<p>A nonwoven fabric made of composite fibers which comprises a polyethylene resin (A) having a higher melting point of 120 to 135°C and a lower melting point of 90 to 125°C, the lower melting point being lower by at least 5°C than the higher melting point, and a high-melting resin (B) having a melting point higher by at least 10°C than those of the resin (A) and in which the (A)/(B) weight ratio is 50/50 to 10/90 and the resin (A) continuously extends in the lengthwise direction so as to cover at least part of the fiber surface. The composite fibers are preferably of the core-sheath type or side-by-side type. This nonwoven fabric has not only excellent pliability but high strength and is hence suitable for use in hygienic materials.</p> |
