  • Improved abrasion resistance of nonwovens
    Publication number: 20060234588
    Abstract: An extruded web material comprises a conjugate fiber including first and second fiber portions. The first fiber portion extends substantially continuously along the length of the conjugate fiber and comprises a first thermoplastic polymeric material. The second fiber portion extends substantially continuously along the length of the conjugate fiber and defines at least a portion of a conjugate fiber exterior surface. The second fiber portion comprises a second thermoplastic polymeric material. At least one of the first fiber portion or the second fiber portion further comprises a thermoplastic adhesive component. The extruded web material is produced by spunbonding or meltblowing. The extruded web material can also be included in a composite article.
