Wettable polymer fibers, compositions for preparing same and articles made therefrom

摘要

Wettable fibers or filaments prepared from a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer having incorporated therein a first wetting agent and a second wetting agent, wherein the thermoplastic polymer is preferably selected from the group consisting of olefin polymers, and wherein the first wetting agent is at least one water-insoluble, nonionic alkoxylated alkylphenol and wherein the second wetting agent is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an alkoxylated fatty alcohol and a water-soluble, nonionic, non-hydrolyzable polyoxyalkylene-modified organosilicone polymer.
