POLYETHYLENE BICOMPONENT FIBRES

摘要

Thermobondable bicomponent synthetic fibres comprising two different polyethylene components, a high-melting first component comprising a high density polyethylene with a density of more than 0.945 g/cm<3>, typically at least 0.950 g/cm<3>, and a low-melting second component comprising a linear low density polyethylene with a density of less than 0.945 g/cm<3>, typically 0.921-0.944 g/cm<3>; a method for producing the fibres; and non-woven fabrics produced from the fibres. The fibres are particularly suitable for the preparation of thermally bonded non-woven fabrics for medical use and for non-wovens having superior softness.
