A thermoplastic fiber sheet includes at least cellulosic fibers and thermoplastic resin fibers having a softening temperature of 100 to 140° C. A weight ratio of the cellulosic fibers to the thermoplastic resin fibers (the cellulosic fibers: the thermoplastic resin fibers) is 4:6 to 2:8, and porosity is 20 to 70%.

A warming cabinet can include an enclosure, a heater for heating the enclosure, and a package disposed within the enclosure. A method of disinfecting skin can include removing a package from a storage environment having an above-ambient temperature, removing a wipe from the package, and applying the wipe to skin.

The present invention relates to methods of producing polymer fibers and polymer fiber products and materials recovery from these processes. It is an object of this invention to produce polymer fibers and products that include these fibers using selective dissolution of multicomponent fiber and to recover the dissolved polymer and solvent for subsequent use.

A flooring product may include an upper flooring material and a glassless wet-laid nonwoven mat. The glassless wet-laid nonwoven mat may include a plurality of polymeric fibers and a binder. The plurality of polymeric fibers have a linear mass density of between about 1.0 denier and 4.0 denier. The plurality of polymeric fibers have lengths of between about 6 mm and 25 mm. The binder has a loss on ignition of at least about 20%. The glassless wet-laid nonwoven mat has a hot-wet % of at least about 20%.

Articles, such as sanitary tissue products, including fibrous structures, and more particularly articles including fibrous structures having a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the article exhibits differential cellulose content throughout the thickness of the article and methods for making same are provided.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles that are resistant to pilling. The composite nonwoven textile may be finished by one or more of applying a chemical binder to a first face of the composite nonwoven textile and forming thermal bonding sites. The chemical binder and the thermal bonding sites help to secure fiber terminal ends and minimize the formation of pills.
