【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高圧水流などの物理的手段によって容易に割繊が可能であり、安価に製造が可能である分割型複合繊維に関するものであり、衛生材料、フィルター、ワイパー、電池セパレータなどに好適な極細繊維不織布に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
元来、ポリオレフィン系ポリマー同士など同族系ポリマー同士を組み合わせた分割型複合繊維は、相溶性がよいため、非相溶性のポリマーの組み合わせた分割型複合繊維に比べ、分割性に劣っている。これを解消するため、分割性を向上させようとする様々な試みがなされている。例えば、本出願人において、特公平6−63129号公報には、ロックウェル硬度が60以上からなるポリオレフィン系ポリマー同士からなるポリオレフィン系分割型複合繊維を提案し、特開平4−289222号公報には、少なくとも1成分にオルガノポリシロキサンなどからなる溶融紡糸温度では液相となる耐熱性化合物を混合したポリオレフィン系分割型複合繊維を提案している。また、特開平8−311717号公報には、少なくとも1成分に親水成分を混合したポリオレフィン系分割型複合繊維が開示されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記ポリオレフィン系分割型複合繊維においても分割性は十分とはいえず、特開平4−289222号公報および特開平8−311717号公報では、第三成分を混合するため、工程性に劣るだけでなく、不経済である。
したがって、高圧水流などの物理的手段によって容易に割繊が可能であり、安価に製造が可能であるポリオレフィン系分割型複合繊維が得られていないのが実情である。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、分割型複合フィラメントを高倍率で延伸し、得られたポリプロピレンのQ値を所望の数値以上とすることにより、高度に分割することを見いだした。すなわち、本発明の分割型複合繊維は、ポリプロピレンよりなる第一成分とポリエチレンよりなる第二成分とからなる分割型複合繊維であって、前記複合繊維中の第一成分のQ値(重量平均分子量/数平均分子量の比)が少なくとも5であり、第二成分のQ値が少なくとも4であり、複合繊維中の第一成分のQ値(Q 1 )と第二成分のQ値(Q 2 )との比(Q 1 /Q 2 )が少なくとも1.0であることを特徴とする。
【0005】
前記分割型複合繊維中の第二成分のQ値が少なくとも4.5であることが望ましい。さらに、複合繊維の単繊維伸度が20〜100%であることが望ましい。
【0006】
本発明の分割型複合繊維は、Q値が5より高いポリプロピレン系ポリマーを第一成分とし、Q値が4より高いポリエチレン系ポリマーを第二成分として分割型複合ノズルを用いて溶融紡糸し、5倍以上に多段延伸して、複合繊維中の第一成分のQ値(Q 1 )と第二成分のQ値(Q 2 )との比(Q 1 /Q 2 )を少なくとも1.0に調整することにより製造できる。さらに、前記多段延伸した後、100〜120℃の緊張雰囲気下で熱処理を施すことが望ましい。
【0007】
そして、前記分割型複合繊維を分割して得られる繊度0.5dtex以下の極細繊維を含有する極細繊維不織布は、衛生材料、フィルター、ワイパー、電池セパレータなどに好適である。
以下、本発明の内容を説明する。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の分割型複合繊維は、ポリプロピレンよりなる第一成分とポリエチレンよりなる第二成分とからなり、繊維断面において構成成分のうち少なくとも1成分が2個以上に区分し、構成成分の少なくとも一部が繊維表面に露出し、その露出部分が繊維の長さ方向に連続的に形成されている構造を有する。図1〜図3に本発明の分割型複合繊維の繊維断面の一例を示す。符号1がポリプロピレンよりなる第一成分、符号2がポリエチレンよりなる第二成分である。また、繊維断面形状は、円形、楕円形、異形断面のいずれであってもよい。そして、1つの構成成分の繊維表面に露出している部分は、全繊維表面に対して5〜95%であることが好ましい。上記範囲から外れると、高圧水流などの物理的手段を用いても高度な分割性が得られないからである。また、分割数は、工程性および分割性の面から考慮すると4〜24分割が好適であり、1成分の全体に対する複合比(体積比)は、繊維の分割性および工程性の面から30〜70%が好ましく、特に40〜60%が好適である。
【0009】
そして、本発明に用いられる第一成分のポリプロピレンは、紡糸、延伸後の製品時でのQ値(重量平均分子量/数平均分子量の比)が少なくとも5となるポリマーが用いられる。より好ましいQ値は、少なくとも5.5である。ポリプロピレンのQ値は、溶融紡糸前のポリマーのQ値に比べ、製品時に若干低くなる傾向にあるので5より若干Q値の高いポリマーを選択し、調整するとよい。また、Q値が少なくとも5となるように、Q値の異なるポリマーを混合してもよい。そして、ポリプロピレンのQ値が5未満であると、第二成分であるポリエチレンに比べ延伸性に劣るので2成分間の延伸性が不均一となり、ひいては高度な分割性を有する繊維が得られないからである。
【0010】
また、ポリプロピレンのメルトフローレート(MFR:JIS−K−7210、230℃)は、10〜40g/10minであることが好ましい。MFRが10g/10min未満であると、樹脂の流動性、紡糸時の延展性が悪くなり、細繊度の繊維を紡糸し難くなり、40g/10minを超えると、紡糸が不安定となるだけでなく、得られた繊維自体もコシが弱く、カード等の工程性も悪いからである。
【0011】
本発明に用いられる第二成分のポリエチレンは、できるだけ第一成分のポリプロピレンのQ値(以下、Q1)に近いQ値(以下、Q2)を得るように調整するとよく、Q2は少なくとも4であることが好ましい。より好ましくは少なくとも4.5である。ポリエチレンのQ値も、溶融紡糸前のポリマーのQ値に比べ、製品のQ値は低くなる傾向にあるが、その減少の割合はポリプロピレンより大きいことを留意して4より高いQ値のポリマーを選択し、調整するとよい。また、Q値が少なくとも4となるように、Q値の異なるポリマーを混合してもよい。そして、第一成分のQ値(以下、Q1)と第二成分のQ値(以下、Q2)との比(Q1/Q2)が少なくとも1.0であるように調整することが好ましい。より好ましくは、1.1〜2.0である。Q1/Q2が1.0未満であると、2成分間の延伸性が不均一となり、高度な分割性を有する繊維が得られないからである。
【0012】
前記ポリマーを用い、本発明の分割型複合繊維は以下のように製造することができる。公知の溶融紡糸機に所定の繊維断面を得る分割型複合ノズルを装着し、引取速度100〜1000m/min、かつドラフト率のあまり高くない条件下で、1成分の繊維表面に露出している部分が全繊維表面に対して5〜95%となるように、2成分の溶融粘度を調整し溶融紡糸される。このとき、得られた紡糸フィラメントの繊度は、4〜12dtexであることが好ましい。紡糸フィラメントの繊度が4dtex未満であると、紡糸工程での糸切れが生じ易くなり、繊度が12dtexを超えると、分割後の繊維の繊度が大きくなり、通常の繊度を持つ繊維を用いた不織布と大差がないからである。そして、本発明においては、分割型複合繊維の分割後の繊度が0.5dtex以下になるように調整することが好ましい。より好ましい分割後の繊度は、0.1〜0.3dtexである。分割後の繊度が0.5dtexを超えると、分割型複合繊維を分割させたときに発現する異形断面を有する極細繊維独特の緻密さ、風合い、強力、機能性が損なわれるからである。
【0013】
前記紡糸フィラメントは、公知の延伸機を用いて延伸処理されるが、本発明においては特に、延伸温度80〜120℃の温水あるいは蒸気中で延伸させることが好ましい。延伸温度が80℃未満であると、延伸性が不十分であり、分割性に優れた分割型複合繊維を得ることができず、延伸温度が120℃を超えると、繊維の融着が起こり易く、不織布にしたときの地合斑となる。また、加熱空気や熱ロールなどを用いる乾式延伸は、繊維の融着が起こり易い点で好ましくない。さらに、延伸方法も一度に所定の延伸倍率まで延伸する一段延伸よりも、二段延伸以上の多段延伸にて徐々に紡糸フィラメントを延伸することが、均質に紡糸フィラメントを引き伸ばすことができ、分子配向による結晶化が促進される点で好ましい。特に、多段延伸(n回に分けて延伸した)の場合、1段目〜n段目にかけて徐々に延伸倍率を高めて延伸すると、第一成分のポリプロピレンの結晶性が向上し、分割性に優れた分割型複合繊維を得ることができる。延伸倍率においては、5倍以上の延伸することが好ましい。より好ましくは、6倍以上である。延伸倍率が5倍未満であると、第一成分の分子配向による結晶化が低く、十分な分割性が得られないからである。例えば、2段延伸であれば、1段目を1.5〜3倍延伸し、2段目を2〜6倍延伸して、全体として延伸倍率6倍以上とすることができる。
【0014】
次いで、延伸されたフィラメントは、緊張状態を保ったままの状態で、100〜120℃に加熱された熱水、蒸気、乾熱などの雰囲気下で熱処理すると、特に第一成分のポリプロピレンの結晶化が促進されて、分割性が向上する点で好ましい。ここでいう緊張状態とは、おおよそ1.1〜1.2倍でフィラメントが引き揃えられた状態のことをいう。熱処理温度が100℃未満であると、その効果は大差がなく、120℃を超えると、繊維の融着が起こり易くなり好ましくない。そして、上記熱処理は、繊維処理剤付与前あるいは後のいずれであってもよく、その後必要に応じて捲縮付与、乾燥処理され、所定の繊維長に切断されて分割型複合繊維を得る。このようにして得られた分割型複合繊維の繊度は、0.5〜4dtexであることが好ましく、より好ましくは、繊度0.8〜2dtexである。
【0015】
このようにして、複合繊維中の第一成分のQ値(重量平均分子量/数平均分子量の比)が少なくとも5とすることにより、分割性に優れ、安価に製造が可能である分割型複合繊維を得ることができる。また、繊維製造工程において、延伸倍率を高くして2成分の結晶化を高めることにより、分割性がさらに向上する。前記分割型複合繊維において複合形態で2成分の結晶化度を測定することは困難であるため、単繊維伸度、単繊維強度、単繊維ヤング率の数値で代用すると、得られた分割型複合繊維の単繊維伸度は、20〜100%であることが好ましい。より好ましくは、25〜70%であり、さらに好ましくは25〜50%である。単繊維伸度が20%未満であると、延伸工程での単糸切れによるロールへの巻き付きが発生しやすい傾向にあり、単繊維伸度が100%を超えると、第一成分の分子配向による結晶化が不十分であり、後述する高圧水流処理などによる衝撃力では、十分に分割できないからである。また、得られた分割型複合繊維の単繊維強度は、3cN/dtex以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは、4.5cN/dtex以上である。単繊維強度が3cN/dtex以上であると、分割性が向上する点で好ましい。さらに、得られた分割型複合繊維の単繊維ヤング率は、2000N/mm2以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは、2500N/mm2以上である。単繊維ヤング率が2000N/mm2以上であると、分割性が向上する点で好ましい。
【0016】
得られた分割性複合繊維は、主として不織布に利用され、その繊維ウェブ形態も特に限定はされず、例えば、カード法により形成されたカードウェブ、エアレイ法により形成されたエアレイウェブ、湿式抄紙法により形成された湿式抄紙ウェブ、スパンボンド法により形成されたスパンボンドウェブなどが挙げられる。繊維ウェブの目付も特に限定されないが、10〜100g/m2とすると後述する高圧水流処理により、本発明の分割型複合繊維を容易に分割させるとともに交絡させることができ、好ましい。
【0017】
本発明の分割型複合繊維を高度に分割させるには、公知の高圧水流処理法を用いることが好ましい。高圧水流処理は、孔径0.05〜0.5mmのオリフィスが0.5〜1.5mmの間隔で設けられたノズルから、水圧3〜20MPaの柱状水流を不織布の表裏にそれぞれ1回以上噴射するとよいが、本発明の分割型複合繊維であれば、水圧3〜8MPaという従来の分割型複合繊維では十分に分割し得なかった低圧下でも分割が可能である。
【0018】
【実施例】
以下、実施例にて本発明をさらに詳しく説明する。なお、各ポリマーおよび複合繊維中の各成分のQ値、メルトフローレート、単繊維強伸度、単繊維ヤング率、不織布の引張強力、破断伸度および分割率は、以下の方法で測定した。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a split type composite fiber that can be easily split by physical means such as high-pressure water flow and can be manufactured at low cost, and is suitable for sanitary materials, filters, wipers, battery separators, and the like. It relates to an ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Originally, split type composite fibers in which homologous polymers such as polyolefin polymers are combined with each other have good compatibility, so that they are inferior in splittability compared to split type composite fibers in which incompatible polymers are combined. In order to solve this problem, various attempts have been made to improve the division property. For example, in the present applicant, Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-63129 has proposed a polyolefin-based split type composite fiber composed of polyolefin-based polymers having a Rockwell hardness of 60 or more, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-289222. A polyolefin-based split composite fiber is proposed in which at least one component is mixed with a heat-resistant compound that becomes a liquid phase at a melt spinning temperature composed of organopolysiloxane or the like. JP-A-8-311717 discloses a polyolefin-based split conjugate fiber in which a hydrophilic component is mixed with at least one component.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even in the above-mentioned polyolefin-based split type composite fiber, it cannot be said that the splitting property is sufficient. In JP-A-4-289222 and JP-A-8-311717, since the third component is mixed, the processability is inferior. Rather it is uneconomical.
Therefore, the fact is that polyolefin splitting composite fibers that can be easily split by physical means such as high-pressure water flow and can be manufactured at low cost have not been obtained.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventor has found that the split type composite filament is stretched at a high magnification, and the resulting polypropylene is highly divided by setting the Q value of the polypropylene to a desired value or more. That is, the splittable conjugate fiber of the present invention is a splittable conjugate fiber comprising a second component consisting of the first component and a polyethylene made of polypropylene, Q value of the first component of the composite fibers (weight average molecular weight / ratio of the number average molecular weight) Ri is at least 5 der, Q value of the second component is at least 4, Q values of the first component in the composite fibers (Q 1) and Q value of the second component (Q 2 )) (Q 1 / Q 2 ) is at least 1.0 .
[0005]
It is desirable that the Q value of the second component in the split composite fiber is at least 4.5 . Furthermore, it is desirable that the single fiber elongation of the composite fiber is 20 to 100%.
[0006]
The split type composite fiber of the present invention is obtained by melt spinning using a split type composite nozzle with a polypropylene polymer having a Q value higher than 5 as a first component and a polyethylene polymer having a Q value higher than 4 as a second component. and multi-stage stretching more than doubled, adjusting the Q value of the first component in the composite fibers (Q 1) and Q value of the second component ratio of the (Q 2) (Q 1 / Q 2) at least 1.0 It can be produced by. Furthermore, it is desirable to perform heat treatment in a tension atmosphere of 100 to 120 ° C. after the multistage stretching.
[0007]
The ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric containing ultrafine fibers having a fineness of 0.5 dtex or less obtained by dividing the split composite fiber is suitable for sanitary materials, filters, wipers, battery separators, and the like.
The contents of the present invention will be described below.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The split type composite fiber of the present invention comprises a first component made of polypropylene and a second component made of polyethylene, and at least one of the constituent components in the fiber cross section is divided into two or more, and at least a part of the constituent components Is exposed on the fiber surface, and the exposed portion is continuously formed in the length direction of the fiber. 1 to 3 show an example of a fiber cross section of the split composite fiber of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a first component made of polypropylene, and reference numeral 2 is a second component made of polyethylene. Further, the fiber cross-sectional shape may be any of a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a modified cross-sectional shape. And it is preferable that the part exposed to the fiber surface of one structural component is 5-95% with respect to the whole fiber surface. This is because, if it is out of the above range, a high degree of splitting cannot be obtained even by using physical means such as high-pressure water flow. In addition, the number of divisions is preferably 4 to 24 divisions from the viewpoint of processability and divisionability, and the composite ratio (volume ratio) of one component as a whole is 30 to 30 from the aspects of fiber divisionability and processability. 70% is preferable, and 40 to 60% is particularly preferable.
[0009]
The first component polypropylene used in the present invention is a polymer having a Q value (ratio of weight average molecular weight / number average molecular weight) of at least 5 in the product after spinning and stretching. A more preferred Q value is at least 5.5. Since the Q value of polypropylene tends to be slightly lower in the product than the Q value of the polymer before melt spinning, a polymer having a Q value slightly higher than 5 may be selected and adjusted. Further, polymers having different Q values may be mixed so that the Q value is at least 5. And if the Q value of polypropylene is less than 5, the stretchability between the two components is inhomogeneous compared to polyethylene as the second component, so the stretchability between the two components becomes uneven, and as a result, fibers having a high degree of splitting cannot be obtained. It is.
[0010]
Moreover, it is preferable that the melt flow rate (MFR: JIS-K-7210, 230 degreeC) of a polypropylene is 10-40 g / 10min. If the MFR is less than 10 g / 10 min, the fluidity of the resin and the spreadability at the time of spinning deteriorate, and it becomes difficult to spin fine fibers. If it exceeds 40 g / 10 min, the spinning becomes unstable. This is because the obtained fibers themselves are weak and the processability of cards and the like is also poor.
[0011]
Polyethylene second component used in the present invention, as far as possible Q value of the polypropylene of the first component (hereinafter, Q 1) Q value close to (hereinafter, Q 2) may the be adjusted to obtain, Q 2 is at least 4 It is preferable that More preferably it is at least 4.5. The Q value of polyethylene also tends to be lower than the Q value of the polymer before melt spinning, but the rate of decrease is higher than that of polypropylene. Select and adjust. Further, polymers having different Q values may be mixed so that the Q value is at least 4. The ratio (Q 1 / Q 2 ) between the Q value of the first component (hereinafter referred to as Q 1 ) and the Q value of the second component (hereinafter referred to as Q 2 ) is adjusted to be at least 1.0. preferable. More preferably, it is 1.1-2.0. This is because if Q 1 / Q 2 is less than 1.0, the stretchability between the two components becomes non-uniform, and fibers having a high degree of splitting property cannot be obtained.
[0012]
Using the polymer, the split composite fiber of the present invention can be produced as follows. A part that is exposed on the surface of a single-component fiber under the condition that a split type composite nozzle that obtains a predetermined fiber cross section is mounted on a known melt spinning machine, and the drawing speed is 100 to 1000 m / min and the draft rate is not so high. Is melt spun by adjusting the melt viscosity of the two components so that the total fiber surface becomes 5 to 95% of the total fiber surface. At this time, the fineness of the obtained spinning filament is preferably 4 to 12 dtex. When the fineness of the spinning filament is less than 4 dtex, yarn breakage is likely to occur in the spinning process. When the fineness exceeds 12 dtex, the fineness of the fiber after division increases, and the nonwoven fabric using fibers having normal fineness This is because there is no big difference. And in this invention, it is preferable to adjust so that the fineness after the division | segmentation of a split type composite fiber may be 0.5 dtex or less. The fineness after division is more preferably 0.1 to 0.3 dtex. This is because if the fineness after splitting exceeds 0.5 dtex, the fineness, texture, strength, and functionality unique to ultrafine fibers having an irregular cross section that appears when splitting composite fibers are split are impaired.
[0013]
The spinning filament is drawn using a known drawing machine. In the present invention, the spinning filament is preferably drawn in warm water or steam at a drawing temperature of 80 to 120 ° C. If the stretching temperature is less than 80 ° C, the stretchability is insufficient, and it is not possible to obtain a split-type composite fiber having excellent splitting properties. If the stretching temperature exceeds 120 ° C, fiber fusion is likely to occur. When it is made into a non-woven fabric, it becomes a ground spot. Further, dry stretching using heated air or a hot roll is not preferable in that fiber fusion is likely to occur. Furthermore, it is possible to draw the spun filament gradually by multi-stage drawing of two or more stages, rather than the one-stage drawing that draws up to a predetermined draw ratio at a time. This is preferable in that crystallization is promoted. In particular, in the case of multi-stage stretching (stretched in n times), when the stretching ratio is gradually increased from the first stage to the n-th stage, the crystallinity of the first component polypropylene is improved and the splitting property is excellent. A split type composite fiber can be obtained. In the stretching ratio, it is preferable to stretch 5 times or more. More preferably, it is 6 times or more. This is because if the draw ratio is less than 5 times, crystallization due to molecular orientation of the first component is low, and sufficient splitting properties cannot be obtained. For example, in the case of two-stage stretching, the first stage can be stretched 1.5 to 3 times, the second stage can be stretched 2 to 6 times, and the stretch ratio can be 6 times or more as a whole.
[0014]
Next, when the drawn filament is heat-treated in an atmosphere of hot water, steam, dry heat, etc. heated to 100 to 120 ° C. while maintaining a tension state, the crystallization of the first component polypropylene in particular is performed. Is preferable in that it is promoted and the splitting property is improved. The tension state here means a state in which the filaments are aligned approximately 1.1 to 1.2 times. If the heat treatment temperature is less than 100 ° C., the effect is not greatly different, and if it exceeds 120 ° C., fiber fusion tends to occur, which is not preferable. The heat treatment may be performed either before or after the fiber treatment agent is applied, and then crimped and dried as necessary, and cut into a predetermined fiber length to obtain split composite fibers. The fineness of the split composite fiber thus obtained is preferably 0.5 to 4 dtex, and more preferably 0.8 to 2 dtex.
[0015]
Thus, by setting the Q value of the first component in the composite fiber to be at least 5 (ratio of weight average molecular weight / number average molecular weight), the split type composite fiber is excellent in splitting property and can be manufactured at low cost. Can be obtained. Further, in the fiber production process, the splitting property is further improved by increasing the draw ratio and increasing the crystallization of the two components. Since it is difficult to measure the degree of crystallinity of the two components in the composite form in the split composite fiber, when the values of single fiber elongation, single fiber strength, single fiber Young's modulus are substituted, the obtained split composite The single fiber elongation of the fiber is preferably 20 to 100%. More preferably, it is 25-70%, More preferably, it is 25-50%. When the single fiber elongation is less than 20%, winding of the roll due to single yarn breakage in the drawing process tends to occur, and when the single fiber elongation exceeds 100%, it depends on the molecular orientation of the first component. This is because the crystallization is insufficient and the impact cannot be sufficiently divided by an impact force such as a high-pressure water treatment described later. Further, the single fiber strength of the obtained split type composite fiber is preferably 3 cN / dtex or more. More preferably, it is 4.5 cN / dtex or more. When the single fiber strength is 3 cN / dtex or more, it is preferable in that the splitting property is improved. Furthermore, the single fiber Young's modulus of the obtained split composite fiber is preferably 2000 N / mm 2 or more. More preferably, it is 2500 N / mm 2 or more. When the single fiber Young's modulus is 2000 N / mm 2 or more, it is preferable in that the splitting property is improved.
[0016]
The obtained splittable conjugate fiber is mainly used for a nonwoven fabric, and the fiber web form is not particularly limited. For example, a card web formed by a card method, an air array web formed by an air array method, a wet papermaking method. Examples thereof include a wet papermaking web formed by the above, a spunbond web formed by a spunbond method, and the like. Although the basis weight of the fiber web is not particularly limited, it is preferably 10 to 100 g / m 2 because the split composite fiber of the present invention can be easily split and entangled by high-pressure water flow treatment described later.
[0017]
In order to divide the split type composite fiber of the present invention to a high degree, it is preferable to use a known high pressure water flow treatment method. In the high-pressure water flow treatment, a columnar water flow with a water pressure of 3 to 20 MPa is sprayed once or more on the front and back of the nonwoven fabric from a nozzle provided with orifices having a hole diameter of 0.05 to 0.5 mm at intervals of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. However, the split type composite fiber of the present invention can be split even under a low pressure that cannot be sufficiently split by a conventional split type composite fiber having a hydraulic pressure of 3 to 8 MPa.
[0018]

According to JIS-L-1015, the test was conducted by the above method, the initial tensile resistance P (cN / dtex) was determined from the load-elongation curve, and the value calculated by the following formula was defined as the single fiber Young's modulus. However, (rho) was made into the fiber density (g / cm < 3 >).
Single fiber Young's modulus (N / mm 2 ) = 1000 × P × ρ
[0023]
[Tensile strength and breaking elongation of nonwoven fabric]

Elongation rate was defined as tensile strength and breaking elongation.
[0024]
[Split rate]
The cross sections of the nonwoven fabric were bundled so as not to generate a space, magnified 1000 times with an electron microscope, and arbitrarily photographed at three locations, and the division ratio was calculated by the area ratio of the fibers divided in the photograph.
