Fibrous spun-bonded non-woven composite

A fibrous spun-bonded non-woven composite web having an upper surface and a lower surface consisting essentially of in admixture:

• (a) as a first component substantially continuous coarse spun-bonded non-crimped filaments of a thermoplastic polymer having a diameter greater than 15 .mu.m. and which exhibit molecular orientation, and
• (b) as a second component fine discontinuous melt-blown microfibers of a thermoplastic polymer having a diameter less than 10 .mu.m. which exhibit no substantial molecular orientation, wherein said first and second components of said fibrous spun-bonded bonded non-woven composite were deposited following melt extrusion on the same equipment to produce a substantially random admixture of the fibers of said components extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the resulting web throughout said web in the absence of a discrete phase boundary between substantially homogeneous concentrations of said components thereby creating an integrated non-woven deposition of said components, and said integrated non-woven deposition of said components is thermally bonded to form said spun-bonded non-woven composite web which exhibits a unitary structure.
