Abstract
A nonwoven web of meltblown microfibers formed of a composition of polyethylene and at least one component added to provide processing stability to the polyethylene component. The meltblown web can be produced at high polymer throughputs and exhibits good barrier properties. The meltblown web is useful as a component of a composite fabric, which can be used for barrier application in medical and industrial applications.
