The invention is related to fibers, particularly binder fibers, made of copolyesters and the copolyesters themselves. The copolyesters of the invention are generally formed of the glycol component containing 1,3- or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and ethylene glycol and at least one dicarboxylic acid component. Such copolyesters may be formed in a variety of products, especially binder fibers for nonwoven fabrics, textiles and industrial and composite threads. |
