A method for producing a support for polyurethane-based imitation leather free of dimethylformamide or other solvents or water involves preparing a base. A two-component polyurethane layer is sprayed on the base which includes preparing a first component and a second component. The first and second components are combined to obtain a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed uniformly on the base forming the polyurethane layer. A backing is applied on the two-component polyurethane layer forming a support and the support is dried.

An airbag comprises a textile substrate and a coating on at least a portion of the surface of the textile substrate. The coating comprises a polyurethane polymer and a phosphorous compound. The phosphorous compound can be selected from the group consisting of esters of phosphoric acid, esters of phosphonic acid, esters of phosphinic acid, and mixtures thereof. An airbag module comprises the above-described airbag, a gas generator, and a cover at least partially enclosing the airbag and gas generator.

A nonwoven fabric for manufacturing an oral pouched product, where the nonwoven fabric is chewable to increase its liquid permeability. When the nonwoven fabric is used to form a pouch, it may thus control the release of substances from within the pouch. The nonwoven fabric can be formed by applying a diffusion restricting treatment to a base nonwoven fabric. The diffusion restricting treatment may include any of (a) incorporating a digestible compound; (b) incorporating a superabsorbent polymer; (c) incorporating a hydrophobic material; and (d) forming a deformable barrier layer.

An aqueous solution includes a polyalkylene glycol terminated poly-carbodiimide of formula 1:

##STR00001##

where: R.sub.1 is an aliphatic group from about 5 to about 12 carbon atoms, an isosorbide moiety, a 1,3-furan moiety, an L-lysine alkyl ester moiety, a rosin moiety, a cycloaliphatic unsaturated moiety, or a cardanol moiety; R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a methyl group; R.sub.3 is a methyl, ethyl, or propyl moeity; and n and m are integers and are each independently between 1 and about 30. The solution is optically clear.

The disclosure relates to a fabric for lightweight nautical sails, such as spinnakers, asymmetric spinnakers, and gennakers, for sailboats and other surface vessels, the fabric being formed of continuous polyester warp and weft yarns and being coated on one or both of its two surfaces with a crosslinked polymer, wherein the polyester is poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) having a tenacity greater than or equal to 6 cN/dtex; in that the fabric has a density of between 20 and 50 threads/cm. The coated fabric has an elongation in the bias direction under 20 Lbs, comprised between 10 and 30 hundredths of an inch.

A wiping sheet includes a patterned part of a fiber assembling base material and a non-patterned part of the fiber assembling base material. The patterned part includes cellulose nanofiber; and the non-patterned part does not include the cellulose nanofiber.
