  • Soft extensible nonwoven webs containing fibers with high melt flow rates
    Publication number: 20050170727
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polymer composition that enables a nonwoven web to possess high extensibility. The polymer composition comprises a polypropylene having a melt flow rate of from about 100 to about 1000 grams per 10 minutes and a second polymer having a melt flow rate of from about 10 to about 80 grams per 10 minutes. Additionally, the present invention provides low denier fibers that possess softness and enable the formation of nonwoven webs with high extensibility.

  • Soft extensible nonwoven webs containing multicomponent fibers with high melt flow rates
    Publication number: 20050164587
    Abstract: The present invention provides nonwoven webs comprising multicomponent fibers that enable the nonwoven web to possess high extensibility. The multicomponent fibers will comprise a first component comprising a polypropylene composition having a melt flow rate of from about 100 to about 2000 grams per 10 minutes and a second component comprising a polymer composition having a melt flow rate lower than the melt flow rate of the first component. The first component comprises at least about 10% of a surface of the multicomponent fiber.
