2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in Japan, due to the small land area, some wastes are recycled (regenerated) or treated as industrial waste at a treatment plant. Most are incinerated and disposed of. In recent years, industrial waste treatment plants have also become full,
There are few new candidate sites for industrial waste disposal, and incineration of waste is difficult due to the problem of dioxin.

[0003] In particular, in recent years, the amount of waste (so-called medical waste) generated in hospitals and nursing homes for the elderly has increased, and the problem of the labor and man-hours of these treatments has become a hot topic. In particular, in order to dispose of plastic moldings such as plastic trays for placing scalpels and candies after surgery, plastic basins used by patients, and plastic trays for treating parts and body fluids removed from patients, It is not possible to send to a recycling plant or a waste disposal site, but after disinfection, it takes a lot of trouble to send to a regeneration plant or a waste disposal site, or when incinerated as it is, dioxin can be reduced by incineration There is a very painful problem that it will occur, and there is a continuing need for rapid improvement.

The plastic molded product is not melted, not recycled, sent to an industrial waste disposal site, and is not incinerated. Dissolution treatment is not practical because of the problem of these waste liquids, and is dissolved in water. In order to make the molded product water-soluble, it is necessary to use a water-soluble resin.However, when the water-soluble molded product is made of solid material, it has strength but takes time to dissolve in water. Too practical. Also, when using a resin that is molecularly designed to dissolve in water at high speed as a solid material,
It becomes too soft due to moisture absorption and cannot be used. There is also a means of forming a water-soluble molded article with a water-soluble resin foam, but in this case, although the time for dissolving in water is short, there is a problem of strength and a thin material cannot be used, so that it is not practical. For disposal treatment, a water-soluble molded product that dissolves in water quickly, can be disposed of sewage, is thin, light, strong, and does not become soft due to moisture absorption is desired. In particular, molded products that are used and contaminated for medical or nursing care are those that are thin, light, strong, do not soften due to moisture absorption, dissolve quickly when dissolved in water, can be easily disinfected, and can be disposed of in sewage. Is desired.

The water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol fiber used in the present invention is spun from a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol resin. Such a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is usually produced by saponifying polyvinyl acetate obtained by polymerizing vinyl acetate. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a small amount of unsaturated carboxylic acid may be used. (Including salts, esters, amides, nitriles, etc.), olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonates, and the like, may contain components copolymerizable with vinyl acetate. Since it is preferable that the completed water-soluble nonwoven fabric molded article has a certain degree of water resistance,
Dissolves in warm water of 0 ° C or more, for example, a saponification degree of 80 to 100
A water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (including a modified polyvinyl alcohol) having a mole% of 100 to 5500 in average degree of polymerization is preferable. In spinning, there is no particular limitation even if it is an aqueous system, a solvent system, or a mixed solvent system thereof. Further, a plasticizer such as glycerin or diglycerin may be added during spinning.

As a method of impregnating a water-soluble resin into a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol-based nonwoven fabric using such fibers, a resin solution obtained by dissolving the above water-soluble resin in a solvent such as water, a solvent, or a mixed solvent thereof is used. It can be impregnated by attaching a nonwoven fabric, or when the water-soluble resin itself has hot-melt adhesiveness, it can be impregnated by attaching the water-soluble resin to a molten hot-melt liquid.

The method for producing the water-soluble nonwoven fabric molding of the present invention will be described. A mold is required for molding the water-soluble nonwoven fabric molded article, and any mold such as a mold, a wooden mold, and a resin mold may be used. There are two methods for molding a water-soluble nonwoven fabric molding using these molds. One is a molding method in which a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol-based nonwoven fabric is placed along a mold, impregnated with a water-soluble resin, and then pressed down on the mold while drying the water-soluble resin with heat, hot air, etc. One method is for water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol-based nonwoven fabric,
A vacuum molding method or a compression molding method in which at least one or more sheets are impregnated with a water-soluble resin by the above method and then molded along a mold.

Industrially, the latter method is efficient and profitable. When two or more nonwoven fabrics are used, it is practical to design so that the water-soluble resin layer is interposed between the nonwoven fabrics. The thickness of such a water-soluble nonwoven molded product is 0.04 mm to 3 mm.
When the thickness is less than 0.04 mm, the strength is insufficient, which is inconvenient. When the thickness is more than 3 mm, it takes too much time to dissolve in water, or the drawability during molding becomes poor. It is inconvenient. The total thickness of the water-soluble resin layer is suitably from 0.01 to 3.0 mm, preferably from 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

After the above process, an excess portion is removed by die-cutting or cutting to form a water-soluble nonwoven molded product. It is preferable that the completed water-soluble nonwoven molded product has a certain degree of water resistance. A water repellent is applied to the surface of the formed water-soluble nonwoven fabric, and it is preferable to add a fluorine-based water repellent when the water-soluble resin is formed into a film. The fluorine-based water repellent migrates to the surface of the water-soluble nonwoven fabric molding to increase water resistance, and can withstand use without swelling even when water droplets, body fluids, etc. adhere. Although a method of first treating the water-soluble nonwoven fabric with a water-repellent agent is possible and practical, the moldability is slightly reduced as compared with the above method.
