  • Publication number: 20140135725
    Abstract: The object of the present disclosure is a non-woven of spunbonded thermoplastic filaments comprising in a characteristic way, at least 95% by mass (g) of its surface mass (g/m2) of at least two polypropylene A and B polymers, said filaments having a titer of less than or equal to 1.3 dtex, said non-woven having a surface mass of less than or equal to 35 g/m2, the welding rate being at least 10% and at most 25% and at least 88% by mass (g) of its surface mass (g/m2) of said polypropylene A polymer obtained by polymerization in the presence of at least one polymerization catalyst based on a metallocene and at most 12% by mass (g) of its surface mass of said polypropylene B polymer.

  • Patent number: 7960008
    Abstract: A loop material for a hook and loop type fastener is a composite nonwoven. The composite nonwoven consists of a loop layer, a backing layer, and a plurality of bond regions. The loop layer may be a carded nonwoven of thermoplastic crimped staple fiber. The staple fiber may be between 1.5 to 6.0 dTEX. The loop layer may have a basis weight of between 10 and 35 g/m2. The backing layer may be a spunbond or spunmelt nonwoven having a basis weight of 5 to 30 g/m2. The loop layer may be superimposed face-to-face with the backing layer. The plurality of bond regions joins the loop layer to the backing layer and rendering said bond regions substantially air impermeable. The bond regions comprise between 35 to 55% of a surface area of the loop material.
