例えば、スパンボンド法により製造した熱可塑性ポリウレタンエラストマーからなる長繊維のみからなるウェブのように、ウェブが回転機器に接触する段階で既に完全に、あるいは完全でなくとも長繊維が相互融着することにより、ウェブがある程度一体化しているプロセスにおいては、回転機器への付着力を上回る剥離力を発生する力が機械方向に作用するため生じ難いが、熱可塑性ポリウレタンエラストマーからなる長繊維と熱可塑性ポリウレタンエラストマー以外の熱可塑性ポリマーからなる長繊維を含むスパンボンド不織布を製造する場合、開繊後コンベア上に捕集された段階では繊維同士の相互的な融着がほとんど無く、異質の繊維が堆積しているだけの状態でウェブは一体化していないため、カレンダーローラ等の回転機器に接触すると、始めは熱可塑性ポリウレタンエラストマーからなる長繊維の回転機器への付着が起こり、最終的にはウェブ全体が回転機器へ巻き付いてしまう場合があり、生産上問題がある。
