Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a nonwoven fabric comprising within the range of from 1 to 49 wt %, by weight of the fabric, of a reactor grade propylene-α-olefin copolymer possessing; within the range of from 5 to 35 wt %, by weight of the copolymer, of units derived from one or more of ethylene and/or C4 to C12 α-olefins; a melt flow rate (230° C./2.16 kg) within the range of from 600 to 7500 g/10 min; and a weight average molecular weight of less than 200,000; and a second polypropylene having a melting point, Tm, of greater than 110° C. and a melt flow rate (230° C./2.16 kg) within the range of from 20 to 7500 g/10 min; wherein the fabric has a Handle value of less than 60% (measuring the fabric of 35 g/m2 basis weight). The fabric can be used in structures comprising one or more layers of the fabric described herein, and can include any number of other fabric layers made from other materials.
