Patent ID: 7674734

Claim:
A nonwoven fabric obtained by forming a mixture comprising (I) a fiber obtained by producing a propylene based resin composition from (i) 1 to 40 weight parts of an isotactic polypropylene and (ii) 60 to 99 weight parts of a propylene/ethylene/α-olefin copolymer and spinning, and (II) a fiber obtained by producing a resin other than the propylene based resin composition and spinning, wherein said propylene/ethylene/α-olefin copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing 45 to 89 mole % of propylene, 10 to 25 mole % of ethylene and the balance of α-olefin having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the copolymerized amount of the α-olefin having 4 to 20 carbon atoms does not exceed 30 mole %.
