Abstract
The invention relates to fibers, particularly binder fibers, made from copolyesters and the copolyesters themselves. The copolyesters of the invention are generally formed from 1,3- or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, ethylene glycol and isophthalic acid or esters thereof and at least one dicarboxylic acid selected from terephthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,3- or 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid or esters thereof. Such copolyesters may be formed into a variety of products, especially binder fibers for nonwoven fabrics, textile and industrial yarns, and composites.
