Abstract

A porous non-woven fabric having a good dimensional stability and uniformity is prepared from a web obtained by arranging side-by-side composite fibers alone or a blend thereof with another fibrous material into a web and heat-treating the resulting web at a specified temperature, said composite fibers having few naturally developed crimps and being obtained by stretching unstretched side-by-side composite fibers consisting of a polypropylene component and an olefin polymer component having a specified melting point and a specified melt flow rate.
