The present invention relates to multi-layer fiber products and a method of manufacturing these kinds of products. The present product comprises a first layer consists mainly of natural fibers and a second, heat-sealing layer located on top of the first layer. The heat-sealing layer consists mainly of synthetic thermoplastic fibers or particles. According to the present method, the heat-sealing layer is brought onto the first layer already during the web forming process, the first and the second layers being formed and joined together in a foam forming process. With the present invention, it is possible to decrease the amount of plastic materials in packaging materials having heat-sealing properties.

The present invention relates to a sample pad for a medical diagnosis kit, and a production method therefor, and more specifically relates to a sample pad for a medical diagnosis kit, the sample pad being characterized by comprising softwood pulp, PET fibres, binder fibres, and a wet-strength enhancer, and a production method therefor.

A mat for covering at least part of a ceiling made up of individual tiles. The mat renovates (e.g., improves, alters) the appearance of the ceiling. The mat is constructed so as to not impede the acoustical performance of the tiles being covered.

A ceiling material body (1a) includes a substrate layer (2) formed from rigid urethane foam; a first fiber-reinforced layer (3) provided on an in-cabin side of the substrate layer (2); a second fiber-reinforced layer (4) provided on an out-cabin side of the substrate layer (2); a surface layer (5) provided on an in-cabin side of the first fiber-reinforced layer (3); and a back layer (6) provided on an out-cabin side of the second fiber-reinforced layer (4). The second fiber-reinforced layer (4) includes a glass paper (7) overlaying the substrate layer (2) and a glass mat (8) overlaying an opposite side of the glass paper (7) from the substrate layer (2).
