Definitions
- This invention relates to a nonwoven material suitable to be used as the base sheet for a cleaning and disinfecting wipe, and, more particularly, to an essentially pure cellulose nonwoven web formed from essentially continuous filaments and multibonded by merged filaments, hydrogen bonding and physical intermingling of the filaments, providing the dimensional stability, hard surface cleaning ability, disinfectant and cleaning solution holding capacity and ability to release said solutions during use.
- This invention further relates to additional bonding of this web alone, or to other webs or materials through hydroentangling to enhance these key performance properties needed in a cleaning and disinfecting wipe.
- essentially pure cellulose shall address the fact that cellulosic moulded bodies, e.g. made according to the lyoceli process, always contain a small amount of polymers other than cellulose, namely hemicellulose. This does not influence in any way the suitability for the use according to this invention.
- U.S. 4,448,704 discloses the use of paper, textile or nonwoven substrates for cleaning wipes.
- U.S. 4,666,621 describes the use of a chemically bonded nonwoven for use a cleaning wipe substrate.
- U.S. 4,659,609 describes the use of meltblown thermoplastic nonwovens for use in cleaning wipes.
- U.S. 7,517,556 teaches the use of a surface coated nonwoven substrate with a basis weight less than 300 grams/metre 2 for use as a cleaning wipes substrate.
- nonwovens with absorbent cellulosic webs to fo m a high strength, high abrasion resistant cleaning wipe The nonwoven substrate for cleaning and disinfecting wipes has been the subject of much research and even today is not an optimal product.
- a cleaning and disinfecting wipe must both clean and disinfect; this requires a material with high wet strength as well as high abrasion resistance and must drape well to meet consumer expectations, must be able to hold sufficient cleaning and disinfecting solution, and must dispense this solution evenly over a sufficient area. Additionally, this substrate must be able to remove
- U.S. 4,666,621 provides strength and absorbency, but abrasion resistance is minimal and the chemical binder leaves a visual residue on the cleaned surface.
- U.S. 4.659.609 provides strength and abrasion resistance, with no residue to cause streaks, but its thermoplastic composition minimizes liquid holding capacity and dispensing consistency.
- U.S. 7,517,556 adds an abrasive coating to an absorbent nonwoven, but this coating affects
- U.S. 7,091 ,140 and U.S. 7,455,200 describe the commercially preferred nonwoven technology used today for cleaning and disinfecting wipes: A composite structure of absorbent celiulosic material with a spunlaid thermoplastic nonwoven on the surface.
- the spunlaid provides abrasion resistance, cleaning ability, and strength, while the celiulosic web provides liquid holding capacity. There are no residual materials to leave streaks. But the spunlaid thermoplastic cannot hold liquids and must be added incrementally above the weight of celiulosic material required for this. This adds cost.
- the spunlaid thermoplastic nonwoven has an undesirable feel to the consumer, even wet.
- Spunlaid thermoplastics are based on petroleum or natural gas, nonrenewable resources and are not biodegradable or com ostable. A growing global concern about micro-plastic particles contaminating the environment further negatively impacts this product's sustainability.
- the present invention relates to the use of specially designed nonwoven substrates produced using novel variants of the spunlaid nonwoven process, comprising 100% cellulose polymers.
- U.S. 8, 191.214, U.S. 8,263,506 and U.S. 8,318,318 all teach methods for producing and using spunlaid cellulose webs. But none of these teach either production methods for or products addressing the specific substrate requirements for cleaning and disinfecting wipes
- cleaning and disinfecting wipes have consisted of a substrate (either paper, textile or nonwoven) and a cleaning solution (either pre-loaded or applied separately). These cleaning solutions are mainly aqueous solutions containing quaternary ammonium salts.
- Paper towels and sprayed cleaning and disinfecting solutions combine a substrate with poor wet strength, abrasion resistance and absorbency with a solution application which has neither consistency nor any method of applying the correct amount to a surface.
- Preloaded pre-moistened cleaning and disinfecting wipes remove much of the uncertainty.
- the correct amount of solution is added to each wipe.
- the substrate has higher absorbency and wet strength than a paper towel.
- nonwovens are used as substrate for cleaning and
- disinfecting wipes including airlaid, spunlace, carded, needlepunch and spuniaid.
- spunlace The best technology today and the most widely used substrate commercially by far is spunlace.
- SP spunbond/pulp
- Standard spunlace uses carded webs as precursors; these carded webs are formed, and then bonded using high pressure water jets (i.e. hydroentangled).
- high pressure water jets i.e. hydroentangled
- Standard spunlace is very widely available with consistent quality, and is widely used in cleaning and disinfecting wipes for this reason. This is a compromise product, with minimally acceptable wet strength, abrasion resistance, absorbency, liquid dispensing properties and is usually not biodegradable or compostable nor based 100% on renewable resources.
- Spunbond/pulp (SP) spunlace is the product of choice and considered "state of the art" for cleaning and disinfecting wipe substrate, but is limited in availability and consistent quality is often lacking.
- This product combines a pre-manufactured spuniaid nonwoven with a pre-formed cellulose web (either airlaid or wetlaid), then bonds them together using high pressure water jets (hydroentangling).
- These products add spunlatd thermoplastic nonwoven to the surface to add abrasion resistance, but at the expense of absorbency capacity, drape and cost as well as sustainability. They use a cellulose web for absorbency, but at the expense of strength and abrasion resistance. This is another compromise product, but at an overall higher level in most important properties needed for a cleaning and disinfecting wipe.
- Such a nonwoven material to be used as a cleaning and disinfecting wipe substrate is designed to be a sustainable and cost effective nonwoven with high wet strength, abrasion resistance, absorbency, uniform liquid dispensing, consumer pleasing drape, and no residual chemicals/streaks.
- nonwoven material will provide both high strength and high absorbency and liquid handling properties, and is a sustainable product.
- the degree of merged filament bonding also results in a range of filament diameters and cross-sections being present. This characteristic enables additional cleanabiltty versus nonwoven webs with a tight range of fiber and/or filament diameters.
- the inventive nonwoven material is further bonded or treated by a hydroentanglement process. It surprisingly still has acceptable consumer acceptable drape and softness while it still can be loaded with a cleaning and disinfecting solution, has high wet strength and abrasion resistance, is absorbent and dispenses absorbed liquids uniformly, and is compostable and based on renewable resources.
- the first cellulosic nonwoven web is preferably made according to a lyocell process
- Cellulosic fibres can be produced by various processes.
- a lyocell fibre is spun from cellulose dissolved in N-methyl morpholine -oxide (NMMO) by a meltblown process, in principle known from e.g. EP 1093536 B1 , EP 2013390 B1 and EP 2212456 B1.
- meltblown it will be understood that it refers to a process that is similar or analogous to the process used for the production of synthetic thermoplastic fibres (filaments are extruded under pressure through nozzles and stretched to required degree by high velocity/high temperature extension air flowing substantially parallel to the filament direction), even though the cellulose is dissolved in solution (i.e.
- the web is formed by a spun bonding process, where filaments are stretched via lower temperature air.
- spunbonded synthetic fibres are longer than meltblown synthetic fibres which usually come in discrete shorter lengths. Fibres formed by the solution blown lyocell process can be continuous or discontinuous depending on process conditions such as extension air velocity, air pressure, air temperature, viscosity of the solution, cellulose molecular weight and distribution and combinations thereof.
- the fibres are contacted with a non-solvent such as water (or water/NM O mixture) by spraying, after extrusion but before web formation.
- a non-solvent such as water (or water/NM O mixture) by spraying, after extrusion but before web formation.
- the fibres are subsequently taken up on a moving foramtnous support to form a nonwoven web, washed and dried.
- Freshly-extruded lyocell solution ('solvent spun', which will contain only, for example, 5-15% cellulose) behaves in a similar way to 'sticky' and deformable thermoplastic filaments. Causing the freshly-spun filaments to contact each other while still swollen with solvent and with a 'sticky' surface under even low pressure will cause merged filament bonding, where molecules from one filament mix irreversibly with molecules from a different filament. Once the solvent is removed and coagulation of filaments completed, this type of bonding is impossible.
- coagulation liquor i.e. a liquid which is able to cause coagulation of the dissolved cellulose; in a lyocell process this preferably is water or a diluted solution of N MO in water, is applied to control the merged filament bonding.
- the amount of merged filament bonding is directly dependent on the stage of coagulation of the filaments when the filaments come into contact. The earlier in the coagulation process that the filaments come into contact, the greater the degree of filament merging that is possible. Both placement of the coagulation liquor application and the speed at which the application liquor is applied can either increase, or decrease, the rate of coagulation. Which results in control of the degree (or amount) of merged filament bonding that occurs in the material.
- the merged filament bonding is further controlled by filament spinning nozzle design and arrangement and the configuration and temperature of filament extension air.
- the degree of molecular alignment that is present as the solution exits the spinning nozzle has an impact on the coagulation rate. The more aligned the molecules are, the faster the coagulation rate, and conversely, the less aligned the molecules are, the slower the coagulation rate.
- the spinning nozzle design and arrangement, along with the molecular weight of the cellulosic raw material used will determine the starting coagulation rate at the exit of the spinning nozzle. Additionally, the rate of cooling (temperature decrease) of the solution upon spinning nozzle exit will impact the coagulation rate as well.
- At least two spinnerets also known as jets
- spinnerets preferably between two and ten, and further preferred between 2 and 6, each one arranged to form a layer of nonwoven web
- spinnerets are used to obtain a multilayer nonwoven material.
- the filaments are spun using a solution of cellulose in an aqueous amine oxide and the coagulation liquor is water, preferably with a content of amine oxide not being able to dissolve cellulose, also referred to as a lyocell process; the manufacture of such a solution is in principle known, e.g. from U.S. 6,358,461. U.S. 7,067,444, U.S. 8.012,565. U.S. 8, 191 ,214, U.S.
- the present invention describes a cellulosic nonwoven web produced via a meltblown or spunbond-type process.
- the filaments produced are subjected to touching and/or compaction and/or intermingling at various points in the process, particularly before and during initial web formation.
- Contact between filaments where a high proportion of solvent is still present and the filaments are still swollen with said solvent causes merged filament bonding to occur.
- the amount of solvent present as well as temperature and contact pressure controls the amount of this bonding.
- the amount of filament intermingling and hydrogen bonding can be limited by the degree of merged filament bonding.
- This is the result of a decrease in filament surface area and a decrease in the degree of flexibility of the filaments.
- the degree of merged filament bonding increase, the amount of overall surface area is decreased, and the ability of cellulose to form hydrogen bonds is directly dependent on the amount of hydroxyl groups present on the cellulosic surface.
- filament intermingling happens as the filaments contact the forming belt The filaments are traveling at a faster rate of speed than the forming belt. Therefore, as the filament contacts the belt, it will buckle and sway side to side, and back and forth, just above the forming belt.
- the filaments will intermingle with neighboring filaments If the filaments touch and merge prior to the forming belt, this limits the number of neighboring filaments by which it can intermingle with. Additionally, filaments that merge prior to contacting the forming belt with not have the same degree of flexibility as a single filament and this will limit the total area over which the filament will buckle and sway.
- the nonwoven material is dried prior to subsequent bonding/treatment.
- the percentage of each type of bonding is controlled using a process with up to two compaction steps, where one of these compaction steps is done after step d. of the inventive process where the spun filaments are still swollen with a solvent, and one of these compaction steps is done before or in step e. of the inventive process where all or most of the solvent has been removed and the web has been wet with water.
- control of the coagulation of the spun solution is a factor in controlling the degree of merged filament bonding.
- This preferred embodiment concerns decreasing the coagulation rate to a state where additional compaction steps can be used after filament laydown to further increase the actual amount of merged filament boding that is achievable. It might be helpful to view the maximum achievable filament bonding as the state where we have merged all filaments into an essentially film-like structure.
- the present invention describes a process and product where merged filament bonding, physical intermingling and hydrogen bonding can be controlled independently.
- the degree of merged filament bonding can limit the degree of physical intermingling and hydrogen bonding that can occur.
- process conditions can be adjusted to optimise these bonding mechanisms between iayers This can include modifying ease of delamination of layers, if required.
- bonding/treatment steps may optionally be added. These bonding/treatment steps may occur while the web is still wet with water, or dried (either fully or partially).
- bonding/treatment steps may add additional bonding and/or other web property modification.
- These other bonding/treatment steps include hydroentangling or spun!acing, needling or needlepunching, adhesive or chemically bonding.
- various post- treatments to the web may also be applied to achieve specific product performance.
- post-treatments it is possible to apply finishes and other chemical treatments directly to the web of this invention during production which will not then be removed, as occurs with, for example, a post-treatment hydroentanglement step.
- Varying the degree of merged filament bonding provides unique property characteristics for nonwoven cellulose webs with regards to softness, stiffness, dimensional stability and various other properties. Properties may also be modified by altering the degree of physical intermingling before and during initial web formation. It is also possible to influence hydrogen bonding, but the desired effect of this on web properties is minor. Additionally, properties can be adjusted further by including an additional
- bonding/treatment step such as hydroentangling, needlepunching, adhesive bonding and/or chemical bonding.
- Each type of bonding/treatment provides benefits to the nonwoven web.
- hydroentangling can add some strength and soften the web as well as potentially modifying bulk density; needling is typically employed for higher basis weights and used to provide additional strength: adhesive and chemical bonding can add both strength and surface treatments, like abrasive material, tackifiers, or even surface lubricants.
- the present invention allows independent control of the key web bonding features, merged filaments, intermingling at web formation, hydrogen bonding and optional additional downstream processing. Manipulation of merged filament bonding can be varied to predominantly dictate the properties of the nonwoven web.
- the nonwoven material contains a second layer, consisting of a celluiosic nonwoven web, which is essentially formed of essentially continuous filaments, pulp fiber or staple fiber, is formed on top of the first celluiosic nonwoven web, and subsequently both layers are hydroentangled together.
- a celluiosic nonwoven web which is essentially formed of essentially continuous filaments, pulp fiber or staple fiber, is formed on top of the first celluiosic nonwoven web, and subsequently both layers are hydroentangled together.
- One useful advantage of two layers is that one layer can be higher density, and have a more abrasive surface and clean a surface better (“scrubby layer”) while the other is lower density, and more absorbent (“absorbent layer”).
- Another useful advantage of a dual-layer structure is that one layer can be designed to provide the tensile strength, while another layer can be designed to provide the absorbency, cleanability, or other desired attribute.
- the nonwoven material contains a third layer, consisting of a celluiosic nonwoven, which is essentially formed of essentially continuous filaments, pulp fiber or staple fiber, is formed on top, and subsequently all three layers are hydroentangled together
- a third layer consisting of a celluiosic nonwoven, which is essentially formed of essentially continuous filaments, pulp fiber or staple fiber, is formed on top, and subsequently all three layers are hydroentangled together
- another useful advantage is to have one outer layer as high density for cleaning a surface ( "scrubby layers”), another outer layer to have a high surface area for excellent active ingredient distribution with the center layer designed to have a high absorbent capacity.
- one or more of the celluiosic nonwoven layers within the nonwoven material, if formed of essentially continuous filaments, are made according to a iyocell process.
- the Iyocell process allows for use of a sustainable raw material (pulp) and provides a final filament with high purity (very low residual chemicals).
- a two-layer material according to the invention either both layers consist of essentially continuous filaments, made according to a lyocell process, or one layer consist of essentially continuous filaments, made according to a lyocell process, and the second layer consist of pulp fiber.
- a three-layer material in particularly preferred embodiments of a three-layer material according to the invention either all three layers consist of essentially continuous filaments, made according to a lyocell process, or the two outer layers consist of continuous filaments, made according to a lyocell process, and the middle layer consist of pulp fiber.
- the nonwoven material contains a surface treatment chemical to improve the release of a preloaded cleaning lotion.
- This surface treatment chemical can be applied to any of the cellulosic web layers. It can be applied either to a layer before combining it with the other layer or layers or it can be applied to the material once all cellulosic web layers are combined.
- These surface treatments would consist of any chemistry that is designed to alter the polarity, or the tonic charge of the cellulosic filament and/or fiber surface and also designed to be compatible with the disinfecting and cleaning lotion. In particular suitable are the following substances: Chitosan.
- All disinfecting wipes contain both active and inert ingredients in their lotions.
- the active ingredients are the disinfecting chemicals.
- the most commonly used active ingredient chemicals today are quaternary ammonium compounds, alcohols, sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide. These are used either alone or in combination.
- An example for a commercially used composition is 0.184% n-alkyl (C M , 60% C 16 , 30% C 12 , 5% C 18» 5%) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride plus 0.
- n-alkyl C 14 , 32% C 12 . 68%) dimethyl ethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as its active disinfectant.
- Another example for a commercially used composition is 0.26% n-alkyl (C* , 50% Ci6, 10% Ci2, 40% ) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as its active disinfectant.
- Inert ingredients include buffers, pH adjusters, fragrances, emollients, surfactants, and water. These active ingredients can have a polarity, or ionic charge, that can be attracted to the cellulosic filament and/or fiber surface.
- the chemical treatment would be designed to alter the cellulosic filament and/or fiber surface such that the polarity and/or ionic charge are 0, or that they are opposite to that of the active ingredients. This will maximize the ability of the nonwoven material to release the active ingredient to the surface that is being cleaned and disinfected. It is known to one experienced in the art, that while the disinfectant or antimicrobial can kill the microbes responsible for compostability in very localized areas, they are rapidly deactivated in excess soil or moisture, and then will decompose normally, which still allows the nonwoven material to be biodegradable and
- Suitable solutions are in principle well known to the expert.
- That wipe can be packaged wet and ready for use. This provides a convenience product to the end consumers for quick cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces.
- wipe has high wet strength a d abrasion resistance, is absorbent and dispenses absorbed liquids uniformly and is based on renewable resources.
- Stilf another object of the present invention is to provide a compostable cleaning and disinfecting wipe, containing (a) a nonwoven material according to the above description as a base sheet and (b) a low moisture content cleaning and disinfecting solution.
- Suitable solutions are in principle well known to the expert.
- That wipe can be packaged dry and water activated just prior to use. This gives remarkable economic and handling advantages to the retailers as well as to the end consumers.
- wipe has high wet strength and abrasion resistance, is absorbent and dispenses absorbed liquids uniformly and is based on renewable resources.
- the nonwoven material of the compostable cleaning and disinfecting wipe is further bonded or treated by a hydroentangiement process. Undergoing this additional process enables a greater range of wipe functionality design.
- Such attributes as thickness, drape, softness, strength and aesthetic appearance can be tailored to meet specific wipe requirements.
- a 50 gram/square meter, one-layer nonwoven material composed of 100% essentially continuous filament cellulose being bonded by merged filaments, filament intermingling and hydrogen bonding, further subjected to a
- This essentially continuous filament cellulose nonwoven has the absorbency of conventional cellulose based nonwovens with the strength of a spunlaid nonwoven. It also comprises a broad range of filament diameter distribution and cross sections.
- Both samples were conditioned at 23°C ( ⁇ 2 C C) and 50% ( ⁇ 5%) relative humidity and wetted with water 3-fold (equilibrium time 2 h). Then they were used in MD for a wiping test picking up Nutelia from a plastic foil (spread 8x8cm, layer thickness 0.5mm). The wiping equipment simulates a real wiping movement with 550 g wiping pressure. Tests were repeated three times to obtain a representative average.
- the 50 gsm nonwoven material of the invention described in example 1 was further analyzed for water uptake and water delivery versus the commercial product of example 1.
- Water uptake was measured using an ATS (Absorbency Testing System ATS-600, of Sherwood Instruments, Inc., Lynnfieid, USA). With that the test sample (sample size round, diameter 5 cm, conditioned at 23°C ( ⁇ 2°C) and 50% ( ⁇ 5%) relative humidity) is supplied with water from the bottom and water taken up by the sample without having any hydrostatic pressure is evaluated. The measurement for each sample is stopped when the amount of water taken up is below 0.005g 20sec.
- ATS Absorbency Testing System ATS-600, of Sherwood Instruments, Inc., Lynnfieid, USA.
- Fig. 1 shows the water uptake speed, average of 5 measurements.
- Sample 1 is cellulosic, nonwoven material of the invention;
- sample 2 is the commercial sample (spunbond polypropylene, wet!aid pulp and hydroentangled) for comparison.
- Fig. 1 it can be seen that the fabric of the invention has a much faster average liquid uptake and levels off at a higher average end value than the commercial sample.
- the same nonwoven web samples were tested using the cleanability device explained in example 1 to assess their water delivery to a plastic foil during wiping movement, giving an indication about delivery of water based disinfecting lotions to surface.
- the test demonstrates that on one hand the fabric of the invention shows superior liquid uptake properties, giving fast converting speeds, and on the other hand it retains the ability to deliver liquid to surfaces which is important for the disinfecting process.
- a 65 gram/square meter nonwoven material of the invention is hydroentangled and preloaded with a cleaning and disinfecting solution.
- the fabric of the invention has added drape and softness without sacrificing strength or absorbency properties.
- a composite nonwoven material consisting of the nonwoven web of the invention, also manufactured in accordance with EP 2 013 390 B1 plus a pulp web are hydroentangled. This provides lower cost without sacrificing strength or absorbency properties of the nonwoven material.
- a 65 gram/square meter nonwoven material of the invention with or without hydroentangling is coated with a surface treatment chemical (also called a "release agent " ) designed to release the active cleaning and disinfecting chemicals from the wipe's lotion, providing consistent active ingredient delivery. Surprisingly this was achieved without sacrificing absorbency properties, strength, drape or softness.
