Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0632147A2] Disclosed is a fiber for nonwoven fabrics having thermowelding strength equal to or higher than 5 N and/or flexibility index greater than 800, comprising a polymer material additivated with organic phosphites and/or phosphonites, HALS, and optionally phenolic antioxidants, said polymer material being selected from: 1) isotactic propylene homopolymers having an isotactic index greater than 90; 2) random copolymers of propylene with ethylene and/or a C4-C8 alpha -olefin; and 3) blends of polymers (1) with copolymers (2) or blends of at least one of said homopolymers and copolymers with heterophasic propylene polymers; said fiber being obtained by a spinning process operating with a real or equivalent output hole diameter of less than 0.5 mm and with a hole flow-rate ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 g/minute, at a spinning temperature ranging from 230 DEG C to 320 DEG C, using polymers (1), or (2), or polymer blends (3), having MFR from 5 to 40 g/10 min, and in the absence of a drawing step.
