A process for texturing a multicomponent fiber is provided. The process comprises: (A) providing a multicomponent fiber having a shaped cross section and at least one water dispersible polymer; and a plurality of domains comprising one or more water non-dispersible polymers, wherein said domains are substantially isolated from each other by said water dispersible polymer intervening between said domains; and wherein the water dispersible polymer is present at the perimeter of the outside cross-section of the multicomponent fiber in a proportion of no greater than 55% water dispersible polymer; and (B) passing the multicomponent fiber through a first zone comprising a first heating device and a twisting unit, wherein the first heating device has a heating temperature that is at least 10% less than the temperature used for a fiber without the water dispersible component having the same water non-dispersible polymer, same number of total filaments in the fiber, and the same total denier for a given type of equipment and process conditions.

A fabric has first material yarns and second material yarns woven together to form a ground, The first material yarns are synthetic yarns, and the second material yarns are cotton pile yarns. A coloring process is performed which colors the second material yarns, but which does not take to the first material yarns. A second coloring or printing process is performed on the technical front.

The application relates to a wickerwork fibre, in particular for the production of furniture and/or furniture parts, including a main body produced by extrusion and composed of a plastic material with a flat cross section, the width of which is a multiple of the height, and wherein the main body has elevations running parallel to one another at least on one broad side. In order to create a wickerwork fibre which closely resembles a natural fibre in terms of haptic and optical perception and can be produced in a simple manner, it is proposed that the elevations are triangular in cross section. The application also relates to a method for producing a wickerwork fibre of this kind.

An elastic body for cosmetic holding use which can be used for holding a cosmetic such as a foundation, such as a puff that can be used for the application of a cosmetic onto skin, said elastic body being characterized by containing conjugate fibers as constituent fibers, wherein each of the conjugate fibers contains a resin A and a resin B having a higher melting temperature than that of the resin A, and contact parts between the constituent fibers are integrated with the resin A contained in the conjugate fibers; a cosmetic-containing elastic body which comprises the elastic body for cosmetic holding use and a cosmetic contained in the elastic body; and a cosmetic equipped with the cosmetic-containing elastic body.

A vacuum insulated panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with: a core material comprising resin fibers; and a monomer-adsorbing material that is added to the core material and that adsorbs monomers derived from the resin fibers.

The present invention generally relates to the field of textiles. More particularly, it relates to A woven terry cloth with differential or non uniform pick density having different picks per centimeter and method for producing the same with controlled weight distribution. The terry fabric with differential pick density, having: a body comprising of one or more ends of first end (L1) and second end (L2), one or more edges of first side edge (W1) and second side edge (W2), and a plurality of zones (Z1, Z2, Z3); a plurality of ground warp ends (G1, G2); a plurality of terry pile loop yarn (P1, P2); and a plurality of ground fill picks (f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8). Additionally the woven terry cloth includes variable density of picks in different zones of the fabric.

A woven textile fabric, the fabric including: a warp yarn with a yarn count of 10 s to 100 s including a blend of Lyocell fiber spun yarn and recycled polyester spun yarn; and a weft yarn with a yarn count of 10 s to 100 s including a blend of Lyocell fiber spun yarn and recycled polyester spun yarn, wherein the total content of the recycled polyester in the fabric is at least about 35%, further wherein said fabric exhibits rating of 3 or above when the fabric is tested for pilling after 1000 rubs. The advantageous fabric realized in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure has excellent wrinkle resistance, high tensile strength, and low pilling.

The present disclosure provides cover systems for covering components of a cabin interior of a vehicle, such as an automobile, a train car, a bus, a boat, or an aircraft, among others. For instance, the cover systems may cover one or more of a seat and a floor, among others, of the cabin interior. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb one or more of low-frequency sounds, such as low-frequency noise emitted by an engine, and high-frequency sounds, among others. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb odor molecules. The fabric covering systems may include multiple layers. For instance, one of the layers may include activated carbon fibers. The activated carbon fibers may absorb or partially absorb one or more of sounds, liquids, and odors, among others.

Disclosed are a lyocell material for a cigarette filter and a method of preparing the same, wherein a crimped tow is manufactured using a lyocell multifilament including low-strength lyocell monofilaments, and thus the ultimately prepared lyocell material for a cigarette filter can exhibit low strength, thereby increasing processing efficiency during the manufacture of the cigarette filter.

A process for producing nonwoven materials is disclosed. The process of comprises the following steps: a) providing a three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) suspension containing: the natural and/or manmade fibres; a surfactant; 20-48 vol. % of air, b) providing a first moving carrier sieve, c) applying the three-phase suspension onto the first moving carrier sieve to produce a fibrous web, d) removing aqueous residue of the three-phase suspension through the first carrier sieve, e) recycling the aqueous residue to step a), f) pre-integrating the fibrous web by flushing the web with 0.0005-0.05 m.sup.3 of water per m.sup.3 of applied three-phase suspension, at a pressure of 5-50 bar, and collecting flushed water, g) transferring the pre-integrated fibrous web from said first moving carrier sieve to a second moving carrier sieve, said second moving carrier sieve having a porosity which is smaller than the porosity of said first moving carrier sieve, h) hydroentangling the fibrous web on said second moving carrier.
