Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to nonwoven fabric structures, and more particularly to a nonwoven fabric construct having relatively large denier fibers at the surface thereof, to facilitate use in cleaning/wiping applications.
  • the present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric structure, formed by hydroentanglement of a precursor fibrous web, which has demonstrated particular suitability for cleansing/wiping applications. Testing has shown the present product to provide a desirable tactile impression with users, which is believed to result from the disposition of relatively large denier fibers on the surface of the fabric structure. Such relatively large denier fibers have been found to provide good cleansing/wiping performance.
  • fiber deniers of 4 or greater are selected, with denier selected to be no more than about 12, by virtue of the limitations in the ability to efficiently hydroentangle such relatively large diameter fibers.
  • Presently preferred fibers range in denier from about 6 to about 9.
  • a cleansing/wiping nonwoven fabric structure is formed by providing a precursor web comprising a fibrous matrix of relatively large denier fibers, preferably having deniers within the range of about 4 to about 12, and more preferably in the range of about 6 to about 9.
  • the precursor web is positioned on a foraminous forming surface, which may be configured as a three-dimensional image transfer device, such as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,090,764, to Drelich et al., hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the precursor web is subjected to hydroentanglement by the direction of high-pressure liquid streams (water) against the web.
  • fibers selected for use in manufacture of the present invention comprise a blend of cellulosic fibers (such as viscose rayon or cotton) and synthetic fibers (such as polyester and polypropylene).
  • a fiber blend weight percentage ratio of approximately 50/50, cellulosic/synthetic, fibers is presently preferred.
  • This invention relates to the specific product construction of nonwovens that provide an improved cleansing effect. These nonwovens are especially suitable as wet wipe substrate for skin/facial cleaning. Wet wipe substrate of the novel construction is also applicable for cleaning other surfaces for domestic and industrial uses.
  • Typical product construction for a wet wipe substrate for hydroentangling process is a homogeneous blend of cellulose fibres, like viscose rayon or cotton, and synthetic fibres, like polyester and polypropylene, etc., at a blend ratio of approximately 50%.
  • Fibre thickness is normally 1,7 D'Tex / 40mm (1 D'Tex: weight in g in 10,000m).
  • Spunlace energy used depends on the type of spunlace system available. Certain amount of spunlace energy is required to spunlace fabric to achieve the fabric strength/ toughness required for converting and during use. 475 Kj/Kg is typical for a spunlace system utilising micro-perforated sleeve, and approximately 2750 Kj/Kg is used for normal perforated sleeve/belt system. Fabric made with conventional fabric construction - ⁇ 50% cellulose fibre/ ⁇ 50% synthetic fibre using micro-perforated sleeve + finishing belt system is normally smooth and soft. Wiping performance of this type of fabric is rated as average.
  • Patent -ref:WO97/00988 filed the process claim of using the low spunlace energy (low power jets water) with or without texture to improve the cleaning ability of the wet wipe substrate.
  • the Patent does not quantify the exact improvement of cleansing.
  • the present invention describes the use of spunlace system equipped with normal perforated sleeve/belt system in making a wet wiping substrate.
  • Wiping/picking-up property of wipe from any wiping surface is dominated by the surface characteristic of wipe as well as the total construction composition of the wipe.
  • the specially designed substrate is engineered to have special surface characteristic for good wiping/picking-up property.
  • the cleansing property of this specially designed substrate is tested to be significantly better. Though the work carried out so far is mainly focused on the fabric being used as wet wipe substrate, the knowledge may also be applicable to dry wipes for specific end use.
  • JSC-PGI Fine Plain 2700 35%PET1.7dtex/38mm 65% viscose rayon 1,7 tex/40rt PGI 4 Mid Fine Plain 3500 50%PETl,7dtex/38mm
  • High energy input to the mid fine plain samples is to ensure no/minimum loose fibres sticking out from the fabric surface.
  • Wipes made out of Nonwoven processes can be used to wipe off dirt which can be in the form of dust, liquid, oil/cream/paste (combination of dust and liquid, and in some cases, oil and oil & liquid with emulsifier).
  • This test method is aimed at the paste removal performance from a surface after a standard wiping movement.
  • the paste specified for this test is the Baby Cream from PENATEN ⁇ Baby Vietnamese- und Wundtikcreme Weich). This cream is chosen because of its low evaporation factor, and this gives better accuracy in the weight determination before and after tests. Also, the main objective is to evaluate the wiping performance of the wipe surface, and not the absorbency of the wipe which could be engineered via combination of raw material used besides the fabric surface engineering. Test Conditions
  • cream application template made from Ultra-High Molecular weight PolyEthylene Plastic, 0,4 mm thick, punched with 105 holes evenly distributed in 4 x 6 cm 2 ) and the scraping plate made also from the same UHMwPE material.
  • variable drive like Lab mixer or variable speed drive
  • Adjust the spindle speed so that the roll from the start mark to the end mark on the wiping plate is between 5 sec ⁇ 10%.
  • test sample 10 X 40 cm on the rollers.
  • the difference (W3) - (Wl) - (W2) is the amount of cream removed.
  • the ratio in % is sometime more meaningful in comparing wiping performance for different fabrics.
  • the best wipe is from the sample with layer construction - 100% high dtex polyester fibre as fabric surface. 25% less left over on the cleaning surface from the 1 st wipe is achieved, and with minimum left over from the 4 th wipe.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure de tissu non tissé, formée par un hydro-entrelacement d'un voile fibreux précurseur, s'étant avérée particulièrement appropriée pour des applications de nettoyage/essuyage. D'après les tests, les utilisateurs trouvent que le produit donne une impression tactile agréable, ce qui peut résulter de la disposition des fibres de denier relativement gros, à la surface de la structure du tissu. Ces fibres de denier relativement gros s'avèrent posséder d'excellentes propriétés de nettoyage/essuyage.
