Mechanically divisible multicomponent fibers are disclosed having at least a first component comprised of a branched alkyl olefin polymer and at least a second component comprised of a straight-chain alkyl olefin polymer. The multicomponent fibers are particularly useful in the manufacture of nonwoven structures, and in particular nonwoven structures used as filter media.
