2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, nonwoven fabrics containing ultrafine fibers have been used in many applications because of their excellent properties such as excellent sound absorbing properties, filtering properties, and shielding properties.
There are problems such as poor morphological stability, and for improvement, they have been used by laminating and compounding with another nonwoven fabric. At this time, as a method of laminating and integrating the nonwoven fabric, there are a method of applying a resin serving as a binder by spraying or transfer, and a method of using a heat fusion fiber. However, in these methods, it is necessary to perform heat treatment for the purpose of drying or melting and bonding the resin, which is not so preferable from the viewpoint of environmental pollution and energy saving. In addition, there is a problem that the binder resin forms a film at the interface between the nonwoven fabrics, and the air permeability and liquid permeability are reduced. On the other hand, as a method of laminating and integrating a microfiber nonwoven fabric and a long-fiber nonwoven fabric, a method of laminating a meltblown nonwoven fabric between spunbonded nonwoven fabrics and joining them by a hot embossing method is known. However, the nonwoven fabric obtained by joining and integrating these long-fiber nonwoven fabrics has a problem that it lacks voluminous feel, has a hard texture, and is restricted in use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail.
The composite nonwoven fabric in the present invention requires that at least two or more nonwoven fabrics are joined and integrated. Laminating a film or the like on a nonwoven fabric layer containing microfibers in order to control the air permeability and the like is also one of the desirable modes. In addition, it is preferable to form a composite with a woven fabric or a knitted fabric depending on the use. Further, a surface non-woven fabric having a design and a color or a pattern may be attached to the outside of the composite non-woven fabric, so that the composite non-woven fabric can be suitably used as a vehicle interior material or a soundproofing material for architectural use.

[0007] The ultrafine fiber melt blown nonwoven fabric according to the present invention is composed of ultrafine fibers having a fiber diameter of 6 microns or less by weight.
Preferably, it is contained at 0% or more. The entire nonwoven fabric may be composed of only ultrafine fibers, but if the content is too low, it is difficult to obtain the effect of the characteristics of ultrafine fibers. The fiber diameter of the ultrafine fibers is more preferably 5 microns or less, particularly preferably 0.5 to 4 microns, and most preferably about 1.5 to 3 microns. The nonwoven fabric obtained by the melt blow method is preferable because the fibers can be randomly arranged, the filter performance and the sound absorption performance can be improved, and the production cost is low.

It is also preferable to use a nonwoven fabric bonded to a reinforcing nonwoven fabric, such as a spunbonded nonwoven fabric, or to laminate three or more nonwoven fabrics simultaneously in the laminating step. At this time, it is preferable that the spunbonded nonwoven fabric having excellent abrasion resistance is placed on the surface layer side when used.

The material constituting the melt blown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited, but polyester or polyolefin is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of recyclability. Preferably, the same material as the short-fiber nonwoven fabric laminated on the meltblown ultrafine-fiber nonwoven fabric is particularly preferable because it is easy to recycle. On the other hand, there is no practical problem even if fibers made of a plurality of materials are mixed.

Next, the short fiber nonwoven fabric laminated with the melt blown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric preferably has a fiber diameter of 7 to 40 microns, particularly preferably 7 to 20 microns. If the fiber diameter is smaller than 7 microns, it is not preferable in terms of productivity such as spinning property from a card machine. If the fiber diameter is much smaller than 7 microns, the laminating effect according to the present invention will be reduced. Another problem may occur in that the nonwoven fabric is easily fluffed. If the fiber diameter is larger than 40 microns, the contribution to the desired properties such as sound absorption performance and filter performance becomes small, which is not preferable. The reason for this is not clear, but it can be assumed that the difference in properties from the melt blown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is too large.

In the present invention, by laminating a nonwoven fabric of short fibers with a nonwoven fabric containing ultrafine fibers, the meltblown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric has a low form stability (easy to fluff and easy to fluff) and has a problem in maintaining bulkiness. Effects such as improving the disadvantage of being easily generated and obtaining high cushioning properties are exhibited. Further, when used as a filter, it is possible to obtain effects such as a longer filtration life and a longer retention amount of dust or dust.

The basis weight of the short fiber non-woven fabric is 50-2000.

A basis weight larger than 2 is not preferable because the thickness becomes too large to take up space and the application is limited.

The length of the short fibers is preferably from 38 to 150 mm, particularly preferably from 50 to 100 mm. When a composite nonwoven fabric is used as a sound absorbing material, the longer the fiber length, the better the sound absorption coefficient is. However, if the fiber length is too long, the spinning property from the card deteriorates, which is not preferable. The short fiber may be a single component, or may be a mixture of two or more types or a multicomponent fiber. If the weight fraction is about 30% or less in order to adjust the hardness of the nonwoven fabric, the characteristics will not change much even if thicker fibers are mixed. If there are too many thick fibers, problems such as the texture of the nonwoven fabric becoming too hard tend to occur, which is not so preferable. It is also preferable to use heat fusible fibers having different melting points from the viewpoint of improving dimensional stability.

In the method of laminating and integrating the nonwoven fabric according to the present invention, the nonwoven fabric is integrated by either a fluid entanglement method or a needle punch method. Needle punch method can be adopted a method that is generally implemented as a nonwoven fabric processing method, for example,
This is a method described in "Foundations and applications of nonwoven fabrics" edited by the Japan Society of Textile Machinery Nonwovens Study Group. When the meltblown nonwoven fabric and the short-fiber nonwoven fabric are combined using the needle punch method, it is generally expected that holes will be formed in the meltblown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric, and that sound absorption performance and filter performance will be reduced. However, surprisingly, the present invention does not exhibit such disadvantages.

When performing the needle punching, it is preferable to use a needle (needle) finer than 38th, and particularly preferably 40 to 42th. Preferably, the needle enters from the short-fiber nonwoven fabric side and forms a short-fiber loop outside the nonwoven fabric containing the meltblown ultrafine fibers. The meltblown nonwoven fabric is easy to fuzz because the fiber is caught by other objects or cut by it, but the short fiber loop prevents the surface from fluffing of the meltblown nonwoven fabric, or becomes a cushion layer to form a meltblown nonwoven fabric. Relaxing the external force applied to the layer is effective in preventing breakage.

Further, when laminating with another non-woven fabric or film, the loop of short fibers and the third material to be laminated are adhered to each other, so that the melt blown non-woven fabric is broken when an external force such as bending or pulling is applied. Can be prevented from being performed. In order to form an appropriate loop size, the needle depth of the needle punch is preferably 15 mm or less. If the needle depth exceeds 15 mm, the nonwoven fabric breaks due to the impact when the needles and short fibers penetrate the meltblown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric, and the needle hole after the penetration becomes too large, which is not preferable. The needle depth depends on the barb position of the needle, but is preferably 5 mm or more in order to increase the entanglement of the nonwoven fabric and prevent peeling.

Next, the fluid entanglement method is a method in which fibers are entangled by applying a fluid, and the water entanglement method is generally used. In the hydroentanglement method, it is generally known that traces of the water flow are likely to remain in a streak shape. For this reason, it is common to use the hydroentanglement method as a laminating means of a bulky nonwoven fabric and a meltblown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric. Was not
The present inventor has found that when the basis weight of the short-fiber nonwoven fabric is as small as 300 g / m 2 or less, lamination can be carried out without particularly impairing the soft feel of the short-fiber nonwoven fabric.

Comparative Example 1 The two types of nonwoven fabrics used in Example 1 were coated with an acrylic resin binder at 15 g / m 2 to form a composite of the nonwoven fabrics. Even if the composite nonwoven fabric was bent, the problem of initial peeling did not occur, but repeated peeling caused partial peeling. It is considered that the adhesion of the constituent fibers of the meltblown nonwoven fabric was weak, and the inside was broken. The sound absorption coefficient was as high as 70%, which was as good as that of Example 1. Although the sound absorption coefficient is slightly higher than that of Example 1, there is no difference due to the trace of the puncture hole due to the needle punch when the effect of the resin adhesion is considered, and it is considered that the sound absorption coefficient is about a measurement error.
