摘要 |
<p>The present invention comprises a binder fiber containing a metallocene catalyzed polyethylene (mPE) and an adhesion promoter. A web comprising the binder fiber and absorbent is also contemplated. The present invention also comprises a binder fiber containing polyolefin, an adhesion promoter, and an enhancement agent. The polyolefin may be polypropylene, high density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, or ultra low density polyethylene, manufactured with either Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalysts. A web comprising this binder fiber and absorbent is also contemplated. The adhesion promoter may be maleic anhydride grafted polyolefins, or ethylene-acrylic copolymers, or a combination of these. The enhancement agent may be one or more of titanium dioxide, talc, silica, alum (aluminum sulfate), calcium carbonate, and magnesium oxide.</p> |
