【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、ふとん、ベッドパッド、ぬいぐるみ、座席シート、クッション、座ぶとん等に好適なセルロース繊維系詰綿体に関するものであり、更に詳しくは弾力性、乾燥性、形状安定性に優れた詰綿体及びその製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、セルロース系繊維は、吸湿性、吸汗性に優れるため、詰め物用の詰綿体として古くから広く用いられてきた。しかしながら、圧縮時の回復性が不十分で、特に人間の寝具に使う場合、へたりが大きく改善が望まれていた。この問題を改善する手段は大変難しい為、圧縮時の回復性が良い合成繊維と混用して使用されてきた。しかしながら、吸湿性が低い合成繊維の混用は就寝時に多くの汗を出す人間の寝具には問題があった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は吸湿性、吸汗性に優れ且つ圧縮時の回復性、弾力性、乾燥性、形状安定性に優れたセルロース繊維系詰綿体及びその製造方法を提供しようとするものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記問題を解決するために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、特定量のホルマリンで架橋されたセルロース繊維を含有せしめると吸湿性に優れ、かつ乾燥性、回復性に優れた詰綿体を提供できることを見出し、本発明に到達したものである。即ち本発明は、セルロース繊維系詰綿体を加熱された空気または水蒸気に曝して詰綿体を嵩高い状態にした後、嵩高い状態で酸性化合物共存下でガス状または霧状のホルムアルデヒドで処理するセルロース繊維系詰綿体の製造方法である。さらにまた、前記のセルロース繊維系詰綿体の製造方法を用いてなり、セルロース繊維1g当りの結合ホルマリン量が0.002〜0.012gのセルロース繊維を含み、かつ下記(1) 及び(2) の要件を満足するセルロース繊維系詰綿体。
(1) 湿時(水分率20%)における圧縮回復率(RW )(JIS L 1097法による)と絶乾後における圧縮回復率(RD )との比RW /RD が0.4以上である。
(2) 水分率80%以上に濡らした後の20℃、65%RH環境下における乾燥時において、水分率30%から水分率15%までの乾燥速度(%/分)が未加工(結合ホルマリン量が0g/g)の場合の1.2倍以上である。
【0005】
本発明でいう詰綿体とは、ふとん、ベッドパッド、ぬいぐるみ、座席シート、クッション、座ぶとん等の詰物用の綿(繊維が集合したもの)を意味する。その形状はウェブ状、ニードルパンチした不織布状等のシート状、トウ状、球状などどんな形状の綿であってもよいが、シート状物であるのが、積層して厚みの調整が容易であること、他の素材との積層体を製造し易いこと、ホルマリン処理がし易いなどの点から、シート状物が好ましい。
【0006】
本発明でいうセルロース繊維とは、木綿、麻、パルプ等の天然セルロース繊維、レーヨン、ポリノジック等の再生セルロース系繊維を意味するが、本発明における詰綿体はセルロース繊維単独である必要はなく、他の繊維、例えばポリエステル、ナイロン、アクリル、ポリプロピレン等の合成繊維、羊毛、羽毛等の獣毛繊維等と混合あるいは積層して使用することができる。
【0007】
セルロース繊維の混用率は50重量%以上が吸湿性の点で好ましい。積層詰綿体の例として、最外層に本発明のセルロース繊維、中間層にポリエステル繊維等の合成繊維の中間層を有する敷ぶとんなどを挙げることができる。
【0008】
本発明におけるセルロース繊維のホルマリンの結合量は、セルロース繊維1g当り0.002〜0.012gであり、好ましくは、0.003〜0.010gである。結合ホルマリン量が0.002未満では本発明の圧縮回復性、乾燥性の効果が発揮されず、0.012gを越えるとセルロース繊維の繊維物性の低下が著しく、詰綿体としての特性が発揮されない。
【0009】
特に、セルロース繊維が木綿の場合、ホルマリン結合量が本発明の範囲内では、木綿が本来有する自然の巻縮がホルマリンの結合により固定され、弾発性も向上するので高吸湿状態においても木綿の形態が保持され易く、圧縮後の回復性に優れる。
【0010】
本発明のセルロース繊維系詰綿体は、湿時における圧縮回復性が高いことが必要であり、JIS L 1097法に準拠して求めた圧縮回復率において、湿時(水分率20%)における圧縮回復率(RW )と絶乾した後における圧縮回復率(RD )との比RW /RD が0.4以上であることが必要である。
【0011】
なお圧縮回復率とは以下に定義されるものである。
圧縮回復率=(C−B)/(A−B)×100(%)
A:初荷重0.5g/cm2 の時の厚さ(mm)
B:大荷重10g/cm2 を30分間かけた時の厚さ(mm)
C:大荷重10g/cm2 を30分間かけ、除重後20分後の厚さ(mm)
【0012】
RW /RD が0.4未満では、セルロース繊維のヘタリが大きく、乾燥性が低く、詰綿体としての特性が劣る。
【0013】
また、水分率80%以上に濡らした後に20℃、65%RH環境下で放置乾燥する際に、水分率30%から水分率15%までの乾燥速度(%/分)が未加工(結合ホルマリン量が0g/g)の場合の1.2倍以上であることが必要である。
【0014】
未加工に比べて、ホルマリン加工されたセルロース繊維の乾燥速度(%/分)が1.2倍未満では、湿時の圧縮回復性が劣る。3.0倍を越えるまでに乾燥速度が速い場合は、吸湿性が低下する傾向があるので上限は3.0倍が好ましい。
【0015】
本発明における特定の結合ホルマリン量のセルロース繊維は、基本的には、セルロース繊維を含有する詰綿体に、酸性化合物を触媒としてホルムアルデヒドを気相で反応させる方式が採用される。
ホルムアルデヒドと結合する前のセルロース繊維を含有する詰綿体が、予め加熱された空気または水蒸気に曝した後、気相反応装置内で酸性化合物の共存下、ガス状または霧状のホルムアルデヒドでセルロース繊維中のセルロース分子を架橋させることにより本発明の詰綿体が効率的に製造することができる。
【0016】
ホルムアルデヒドを作用させる前に、セルロース繊維を含有する詰綿体を加熱された空気または水蒸気に曝すのは、詰綿体をできるだけ嵩高い状態にするためであり、空気の温度は40〜180℃、水蒸気の温度は100〜140℃、曝す時間は5秒〜60分が好ましい。嵩高い状態で、その後のホルムアルデヒドによりセルロース繊維の架橋がなされてセルロース繊維の形状が固定されるため、吸湿性が高いにもかかわらず、弾発性、圧縮回復性、乾燥性等に優れた詰綿体が得られる。
本発明の詰綿体の嵩密度は30〜150g/ccがホルムアルデヒドの作用のさせ易さ、取扱い性等の点から好ましい。
【0017】
ホルムアルデヒドの気相状態は、気相反応装置内に、パラホルムアルデヒドやホルマリン水溶液を加熱して発生したホルムアルデヒドガスを導入することやホルマリン水溶液を反応装置内に霧状に噴霧して加熱する方法などによって得ることができる。
【0018】
触媒はSO2 ガスやMgCl2 、Zn(BF4 )2 、NH4 Cl、脂肪族アミンの塩酸塩などの潜在性酸性触媒を使用することができる。
気相反応条件は、通常40〜200℃で1〜120分の条件が採用される。
【0019】
本発明の詰綿体はセルロース繊維単独又はセルロース繊維を主体とするが、ホルムアルデヒド処理、さらには、ホルムアルデヒド処理前あるいはホルムアルデヒド処理後に加熱処理やスチーム処理が実施されるため、天然繊維は必然的に殺菌処理、防菌処理が施された状態になっており、衛生性に優れた詰綿体を提供することができる。
ホルムアルデヒド処理後の詰綿体中の残存フリーホルマリン量は75ppm以下であり、ホルムアルデヒド処理後の後スチーム処理により容易に残存量を低減することができる。
【0020】
【実施例】
以下、実施例により本発明を説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
<測定方法>
結合ホルマリン量:詰綿約2gを沸水中で15分間処理し、水洗、絶乾精秤後、水蒸気蒸留法により20%硫酸中で分解し、亜硫酸水素ナトリウム水溶液中に生成ホルマリンを回収し、よう素滴定法で過剰亜硫酸水素ナトリウムを酸化した後、アルカリで付加物を分解し、ホルマリンと付加した亜硫酸水素ナトリウムの量を求め、詰綿重量あたりのホルマリンを重量%で示した。
【0021】
実施例1
<詰綿体の製造>
スーピマ木綿を混打綿機に掛け、木綿シートのロールを作成した。次いで針密度6本/cm2 のニードルパンチ機で、60ストローク/分で20m/分のスピードで表裏各1回のパンチングを行った。こうして平均シート厚さ20mm、重さ480g/m2 の木綿シートを作成した(嵩高度41.6g/cc)。
【0022】
この木綿シート2.4kgを気相反応処理槽中に、互い面が接することのない状態で吊り下げた。次いで37%ホルマリン水溶液4.0lを水蒸気と先に霧状に均一に注入し、次いで二酸化硫黄ガス250gを圧入した。
その後、気相反応槽の温度を128℃まで昇温し、この温度で5分間保った。しかるのちに、水蒸気により、脱ホルマリン処理を施した。こうして得られた木綿シートの木綿繊維中には、0.40%(繊維重量当りの重量%)の結合ホルマリンが存在していた。
上記処理した木綿シート(本処理品と称す)の評価結果を、ニードルパンチ迄行った木綿シート(未処理品と称す)と比較して以下に示す。
【0023】
<評価1> 乾・湿時圧縮回復率(%)
本処理品及び未処理品を70cm×50cmのサイズの長方体を各2ケ切り出した。夫々の重量は本処理品で168グラム、未処理品で160グラムであった(いずれも絶乾重量)。切り出した長方体各1ケに、その重量の20%の水を万遍なく付与し、ビニール製袋に入れて20℃の恒温室で一昼夜放置した。一方、別の各1ケは絶乾後、シリカゲルデシケーター中で20℃で一昼夜放置した。こうして作成した試料をJIS L 1097法(1982)に準拠して圧縮回復率を測定した。尚、測定に当っては、各長方体を2つ折りにして測定した。結果を表1に示した。
【0024】
【表1】
表1の結果によると本処理品では水付与後の圧縮回復率が、絶乾時のそれの57%あるのに対して、未処理品では、37%と低い。尚、測定に当っての初荷重(A)は0.5g/cm2 、大荷重(B)は10g/cm2 とし、大荷重負荷時間は30分、大荷重除去後の厚さ測定は20分後に行った。
【0025】
<評価2> 乾燥速度(%/分)
本処理品及び未処理品を夫々各3ケ取り、蒸留水に充分浸漬後、マングルで水分率80%(絶乾重量ベース)に絞った。その後、20℃、65%RHの環境下での重量変化を測定した。この結果を利用して、水分率が30%から15%になる時間を夫々の試料について求め、その際の乾燥速度を求めた所、次の通りであった。
【0026】
【表2】
表2の結果によると、本処理品の乾燥速度は未処理品の1.5倍と速い。すなわち就寝時吸収した汗を速く放散する事が分かる。
【0027】
<評価3> フリーホルマリン量
本処理品をJIS L 1041 3.1.2アセチルアセトン法でフリーホルマリン量を測定した所、55ppmであった。
【0028】
実施例2
実施例1においてホルマリン水溶液の量を7.0lにし、二酸化硫黄ガスの量を450gにした以外は実施例1と同様にして、木綿シートを得た。実施例1と同様にして評価した所、木綿繊維中の結合ホルマリン量は0.91%(繊維重量当りの重量%)であり、圧縮回復率(%)のRw は65.0、RD は97.5でRW /RD は0.66であった。乾燥速度(%/分)は1.20であった。また、フリーホルマリン量は30ppmであった。
したがって、本処理品は圧縮回復性及び乾燥速度が早く、敷ぶとん等の中綿として好適なことが分かる。
【0029】
【発明の効果】
本発明の特定量の結合ホルマリンによりセルロース分子が架橋せしめられたセルロース繊維を含有する詰綿体は、詰綿体の形状でセルロース繊維が安定化されているため、高吸湿性を保持しながら、弾発性があり、圧縮回復性、乾燥性に優れ、かつ衛生性にも優れた詰綿体を提供することができる。[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a cellulose fiber-based cotton body suitable for a futon, a bed pad, a stuffed toy, a seat sheet, a cushion, a seat cover, and the like, and more specifically, a cotton body excellent in elasticity, drying property, and shape stability. And a manufacturing method thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, cellulosic fibers have been widely used for a long time as stuffed cotton bodies for filling because of their excellent hygroscopicity and sweat absorption. However, the recoverability at the time of compression is insufficient, and particularly when used for human bedding, drastic improvement has been desired. Since the means for improving this problem is very difficult, it has been used in combination with synthetic fibers that have good recoverability during compression. However, the use of synthetic fibers with low hygroscopicity has been problematic for human bedding that sweats a lot at bedtime.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention intends to provide a cellulose fiber-filled cotton body excellent in hygroscopicity and sweat-absorbing property, and excellent in recoverability upon compression, elasticity, drying property, and shape stability, and a method for producing the same.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a cotton fiber cross-linked with a specific amount of formalin is excellent in moisture absorption and excellent in drying and recoverability. The present inventors have found that a body can be provided and have arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention exposes a cellulose fiber-based wadding body to heated air or water vapor to make the wadding body bulky , and then treats it with gaseous or mist formaldehyde in the presence of an acidic compound in the bulky state. This is a method for producing a cellulose fiber-based cotton body. Furthermore, the method comprises the above-described method for producing a cellulose fiber-filled cotton body , comprising cellulose fibers having a bound formalin amount of 0.002 to 0.012 g per gram of cellulose fibers, and the following (1) and (2) Cellulosic fiber-based cotton body that satisfies the requirements of
(1) The ratio RW / RD of the compression recovery rate (RW) (according to JIS L 1097 method) in the wet state (water content 20%) and the compression recovery rate (RD) after absolutely dry is 0.4 or more.
(2) When dried in an environment of 20 ° C and 65% RH after wetting to a moisture content of 80% or more, the drying rate (% / min) from 30% moisture to 15% moisture content is unprocessed (bonded formalin It is 1.2 times or more when the amount is 0 g / g).
[0005]
The stuffed cotton body as used in the present invention means cotton for filling such as a futon, a bed pad, a stuffed animal, a seat sheet, a cushion, and a seat quilt (a collection of fibers). The shape may be web-like, needle-punched non-woven fabric-like sheet shape, tow-like shape, spherical shape, etc., but it is a sheet-like material that can be laminated and easily adjusted in thickness. In view of the fact that it is easy to produce a laminate with other materials, and easy to perform formalin treatment, a sheet-like material is preferable.
[0006]
Cellulose fiber as used in the present invention means natural cellulosic fibers such as cotton, hemp, pulp, and regenerated cellulosic fibers such as rayon and polynosic, but the stuffed cotton body in the present invention does not need to be cellulose fibers alone, It can be used by mixing or laminating with other fibers, for example, synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic and polypropylene, and animal fibers such as wool and feathers.
[0007]
The mixing ratio of cellulose fibers is preferably 50% by weight or more from the viewpoint of hygroscopicity. As an example of the laminated cotton fabric, there can be cited a quilt having the cellulose fiber of the present invention in the outermost layer and an intermediate layer of synthetic fibers such as polyester fiber in the intermediate layer.
[0008]
The binding amount of formalin in the cellulose fiber in the present invention is 0.002 to 0.012 g, preferably 0.003 to 0.010 g, per 1 g of cellulose fiber. If the amount of bound formalin is less than 0.002, the effects of compression recovery and drying of the present invention are not exhibited, and if it exceeds 0.012 g, the fiber physical properties of the cellulose fibers are remarkably deteriorated, and the characteristics as a stuffed cotton body are not exhibited. .
[0009]
In particular, when the cellulose fiber is cotton, the amount of formalin binding is within the scope of the present invention, and the natural curling inherent to the cotton is fixed by the binding of formalin, and the elasticity is improved, so even in a highly hygroscopic state, the cotton The form is easily maintained, and the recoverability after compression is excellent.
[0010]
The cellulose fiber-filled cotton body of the present invention needs to have high compression recoverability when wet, and the compression recovery rate determined according to the JIS L 1097 method is compression when wet (water content 20%). It is necessary that the ratio R W / R D of the recovery rate (R W ) and the compression recovery rate (R D ) after drying is 0.4 or more.
[0011]
The compression recovery rate is defined below.
Compression recovery rate = (C−B) / (A−B) × 100 (%)
A: Thickness (mm) at initial load of 0.5 g / cm 2
B: Thickness when a large load of 10 g / cm 2 is applied for 30 minutes (mm)
C: Thickness (mm) after a heavy load of 10 g / cm 2 for 30 minutes and 20 minutes after dewetting
[0012]
When R W / RD is less than 0.4, the cellulose fibers are large, the drying property is low, and the properties as a stuffed cotton body are inferior.
[0013]
In addition, when it is left to dry in a 65% RH environment at 20 ° C. after wetting to a moisture content of 80% or more, the drying rate (% / min) from 30% moisture to 15% moisture content is unprocessed (bonded formalin) It is necessary to be 1.2 times or more of the case where the amount is 0 g / g).
[0014]
When the drying rate (% / min) of the formalin-processed cellulose fiber is less than 1.2 times, the compression recovery property at the time of wetness is inferior. When the drying rate is fast before exceeding 3.0 times, the hygroscopicity tends to decrease, so the upper limit is preferably 3.0 times.
[0015]
The cellulose fiber having a specific bound formalin amount in the present invention basically employs a system in which formaldehyde is reacted in the gas phase with an acidic compound as a catalyst on a cotton wool containing cellulose fiber.
After the wadding body containing cellulose fibers before being combined with formaldehyde is exposed to preheated air or water vapor, the cellulose fibers are dissolved in gaseous or mist formaldehyde in the presence of an acidic compound in a gas phase reactor. The wadding body of the present invention can be produced efficiently by crosslinking the cellulose molecules therein.
[0016]
Before the formaldehyde is allowed to act, the wadding body containing cellulose fibers is exposed to heated air or water vapor in order to make the wadding body as bulky as possible, and the temperature of the air is 40 to 180 ° C. The temperature of the water vapor is preferably 100 to 140 ° C., and the exposure time is preferably 5 seconds to 60 minutes. In a bulky state, the cellulose fibers are cross-linked by subsequent formaldehyde and the shape of the cellulose fibers is fixed, so that it has excellent elasticity, compression recovery, drying properties, etc. despite its high hygroscopicity. A cotton body is obtained.
The bulk density of the wadding body of the present invention is preferably 30 to 150 g / cc from the viewpoints of ease of action of formaldehyde, handleability, and the like.
[0017]
The gas phase state of formaldehyde is determined by introducing formaldehyde gas generated by heating paraformaldehyde or a formalin aqueous solution into the gas phase reactor, or by heating the formalin aqueous solution by spraying it into the reactor in the form of a mist. Obtainable.
[0018]
As the catalyst, a latent acidic catalyst such as SO 2 gas, MgCl 2 , Zn (BF 4 ) 2 , NH 4 Cl, or a hydrochloride of an aliphatic amine can be used.
The gas phase reaction conditions are usually 40 to 200 ° C. and 1 to 120 minutes.
[0019]
The stuffed cotton body of the present invention is mainly composed of cellulose fiber alone or cellulose fiber, but natural fiber is sterilized inevitably because formaldehyde treatment, and further heat treatment and steam treatment are performed before or after formaldehyde treatment. It is in a state that has been subjected to treatment and antibacterial treatment, and can provide a stuffed cotton body having excellent hygiene.
The amount of residual free formalin in the stuffed cotton body after formaldehyde treatment is 75 ppm or less, and the remaining amount can be easily reduced by post-steam treatment after formaldehyde treatment.
[0020]
【Example】
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention, this invention is not limited to this.
<Measurement method>
Bonded formalin amount: About 2 g of padded cotton is treated in boiling water for 15 minutes, washed with water, completely dried and weighed, then decomposed in 20% sulfuric acid by steam distillation method, and recovered formalin is recovered in aqueous sodium bisulfite solution. Excess sodium bisulfite was oxidized by the basic titration method, and then the adduct was decomposed with alkali. The amount of formalin and sodium bisulfite added was determined, and the formalin per weight of the stuffed cotton was expressed in wt%.
[0021]
Example 1
<Manufacture of padded cotton>
Supima cotton was put on a blended cotton machine to create a cotton sheet roll. Subsequently, punching was performed once on each of the front and back surfaces at a speed of 20 m / min at a stroke of 60 strokes / min with a needle punch machine having a needle density of 6 / cm 2 . Thus, a cotton sheet having an average sheet thickness of 20 mm and a weight of 480 g / m 2 was produced (bulk height of 41.6 g / cc).
[0022]
2.4 kg of this cotton sheet was suspended in a gas phase reaction treatment tank in a state where the surfaces did not contact each other. Next, 4.0 l of a 37% formalin aqueous solution was uniformly injected into water vapor and mist first, and then 250 g of sulfur dioxide gas was injected.
Thereafter, the temperature of the gas phase reaction vessel was raised to 128 ° C. and kept at this temperature for 5 minutes. Thereafter, deformalin treatment was performed with water vapor. In the cotton fiber of the cotton sheet thus obtained, 0.40% (weight% per fiber weight) of bound formalin was present.
The evaluation results of the treated cotton sheet (referred to as the present treated product) are shown below in comparison with the cotton sheet (referred to as an untreated product) that has been subjected to needle punching.
[0023]
<Evaluation 1> Dry and wet compression recovery rate (%)
The treated product and the untreated product were cut into two rectangular parallelepipeds each having a size of 70 cm × 50 cm. Each weight was 168 grams for the treated product and 160 grams for the untreated product (both dry weight). Water of 20% of its weight was uniformly applied to each of the cut out rectangular parallelepipeds, placed in a plastic bag, and left overnight in a constant temperature room at 20 ° C. On the other hand, each of the other pieces was completely dried and then allowed to stand overnight at 20 ° C. in a silica gel desiccator. The compression recovery rate of the sample thus prepared was measured according to JIS L 1097 method (1982). In the measurement, each rectangular parallelepiped was folded in half. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0024]
[Table 1]
According to the results shown in Table 1, the compression recovery rate after water application is 57% in the present treated product, compared to 57% in the untreated product, whereas it is as low as 37% in the untreated product. The initial load (A) for measurement is 0.5 g / cm 2 , the heavy load (B) is 10 g / cm 2 , the heavy load time is 30 minutes, and the thickness measurement after removing the heavy load is 20 Went a minute later.
[0025]
<Evaluation 2> Drying rate (% / min)
The treated product and untreated product were each taken in three pieces, sufficiently immersed in distilled water, and then squeezed with a mangle to a moisture content of 80% (absolute dry weight basis). Thereafter, the change in weight in an environment of 20 ° C. and 65% RH was measured. Using this result, the time during which the moisture content was changed from 30% to 15% was determined for each sample, and the drying speed at that time was determined.
[0026]
[Table 2]
According to the results in Table 2, the drying speed of the treated product is as fast as 1.5 times that of the untreated product. That is, it can be seen that sweat absorbed at bedtime is quickly released.
[0027]
<Evaluation 3> Amount of free formalin This treated product was 55 ppm when the amount of free formalin was measured by the JIS L 1041 3.1.2 acetylacetone method.
[0028]
Example 2
A cotton sheet was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the amount of the formalin aqueous solution was 7.0 l and the amount of the sulfur dioxide gas was 450 g. When evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, the amount of bound formalin in the cotton fiber was 0.91% (% by weight per fiber weight), Rw of the compression recovery rate (%) was 65.0, and R D was At 97.5, R W / R D was 0.66. The drying rate (% / min) was 1.20. The amount of free formalin was 30 ppm.
Therefore, it can be seen that the treated product has a high compression recovery property and a high drying speed, and is suitable as a batting for a mat.
[0029]
