Aspects are directed to a textile having two opposing surfaces formed of a different yarn type. Each yarn type may include a material with a color that is different than a material the other yarn type. The textile may include different amounts of materials at areas of a surface, and a visual component may be formed at one area by colors of materials included in each yarn type.

A biocide-free sponge cloth prewetted with a hygroscopically acting inorganic salt is provided. The spone cloth is based on regenerated cellulose which is mechanically reinforced with fibers and/or a web and includes a hygroscopically acting salt. The sponge cloth has an a.sub.w value of less than 0.80. On account of the low a.sub.w value, the sponge cloth has an antibacterial, bacteriostatic, fungicidal and/or fungistatic effect. The hygroscopically acting salt is preferably magnesium chloride. It can be combined with further inorganic salts, with low molecular weight, mono- or polyhydric alcohols, with sugars, sugar esters, mono- or polybasic carboxylic acids, esters of mono- or polybasic carboxylic acids and/or with hydrophilic polymers. The sponge cloth is preferably produced by the viscose process.

The present invention provides, in one aspect, a method for producing a molded article, the method comprising exposing a molded article precursor comprising a protein to an environment with a relative humidity of 90% or more to obtain the molded article.

Disclosed are methods for treating bone diseases. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods of treating osteopenia, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteoarthritis, and hypophosphatasia. The present disclosure also relates to methods for improving bone mineral density.

A method of producing a fire retarded cellulose fiber material composed of both a liquid fire retardant and a powdered fire retardant useful in producing insulation and other such products is provided.
