  • Publication number: 20230233966
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electret fiber sheet that has high collection performance and that is suitably used in an air filter, etc. The present invention is an electret fiber sheet configured from polyolefin-based resin fibers comprising a polyolefin-based resin composition containing a high-crystalline polyolefin resin and a low-crystalline polyolefin resin, wherein the mass ratio of the low-crystalline polyolefin resin in the polyolefin-based resin composition is 0.5-10 mass % (inclusive) relative to the total mass of the high-crystalline polyolefin-based resin and the low-crystalline polyolefin resin, and a hindered-amine-based compound is included in the electret fiber sheet in an amount of 0.1-5.0 mass % (inclusive).

  • Patent number: 9691935
    Abstract: An impurity-diffusing composition including (A) a polysiloxane represented by Formula (1) and (B) an impurity diffusion component. In the formula, R1 represents an aryl group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, and a plurality of R1 may be the same or different. R2 represents any of a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, an acyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, and a plurality of R2 may be the same or different. R3 and R4 each represent any of a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and an acyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and a plurality of R3 and a plurality of R4 each may be the same or different. The ratio of n:m is 95:5 to 25:75.
