前記オレフィン系重合体(A)と前記オレフィン系重合体(B)が、少なくともMz/Mw、融点、あるいはMFRのいずれかが異なる重合体であり、
前記オレフィン系重合体(A)及び/又は前記オレフィン系重合体(B)に、炭素数19以下の脂肪酸アミドを添加してなる捲縮複合繊維である。
本発明に係るオレフィン系重合体(A)のMw/Mn(A)とオレフィン系重合体(B)のMw/Mn(B)の差〔Mw/Mn(A)-Mw/Mn(B):ΔMw/Mn〕の絶対値が、1.5以下であっても、オレフィン系重合体(A)とオレフィン系重合体(B)のMz/Mwが異なれば、得られる複合繊維は捲縮に優れ、さらに0.3~1.0であっても捲縮が発現する。Mw/Mnは、一般に分子量分布(多分散度)とも呼ばれ、重合体の分子量分布の広さの尺度とされる。ΔMw/Mnが大きくなりすぎると、一方の材料〔(a)部〕と、もう一方の材料〔(b)部〕の流動特性、および結晶化挙動の差が顕著となる。この結果、繊維の紡糸性が低下する虞がある。本発明において記号「~」は、その両端の値も含む。

本発明の捲縮複合繊維における(a)部と(b)部の割合は、質量比〔(a):(b)〕にして、10:90~60:40、好ましくは10:90~50:50、より好ましくは20:80~40:60である。(a)部と(b)部の質量比が前記上限値を超える、あるいは前記下限値未満であると、前記脂肪酸アミドを添加しても、捲縮性の改良効果が然程認められない。
<捲縮複合繊維の捲縮数等>
本発明の捲縮複合繊維の捲縮数はJIS L1015に準拠して求められる。捲縮数は、通常、繊維25mm当たり18個以上であり、20~50個が好ましく、得られる不織布の視認性、地合の観点から、20~40がさらに好ましく、20~30が最も好ましい。好ましい。捲縮数が前記下限値より少ないと、捲縮繊維の3次元螺旋構造に由来する嵩高性などの特性が得られない虞がある。一方、捲縮数が前記上限値より多いと、繊維の均一な分散が困難となり、不織布としたときの地合や機械強度が低下する虞がある。
本発明の不織布は、前記捲縮複合繊維を含む不織布であり、通常、目付(不織布の単位面積当たりの質量)が3~100g/m2、好ましくは7~60g/m2の範囲にある。
本発明の捲縮複合繊維を含む不織布(以下、通常の不織布と区別するために、「捲縮複合繊維不織布」と呼ぶ場合がある。)は、用途により種々の層と積層して得る。
本発明の不織布は、発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、種々公知の製造方法で製造されうるが、以下に好ましい製造方法を説明する。
(1)(a)部と(b)部の原料となる前記オレフィン系重合体(A)及び/又は前記オレフィン系重合体(B)に、前記脂肪酸アミドを所定量添加してなる組成物を、少なくとも二つの押出機を用いてそれぞれ個別に溶融し、複合紡糸ノズルから吐出して複合繊維を得る工程、
(2)前記複合繊維を冷却、延伸、細化して、捲縮させた後、捕集ベルト上に所定の厚さに堆積する工程、および
(3)前記堆積した複合繊維を交絡処理する工程、を経て製造されることが好ましい。この製造方法は、スパンボンド法とも呼ばれる。
この工程では公知の押出機および複合紡糸ノズルを用いればよい。溶融温度も特に限定されないが、溶融温度は、オレフィン系重合体の融点より50℃程度高い温度が好ましい。このときの紡糸性は、一定時間内の糸切れの有無により評価される。
この工程では、空気を吹き付けて溶融繊維を冷却することが好ましい。このときの空気の温度は、10~40℃であればよい。また、冷却された繊維に、さらに空気を吹き付けて張力を与えて、所望の太さの繊維に調整してもよい。冷却された繊維は、捲縮繊維となる。捕集ベルトは公知のものを用いればよいが、ベルトコンベアのように、捕集された捲縮繊維を運搬できる機能を有することが好ましい。
この工程で施される交絡処理の例には、堆積した捲縮複合繊維(以下単に「繊維」ともいう)に、ウォータージェットや超音波等を当てる方法や、繊維にエンボス加工やホットエアースルー処理を施して繊維同士を熱融着する方法が含まれる。
