Abstract: The invention is contemplated for providing polyethylene-based fibers in which elution of metal from polyethylene is suppressed as much as possible. The invention relates to polyethylene-based fibers, composed of at least one kind of polyethylene resin, in which a total of content of metal elements such as Na, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn, Li, Al, Cr, Ni and Zn contained inside the fibers is 40 ppm or less. Moreover, the invention relates to a nonwoven fabric using the polyethylene-based fibers.

Abstract: A polyolefin-based splittable conjugated fiber which contains a peroxide and has a melt flow rate of at least 30 g/10 min, and a nonwoven fabric comprising split fibers obtained by splitting the splittable conjugated fiber, and an absorbent article using the nonwoven fabric in a part thereof. The polyolefin-based splittable conjugated fiber has good spinnability and good stretchability, and is easy to split. This invention further provides a nonwoven fabric that is soft and uniform and has a good formation, and an absorbent article using such a nonwoven fabric in a part thereof, by solving the difficulty in splitting for a polyolefin-based splittable conjugated fiber, which has been its conventional problem.

Abstract: The present invention provides a durable hydrophilic fiber and fabric using said fiber having superior durable hydrophilicity being able to utilize preferably in the medical or hygienic material sections. The durable hydrophilic fiber of the invention can be obtained by applying 0.2 to 1.5% by weight of a fiber treating agent to a thermoplastic fiber based on the thermoplastic fiber. The fiber treating agent contains at least 40% by weight of a mixture comprising 80 to 20% by weight of (A) betaine ampho-ionic surface active agent and 20 to 80% by weight of (B) di-carboxylic acid ester compound from polyalkylene adduct of hydroxy-fatty acid ester.
