Disclosed are water-dispersible fibers derived from sulfopolyesters having a Tg of at least 25&#xb0; C. The fibers may contain a single sulfopolyester or a blend of a sulfopolyester with a water-dispersible or water-nondispersible polymer. Also disclosed are multicomponent fibers comprising a water dispersible sulfopolyester having a Tg of at least 57&#xb0; C. and a water non-dispersible polymer. The multicomponent fibers may be used to produce microdenier fibers. Fibrous articles may be produced from the water-dispersible fibers, multicomponent fibers, and microdenier fibers. The fibrous articles include water-dispersible and microdenier nonwoven webs, fabrics, and multilayered articles such as wipes, gauze, tissue, diapers, panty liners, sanitary napkins, bandages, and surgical dressings. Also disclosed is a process for water-dispersible fibers, nonwoven fabrics, and microdenier webs. The fibers and fibrous articles have further applications in flushable personal care and cleaning products, disposable protective outerwear, and laminating binders.

This invention relates to a cosmetic film forming composition which is especially useful as a nail coating composition which upon drying forms a film which will adhere to keratin of a nail. More particularly, the present invention relates to cosmetic film forming compositions which consist of aqueous emulsion (A) which comprises a sulfopolyester and a copolymer of vinyl acetate and dialkyl maleate, and aqueous emulsion (B) which comprises an aqueous emulsion of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate or the reaction product of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate with a vinylfunctional monomer. These cosmetic film forming compositions are fast drying, have good adhesive properties and are environmentally compatible.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of crystalline copolyesters from substantially amorphous, diethylene glycol-containing copolyesters wherein the a zeolite is incorporated in the substantially amorphous copolyester to promote crystallization upon heating a particulate form of the resulting copolyester at crystallizing effective temperatures.
