A NON-WOVEN FABRIC COMPRISING FILAMENTS AND AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE USING THE SAME

摘要

A filament non-woven fabric comprises thermally adhesive conjugated filaments comprising a first component that contains not less than 20 weight % of ethylene-acrylic ester-maleic anhydride copolymer and that is formed in at least a part of the filament surface in the longitudinal direction of the filament, and a second component that is a crystalline thermoplastic resin having a melting point higher than that of the first component. At least the first component contains an inorganic powder and the content of the inorganic powder is 500 to 50 000 weight ppm with respect to filament. The present invention can provide the non-woven fabric comprising filaments which is excellent in the high adhesive property, low temperature adhesive property, adhesion property to other kinds of materials, hand feeling such as softness or touch, etc., and uniformity. Furthermore, the operating efficiency such as the spinning property is desirable. Absorbent articles can be made using the above-mentioned non-woven fabric comprising filaments.
