  • Publication number: 20240158965
    Abstract: A bonded and entangled non-woven structure made of at least 50% staple fibers by weight of the bonded and entangled non-woven structure, and at least a partial bonding of the fibers of the non-woven structure. The at least partial bonding including thermally activated bonds between a first polyolefin material produced with a catalyst including at least one metallocene catalyst and having a melting point in the range 130-170° C. and a second material having a melting point which is at least 10° C. higher than the melting point of the first material, the weight of the first material in the non-woven structure being at least 3% of the weight of the nonwoven structure.

  • Publication number: 20200095708
    Abstract: A polypropylene composition is described having an MFI measured according to ISO 1133 for polypropylene of 1 to 3 g/10 min and a xylene soluble content in the range from 1 wt % to 4.5 wt % or 1.5 wt % to 4.5 wt %, which can be used to produce spun and drawn fibres having an average MFI measured according to ISO 1133 for polypropylene of 1 to 5 g/min, a xylene soluble content in the range from 1 wt % to 4.5 wt % or 1.5 wt % to 4.5 wt %, the spun and drawn fibres having an average elongation of at least 65% as measured by ISO 5079 with an adjusted testing speed of 80 mm/min, and/or an average tenacity/tensile strength of at least 56 c N/tex as measured by ISO 5079 with an adjusted testing speed of 80 mm/min.
