WIPING CLOTH MADE OF NONWOVEN FABRIC AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A wiping cloth made of nonwoven fabric of which water-absorbing property is superior and deteriorates less with age is provided. This wiping cloth made of nonwoven fabric is obtained using specific splittable conjugate fibers. The splittable conjugate fibers are formed by sticking a polyester polymer component A containing polyoxyalkyleneglycol of 2000 to 20000 in mass average molecular weight and a polyolefin polymer component B not compatible with said polymer component A together. Fibers A composed of the polymer component A and fibers B composed of the polymer component B are formed by exfoliating the sticking of the splittable conjugate fibers. Plasma treatment is applied to exfoliated faces of the fibers A and the fibers B. The water-absorbing property is largely improved due to synergism of polyoxyalkyleneglycol and plasma treatment applied to the exfoliated faces of the fibers A and B.
