The present invention is a meltblown fiber and a fabric manufactured from
the fiber comprising reactor grade polypropylene having a melt flow rate
of from 100 to 5000 and having less than 50 stereo defects per 1000
units. Further, the polypropylene is typically produced from a
metallocene catalyzed process, the metallocene being at least one bridged
2,4 di-substituted indenyl metallocene in one embodiment, and a bridged
4-phenyl indenyl metallocene in another embodiment. The metallocene is
part of a system that can include a fluorided support and a
non-coordinating anion activator.
