Description
United States Patent 3,396,071 NON-WOVEN POLYPROPYLENE FABRICS Peter John Couzens, Harrogate, England, assignor to Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, London, England, a corporation of Great Britain No Drawing. Filed Mar. 2, 1964, Ser. No. 348,796 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Mar. 25, 1963, 11,698/ 63 3 Claims. (Cl. 161-150) This invention relates to non-woven products, in particular to non-woven paper-like fabrics composed of stereoregular polyolefine fibres.
It is known to produce felts and non-woven fabrics from artificial, in particular synthetic organic, fibres by processes involving preparation of a mat or batt of intermingled fibres and consolidation of this mat or batt in presence of a binding agent which may be a different fibre, a particulate solid or a solution or dispersion of the binder. It is also known to produce felt-like sheets from mixtures of oriented and unoriented polyester fibres, the latter acting as the binder fibres, as for example is described in British patent specifications 808,287 and 844,- 760. Such felt-like sheets, however, are not entirely satisfactory because heat treatment, which is usually part of the consolidation process, causes embrittlement of the unoriented polymer fibres leading to a reduced life of the product in use.
I have now found that non-woven paper-like fabrics can be produced without the use of dissimilar binding agents and without the disadvantages attendant upon embrittlement during the manufacturing process.
According to my invention I provide non-woven paper-like fabrics consisting wholly of stereoregular polyolefine fibres comprising at least by weight of undrawn stereoregular polyolefine fibres and up to 90% by weight of drawn stereoregular polyolefine fibres, said undrawn and drawn fibres having the same molecular structure.
The products of this invention are thin coherent sheets which may be transparent, translucent or opaque depending upon the processing conditions, i.e., the proportion of undrawn to drawn fibres used and the presence or absence of pacifiers therein. Paper-like fabrics are also sheet materials but these have a smooth, fibrous appearance.
By undrawn stereoregular polyolefine fibres I mean polyolefine fibres produced by melt or solution spinning of the polymer, not subjected to an additional cold drawing process and having a birefringence of less than 10- and an extension at break of more than 100%.
By drawn stereoregular polyolefine fibres I mean polyolefine fibres which have been oriented substantially fully and which have a birefringence above 10- an extension at break of less than 70% and a free shrinkage at 140 C. of at least 10%.
Any stereoregular olefine polymer which can be melt or solution spun into fibres, preferably having a denier per filament of less than 10, may be used to produce the non-woven products of this invention. For example linear polyethylene, isotactic or syndiotactic polymers of such olefines as propylene, isobutylene or 4-methyl-pentene-l and crystalline copolymers of olefines having a stereoregular structure, may be used to produce fibres suitable for use in the invention.
The non-woven paper-like fabrics of this invention are prepared by blending the undrawn and drawn fibres, for example by carding the cut fibres or by other mechanical means if uncut fibres are used, an appropriate mixture, which may contain polyolefine fibres of different chemical composition in the undrawn or drawn forms, of the drawn and undrawn fibres and hot compressing a mat or batt of the fibres either between the heated platens of a press or continuously by passage one or more times between the heated rollers of a calender. In either case for the production of satisfactory products the pressures should exceed 0.2 ton per square inch or 0.1 ton per inch width for the press and calender respectively. The surface temperature of the platens of the press or the heated bowl or bowls of the calender is dependent upon the polymer or polymers comprising the mat or batt but is suitably about l060 C. below the melting point of the lowest melting component.
I have found, surprisingly that the presence or absence or crimps in the polyolefine fibres used to produce the non-woven products of this invention is unimportant in that satisfactory products of high strength have been produced from fibres having little or no crimp. The prodnets of this invention will have pleasing aesthetic properties and good physical properties, in particular high tear and tensile strengths, find many outlets as for example as packaging materials, wall coverings, carpet tbackings, reinforcement for plastic articles, electrical insulation or apparel.
The following examples illustrate the invention but do not limit the scope thereof.
EXAMPLE 1 lsotactic polypropylene is melt spun through a 72-hole spinneret held at a temperature of 285 C. and the extruded filaments, wound up at 4,000 feet per minute, have the following properties:

Instron tensile tester using a specimen S 0.5 cm. and a breaking length of 5 cm.
The sheet is not embrittled by heating between glass plates at C. for 30 minutes.
EXAMPLE 2 Isotactic polypropylene is melt spun through a 72- hole spinneret at 268 C. and the extruded filaments, wound up at 520 feet per minute, have the following properties;
