Abstract:
The present invention relates to crosslinked, olefin elastic fibers where the olefin materials are specifically selected to provide a more robust fiber with higher tenacity and greater temperature stability. Such fibers will be less subject to breakage during fiber spinning and post-spinning (downstream processing) operations including spool formation and unwinding. The specific olefin material used is a blend having an overall melt index (I2) of less than 2.5 g/10 min before crosslinking with a density in the range of 0.865 to 0.885 g/cm3. One component of the blend will be characterized as having either a density in the range of from 0.855 to 0.88 g/cm3 or a residual crystallinity at 80° C. of greater than 9 percent but not both. The at least one other component will meet at least whichever characteristic the first component does not meet.

Compositions having good wrinkle resistance and other properties when made into garments an be made from an ethylene multi-block copolymers. The resulting fabrics and garments often have good chemical resistance, heat-resistances, and are dimensionally stable.
Abstract:
Knit fabric compositions have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. Said fibric compositions comprise fibers of olefin block interpolymers or homogeneous branched ethylene polymers or a combination thereof. The fibers are characterized by an amount of crosslinking such that the fabric is capable of being molded.
Abstract:
A fiber is obtainable from or comprises a blend of a propylene based polymer and an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer characterized by an elastic recovery, Re, in percent at 300 percent strain and 1 cycle and a density, d, in grams/cubic centimeter, wherein the elastic recovery and the density satisfy the following relationship: Re>1481−1629(d). Such interpolymer can also be characterized by other properties. The fibers made therefrom have a relatively high elastic recovery and a relatively low coefficient of friction. The fibers can be cross-linked, if desired. Woven, knitted or non-woven fabrics can be made from such fibers.
