The present invention relates generally to nonwoven materials, and
specifically, to a nonwoven fabric comprised of at least three continuous
filament precursor webs, each precursor web being of a thermoplastic
polymer dissimilar from the other precursor webs, wherein the resulting
durable nonwoven laminate fabric exhibits improved tactile and ductile
qualities, as well as improved tensile strength, the nonwoven fabric
being eminently suitable for application in improving the comfort and use
of hygiene, medical and industrial products.
