HELICALLY CRIMPED, SHAPED, SINGLE POLYMER FIBERS AND ARTICLES MADE THEREFROM.

摘要

There is provided a nonwoven fabric for use in personal care absorbent articles where the fabric is made from single polymer, helically crimped fibers. Such a fabric provides economical production since it uses only one polymer. These fabrics have superior void volume and resilience and are useful in a number of applications, including as outercovers, liners, surge layers and even as an absorbent core.
