According to one embodiment, provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte battery that includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The separator is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator includes a fiber-made nonwoven fabric having a tortuosity of 1.8 to 3 and a vacancy of 40% to 60%. The negative electrode has an operating potential of 0.7 V or more with respect to the potential of metallic lithium.

A pouched product adapted for release of a water-soluble component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity containing a composition that includes a water-soluble component capable of being released through the water-permeable pouch and has a surface area, wherein the outer water-permeable pouch can include a nonwoven web including a heat sealable binder coating having a melting point of about 300 C. or less. Heat sealable binders having a melting point of about 450 C. or greater are also provided herein.

The present invention provides a lyocell fiber with increased tendency to fibrillate, requiring a time of less than 80 minutes to obtain a 50 SR value according to ISO 5267-1: 1999 while the reduction of the working capacity [c N/tex*] at the 50 SR value is less than 50%, as well as a method for producing same and products comprising same.
