度の角度を有する、約400mmの長さ、約200mmの幅、及び厳密に140mmの高さ3のポリカーボネート(例えば、Lexan(登録商標))などの任意の好適な材料で作製された平坦支持ボックス2。ボックス1は、ラボベンチなどの適切な平坦な表面5上に位置付けられる。
ii)安定した水平フットを有し、ボックスが配設されている平坦な表面5にそのゼロが対応するように較正された可動垂直金属定規6。可動垂直金属定規は、材料試験片9の垂れ下がる縁部8の平坦な表面までの距離7を測定するために使用される。
原理:この方法は、不織布が加えられた圧力下でz方向に圧縮され、次いで加えられた圧力が除去された後にその元のキャリパーに回復する能力を測定する。
Zコンプライアンス指数=(C1-C2)/(P2-P1)
0.1mm3/N単位で記録される。
回復率=C3/C1*100%
パーセントで表され、0.1%単位で記録される。
吸収性物品のパッケージのバッグ内積み重ね高さは、以下のように判定される。
本明細書で使用する場合、「含む、備える(comprise(s)、comprising)」という用語は、非限定的(open-ended)である。それぞれは、続いて記載される特徴、例えば構成要素の存在を特定するものであるが、他の特徴、例えば、技術分野において既知であるか、又は本明細書に開示される要素、工程、構成要素の存在を除外するものではない。「含む、備える(comprise)」という動詞に基づくこれらの用語は、特徴がその機能を実施する方法に著しく影響を及ぼす言及されていないあらゆる要素、工程、又は成分を除外する、「から本質的になる(consistingessentiallyof)」というより狭義の用語、及び明記されていないあらゆる要素、工程、又は成分を除外する、「からなる(consisting of)」という用語を包含すると解釈されるべきである。以下に記載する好ましい又は例示的な実施形態はいずれも、特に具体的に示さない限り、特許請求の範囲を限定するものではない。「典型的に」、「通常は」、「好ましくは」、「有利には」、「具体的には」などの語も、特許請求の範囲を限定することが具体的に示されていない限り、特許請求の範囲を限定することを意図しない特徴を修飾する。
