Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023275165A1] A multi-component binder fiber for heat bonded nonwoven used in cushion members. A first component of the multi-component fiber comprises a first thermoplastic polymer, and a second component of the multi-component fiber comprises a second thermoplastic polymer. The second thermoplastic polymer is a block-copolymer. The block-copolymer is a co-polyester polyether comprising first blocks of a polyester and second blocks of an aliphatic polyether. The polyester in the first blocks comprises residues of a first alkylenediol, residues of terephthalic acid (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid), and residues of isophthalic acid (benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid). The aliphatic polyether in second blocks comprises residues of a second alkylenediol. The melting point of the first thermoplastic polymer is at least 200°C. Further, the molar ratio of residues of terephthalic acid to residues of isophthalic acid in the first blocks of the polyester is 2:1 to 4:1 and the molar ratio of residues of the first alkylenediol of the polyester to the residues of the second alkylenediol of the aliphatic polyether is at least 1:1.
