Patent ID: 10059081

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to fibers, nonwoven fabrics, and nonwoven laminates comprising a blend of at least one impact copolymer and at least one propylene-based elastomer. The blends comprise from about 45 to about 85 wt % of an impact copolymer, where the impact copolymer comprises a blend of a propylene homopolymer and a copolymer comprising from about 20 to about 80 wt % propylene-derived units and from about 20 to about 80 wt % ethylene-derived units. The blends further comprise from about 15 to about 55 wt % of a propylene-based elastomer, where the propylene-based elastomer comprises from about 5 to about 25 wt % units derived from one or more C2 or C4-C12 alpha-olefins and has a triad tacticity greater than about 90% and a heat of fusion less than about 75 J/g.
