Definitions

  • This invention relates to the manufacturing of non-woven fabrics within the technical textile sector; more specifically, the manufacturing of fabrics for wet wipes. Specifically, this invention relates to a method of manufacturing non-woven fabrics, by forming a fabric with three layers (known as CSC): a first card layer (C layer), a second spun layer (S layer) and a third card layer (C layer).
  • CSC three layers
  • the product whereto this invention relates is a non-woven fabric, with interlaced fibres, designed to produce wet wipes to be used on the human skin. For this reason, the fabric must be absorbent and soft to the touch.
  • Patent EP1192306 discloses a CSC fabric wherewith the necessary absorption and feel are obtained, by adding the spun's greater resistance, making it possible to create products that have the same or better characteristics than the previous conventional products.
  • a first carded web is introduced in the spun machine's apron, inside it, wherein the spun layer is deposited by the action of a strong vacuum.
  • the two-layer fabric is subsequently coated by a third card layer, which creates problems upon feeding the webs and extracting the compound web.
  • the layers are then compacted by means of cold pinch rollers, which leads to the problem of excessively reducing the thickness, which must remain within an adequate range.
  • Patent application US2005/0215156A1 proposes to pre-consolidate the spun web by means of a first water jet, to subsequently complete the consolidation by means of a second water jet; it mentions that, prior to the second jet, layers of other types of webs made of continuous polymer filaments may be added. This preconsolidation of the spun web may entail problems and requirements that are not always justified by the quality of the final product obtained.
  • the purpose of this invention is to join the two production methodologies explained above, by forming a fabric with three layers (known as CSC), a first card layer (C layer), a second spun layer (S layer) and a third card layer (C layer), which produces the necessary absorption and feel, but free from the above-mentioned problems and disadvantages of the state of the art, by adding the spun's greater resistance, making it possible to create products with the same or better characteristics than current products, even having greater thickness, greater bulking capacity and better feel characteristics, much more suitable for the intended use.
  • CSC three layers
  • C layer first card layer
  • S layer second spun layer
  • C layer third card layer
  • the object of this invention is a new method of manufacturing non-woven fabrics, of the type specified, which, in essence, is characterised by a stage wherein the continuous filaments of the unconsolidated spun web are placed directly on the first card web, to subsequently deposit the second card web on the spun web.
  • the spun web is fed on the first card layer by means of a transport apron that forms a certain angle with the surface of the card layer, which is preferably maintained in the horizontal position.
  • Said angle is preferably less than or equal to 35 degrees.
  • the method also considers a stage of impregnation with a surfactant in order to hydrophilise it, thereby compensating for the spun product's (continuous PP filaments) hydrophobic properties.
  • both the spun web and the first card web coated by the spun web are made to go through weed rollers with a breathable surface and a (vacuum) suction section.
  • this invention discloses the non-woven fabric product manufactured by means of the method as claimed in the preceding claims, as well as a wet wipe manufactured from the above-mentioned non-woven fabric product.
  • the application of the unconsolidated spun web makes it possible to optimise the final characteristics of the final products obtained by means of the method of the invention, specifically, albeit not exclusively, wet wipes.
  • One possible explanation is that, since the S layer is not pre-consolidated, a stronger bond is obtained between the C-S-C layers when they are consolidated in the Jet, thus obtaining a cohesive product with the required tractions and thickness. In this manner, the "barrier" effect caused by the S layer placed in the middle of the product is also reduced.
  • the essence of the invention consists of allowing for good coupling of the spun web (continuous filaments) between the two card webs (short fibres).
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view representing an installation for the implementation of the method of this invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows that the production line for the implementation of the method of the invention comprises a card 1, which produces a first card web 3 that is transported on a first card apron 2, and on a second card apron 8, which passes beneath a spun production station 4.
  • web is understood to mean the formation of fibres in a uniform, unconsolidated (there is no dimensional stability) layer on an apron
  • fabric is understood to mean an already-consolidated web, that is, one having stable dimensions and a high level of cohesion between the fibres or filaments that compose it.
  • Weed roller 5 is a roller with a breathable surface and a (vacuum) suction section designed to transport unconsolidated web 7.
  • Spun web 7 descends on an apron 17 and is deposited on the first card web 3, transported by a second apron 8 and carried by weed roller 6, from apron 17 to apron 8, being deposited on card web 3.
  • a compound web 9 is formed which is made of the first card web 3 and the superimposed spun web 7.
  • Angle a is preferably between 0 and 35°.
  • a second card web 11 is produced on a second card 10 and deposited on compound web 9, which advances on the second apron 8, forming the CSC compound web 16, which constitutes the object of the invention; following entanglement by a water jet 12, a hydrophiliser 13 and a drier 14, the non-woven fabric is formed and, after being spooled in a winder 15, the final product, that is, the fabric designed for manufacturing wet wipes and other uses, is obtained.
  • hydrophiliser 13 it is important to mention that it is necessary to impregnate the product with a surfactant in order to hydrophilise it, so as to achieve the standard values of absorption, wicking rate and sinking time in the wet wipe market. This addition is ⁇ necessary to overcome the spun product's (continuous PP filaments) hydrophobic properties.
  • the method of the invention leads to a product 16 (wet wipe) with good thickness, transverse traction capacity, absorption capacity and product dimensional stability (linting, lamination) characteristics.
  • the product may be imprinted by means of thermoprinting or hydroprinting and may be subject to already-known finishes or coatings.
  • the method of the invention makes it possible to obtain a product with the following characteristics: Surface density (grammage): between 18 g/m2 and 50 g/m2.
  • Card webs made of Vs/PES, Vs/PP or Vs with fibres between 0.9 dtex and 5 dtex, and lengths between 30 and 70 mm.
