The invention discloses an antibacterial deodorant quick-drying mask comprising a mask body and a strap, wherein the mask body comprises a water repellent outer cloth layer, a first upright cotton layer, a first needle-punched cotton layer, a melt-blown cloth layer, a second needle-punched cotton layer, a second upright cotton layer and an inner functional cloth layer. The inner functional cloth layer is woven by antibacterial yarns and spandex yarns, and a quick-drying aid is added into the inner functional cloth layer. The invention has the functions of antibiosis, deodorization and quick-drying, has soft hand feeling, is safe to use and high in comfort level and filtering rate, does not wrinkle, and enables the mask to keep the original contour all the time.

The object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped floor paneling, luggage compartment paneling or load floor paneling for motor vehicles, the carpet surface of which has a needled structure on the visible side, as well as the panelings themselves.

A light-weight fabric and method for producing the fabric, the method comprising providing a selected mass of starting material comprising fibers of the starting material, the fibers being in the range of about 5 cm to 30 cm in length and orienting the fibers in the selected mass to produce a loose web of fibers. The fibers in the loose web of fibers are mechanically attached or felted to provide structural integrity to the web and thus tighten the web of fibers into the fabric. The fabric is light weight and thus less than approximately 100 GSM in weight, more specifically less than approximately 50 GSM and may even be about approximately 25 GSM. The fabric can be used in wound care dressings.

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include a mechanically entangled blend of fibers comprising (a) post-consumer recycled polymer staple fibers (PCR-staple fibers) and (b) one or more additional fibers, in which the one or more additional fibers are different than the PCR-staple fibers. The PCR-staple fibers are mechanically entangled with the one or more additional fibers to define the nonwoven fabric.

Embodiments of the present invention describe secured fiber-reinforced aerogels and laminate structures formed therefrom. In one embodiment a laminate comprises at least one fiber-reinforced aerogel layer adjacent to at least one layer of fiber containing material wherein fibers from said at least one fiber-reinforced aerogel layer are interlaced with fibers of said at least one fiber-containing material. In another embodiment a laminate comprises at least two adjacent fiber-reinforced aerogel layers wherein fibers from at least one fiber-reinforced aerogel layer are interlaced with fibers of an adjacent fiber-reinforced aerogel layer.

The invention relates to a device for hydroentangling and/or structuring webs that includes an suctioning rotating drum and a structured shell, including at least two rings which can be pushed on and attached to the drum, is disposed at a distance from the cylindrical surface of the drum around. A web can be at least partially looped around the structured shell. At least one water bar including a nozzle strip with a plurality of nozzles is arranged relative to the structured shell to entangle and/or to structure and/or to perforate the web by the water jets. The invention further relates to the structured shell.

An alumina-silica hydrate fiber for thermal protection in the most hazardous environments experienced by firefighters. The fiber has a combination of heat resistance at temperatures above 1,000° C. and an endothermic behavior when heated. Its endothermic condensation reaction releases up to 12% water upon heating, thereby contributing to the thermal insulating properties. The fibers are extremely soft to the touch and do not irritate the skin. They are also non-respirable in the deep lung, so they can be used safely without risk of inhalation. The fabric is sufficiently lightweight and flexible as well, allowing firefighters to move easily. These properties of alumina-silica hydrate fibers enable their use for apparel.
