Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides: a non-woven fabric for a sterilization packaging material, the non-woven fabric being capable of being compatible with all sterilization treatment methods and maintaining a sterile state in the interior without breaking even in a variety of environments in which the non-woven fabric can be assumed to be used as a sterilization packaging material; and a non-woven fabric for a sterilization packaging material, the non-woven fabric achieving both easy-peel properties that enable easy handling without breakage and barrier properties for retaining the sterile state in the interior.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material having a fiber layer (I) with a void percentage of 30% to 60%, as a surface layer heat seal surface, and a fiber layer (II) with a fiber specific surface area of 1.0 m 2 /g to 10 m 2 /g and a 1 cm-equivalent thread count of between 800 and 1,000,000 per 1 mg, as a barrier layer, wherein the fiber layer (I) and the fiber layer (II) are layered and a surface coverage of 50% to 95% and the heat seal strength of the fiber layer (I) is 8 N/25 mm to 23 N/25 mm. 2. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the fibers composing the fiber layer (II) are polypropylene fibers. 3. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber diameters of the fibers composing the fiber layer (I) are 5 μm to 30 μm, and the fiber diameters of the fibers composing the fiber layer (II) are 0.05 μm to 5 μm. 4. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber diameters of the fibers composing the fiber layer (I) are 5 μm to 20 μm. 5. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , which includes at least one layer of the fiber layer (I) and at least two layers of the fiber layer (II). 6. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the total basis weight is 20 g/m 2 to 100 g/m 2 . 7. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the gas permeability in a Gurley gas permeability test is 0.1 sec/100 mL to 100 sec/100 mL. 8. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the gas permeability in a Gurley gas permeability test is 0.1 sec/100 mL to 20 sec/100 mL. 9. The nonwoven fabric for a sterilization packaging material according to claim 1 , wherein the total thickness is 50 μm to 300 μm.
