Definitions

  • the invention relates to ultrafine fiber webs and paper-like products which comprise surface-deposited, fibrous flake formations of glass-like solidified, reactive and capable of polymer formation low molecular weight resin melts.
  • a continuous polymer formation and / or functionalization is triggered by targeted, subsequent external action of liquid or gaseous reactants or catalysts.
  • the invention relates to a process for producing the ultrafine nonwoven and paper-like products.
  • meltblown processes are used in the production of ultrafine fiber webs from polymer melts at fiber diameters of less than 10 .mu.m.
  • the melt jet emerging from the nozzle is warped by a gas stream into fine fibers.
  • Characteristic is a parallel or staggered arrangement of spinnerets and the use of hot air at high speed to delay the individual filaments. If the mass flow of blowing gas is sufficiently high, the monofilament is severely distorted and torn off when the breaking point is reached. The result is a stochastic fiber length distribution.
  • the patent WO 2006/037371 describes a process in which continuous fibers are very finely warped.
  • the gas flow used is severely limited by a maximum pre-pressure and the air temperatures are in the range of 15 to 120 ° C at temperatures of the molten polymer of 300 to 400 ° C.
  • the objective of the process is to produce endless filaments without yarn breaks and without bonding the fine fibers together.
  • the mass flow of blown air is indicated by the Limited pressure conditions, there are thermoplastic polymers used.
  • US Pat. No. 7,585,454 B2 describes a meltblown process and an apparatus for producing nonwoven fabrics from orientable polymers, in particular from polyethylene terephthalate.
  • a polymer melt is extruded in the form of fibers which are drawn by a high velocity, hot air stream.
  • the hot air flow is not so intense that the fibers split up.
  • a controlled temperature control in several stages, an entanglement or bonding is achieved.
  • the fibers are laid on top of each other in several layers and cut.
  • the subject of WO 92/16361 is a blow molding process for producing nonwovens with at least two layers of different fiber types.
  • the fibers are mixed turbulently after extrusion in each case in a high-speed gas stream, for example in an air stream. In the areas in which the gas flows overlap, connect and / or consume the different fiber types together.
  • a process for the production of fine endless nonwoven fibers is described.
  • the fiber strands are split by a gas stream. This effect is achieved by the use of a Laval nozzle and the setting of supercritical flow conditions with air velocities in the so-called supersonic range. This gas speeds are generated greater than the speed of sound.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that a special nozzle design and Mach numbers a> 1 or a ratio of the gas pressures p (a) / p (i)> 0.525, ie a so-called critical pressure ratio, must be adhered to in order to burst the fiber strand to achieve many endless or quasi-endless finest filaments.
  • Reactive, suitable for polymer formation low molecular weight resin melts are not fundamentally suitable due to the physico-chemical properties suitable to form nonwovens. Nevertheless, such a method is described in the patent document WO 2006/100041.
  • the fibers are distorted by a special nozzle design in the gas stream, they tear off with stochastic distribution and yield ultrafine fibers in a random orientation with different fiber lengths. Subsequently, the fibers are treated with a three-dimensional molecular crosslinking initiating medium and self-adhesively bonded and / or cured in a subsequent thermal curing in the fleece.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to develop a cost-effective method for producing Feinstmaschinevliesen and paper-like products, which operates with Mach numbers Ma ⁇ 1, ie below the speed of sound, and the self-bonding of the low molecular weight resin melts exploits in an advantageous manner.

  • Preferred process conditions are: a melt throughput per nozzle between 1.0 and 1.8 g / min, more preferably about 1.44 g / min, a melt temperature between 120 and 130 ° C, particularly preferably 130 ° C, a temperature of Gas flow between 190 and 230 ° C, more preferably 220 ° C, and gas flow rates of 300 m / s.
  • the gas stream is preferably a hot air stream.
  • the invention accordingly provides a process for the production of ultrafine nonwoven and paper-like products from reactive, thermoplastic, low molecular weight resin melts, which is characterized in that the resin melts in gas media with a gas velocity in the range of 0.2 ⁇ Ma ⁇ 1.0 at a temperature of the gas medium are produced above the melting temperature of the low molecular weight resin used, wherein the resin melts exiting from the nozzle are first warped and split into finely fibrous structures and flocculation takes place, the flakes are laid down to a microfiber or paper-like products and the thermoplastic, low molecular weight resins are condensed be converted into thermosetting resins.

  • the molten resin therefore shows no pronounced pseudoplastic behavior, in contrast to thermoplastics with linear molecular chains.
  • Fig. 4 shows the temperature distribution in the melt jet (2). Due to the hot gas flow (4), the melt in the peripheral zone (6) has a reduced viscosity compared to the core zone (5), which makes it possible to defiber the melt jet and to form flakes.
  • the resin melts may additionally comprise further additives which influence the properties, for example carbon black as antistatic agent or pigments for coloring.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des nappes de microfibres et des produits similaires au papier, constitués de structures floconnées fibreuses à base de fusions de résines de bas poids moléculaire réactives, aptes à former des polymères et solidifiées à la manière du verre. Lorsque les fibres ont atteint une finesse spécifique à la résine, une polymérisation et/ou une fonctionnalisation en continu peut être déclenchée en les soumettant par la suite de manière ciblée à l'influence externe de réactants ou de catalyseurs liquides ou gazeux. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de fabrication de ces nappes de microfibres ou produits similaires au papier. On extrude des fusions de résines de bas poids moléculaire réactives dans des milieux gazeux à des vitesses du gaz élevées et à des températures supérieures à la température de fusion des résines de bas poids moléculaire puis on étire et on disperse les structures à microfibres ainsi formées afin de provoquer la formation de flocons. On dépose les flocons pour former des nappes non tissées ou des produits similaires au papier. En la chauffant et/ou en la soumettant à l'action de catalyseurs, on convertit la résine réactive de bas poids moléculaire en une résine duroplastique.
