The present invention relates to fibers, in particular as-spun fibers, having improved properties, in particular improved mechanical properties. In particular, the present invention relates to fibers comprising metallocene polypropylene having a broader molecular weight distribution. The present invention also relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising the fiber and a process for producing the fiber and nonwoven fabric. The fibers and nonwovens of the present invention are characterized by improved properties, in particular improved mechanical properties, compared to the prior art fibers and nonwovens. |
