The present invention is a meltblown fiber and a fabric manufactured from the fiber comprising reactor grade polypropylene having a melt flow rate of from 100 to 5000 and having less than 50 stereo defects per 1000 units. Further, the polypropylene is typically produced from a metallocene catalyzed process, the metallocene being at least one bridged 2,4 di-substituted indenyl metallocene in one embodiment, and a bridged 4-phenyl indenyl metallocene in another embodiment. The metallocene is part of a system that can include a fluorided support and a non-coordinating anion activator. |
