    Cellulose fibers with hydrophobic properties and high softness and the associated manufacturing process
    The present invention relates to cellulosic fibers having hydrophobic properties exhibiting more softness and bulkiness, and a process for their preparation.
    Cellulosic man-made fibers are known for their hydrophilic, water-absorbing properties. In contrast, synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene are inherently hydrophobic, that is, they do not absorb water in their interior.
    Some natural fibers, such as cotton, contain natural waxes that protect plants in nature and make the fiber hydrophobic. As a rule, these waxes are removed to obtain an absorbent, soft cotton fiber for processing in textiles and nonwovens.
    Viscose and modal fibers are produced by the viscose process. Such fibers are given the generic names viscose and modal fibers by BISFA (International Standardization Office for Synthetic Fibers).
    More recently, the "amine oxide process" or "lyocell process" has become established as an alternative to the viscose process in which cellulose, without formation of a derivative, is dissolved in an organic amine oxide solution, especially N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) becomes. Cellulosic fibers made from such solutions are also referred to as "solvent spun" fibers and have been given the generic name Lyocell by BISFA (International Standards Office for Synthetic Fibers).
    Other man-made cellulosic fibers may be made by chemical processes (eg, the copper-ammonia process) or by other direct solvents, such as, for example, the like. As ionic liquids are produced. For hygiene applications, synthetic fibers such as polyesters are commonly used because they improve bulk, hiding and softness in nonwoven and textile applications.
    For environmental reasons, cellulose fibers, especially man-made cellulose fibers, are becoming more and more important because they are made from renewable raw materials and are biodegradable. As a result, there is an increasing demand for cellulosic fibers that are soft, hydrophobic and biodegradable at higher bulk.
    The aim of the invention is to produce hydrophobic cellulose fibers which are biodegradable and water repellent. The fibers mentioned are particularly soft and have a higher bulk in nonwovens.
    This object is achieved by a cellulose fiber containing a hydrophobic surfactant, and the fiber is characterized in that the softness of the fiber determined by the sled test is at least 1.3 times higher than the softness of an untreated one Man-made cellulose fiber of the same type.
    It may be natural cellulose fibers such as cotton or synthetic cellulose fibers such as viscose, modal fibers or lyocell.
    The man-made cellulose fibers can also be physically modified a). In terms of shape (Trifobalfasem, Multilobalfa-fibers) or length (flock, endless yarn). b) have incorporated materials, such as color pigments, flame retardants, ion exchange resins or carbon blacks. c) be chemically modified, such as. B. Modal fibers or crosslinked fibers.
    In the context of this invention, "untreated fiber" means a fiber whose surface has not been modified. In a straight-spun fiber, i. H. For a fiber that has never been dried, the fiber is initially unmodified. Commercially available fibers usually contain a softening finish, which must be completely removed to obtain an unmodified surface prior to hydrophobic treatment. "Same type" means a fiber of the same type, yarn size and length.
    As the hydrophobizing agent, use is made of alkyl or alkenyl ketene dimer (AKD) as shown in formula (1), wherein R 1 and R 2 are hydrocarbon groups having between 8 and 40 carbon atoms, which may be both saturated and unsaturated, straight-chain and branched.

    Similar effect formulations are substituted cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides such as substituted succinic or glutaric anhydrides and the like.
    The preferred alkyl ketene dimers are prepared from acid chlorides, for example, by the methods described by R. Adams, Org. Reactions Vol. III, p. 129, John Wiley & Sons Inc. NY 1946 or J.C. Saner; Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 69, p. 2444 (1947).
    Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) is used in the paper industry to improve the water repellency of surfaces, e.g. B. in food packaging to improve. AKD is known for use in paper sizing as in GB 2 252 984 A and EP 0 228 576 B1. The common use of AKD and alkyl succinic acid is described in WO99 / 37859. AKD is usually used in the wet end of a paper machine.
    A process for the production of cellulose fiber having hydrophobic properties is characterized by the following steps: a) providing a cellulose fiber with unmodified surface b) treating the cellulose fiber with a hydrophobic agent
    The hydrophobic agent can be applied in man-made fiber production; that is, after the fiber has already formed and is washed but before it dries, d. H. Fibers that were never dried. In this case, the surface is not modified.
    If commercially available cellulose fibers with avivage are used, they must be removed.
    Hydrophobic agents, such as the AKD formulations, are commercially available (eg, the Hydrores® compounds sold by Kemira). The most common formulations are about 5-25% active compounds. In these cases formulation A is an acidic solution mH about 10-12% active ingredients and formulation B is an acidic emulsion having about 20-22% active compounds.
    The cellulosic fibers are preferably treated with the AKD formulation in a concentration of 0.0001% to 10%, preferably 0.001% to 5%, more preferably 0.001% to 3%.

    General procedure
    Experiments were carried out with Lenzing Viskose, Tencel and cotton. Table 1 shows the most commonly used fiber types. The hydrophobic agents used were AKD formulations such as Kemira's Hydrores®. The commercial formulations were diluted with water to obtain the concentrations shown in the examples: AKD 1 means that the AKD solution used for the treatment was prepared from Formulation A, AKD 2 means that the AKD used for the treatment Solution from Formulation B was prepared.

After stirring for 30 minutes, the fibers are centrifuged until they have a liquid content of about 50%, then they are dried at 70 ° C in a desiccator until they have a liquid content of 6%. The resulting fibers are bulky, soft and have hydrophobic properties.

    Sled test:
    The softness of the fiber was determined by the sled test described in EN 1202 PPS. The main components of the test are: 5 g fiber samples are taken and carded twice with the MTDA-3-Rotoring Kadier The fibers are conditioned according to the EDANA instructions (ERT 60.2-99) for at least 24 hours and cut after the sample plate. The material is placed in the test machine and a slide (carrying a weight of 2000 g) is mounted and placed on the sample. The test starts and after 10 seconds it is measured what force is needed to pull the slide.
    The softer the fiber surface, the less force is needed to pull the slide.
    In order to compare the softness of different samples, the ratio of the required pulling force of treated fiber samples to the drawing force of a similar commercial sample, with the possibility of removing the finish, was calculated. For example, in Table 2, it is seen that the softness of the hydrophobic agent-treated viscose fiber is 2.23 times higher than a comparable commercial product.

    The test results show that even cellulose fibers treated with low levels of the hydrophobic agent are softer by a factor of 2 to 2.5 compared to unvulcanized man-made cellulose fibers and 1.7 to 2 times larger than corresponding man-made cellulosic commercial fibers.
    The results in Table 4 show that the treatment with the hydrophobic agent is as effective with lustrous fibers as with matte fibers, different denier fibers and multilobate cross-section fibers.

    A third series of tests evaluated the effects of hydrophobic agents on cotton (Table 5):
    Table 5: sled test results for treated cotton

    Although commercial bleached cotton with additional finishing is softer than the natural, unbleached counterpart, the cotton loses its hydrophobic properties. The use of a hydrophobic finish allows the hydrophobic properties to be maintained while giving a fiber that is 1.4 times as soft as the naturally occurring product, and very similar to the commercial bleached and softened cotton type.
    The material can be processed with all modern nonwoven techniques, such as needling, hydroentanglement and air laid. Even conventional textile processing is possible.
    The innovative fiber can be used for a variety of applications, especially in the nonwoven sector, including:
    Biodegradable wipes with high softness and higher bulkiness or household wipes with improved static properties,
    Tampons, in particular for the wrapping material with great softness and low friction resistance or the Rückholfädchen, in the medical field, for example, for blood- and liquid-repellent blankets and (OP) outerwear and for face masks, in the technical field, for example in the car interior, hydrophobic coatings of Car seats, geotextiles and agricultural textiles, for filtration, in particular of oil or for the removal of grease, in flock, dispersion of paints and as reinforcing fibers in textile home textiles applications, e.g. As fillings, upholstery and bedding, comforters, down comforters, pillows, mattresses, disposable blankets, in sports ais wool-like fabric, especially for extremely soft double seam, and in the field of animal clothing and animal pillows.
    nonwovens
    Another object of this invention is to produce lower density, higher softness nonwoven fabrics which are suitable for many applications. The treated fibers can be processed using the most advanced nonwoven techniques, for example needling, hydroentanglement and air laying. The treated fibers are particularly well suited due to the exceptional bond strength between AKD and regenerated cellulose fibers, which withstands the relatively high stress of hydroentanglement. nachgerbcht PL0511 9/18
    Nonwovens and woven nonwovens of this invention are characterized by containing hydrophobic cellulose fibers according to this invention. The fabric may be made from either hydrophobic cellulosic fibers or any blend of viscose, tencel, polyester or other fibers used in nonwoven fabric manufacture.
    To demonstrate the advantages of this invention in nonwoven fabric properties, a series of samples was prepared using the needlelength and hydroentanglement technology tested for flexural strength and handle-o-meter testing for softness and pliability and bulkiness. The needled materials were made on a pilot plant made by Tee Tex (Italy) and processed into 60 g / m2 and 120 g / m2 nonwoven webs, respectively, ranging from 100 to 200 needling per unit and needle depth between 16 and 18 mm needled. Hydroentangled fabrics were produced in a pilot plant at NIRI with a basis weight of 55 gsm.
    The bending stiffness was tested according to EDANA WSP 90.5 (05) on the basis of the bending length. In this test, a fabric strip is fixed at one end, at the other end it remains free and is supported by a horizontal platform. The fabric strip is slid over the edge of the platform until the front end of the sample slides across the edge to a horizontal angle of 41.5e. At this point, the overhanging length is twice the bending length of the sample so that the bending length can be calculated , The flexural strength is measured by the WSP method in four ways: for the front and back of the fabric in both the machine direction and the cross direction. The values are averaged and compared to fabrics of comparable weight made from untreated fibers.
    The Handle-O-Meter tests were performed according to WSP 90.3.0 (05). In this test, the nonwoven fabric to be tested is deformed by a restricted opening of a valve piston and recorded the necessary force. The lower the force required, the softer and more flexible the fabric.
    Bulk is calculated by basis weight (WSP 130.1 (05)] and thickness [WSP 120.6 (05)] measured by EDANA methods.
    For all tests, results for each control fabric were normalized from untreated fibers and then expressed as a percentage. For all tests, a percentage below 100 indicates an improvement in this property, e.g. B. lower bending length, lower bending stiffness, a lower force required in the handle O-meter test or

    Examples of needled fabrics:
    Example F:
    Never dried viscose fibers 1.7dtex / 40mm were treated according to Example B with a 0.5% AKD solution. The dried fibers were processed to produce nonwovens having a nominal basis weight of 60 g / m 2 and 120 g / m 2, respectively.
    Example G:
    Never dried Tenc fibers 1.7dtex / 38mm were treated according to Example D with a 0.5% AKD solution. The dried fibers were processed in a needling pilot plant to produce webs having a nominal basis weight of 60 gsm and 120 gsm, respectively.
    Table 6 shows the results for softness / flexibility in needled fabrics according to Examples F and G.
    In all threads, the use of treated fibers results in webs that are 17% to 61% softer and more pliable than non-treated standard fiber webs. The match between flexural stiffness and Handle-O-Meter tests is good.

    Examples of needled nonwovens
    Fibers after Samples B and D were processed into nonwoven pilot webs having a nominal basis weight of 55 gsm. Both pure fabrics and blends were made with commercial viscose and Tencel. Tables 7 and 8 show the effects on softness of the fabric as measured by the Handle-O-Meter. The use of treated fibers has particularly significant effects on the softness and flexibility of the fabric as measured by the Handle-O-Meter; 100% treated fiber provides a 50% improvement in softness.

    By adding even small amounts of treated fiber, the fabric softness as measured by the Handle-O-Meter is significantly improved, the softness increases as more fibers are blended (Table 8):

    Treated fiber webs are more bulky than webs made of the same untreated fibers and usually allow a 10% reduction in basis weight for the same thickness for a needled web (Table 9).

    When untreated fibers are 100% replaced by treated fibers, the bulk is increased by more than 25% (Table 10):

    Low admixtures of treated fibers up to 5% also increase the bulkiness of the web (Table 11):

    Overall, nonwovens according to the invention show greater softness and are characterized in that the flexural rigidity (stiffness) of the nonwoven fabric is at least 15% but up to 49% lower than the stiffness of nonwovens made of comparable untreated fibers.
    It has also been found that nonwoven fabrics of this invention have less bulk under the same conditions as compared to untreated fibers, with bulk being reduced by as much as 25% as compared to 100% treated fibers.
    Cellulose or Nonwoven Fabrics Treated with Hydrophobic Agents It is also possible to produce cellulosic fibers from man-made standard cellulose fibers or bleached cotton by means of the hydrophobizing agent, provided that the finish is first removed on the fiber. For needle-punched fibers, the finish can be removed in a separate step before it is peeled off or after it has been applied. This method is useful when a completely hydrophobic fabric is needed.
    Example H:
    From commercially available standard Tencel or standard viscose nonwovens are produced, which are placed in a 0.1% strength AKD 2 solution and stirred. After 5 minutes, the samples are taken out, squeezed and placed in a desiccator at 70 ° C for drying. The resulting fleeces are completely water-repellent and soft. Softness is measured by the previously described Handle-O-Meter method compared to untreated nonwovens; the results are shown in Tables 12 and 13. The softness of nonwoven fabrics treated with the hydrophobic agent is about 50% of the softness of untreated standard needled nonwoven fabrics.

    Biodegradability / compostability:
    Needled webs (selected from those for measuring softness and bulk - see Tables 6 and 9) of fibers treated with AKD were cut into 3 x 4 cm pieces, weighed and then covered with soil. After 2 weeks, 1 month and 2 months, samples were taken and weighed to check biodegradability. After two months, all samples were completely degraded. The results are shown in Table 14.

    The tests according to ASTM D 6400 {or DIN EN ISO 14855 or DIN EN 14046) have shown that a material is biodegradable if all organic components can be decomposed into different chemical structures, which are also present as natural degradation products.
