A spinneret assembly for sheath-and-core type composite fibers capable of corresponding to various spinning conditions, with a small degree of eccentricity of core component and a small quality variance and provided densely with a large number of spinning holes is provided, which assembly comprises a cap having two spinning liquid reservoirs for core component liquid and sheath component liquid partitioned by a partition wall; a filter; a first distribution plate having introducing holes for alternately distributing the liquids into subsequent distribution grooves; a second distribution plate having on its back surface, straight distribution grooves prepared by cutting in parallel and also having on its flat front surface, perforated liquid pressure control holes for leading the distributed liquids to a subsequent spinneret plate; a spinneret plate having on its flat back surface, perforated spinning holes having the common axes to the core component pressure control holes of the second distribution plate; and a spacer for forming a narrow clearance between the second distribution plate and the spinneret plate; the respective core component pressure control holes being located at a point of intersection of two diagonals of a square or rectangle formed by adjacent four sheath component pressure control holes.

Spinneret assembly

Polyolefin foamed fibers consisting of composite fibers having a good spinnability, a small fineness and a non-waxy feeling, and a process for producing the same are provided, which foamed fibers having a structure wherein only a composite component (B) dominantly forming the fiber surface of composite fibers along the direction of the fiber axis thereof is substantially foamed and a part of the resulting foamed cells are burst open on the fiber surface, and which process comprises adding a foaming agent only to the above component (B) and combining two composite components so that the composite ratio thereof is 30/70 or higher and the theoretical average thickness of the component (B) in the cross-section of the unstretched fibers is 2 to 15 microns.

Polyolefin foamed fibers and process producing the same

Non-woven fabrics having light weight, high strength, soft hand and not having any waxy feeling is provided by subjecting fiber admixture to heat treatment, which fiber admixture is composed of foamed fiber, heat adhesive fiber and other kinds of fibers if necessary.
