cellulose lenzing 39 s viscose rayon and any other suitable hydrophobic synthetic fibers known to those skilled in the art many polyolefins are available for fiber production for example polyethylenes such as dow chemical 39 s aspun u00ae 6811a liner low density polyethylene 2553 lldpe and 25355 and 12350 high density polyethylene are such suitable polymers the polyethylenes have melt flow rates respectively of about 26 40 25 and 12 fiber forming polypropylenes include kolon glotec 39 s t 1001 exxon chemical company 39 s escorene u00ae pd 3445 and montell chemical co 39 s pf304 other polyolefins are also available fibers having a lower melting polymer component like conjugate and biconstituent fibers are suitable for use as well such fibers include conjugate fibers of polyolefins polyamides and polyesters like the sheath core conjugate fibers available from kosa inc charlotte n c under the designation t 255 and t 256 natural fibers include wool cotton flax hemp and wood pulp wood pulps include standard softwood fluffing grade such as cr 1654 us alliance pulp mills coosa ala pulp may be modified in order to enhance the inherent characteristics of the fibers and their processability the bodyside layer of this invention is preferably made from a blend of hydrophilic fibers with a minor amount of hydrophobic fibers the hydrophilic fibers should be present in an amount from about 50 to 100 percent more particularly from 70 to 100 weight percent and still more particularly 80 100 weight percent the layer away from the body should have predominately hydrophobic.
