As for Example 2-6, the triglyceride used in Example 1-4 was used. For Example 2-7, the triglyceride used in Example 1-5 was used. For Examples 2-8, soybean extremely hydrogenated oil was used as the triglyceride. Except for these, the SMS nonwoven fabric was produced in the same manner as in Example 2-1.
- Example 2-1 Homo PP and random PP were used as the polyolefin resin. No triglycerides were used. The ratios of homo-PP and random PP are as shown in Table 3. Other than that, the SMS nonwoven fabric was produced in the same manner as in Example 2-1.
- the SMS nonwoven fabric obtained in each example has an enhanced barrier property against a liquid having a low surface tension by adding a small amount of triglyceride.
- homo-PP can be obtained by using a combination of homo-PP and random PP as the polyolefin resin constituting the melt-blown nonwoven fabric. It can be seen that the barrier property against a liquid having a low surface tension is enhanced as compared with the case of using it alone.
- a triglyceride having a group content of 20% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less and a group derived from a fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms of 50% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less By blending a triglyceride having a group content of 20% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less and a group derived from a fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms of 50% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less, the barrier property against a liquid having a low surface tension is extremely enhanced. I understand.
- a nonwoven fabric having a higher barrier property against a liquid than before is provided.

一方、不織布の全質量に対するメルトブローン層の質量比率は5質量%以上 50質量%以下であることが、液体に対するバリア性の向上の点から好ましい。この利点を一層顕著なものとする観点から、不織布の全質量に対するメルトブローン層の質量比率は10質量%以上50質量%以下であることが更に好ましく、15質量%以上50質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。

ランダムプロピレンコポリマーにおけるエチレンの割合は、不織布の液体に対するバリア性を高くする観点から、2質量%以上70質量%以下であることが好ましく、4質量%以上60質量%以下であることが更に好ましく、6質量%以上50質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。
これらのポリオレフィン樹脂のうち、繊維形成能の高さや、得られる不織布の液体に対するバリア性の高さの観点から、ポリプロピレン、及びプロピレンを共重合成分として含むポリオレフィンを用いることが好ましい。
また、ポリオレフィン樹脂は、ランダムプロピレンコポリマー又は低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンと、低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレン以外のホモポリプロピレンとのブレンド物であることも好ましい(以下、特に断らない限り、低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレン以外のホモポリプロピレンのことを単に「ホモポリプロピレン」という。)。特に、不織布の液体に対するバリア性の高さの観点から、ポリオレフィン樹脂は、ランダムプロピレンコポリマーと、ホモポリプロピレンとのブレンド物であることが好ましい。
ランダムプロピレンコポリマー又は低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンの割合は、本発明の不織布を構成する繊維(本発明の不織布が、後述するとおりメルトブローン不織布を有する場合には、該メルトブローン不織布を構成する繊維)に対して5質量%以上であることが、不織布の液体に対するバリア性を一層高くする観点から好ましく、バリア性を更に一層高くする観点から更に好ましくは7質量%以上、一層好ましくは9質量%以上、更に一層好ましくは15質量%以上である。

本発明の不織布を構成する繊維は、その構成樹脂として、上述したポリオレフィン樹脂のみを含んでいてもよく、あるいはポリオレフィン樹脂に加えて他の熱可塑性樹脂を含んでいてもよい。後者の場合、繊維の構成樹脂として、上述したポリオレフィン樹脂を50質量%以上含むことが好ましい。
トリグリセリドは、1種のみを用いてもよく、あるいは複数種のトリグリセリドの混合物として用いてもよい。
本発明の不織布を構成する繊維には、グリセリドとしてトリグリセリドのみが含まれていてもよく、あるいは本発明の所期の効果が奏される範囲においてトリグリセリドに加えてモノグリセリド及び/又はジグリセリドが含まれていてもよい。尤も、本発明の不織布の液体に対するバリア性を高くする観点からは、グリセリドとしてトリグリセリドのみを用いることが好ましい。
(a)炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリドと、炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリドとの混合物を含むトリグリセリド。
(b)炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基及び炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリドを含むトリグリセリド。
なお、トリグリセリドP及びトリグリセリドPPにおける残りの脂肪酸残基の種類に特に制限はなく、例えば炭素数12以上24以下の飽和脂肪酸又は不飽和脂肪酸の残基であり得る。
トリグリセリド16は、トリグリセリドP、トリグリセリドPP及びトリグリセリドPPPから選択される2種以上の組み合わせであってもよい。例えばトリグリセリド16は、トリグリセリドPとトリグリセリドPPとの組み合わせ、トリグリセリドPとトリグリセリドPPPとの組み合わせ、トリグリセリドPPとトリグリセリドPPPとの組み合わせ、あるいはトリグリセリドPと、トリグリセリドPPとトリグリセリドPPPとの組み合わせであり得る。

トリグリセリド18は、トリグリセリドS、トリグリセリドSS及びトリグリセリドSSSから選択される2種以上の組み合わせであってもよい。例えばトリグリセリド18は、トリグリセリドSとトリグリセリドSSとの組み合わせ、トリグリセリドSとトリグリセリドSSSとの組み合わせ、トリグリセリドSSとトリグリセリドSSSとの組み合わせ、あるいはトリグリセリドSと、トリグリセリドSSとトリグリセリドSSSとの組み合わせであり得る。
また前記割合は、55質量%未満であることが、不織布の液体に対するバリア性を一層高くする観点から好ましく、バリア性を更に一層高くする観点から更に好ましくは50質量%以下、一層好ましくは45質量%以下である。

トリグリセリドの良溶媒、例えばトルエンを用いて不織布を構成する繊維の表面に存在するトリグリセリドを抽出する。
抽出されたトリグリセリドにおけるエステル結合をアルカリで加水分解させ、メチルエステル化した脂肪酸をガスクロマトグラフィーで定量分析する。

なお本発明においては繊維にトリグリセリドを含有させる割合が少なくても、液体に対する不織布のバリア性を高くできるので、トリグリセリドがブリードアウトすることによる弊害は生じにくい。
パルスNMRの緩和時間を上述した範囲に設定するには、例えばランダムプロピレンコポリマーや低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンをブレンドして使用すればよい。
結晶化度、及びパルスNMRの緩和時間は、後述する実施例に記載の方法で測定される。
繊維は細いほど液体に対するバリア性が高くなるが、不織布の製造が困難になったり、不織布の製造効率が低下したりする場合があることから、現実的な下限値は0.1μm以上であることが好ましく、0.3μm以上であることが更に好ましく、0.5μm以上であることが一層好ましい。
繊維の太さは、不織布から小片サンプルを採取し、走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて、無作為に選出した70本の繊維を対象として繊維径を直接測定した平均値(有効数字2桁)とする。
目付はその値が大きいほど液体に対するバリア性が高くなるが、風合いが低下したり、あるいは経済性が低下したりする場合があることから、現実的な上限値は50g/m2以下であることが好ましく、35g/m2以下であることが更に好ましく、20g/m2以下であることが一層好ましい。
不織布の目付は、不織布の重量を不織布の面積で除した値である。少なくとも1cm2以上の面積を持つサンプルを用いて目付を算出することが好ましく、不織布の地合いも考慮して、1種類のサンプルを3個以上測定し、平均値をそのサンプルの目付とすることがより好ましい。
特に本発明の不織布は、メルトブローン層とスパンボンド層とを有し、液体に対するバリア性を高める観点、特に、加圧状態での液体の滲み出しが効果的に抑制される観点から、該メルトブローン層が、ランダムプロピレンコポリマー又は低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンと、ホモポリプロピレンと、上述のトリグリセリドとを含む繊維から構成されることが好ましい。一方、該スパンボンド層はバリア性に寄与する程度が低いことから、その構成繊維が上述のトリグリセリドを含むことを要せず、該スパンボンド層は該トリグリセリドを含まない繊維から構成されていてもよい。
本発明の不織布が当該繊維及びそれ以外の繊維を含んで構成されている場合には、該不織布の形態がどのようなものであっても、液体に対する不織布のバリア性を高める観点から、特に加圧状態での液体の滲み出し防止性を高める観点から、不織布に占める当該繊維の割合は3質量%以上であることが好ましく、5質量%以上であることが更に好ましく、10質量%以上であることが一層好ましく、また50質量%以下であることが好ましく、45質量%以下であることが更に好ましく、40質量%以下であることが一層好ましい。
本発明の不織布を吸収性物品用の防漏シートとして用いる場合には、該不織布そのものを防漏シートとして用いてもよく、あるいは該不織布を他のシート材料と組み合わせて用いてもよい。
ある実施形態では、本発明の不織布を、種々の流体を対象としたろ過媒体、又はその一部として用いてもよい。また本発明の不織布を、マスクなどのフィルタとして用いてもよい。
(a)炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリドと、炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリドとの混合物。
(b)炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基及び炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基を一分子内に少なくとも含むトリグリセリド。
詳細には、本発明の樹脂内添用撥水剤組成物が内添された樹脂から構成される繊維やフィルムなどの成形体においては、擦過等で該成形体の表面に存在する撥水剤組成物が脱落した場合でも、該撥水剤組成物が成形体の内部から表面へブリードアウトすることで、所望の撥水性が回復することから、該成形体表面の撥水性を長期間持続させることができる。特に、成形体を構成する樹脂が、ランダムプロピレンコポリマー又は低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンと、ホモポリプロピレンとを含むポリオレフィン樹脂である場合、とりわけランダムプロピレンコポリマーと、ホモポリプロピレンとを含むポリオレフィン樹脂である場合には、前記撥水剤組成物のブリードアウトが一層確実に生じるので、該成形体の撥水性が一層確実に担保される。
また、本発明の撥水剤組成物は、別の実施形態として、雨具、包帯、創傷被覆材、医療用隔離ガウン、手術用ガウン、手術用ドレープ及びカバー、手術着、手術帽、人工皮革、合成皮革、スエード、傘、テント、アウトドアウエアなどを構成する樹脂に内添され、これらに撥水性を付与する目的で用いられる。
特に、本発明の撥水剤組成物は、繊維形成能を有する熱可塑性樹脂からなる繊維用であることが好ましく、とりわけ前記熱可塑性樹脂がポリオレフィン樹脂を含む繊維用であることが好ましい。特に、ポリオレフィン樹脂がランダムプロピレンコポリマー又は低立体規則性ホモポリプロピレンと、ホモポリプロピレンとを含むこと、とりわけランダムプロピレンコポリマーと、ホモポリプロピレンとを含むことが、上述のとおり、該撥水剤組成物のブリードアウトが一層確実に生じるので好ましい。
なお、本発明の撥水剤組成物に含まれるトリグリセリドの詳細については、上述した本発明の不織布に含まれるトリグリセリドと同様であり、該不織布に含まれるトリグリセリドについての説明が適宜適用される。

本実施例では、トリグリセリドを含有する撥水剤組成物の撥水性を、トリグリセリドを含むフィルムを対象として、以下の方法で評価した。その結果を以下の表1に示す。
(1)樹脂の製造
プロピレンのホモポリマー(Lyondelbasel製、HP461Y、以下「ホモPP」という。)と、ランダムプロピレンコポリマー(Exxonmobil製、Vistamaxx8880、以下「ランダムPP」という。)と、トリグリセリドの質量比が63/27/10となるようにこれらを計量し、ラボプラストミル(東洋精機製)に投入し、180℃、30rpmで10分間混練した。混練後、樹脂塊を回収した。なお、ランダムPPにおけるエチレンの割合は8%であった。
使用したトリグリセリドは、パルミチン酸トリグリセリドと、ステアリン酸トリグリセリドとの混合物であった。混合比は以下の表1に示すとおりとした。
(2)フィルムの製造
ラボプレス(東洋精機製)にて、樹脂塊を180℃、100kgfで1分間プレスした後、更に常温、100kgfで冷却プレスを1分間行い、フィルムを作製した。0.5mmのスペーサーを入れることで、フィルム厚みを0.5mmに調整した。
(3)撥水性の評価
作製したフィルムをトルエン溶液50mLに浸した後、フィルム表面をティッシュペーパーで拭き取り、洗浄した。洗浄後のフィルムを電気乾燥機に入れ、40℃で7日間保管した。保管後、フィルム表面の接触角を接触角計(Drop Master500、協和界面科学製)を用いて測定した。

パルミチン酸トリグリセリドと、ステアリン酸トリグリセリドとを、表1に示す混合比で用いた。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。
トリグリセリドとしてパーム極度硬化油(植田製油株式会社製)を使用した。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。このトリグリセリドは複数のトリグリセリドの混合物であり、このトリグリセリドにおける脂肪酸に由来する基の炭素数分布は表1に示すとおりであった。
トリグリセリドとしてトリステアリン酸グリセリル テクニカルグレード(シグマアルドリッチ製)を使用した。このトリグリセリドにおける炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基、及び、炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基の割合は、表1に示すとおりであった。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。
トリグリセリドとしてハイエルシン菜種硬化油(横関油脂株式会社製)を使用した。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。このトリグリセリドは複数のトリグリセリドの混合物であり、このトリグリセリドにおける脂肪酸に由来する基の炭素数分布は表1に示すとおりであった。
トリグリセリドとしてパルミチン酸トリグリセリドを使用した。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。
トリグリセリドとしてステアリン酸トリグリセリドを使用した。それ以外は実施例1-1と同様にしてフィルムを製造し、その撥水性を評価した。
(1)マスターバッチの製造
ホモPPと、トリグリセリドとの質量比が90/10となるようにこれらを計量し、二軸押出機(東洋精機製)に投入して混練し、マスターバッチを作製した。
使用したトリグリセリドは、実施例1-3で用いたものと同様とした。
(2)メルトブローン不織布の製造
得られたマスターバッチを原料に、メルトブローン不織布を製造した。
得られたメルトブローン不織布の目付及び構成繊維の繊維径は表2に示すとおりであった。
メルトブローン不織布の目付は、該不織布から無作為に採取した16cm×16cmの測定片10枚を対象として測定された質量の平均値を0.0256で除した値とした。
このようにして得られたメルトブローン不織布の各面に、表2に示すスパンボンド不織布を重ね合わせ、SMS不織布を得た。
ポリオレフィン樹脂としてホモPP及びランダムPPを用いた。ホモPPと、ランダムPPと、トリグリセリドとの割合は表2及び表3に示すとおりとした。
実施例2-6についてはトリグリセリドとして実施例1-4で使用したものを用いた。
実施例2-7についてはトリグリセリドとして実施例1-5で使用したものを用いた。
実施例2-8についてはトリグリセリドとして大豆極度硬化油を用いた。
これら以外は実施例2-1と同様にしてSMS不織布を製造した。
ポリオレフィン樹脂としてホモPP及びランダムPPを用いた。トリグリセリドは用いなかった。ホモPPと、ランダムPPとの割合は表3に示すとおりとした。それ以外は実施例2-1と同様にしてSMS不織布を製造した。
実施例2-1、2-4、2-6及び2-7並びに比較例2-1で得られたSMS不織布のメルトブローン層について、パルスNMRの緩和時間を以下の方法で測定した。その結果を以下の表2に示す。
・使用装置:Brukar製 the minispec mq20
・測定法:Solid-echo法
・90°パルス幅:2.1マイクロ秒
・繰り返し時間:1秒
・積算回数32回
・測定温度:30℃
・解析方法:非線形最小二乗法
試料を試料管に充填し、1HのT2緩和時間を測定した。試料を測定して得られた1つの緩和時間ピークに対して、緩和時間が異なる成分を波形分離して、緩和時間が短い成分(S)と長い成分(L)の2成分に分けて検出し、それぞれの成分のプロトン割合H(S)[%]、H(L)[%]及び、緩和時間T2(S)、T2(L)を求めた。測定は4回繰り返し、それらの平均値を測定結果とした。測定した2成分のプロトン割合及び緩和時間を用いて、以下の式により、各試料の緩和時間とした。
緩和時間[マイクロ秒]={<H(S)÷100>×T2(S)}+{<H(L)÷100>×T2(L)}
実施例及び比較例で得られたSMS不織布について、液の染み出しの程度を以下の方法で評価した。その結果を以下の表2及び表3に示す。
ろ紙(アドバンテック東洋株式会社製、No.2、直径70mm)の上に、SMS不織布を8cm×8cmに裁断したものを載置した。載置した不織布の上に、乾式パルプシート(ライオン株式会社製、リードヘルシークッキングペーパーダブル(商品名)、目付40g/m2)を8cm×8cmに裁断したものを載置した。
乾式パルプシートの中央部に、1gのぬれ張力試験液(25℃における表面張力:35.0mN/m)をスポイトによって注入した。注入後、直径60mmのアクリルプレートを重ね、その上に錘を載置して7kPaで1時間加圧した。
1時間経過後、錘を取り除き、ろ紙へ染み出た液の面積を画像解析装置によって測定した。2回測定を行い、ろ紙へ染み出た液の面積の合計を各サンプルの染み出し面積とした。
特に、実施例2-1と実施例2-2~2-5との対比から明らかなとおり、メルトブローン不織布を構成するポリオレフィン樹脂として、ホモPPとランダムPPとの組み合わせを用いることで、ホモPPを単独で用いた場合に比べて、表面張力が低い液体に対するバリア性が高まることが分かる。特に、メルトブローン不織布を構成する繊維に対してランダムPPの質量比を15質量%以上30質量%以下配合することで、表面張力が低い液体に対するバリア性が極めて高まることが分かる。
更に、実施例2-9~実施例2-12から明らかなとおり、メルトブローン不織布を構成する繊維にトリグリセリドを8質量%以上18質量%以下配合することで、表面張力が低い液体に対するバリア性が高まることが分かる。特に、トリグリセリドを9質量%以上14質量%以下配合することで、表面張力が低い液体に対するバリア性が極めて高まることが分かる。
また、実施例2-1及び2-4に示す結果から、トリグリセリドの種類が同じ場合でも、繊維の緩和時間が長くなることで不織布のバリア性が高まることが分かる。
また、実施例2-4と実施例2-6~2-8との対比から、トリグリセリドに含まれる脂肪酸に由来する基の総量を基準として、炭素原子数16の脂肪酸に由来する基の割合が20質量%以上50質量%以下、炭素原子数18の脂肪酸に由来する基の割合が50質量%以上70質量%以下のトリグリセリドを配合することで、表面張力が低い液体に対するバリア性が極めて高まることが分かる。
