Abstract: A carded nonwoven (110) including synthetic staple fibers (120), wherein the synthetic staple fibers have a hydrophilic polypropylene-based composition, said hydrophilic polypropylene-based composition having a polypropylene-based matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer additive and a hydrophilic melt additive is disclosed.

Abstract: An absorbent article including a durably hydrophobic carded nonwoven (110) in particular as topsheet or acquisition layer is presented. The nonwoven has synthetic staple fibers (120) that include a hydrophilic polypropylene-based composition. The hydrophilic polypropylene-based composition has a polypropylene-based matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer additive, and a hydrophilic melt additive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biologically degradable multi-component polymer fibre, in particular bi-component fibres, with advantageous physical properties, to a process for its production, as well as to its use.

Abstract: A carded calendered nonwoven comprising synthetic staple fibers. The synthetic staple fibers comprise a polypropylene polymer matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer and a fatty acid amide. The nonwovens of the present disclosure may be used in application where a soft and affordable nonwoven is desired, for example disposable absorbent articles, such as pants or diapers.

Abstract: An absorbent article such as a diaper comprising as component a carded calendered nonwoven comprising synthetic staple fibers, wherein the synthetic staple fibers comprise a polypropylene polymer matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer and a fatty acid amide, and optionally natural fibers. The nonwovens may be used in application where a soft and affordable nonwoven is desired, for example in the topsheet or backsheet outer cover nonwoven.
