昭６３−２４９４４号公報に提案されている。Conventionally, many proposals have been made for nonwoven fabrics used as facings for sanitary products. For example, in an attempt to improve liquid absorption and dispersion by adding characteristics to the structure of a nonwoven fabric, a nonwoven fabric is made of multiple layers, with the front layer being 60 to 80% polyester fibers and 20 to 20% rayon fibers.
40%, the inner layer is 20% polyester fiber.
~40%, G-3F1 A nonwoven facing material consisting of 40 to 50% composite fibers is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-29488, with a first layer mainly consisting of hydrophobic fibers and a first layer mainly consisting of hydrophilic fibers of 2 deniers or less. Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-189505 discloses a non-woven diaper facing material in which a web of laminated second layers is partially bonded, and fibers having different amounts of binder fibers and hydrophilicity are laminated in the upper layer and the lower layer. JP-A No. 61-2854 discloses that a nonwoven fabric is used as a surface material, and is a composite web consisting of two layers, the front layer containing 20 to 55% by weight of heat-sealable fibers, and the back layer containing more fiber than the surface layer. Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-13820 discloses a cover for sanitary materials containing heat-fusible fibers, which are fused at mutual intersections by the fusible fibers. A surface material for an absorbent article made of a non-porous second layer of laminated nonwoven fabric made of fibers mainly composed of hydrophilic fibers is disclosed in JP-A-61-15343 and JP-A-62-170565. A surface material for disposable diapers made by laminating three types of nonwoven fabrics with different fiber lengths is disclosed in JP-A-61-186504, and a wet-laid non-woven fabric made of non-circular cross-section polyester fibers is disclosed in JP-A-61-1865 as a covering paper for sanitary absorbent materials. 15693, polyester fiber: rayon fiber: polyolefin fiber is 45 to 80:
Date l~4 mixed fibers at a ratio of 20~40:10~30
0g/m" perforated nonwoven fabric for the facing of sanitary products such as sanitary napkins and diapers.
No. 1-32671 discloses that a dry nonwoven fabric made of three or more multilobed irregular cross-section fibers and a thermal binder fiber,
A facing made of a nonwoven fabric that prevents backflow of liquid is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-27161, with a surface fiber web mainly made of polyester-polyethylene composite fibers, and a side-by-side facing made of polyester-polyethylene composite fibers and polyester-high shrinkage polyester. JP-A No. 63-40549 discloses a surface sheet formed by laminating and integrating a back layer fiber web of composite fibers with a first surface layer of non-crimped fibers consisting only of heat-fusible fibers and crimped fibers. Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-9020 discloses an absorbent article whose surface material is a nonwoven fabric comprising a second layer of fibers imparted with hydrophobic fibers, a high-density upper layer with fine fineness mainly composed of hydrophobic fibers, and a second layer of fibers imparted with hydrophobic fibers. Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-1650 discloses a nonwoven fabric-like exterior material consisting of a low-density lower layer made of thick fineness and hydrophilic fibers and hydrophilic fibers.
This is proposed in Publication No. 0. In addition, in order to improve the absorbency and texture of non-woven fabrics by processing non-woven fabrics, thicknesses of 0, 1 to 3.0 including low melting point fibers are available.
A sanitary sheet in which one side of a mm web is partially thermocompressed and embossed to reach the other side, and the surface layer is thermally bonded in a dotted manner is disclosed in JP-A-59-46958 and JP-A-61-28246.
Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 60-50458 describes an exterior nonwoven fabric having a vertical striped pattern in which stripes with high and low fiber density are arranged alternately in the width direction of sanitary products, and a large number of melt-blown nonwoven fabrics are disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 50458/1983. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-655 discloses a perforated nonwoven fabric for a napkin surface material comprising a thermoplastic fiber web having a melt-embossed region and an adjacent substantially unmelted region. An absorbent article using a top sheet made of a nonwoven fabric on which is disposed is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-24944.

を提供するにある。Conventional facings for sanitary products have been improved mainly to suppress surface fuzz, retain their shape, improve texture, and suppress liquid return.However, the constituent fibers of conventional facing nonwoven fabrics Because they are mainly made of synthetic fibers, they are highly transparent, which can cause discomfort as the inner absorbent material colored by absorbed body fluids can be seen through the sanitary products after use. Furthermore, absorption and diffusion of body fluids is not very good. The present invention suppresses fuzz on the surface and has good shape retention.
To provide a facing for a sanitary product that suppresses the touch and texture and the return of liquid, quickly absorbs and diffuses body fluids, and has a concealing effect so that the absorbed body fluids cannot be seen through.

Composed of a saponified vinyl acetate copolymer or a melt-blown nonwoven fabric mainly composed of this polymer and having an average fiber diameter of 8 microns or less, the strip A and the opaque strip B are made transparent or translucent by compression. This facing of a sanitary product is characterized in that it has a vertical striped pattern alternately arranged in the width direction of the sanitary product. The facing of the sanitary goods of the present invention is produced by producing a microfiber nonwoven fabric with good uniformity using a melt-blown spinning method using a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a specific physical property range.
The purpose is to process the melt-blown microfiber nonwoven fabric. That is, the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer constituting the facing of the sanitary product of the present invention has an ethylene content in the range of 40 to 60 mol% and an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 0.055 to 0.085 l. /g of polymer. If the ethylene content of the polymer is less than 40 mol%, the thermal stability of the polymer will deteriorate, the melt viscosity will increase, and infusible matter (gel-like matter) will be generated, making it difficult to use a stable melt-blown method. A good nonwoven fabric cannot be produced because spinning cannot be performed, good fiber flow cannot be formed, or particulate matter such as undissolved particles increases in the nonwoven fabric. On the other hand, when the ethylene content increases beyond 60 mol%,
Rigidity, tensile properties, liquid absorption properties unique to polyvinyl alcohol,
Liquid diffusibility and heat resistance are reduced, and the nonwoven fabric has an undesirable polyolefin-like or wax-like feel. Additionally, ethylene is suitable for producing flexible non-woven fabrics.
The saponified vinyl acetate copolymer has an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 0.055 to 0.08 when measured with a polymer solution! M/g range of polymers. This intrinsic viscosity [η] is 0.055f2/
If the melt viscosity is less than This is undesirable because a large number of minute beads are mixed in, the strength of the nonwoven fabric is low and it loses its elasticity, and its heat resistance is reduced. On the other hand, if the intrinsic viscosity [η] exceeds 0.085Q/g and the viscosity becomes high, the melt blowing method cannot form a fiber stream of sufficiently thinned and oriented fibers, so the ultrafine fiber nonwoven with good uniformity cannot be produced. The resulting nonwoven fabric is not strong enough and has a rough and hard texture, making it unsuitable for use as a facing material that is soft and pleasant to the touch. Furthermore, since the facing of the sanitary product of the present invention is a non-woven fabric made of ultra-fine fibers, it is more opaque than ordinary fiber non-woven fabrics and has a high concealing effect, but if the facing is thin, it may not have a sufficient concealing effect. I can't get it. Therefore, the constituent polymer contains 0.3 to 2% by weight of titanium dioxide.
It is also preferable to add it and spin it into matte ultrafine fibers. Next, in the melt-blown spinning method of polymer, the spinning temperature is 27
0~300℃, carrier gas pressure (gauge pressure) 0.5~5
By spinning under the conditions of Kg/c-, ultrafine fibers with an average fiber diameter of 8 microns or less can be obtained, and a fiber stream with good uniformity can be formed. By collecting this fiber flow in the form of a sheet on a conveyor net, it is possible to obtain an ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric with good uniformity even if it is wide. The basis weight of this nonwoven fabric varies depending on the purpose of use of the sanitary product, and is thin for facings such as sanitary napkins and breast milk bats, and slightly thicker for facings such as diapers, but in general, the average weight is 10 to 60g/
When used as a two-layer laminated nonwoven fabric, the average basis weight of one layer of nonwoven fabric is 8 to 30 g/m.
The range is 2. Next, the obtained melt-blown ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is subjected to a treatment in which at least the surface that contacts the skin is densified so that only the contact portions of the fibers are bonded. That is, one or both sides of the collected microfiber nonwoven fabric is pressed with a roll or endless belt heated to a temperature that softens the fibers, thereby making the surface of the nonwoven fabric dense and bonding the contact areas of the fibers. In addition, a preferred method for processing the nonwoven fabric is an embossed roll or endless belt in which one surface of a roll used in a press machine is engraved with a vertical striped pattern in which deep concave portions and convex portions are arranged alternately at intervals of 0.7 to 2 mm. By using a belt, the nonwoven fabric is embossed with the embossing machine, and the strips A are strongly compressed and become transparent or translucent, and the strips B are weakly compressed or hardly compressed and remain opaque. A vertical striped pattern alternately arranged in the width direction is formed. As a result, the facing is flexible and stretchable, has good skin adhesion, and can improve absorption and diffusion of body fluids. The saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of the present invention may also contain other thermoplastic polymers, such as polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutylene, polyvinyl alcohol, nylon-6, nylon-66, and nylon-610. It is also possible to improve the physical properties of the nonwoven fabric as a facing material by mixing and spinning a polymer selected from polyesters such as polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate. Furthermore, the facing of the sanitary product of the present invention comprises a thermoplastic hydrophobic polymer fiber, for example, as a surface nonwoven fabric in contact with the skin.
Polyethylene terephthalate fiber, ethylene terephthalate copolymer fiber, polybutylene terephthalate fiber,
Thermoplastic hydrophobic polymer fibers selected from polypropylene fibers and thermal binder fibers, such as polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyethylene fibers/lipropylene composite fibers, polyethylene/polyester composite fibers, copolymerized polyester/polyethylene terephthalate composite fibers Using a mixed fiber nonwoven fabric obtained by RIm of thermoplastic hydrophobic polymer fibers with thermal binder fibers selected from A melt-blown nonwoven fabric made of a saponified copolymer or a polymer mainly composed of the copolymer and having an average fiber diameter of 8 microns or less is laminated as a lower layer,
Using the laminated nonwoven fabric as a facing is also effective in improving the texture and permeability of body fluids. The facing of the sanitary product of the present invention suppresses surface fuzz, has good surface shape retention, is flexible and stretchable, has good texture, skin-friendly properties, good absorption and diffusion of body fluids, and has good liquid return properties. This is a facing that has a high concealment effect and suppresses the amount of visible light. This facing is suitable as a facing for sanitary products such as diapers, sanitary napkins, breast milk vats, postpartum vats, incontinent vats, and cosmetic puffs.

Note that parts and percentages in the examples are by weight unless otherwise specified. In addition, the intrinsic viscosity [η] of the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of the present invention is determined by dissolving it in a mixed solvent of 85% phenol and 15% water and measuring it at a temperature of 30°C using a capillary viscometer. The viscosity [η] was determined using the following formula. η,, a++ (t-to)/lo-(t/1o)-
1(η)-Jimη, , /C where t is the solution flow time (seconds), to is the solvent flow time (seconds), and C is the concentration of the polymer (glo). 10 sheets of filter paper (manufactured by Toyo Roshi Co., Ltd., No. 5 filter paper) were stacked as a liquid absorbing material, the nonwoven fabric to be measured was placed on top of the filter paper, and 1 ml of physiological saline colored with red ink was dripped on top of it, so that water droplets appeared on the surface. Judgment was made based on the time required for the water to disappear. Example 1 A saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having an ethylene content of 47 mol%, a degree of saponification of 98 mol%, and an intrinsic viscosity [η) of 0.066 l/g was extruded. The melt blown die has a nozzle part with discharge holes of 0.3 mm in diameter arranged in a row at 1 mm intervals, and a nozzle part with a radius of 0.25 mm on both sides.
Using a die equipped with a slit for blowing out gas, the melt spinning temperature was 280°C, the discharge amount per hole was 0.2 g/min, the conveying air temperature was 28 Q'O, and the air gauge pressure was 1.5 kg/min.
The spun fibers were spun using the melt-blown method under the conditions of c-, and the spun ultrafine fiber stream was collected on the net of a belt conveyor net collection machine installed at a position approximately 25 cm from the die and running at a constant speed to obtain an average basis weight of 25 g. /m" melt-blown nonwoven fabric I was obtained. This melt-blown nonwoven fabric was examined under a scanning electron microscope (hereinafter referred to as S
When observed under 500 times magnification using an EM (abbreviated as EM), the average diameter of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric was about 4.7 microns. Further, although the nonwoven fabric was in a densely accumulated state, it had a soft texture. This melt-blown non-woven fabric has a crimped area of 20%, a linear pressure of 5 Kg/Cm, a roll temperature of 100°C, and a processing speed of 10%.
Pressing was performed with an embossing calendar roll at a speed of m/min to obtain a nonwoven fabric with a smooth surface and most of the fibers bonded together. Obtained: The nonwoven fabric had high strength, had a smooth surface and extensibility, so it was comfortable to the skin and felt good against the skin, and was completely opaque. The physiological saline absorption time of this nonwoven fabric was 0.9 seconds on average, which was good. When this microfiber nonwoven fabric was used for the facing of a sanitary bat, it felt good to the touch and comfortable to wear. Comparative Example 1 Ethylene content 49 mol%, degree of saponification 98%, intrinsic viscosity [
A saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of η)-0,092Q/g was subjected to melt-blown spinning using the same apparatus as in Example 41. However, sufficient spinability could not be obtained under the same conditions as in Example 1, so the spinning temperature was changed to 300°C, the conveying air temperature was 300°C, and the air gauge pressure was 5Kg/Cm. It was difficult to obtain fibers that were high and sufficiently fine, the thickness of the fibers was uneven, and even the thin fibers had an average diameter of about 1 micron, and it was not possible to obtain a flow of ultrafine fibers with good uniformity. The nonwoven fabric obtained was coarse and hard, and had a rough feel and was uncomfortable to the touch even when processed into a facing. An embossing roll engraved with a vertical striped pattern in which recesses and protrusions are arranged alternately at approximately 1 mm intervals was used, and the embossing roll temperature was 115°C.
The nonwoven fabric was embossed at a linear pressure of 2-5 Kg/cm and a processing speed of 10 m/min to form a vertical striped pattern in which strongly compressed stripes A and weakly compressed stripes B were arranged alternately in the width direction. An ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric was obtained. In this processed nonwoven fabric, most of the fibers in the strongly compressed strip A are bonded by thermocompression and become almost transparent, and in the weakly compressed strip B, most of the fibers on the surface are bonded but remain opaque. It is a non-woven fabric. The obtained nonwoven fabric was highly strong, flexible, and stretchable, so it had good skin adhesion and touch, and was highly opaque as a whole. The physiological saline absorption time of this nonwoven fabric was 0.7 seconds on average, and it had good liquid absorption and diffusivity. When this microfiber nonwoven fabric was used for the facing of a sanitary bat, it felt good to the touch and comfortable to wear, and had a fast liquid absorption rate. Example 3 Ethylene content 55 mol%, degree of saponification 98%, intrinsic viscosity [
η)-0,072 l/g of saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and 1 part of titanium dioxide were kneaded and subjected to melt-blown spinning using the same equipment and spinning conditions as in Example 1. The spinnability was good, and a melt-blown non-woven fabric with good uniformity and an average basis weight of 25 g/m'' was obtained, consisting of ultra-fine fibers with an average diameter of about 5 microns.This melt-blown non-woven fabric had a texture similar to that of a fabric made of cotton. The ultra-m fiber nonwoven fabric was engraved with the deep uneven pattern used in Example 2 using an emboss roll, and the roll temperature was 10°C.
Embossing was performed at a linear pressure of 3 kg/am. The obtained nonwoven fabric has high elongation cutting strength, is flexible and stretchable, has good skin adhesion, and has high stain hiding properties.The average saline absorption time of this nonwoven fabric is 0.8 seconds. It had good liquid absorption and diffusivity. When this ultra-fine fiber nonwoven fabric was used for the facing of a sanitary bat, it felt good to the touch and comfortable to wear, had a fast liquid absorption rate, and concealed the coloring caused by absorbed body fluids, causing no discomfort when worn. Ah I;. Example 4 55 parts of polyethylene terephthalate fiber with a fineness of 2 denier and a fiber length of 38 mm was mixed with 45 parts of a core-sheath composite fiber whose sheath component was a copolymer polyester and whose core component was polyethylene terephthalate as a thermal binder fiber, and randomly Dry web I with an average basis weight of 10 g/m'' was made using Univar. On the other hand, the ethylene content was 43 mol%, the degree of saponification was 98 mol%,
A saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity of [η)-0,062Q/g was melted using an extruder, and a nozzle part in which discharge holes with a diameter of 0.3 mm were arranged in a row at 1 mm intervals in a melt-blown die was prepared. , convergence 0.25 on both sides
Using a die equipped with a mm-thick gas ejection slit, the melt spinning temperature was 280°C, the discharge amount per hole was 0.2 g/min, and the conveying air temperature was 280'C! , air gauge pressure 1.
5 Kg/cm" using the melt procon method to produce ultrafine fibers with an average fiber diameter of 4.4 microns.
The ultrafine fiber stream was collected on the net of a belt conveyor net collector installed at a position approximately 25 cm from the wire and running at a constant speed to obtain a melt-prone nonwoven fabric ■ with an average basis weight of 13 g/m. , the dry web I was placed on the surface of the melt-prown nonwoven fabric ■, and the laminated nonwoven fabric was embossed using an embossing roll engraved with a vertical striped pattern in the same manner as in Example 2, thereby integrating the laminated nonwoven fabric and forming a vertical striped pattern. When a sanitary napkin was made using this facing material and a wear test was conducted, it felt even better on the skin and had better absorption and diffusion of body fluids.
