Composite nonwoven fabric for protective clothing and production method thereof
View Patent ↗The composite nonwoven fabric for protective clothing of the present invention comprises (A) a water vapor-permeable, water-resistant nonwoven fabric made of polyolefin-based ultra-fine fibers having an average fiber diameter of 5 μm or less, (B) a heat-bonding nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic elastomer ultra-fine fibers, and (C) a porous fabric. The nonwoven fabric B is interposed between the nonwoven fabric A and the porous fabric C, and the fabrics A, B and C being integrally bonded to each other. The composite nonwoven fabric is suitable for a protective clothing because it is water vapor-permeable and water-resistant on its outer side to be exposed to outside air, and is of high strength, sweat-absorbable and antistatic on its inner side, and also well-balanced in these properties.
1. A composite nonwoven fabric for protective clothing, comprising:
(A) a water vapor-permeable, water-resistant nonwoven fabric made of polyolefin-based ultra-fine fibers having an average fiber diameter of 5 μm or less;
(B) a heat-bonding nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic elastomer ultra-fine fibers; and
(C) a porous fabric, wherein the porous fabric is a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric comprising 100% of rayon fibers or a 30/70 to 70/30 by mass polyester fiber/rayon fiber mixture;
the nonwoven fabric B being interposed between the nonwoven fabric A and the porous fabric C, and the fabrics A, B and C being integrally bonded to each other.
2. The composite nonwoven fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the water vapor-permeable, water-resistant nonwoven fabric A is a meltblown nonwoven fabric.
3. The composite nonwoven fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the water vapor-permeable, water-resistant nonwoven fabric A is made from a colored masterbatch.
4. The composite nonwoven fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-bonding nonwoven fabric B is a meltblown nonwoven fabric made of polystyrene-based thermoplastic elastomer ultra-fine fibers, ultra-fine fibers of a mixture of a polystyrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin resin, or polyolefin-based thermoplastic elastomer ultra-fine fibers.
5. The composite nonwoven fabric according to claim 1 , which is made into a protective clothing.
