One or more aspects of the disclosure provides a nonwoven fabric comprising a single layer in which the single fabric layer comprises a plurality of different fibers in which each fiber type has desired functionality. In one aspect, a system for preparing a nonwoven fabric having a single fabric layer in which the single fabric layer comprises a plurality of different fiber types, is provided. The system includes a spin beam having a zoned distribution plate disposed upstream of a spinneret, the zoned distribution plate includes a plurality of distribution apertures arranged in zones, wherein each zone is configured and arranged to extrude a plurality of polymer streams that are of a different polymer type than polymer streams extruded by an adjacent zone to the spinneret to form a single layer having two or more types of fibers that are of a different type from each other.
A nonwoven fabric comprising a single layer, said single layer having a plurality of fibers comprising different fiber types, wherein the plurality of fiber types comprises first fibers comprising a first fiber type and second fibers comprising a second fiber type, and wherein the first fiber type is different from the second fiber type.
A nonwoven fabric comprising a single layer, said single layer having a plurality of fibers comprising different fiber types, wherein a first fiber type comprises crimped fibers and a second fiber type comprises non-crimped or low crimping fibers.
