摘要:
High loft nonwoven webs including a population of substantially continuous mono-component melt-spun filaments, wherein the nonwoven web exhibits a Solidity of less than eight percent with a weight normalized cross direction (CD) tensile greater than 10 Newtons per 100 grams per square meter of web weight (10 N / 100 gsm), and wherein the nonwoven web is substantially free of gap-formed fibers, crimped fibers, staple fibers, and bi-component fibers. High loft spun-bond nonwoven webs can be advantageously used in filtration articles. Methods of making high loft spun-bond nonwoven webs, and filtration articles including high loft spun-bond webs made according to the methods, are also disclosed.
摘要:
A molded respirator is made from a monocomponent monolayer nonwoven web of continuous charged monocomponent meltspun partially crystalline and partially amorphous oriented fibers of the same polymeric composition that have been bonded to form a coherent and handleable web which further may be softened while retaining orientation and fiber structure. The respirator is a cup-shaped porous monocomponent monolayer matrix whose matrix fibers are bonded to one another at at least some points of fiber intersection. The matrix has a King Stiffness greater than 1 N. The respirator may be formed without requiring stiffening layers, bicomponent fibers, or other reinforcement in the filter media layer.
