That is, a net-like elastic body in a relaxed state and a non-stretchable base material having relatively low stretchability such as PE and EVA-containing film are partially or discontinuously bonded, and the partially bonded body is When the base material is stretched under a high tension in a range of the allowable elongation of the base material to a necessary degree, the non-bonded portion of the base material portion is stretched while causing a larger permanent deformation as compared with the bonded portion. When tension is removed from such a stretched joint body and the elastic body portion is relaxed, a stretchable elastic composite body is obtained. This material has begun to be applied to elastic bandage bands, etc., but has a relatively low degree of elasticity to obtain a uniform elastic composite, and is industrially excellent for producing a material having elasticity in the length direction of the sheet. It is a method.

Sheet-like elastic bodies such as styrene-butadiene block polymer film and polyolefin-based elastomer film can be used, but considering the adhesiveness with cost base material, EVA, ultra-low density LLDPE, ethylene-propylene elastomer, ethylene・ Polyolefin elastomer such as methyl acrylate elastomer alone or synthetic rubber thereof, styrene ethylene butadiene ・
A coextruded film of a blend of styrene block polymer (SEBS) or a polyurethane elastomer and a polyolefin elastomer is preferable. These polyolefin elastomers are characterized by low resin costs, easy melt extrusion molding, and industrially extremely inexpensive materials. Also with respect to the bonding with a base material described later, the bonding property is very good by thermocompression bonding, ultrasonic bonding or the like.
Moreover, what is important is that these polyolefin elastomers are extremely difficult to use as a single film. That is, the melting point is low, and so-called self-adhesion is likely to occur due to the property of the elastomer. Even if a single film is formed to obtain a rolled film, self-adhesion easily occurs at room temperature and stable unwinding is performed. Is extremely difficult. If you want to do this,
It is necessary to store, transfer, and store the film at a low temperature of 30 ° C or less during winding, and it is extremely difficult to handle as a single film. Therefore, it is difficult to use it for consumer products. Has been.

Of. Note that the elastic body used in the present invention does not need elasticity in the sheet direction in which the polymer is easily oriented, and only needs elasticity in the lateral direction. In this sense, the merit in production is further emphasized.

The non-woven fabric obtained by weaving filaments and tows has the above-mentioned properties and can be used as the base material of the present invention. On the contrary, a non-woven fabric having a small random difference between MD and CD and having a high randomness, for example, a spun-bonded non-woven fabric which is melt-spun, a non-woven fabric formed by a cross-wrapper web, etc., has a stable CD direction, and thus the object of the present invention.

As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 4 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, the elastic body and the base material are continuously coupled in the MD direction of the sheet (A portion), and there is a discontinuity in the CD direction of the sheet. It is necessary to have and combine (B). The joint portion A is a joint portion between the base material and the elastic body, and this portion is a fixing portion between the base material and the elastic body, and at the same time, the strength of the elastic body is reinforced by the base material. In the non-bonded portion B, it is necessary that the base material and the elastic body are not joined, or even if the joining is performed, the portion B is in a weakly joined state as compared with the portion A. The part B is a part that is expanded by the expansion operation described later, and the part A needs to be in a stable bond state that does not separate by the expansion, but the part B is in a state that does not hinder the extensibility as much as possible. is necessary.

Is advantageous. The most preferable method is a method of completing the bonding with the non-woven fabric during the manufacturing process of the elastic body, which means, for example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, solvent extrusion of the raw material elastomer resin as the elastic body and cooling rolls. When the film is formed, the non-woven fabric as the base material is united, and then passed through a grid roll, and the grid portion is converted into the joint portion A by the pressure strengthening of the grid portion. At that time, it is also effective to bring the grid roll into a heated state. Next, the abundance ratio of A and B, which is rolled up into a product, and a desirable state will be described later. FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram of this manufacturing apparatus.

弾性複合体は100%以上は伸長できないし得られる弾
性複合体は100%以内での範囲の伸縮弾性を持つこと
になる。A detailed explanation will be given on the third important requirement, that is, how to stretch a bonded body of an elastic body and a base material to develop a good elastic composite. The elastic performance of the elastic composite according to the present invention depends on the degree of elongation of the elastic body and the base material. This principle will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, the elongation limit point is defined as the elongation degree immediately before reaching the breaking elongation, and if the elongation limit point of the elastic body is 200% and the elongation limit point of the nonwoven fabric that is the base material is 100%, the elasticity becomes as shown in FIG. The composite cannot be stretched by 100% or more, and the elastic composite obtained has a stretch elasticity within the range of 100%.

である。If the extension limit point of the elastic body is 200% and the extension limit point of the non-woven fabric as the base material is 250%, the elastic composite has a stretch elasticity of 200% as shown in FIG. Therefore, in order to obtain a more desirable elastic composite, it is understood how the optimum selection of the elastic body and the base material and the stretching condition thereof are important. FIG. 9 is a model showing the relationship between the physical properties of the elastic body, the physical properties of the base material, the physical properties of the bonded composite body, and the elongation limit point.

%、より好ましくは250%以下である。The degree of elongation generally used as an elastic body is in the range of 50% to 200% (1.5 times to 3 times).
If it is less than 0%, the elongation is insufficient. On the other hand, although many elastic bodies have a breaking elongation of 500% or more, the elongation range that can be put to practical use is 280 in consideration of elastic recovery.
%, More preferably 250% or less.

性、伸長限界点である225%伸長できれば225%以
下の伸縮弾性を有することになる。The extension limit point of the elastic composite is determined by comparing the extension limit point of the base material with the extension limit point of the elastic body, and the extension limit point of the lower numerical value determines the extension limit point of the elastic composite. Therefore, it is necessary to make the best use of the performance of the elastic body in order to increase the stretch elasticity as much as possible, and this is the reason why the extensibility in the CD direction of the base material is increased. In the example of FIG. 9, the extension limit point of the base material is 22
5% is the limit capacity of the elastic composite. However, even with such a potential, if the elongation is lowered, as shown in FIG. 10, if the elongation is only 100%, the elastic elasticity is 100% or less, and if the elongation is 150%, the elastic elasticity is 150% or less. If it can be expanded by 225%, it will have elastic elasticity of 225% or less.

すべて容易に解決ができる。One of the important effects is the covering effect of the elastic body by the base material, and the soft feel and safety of the non-woven fabric can reduce chemical and physical irritation to the skin surface of the human body. The expected effect is that the elastic body is strengthened and stabilized by the presence of the joint portion due to the compounding. However, if the number of joints (A) increases, the composite strength will increase, but the elastic elasticity will decrease. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the numerical value of the joint portion (A) and the ratio of the joint portion (A) and the non-joint portion (B), that is, A / (A
+ B) × 100 (%) is required to be appropriate. A must have a width of 0.5 m / m or more, preferably 1 m / m
m to 10 m / m, more preferably 2 m / m to 5 m / m. If it is 0.5 m / m or less, cutting and separation easily occur. Further, the ratio represented by A / (A + B) × 100 (%) is required to be 50% or less, and when it exceeds 40% to 50%, the elasticity of the composite elastic body is greatly reduced. Will be done. Furthermore, the expected effect is to handle and contribute to stabilization in processing.
The elastic body is easily affected by the tension in the process, and it is extremely difficult to handle such as winding and unwinding. Particularly, in the case of a polyolefin elastomer having a low melting point, self-adhesion is likely to occur and industrial handling is very difficult. However, all of these problems can be easily solved by forming a composite with a non-woven fabric.

There are melt blown nonwoven fabrics such as "Septon". Moreover, what is important is that the above-mentioned polyolefin-based elastomer is a material that is extremely difficult to use as a single film. That is, the melting point is low, and so-called self-adhesion is likely to occur due to the property of the elastomer. Even if a single film is formed to obtain a rolled film, self-adhesion easily occurs at room temperature and stable unwinding is performed. Is extremely difficult. In order to make this possible, even when forming and winding the sheet,
It is necessary to perform storage, transfer and storage at a low temperature of 30 ° C. or lower, and it is a material that is extremely difficult to handle with a single film, and therefore it has been considered difficult to use as a consumer product.
