If these other fibers are fibers that do not participate in thermal bonding, the number of adhesion points between the fibers in the nonwoven fabric obtained from the web can be reduced, thereby further imparting flexibility to the resulting nonwoven fabric. Is possible.

- the manufacturing method for obtaining this structure is not particularly limited, it can be suitably obtained by a method such as hot air bonding which does not depend on thermocompression bonding with a heated embossing roll.
- the non-woven fabric obtained in the present invention can be used satisfactorily for passing a relatively viscous liquid such as menstrual blood or loose stool.
- a relatively viscous liquid such as menstrual blood or loose stool.
- the non-woven fabric heat-bonded with a circulating hot-air heat treatment machine or the like becomes a bulky non-woven fabric, but the whole non-woven fabric is heat-bonded at the intersection of the fibers and fixed three-dimensionally, The fiber cannot move freely.
- the liquid will pass between the fibers laid in a three-dimensional network, and the heat-adhesive fibers will flow the liquid. Since it inhibits, it becomes difficult to let a liquid with especially high viscosity pass.
- the nonwoven fabric obtained by thermocompression bonding with a heating roll such as an embossing roll has a thin nonwoven fabric as a whole.
- the bonded portion by thermocompression does not allow liquid to pass through because the fibers are flattened and formed into a film.
- the entire heat-adhesive fiber is heated in the process of passing through the heating roll and forms a slightly bonded state, so that the fiber cannot move freely. As mentioned above, it becomes a factor that inhibits the flow of liquid.
- the nonwoven fabric at a position corresponding to the concave portions sandwiched between the two convex portions is pushed down on both sides, so that its thickness is also reduced.
- the thickness of the obtained nonwoven fabric is generally thin and lacks water retention as a whole, and the liquid once absorbed is easy to return (the liquid return is large).
- the nonwoven fabric of the present invention there are a heat-bonded region in which the intersections of the fibers are thermally bonded, and a non-heat-bonded region in which the fibers are not thermally bonded and can move freely only by the entanglement of the fibers. Because of the mixture, a part of the highly viscous liquid passes while avoiding the heat-adhesive fibers spread in a three-dimensional network, but a part of the non-heat-adhesive region, that is, the heat-adhesive fibers are free. You will pass through an area where you can move quickly.
- thermoadhesive fiber In this non-thermoadhesive region, the thermoadhesive fiber can move freely, and does not impede the liquid passage, so that the liquid permeability of a particularly viscous liquid is excellent. Furthermore, when the liquid passes through the non-thermoadhesive region, the heat-adhesive fiber is wetted with the liquid and is bent (sagging), and the bulk in the thickness direction of the nonwoven fabric is reduced. This not only shortens the liquid passing time but also serves to prevent the liquid that has once passed through from returning. This is because, in the liquid reverse return, the portion that becomes the thermal bonding region maintains the bulk by the fiber adhesion, and thus the liquid return is inhibited by the bulk (empty wall). Therefore, the absorption performance can be adjusted by adjusting the range of the thermal bonding region and the non-thermal bonding region within the range shown in this specification according to the field to be used.
- the thickness of the non-thermally bonded region is preferably thinner than the thickness of the thermally bonded region in the thickness direction of the nonwoven fabric from the above points.
- the nonwoven fabric of the present invention may be a single layer or a plurality of layers. When setting it as a some layer, you may laminate
- the present invention is obtained by using a heat-bondable fiber, and a non-heat-bonded region in which fiber intersections are not thermally bonded and a heat-bonded region in which fiber intersections are heat-bonded alternately on the surface of the nonwoven fabric. And the non-thermally bonded regions are dispersed in a dotted manner, or are continuously present in a linear shape, and the intersections are thermally bonded without the flattening of the fibers in the thermally bonded regions.
- the present invention also relates to a product obtained using a non-woven fabric.
- Examples of products obtained using the nonwoven fabric of the present invention include products as sanitary materials such as disposable paper diapers, sanitary products, and absorbent sheets. Furthermore, it can be suitably used for a disposable wiper or the like.

上記繊維を原料として、大和機工製ミニチュアカード機により、目付25g/m2のウェブを作製した。
熱風循環式熱処理機を熱風温度130℃、風速0.5m/s、コンベアー速度8.5m/minの加工条件で、上記方法で作製したウェブ上にマスキングコンベアーを載せた後、熱処理を行った。下記a、bのマスキングコンベアーを使用した。また、同条件でパンチングプレートcを載せ熱処理を行なった。
a.一つの円形状のマスクの直径が5mmで厚みが2mmであり、当該マスクが5mmのピッチで千鳥状に配列した図1の態様のマスキングコンベアー
b.一つの直線状のマスクの幅が2mmで厚みが2mmであり、当該マスクが1mmのピッチでMD方向に伸びるように配列した図2の態様のマスキングコンベアー
c.一つの円形状の穴の直径が3mmであり、5mmのピッチで千鳥状に配列した図3の態様のパンチングプレート
熱接着領域と非熱接着領域の両方を通るように表面から垂直に不織布を切断し、不織布の断面をキーエンス社製 マイクロスコープ(VHX-600)によって観察した。
柔軟性は、サンプル幅50mm(JISは20mm)とした以外は、JIS L1096 剛軟度-A法(45℃カンチレバー法)に準じて測定した。測定した剛軟度の数値が小さいほど、ドレープ性が高く、柔軟な不織布であると評価した。評価を、MD、CDの方向共に非常に柔軟であるか、いずれか方向に非常に柔軟であるものを◎、柔軟であるものを○、接着点が多いために柔軟性に劣っているものを×とした。
不織布強度は、サンプル幅50mm、サンプル長150mmのサンプルを10名のモニターが、引っ張り、引き裂きを行い、非常に強度があると判断したものを◎、強度があると判断したものを○、接着点が少なく強度がないと判断したものを×とした。
繊維Aを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用いた。ウェブ上に、マスクを施した面側がウェブ側となるようにマスキングコンベアーaを置き、熱風循環熱処理機によって不織布を製造した。得られた不織布のマスキングした部分(これはマスクで被覆した部分ともいう。)は、熱接着されておらず、非熱接着領域が形成されていた。それ以外の熱風が貫通した部分は、繊維同士の交点で繊維同士が熱接着し、熱接着領域が形成されていた。不織布断面観察によって、非熱接着領域の厚みは、熱接着領域の厚みより薄いことを確認した(それぞれ0.7mmと、1.8mmであった)。不織布は、非熱接着領域が不織布全体に均等に点在しているため、MD、CDの方向共に非常に柔軟であった。
繊維Bを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用いた。ウェブ上に、マスクを施した面側がウェブ側となるようにマスキングコンベアーbを置き、熱風循環熱処理機によって不織布を得た。得られた不織布のマスキングした部分は、熱接着されておらず、非熱接着領域が形成されていた。それ以外の熱風が貫通した部分は、繊維同士の交点で繊維同士が熱接着し、熱接着領域が形成されていた。非熱接着領域の厚みは、熱接着領域の厚みより薄いことを確認した(それぞれ0.7mmと、1.4mmであった)。不織布は、非熱接着領域がMDに向かい直進しているため、特にCDにおいて非常に柔軟であった。
繊維Aを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用いた。ウェブ上に、マスキングコンベアーを使用せずに、熱風循環熱処理機によって不織布を製造した。得られた不織布は、ウェブ全体に熱風が貫通したことにより繊維同士の交点で熱接着し、不織布の厚みはすべて均一であった(1.3mmであった)。不織布は、熱接着領域のみで構成されているため、柔軟性に劣っていた。
繊維Bを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用いた。ウェブ上に、マスキングコンベアーを使用せずに、熱風循環熱処理機によって不織布を製造した。得られた不織布は、ウェブ全体に熱風が貫通したことにより繊維同士の交点で熱接着し、不織布の厚みはすべて均一であった。不織布は、熱接着領域のみで構成され、且つ、熱風により繊維Bが螺旋綣縮を発生したことによって、非常に嵩が高くなり柔軟性に劣っていた。
繊維Aを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用い、120℃に加熱されたエンボス面積率25%のエンボスロールとフラットロールにて加熱圧着し、不織布を製造した。エンボス圧着部は繊維同士の熱圧着によりフィルム化され、エンボス点間は、繊維形状を残しているものの、上下のロール熱により軽い接着状態であった。
繊維Aを用い、上記ウェブ作製の方法で得た目付25g/m2のウェブを用い、ウェブ上にパンチングプレートcを置き、熱風循環熱処理機によって不織布を得た。得られた不織布のパンチング部分は、熱風が貫通し、繊維同士の交点で繊維同士が熱接着し、熱接着領域が形成されていた。その他の部分は非熱接着領域となり、厚みは熱接着領域の厚みより薄いことを確認した(それぞれ1.2mmと、0.7mmであった)。不織布は、非熱接着領域がMDに向かい直進しているため、特にCDにおいて非常に柔軟であったが強度が非常に弱かった。
