Abstract

The present invention is directed to a spunbond fiber comprising polyphenylene sulfide polymer having a zero shear viscosity at 300° C. of about 21,500 to about 28,000 Pa·s.

Claims (8)

1. A spunbond fiber, consisting of polyphenylene sulfide polymer having a zero shear viscosity at 300° C. of about 21,500 to about 28,000 Pa·s.

2. The fiber of claim 1 , wherein said polyphenylene sulfide polymer has a zero shear viscosity at 300° C. of about 22,500 to about 27,000 Pa·s.

3. The fiber of claim 2 , wherein said polyphenylene sulfide polymer has a zero shear viscosity at 300° C. of about 23,500 to about 26,000 Pa·s.

4. The fiber of claim 1 , wherein said fiber has an average fiber diameter of less than about 50 micrometers.

5. The fiber of claim 4 , wherein said fiber has an average fiber diameter of less than about 20 micrometers.

6. The fiber of claim 1 , wherein said fiber has a circular cross section.

7. The fiber of claim 1 , wherein said fiber has a multi-lobal cross section.

8. A web comprising the fiber of claim 1 .
