Method for producing a fibrous mat, which can be installed in a component of a vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine for acoustically and thermally insulating the component. The method comprises the steps of: providing a fibrous core consisting of at least one fibrous bundle that extends along a direction that is approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis; wrapping the outer surface of the fibrous core by means of a fibrous bundle that extends along a direction that is approximately transverse to the bundle of the fibrous core, thus providing at least one outer tubular fibrous containment sleeve that extends, in turn, along the longitudinal axis and covers the outer surface of the fibrous core to trap the fibrous core therein.

Described herein are fibers, nonwoven fabrics, and other nonwoven articles comprising a blend of at least one propylene-based elastomer and a broad molecular weight polypropylene or a broad molecular weight impact copolymer. The broad molecular weight polypropylene has a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of greater than 4.5. The impact copolymer is a reactor blend and comprises a propylene homopolymer component and a copolymer component, where the propylene homopolymer component has a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of greater than 4.5.

Provided are nonwoven fabric materials including Dead Sea minerals which exhibit useful aesthetic and physical performance during the time of utilization in a consumer product. Further provided are processes for the preparation of the material and to uses thereof.

A member for use in undersea applications comprising a plurality of conduits assembled into a bundle; the bundle being wrapped with a pressure-sensitive tape comprising a backing, a layer of corrosion-resistant filaments on one surface of the backing, and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that coats the filaments and binds them to the backing.
