The present invention relates to a dispersible non-woven fabric, a method for producing a dispersible non-woven fabric and a wipe or tissue. The dispersible non-woven fabric comprises natural pulp fibers in an amount of from 70 to 90 wt.-% based on the total weight of the non-woven fabric and cellulosic fibers in an amount of from 10 to 30 wt.-% based on the total weight of the non-woven fabric. At least a part of the pulp fibers and of the cellulosic fibers are entangled with each other. At least 20% of the natural pulp fibers have a fiber coarseness of from 1.0 to 2.0 dtex.

A filter material for manufacturing a segment of a smoking article is described, wherein the filter material comprises a hydro-entangled nonwoven and the nonwoven comprises fibers, wherein the fibers are selected from the group consisting of pulp fibers, fibers of regenerated cellulose and mixtures thereof, and these fibers are together contained in the nonwoven in an amount of at least 50% and at most 100% of the mass of the hydro-entangled nonwoven, and wherein the nonwoven is in the form of a web, has a longitudinal direction in the running direction of the web, a cross direction orthogonal thereto and lying in the plane of the web and a thickness direction orthogonal to longitudinal direction and the cross direction. The nonwoven is shaped such that it has a wave structure in the plane formed by the cross direction and the thickness direction with a wave height of at least 50 .Math.m and at most 1000 .Math.m, as well as a wave length (22, 32, 42) of at least 150 .Math.m and at most 5000 .Math.m.

Disclosed are a method of manufacturing a flame-retardant rayon staple fiber, and a flame-retardant rayon staple fiber laminate made from the same staple fiber. The method includes a step of impregnating a flame-retardant staple fiber web with a flame-retardant solution in which a starch and an inorganic powder are mixed and a step of drying the impregnated staple fiber web. When the flame-retardant rayon staple fiber is manufactured by the method, inorganic particles absorbed by the staple fiber do not easily detach, thereby improving flame retardancy of the fiber. When a staple fiber laminate is made from the staple fiber manufactured by the method, the strength of the laminate is improved due to the presence of the starch, and the workability and moldability of the laminate are also improved due to the increased strength.
