Abstract: To provide a fiber assembly in which the durability of antibacterial property, especially the durability of antibacterial property against moisture is improved and there is provided a fiber assembly principally comprising polyolefin, wherein said fiber contains an antibacterial agent and a suspending agent, and has a branched structure.

Abstract: An ink jet printing paper which has a degree of bulk equal to or higher than that of non-coated paper, retains the same quality as that of coated type sheet with respect to surface smoothness, sharpness of print images, ink absorbability and water resistance, and shows improved ink strike-through and cockling while being bulky. The ink jet printing paper has an ink receiving layer provided on the base paper with the base paper containing synthetic fiber having a branched form.

Abstract: A laminate integrated by firmly jointing a heat-seal layer in web form made from a mixture of synthetic pulp having a branched configuration and synthetic short fiber to a substrate layer made from natural fiber. The synthetic pulp is made from a resin composition comprised of ethylene-&agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer and polyethylene. This laminate has a high degree of air permeability and exhibits a high heat-seal strength and good hot tack even at a temperature of 130° C. On account of said properties it is adequately used as heat-seal paper suited for filter use, in particular raw material paper for tea bags.

Abstract: A polypropylene resin composition capable of bringing about a non-stretched film superior in the transparency, in the impact resistance, in the low temperature heat-sealability and in the strength of heat-sealing, which composition comprises (A) a polypropylene resin, (B) a specific ethylene/&agr;-olefin random copolymer and (C) a specific propylene/ethylene/1 -butene random copolymer.

Abstract: A polyolefin synthetic pulp comprising a polyolefin resin graft-modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, and/or a polyolefin resin composition which comprises an ethylene/&agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer and a polyethylene resin. Further, there is provided a heat sealing paper comprising a base fiber layer whose at least one surface is laminated and integrated with a layer of the polyolefin synthetic pulp. This polyolefin synthetic pulp has a large breaking length and an excellent internal bond strength, and exhibits stable heat sealing and hot tack properties over a wide temperature range from low to high temperature. The polyolefin synthetic pulp is suitable to use in battery separators, molding fiberboards, heat sealing papers and the like.

Abstract: A laminating propylene/1-butene random copolymer composition comprising a propylene/1-butene random copolymer and a low-density polyethylene in a specified proportion. With respect to the propylene/1-butene random copolymer, the content of structural units derived from propylene, content of structural units derived from 1-butene, MFR, Mw/Mn and B-value as a parameter indicating the randomness of copolymer monomer chain distribution fall within specified ranges. With respect to the low-density polyethylene, the MFR and density fall within specified ranges. The invention also provides a composite film comprising a substrate film such as a crystalline polypropylene film and, laminated onto at least one side thereof, a resin layer of the above composition having a thickness of 2 to 200 &mgr;m. The above composition is excellent in laminate moldability and enables producing a composite film having excellent low-temperature sealing properties, blocking resistance and hot tack.
