Drying and/or cleaning cloth with a square surface with two sides which are each delimited by two longitudinal edges and two transverse edges, wherein the drying and/or cleaning cloth in the area has an opening for reaching through at least one transverse edge or one longitudinal edge.

A non-woven fabric including fibers including an aliphatic polyester that has at least two maximum values in a molecular weight distribution thereof, wherein the fibers have a fiber diameter falling within the range of 100 to 3000 nm. The non-woven fabric of the present invention has excellent biodegradability.

The invention relates to a flame retardant support article containing a support article comprising a resilient material and a flame retardant knit fabric at least partially surrounding the support article. The flame retardant knit fabric contains a plurality of yarns, wherein the yarns comprise flame retardant rayon fibers and polyester fibers. The plurality of yarns contains at least about 70% by weight flame retardant rayon fibers.

The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric for cabin air filter including a low melting point polyester fiber, in which the nonwoven fabric for cabin air filter includes a first polyester fiber containing a polyester resin having a melting point higher than 250° C. and a second polyester fiber containing a low melting point polyester resin having a softening point of 100 to 150° C., the first polyester fiber is a modified cross-sectional yarn having a roundness of 50 to 80%, the second polyester fiber includes a low melting point polyester resin which is formed from an acid component included of terephthalic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof, and a diol component included of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, and ethylene glycol, and the second polyester fiber contains illite particles, i.e., micaceous mineral, or a mixture of the illite particles and sericite particles, and silver-based inorganic antibacterial agent particles.

As a support for an external patch, a laminated sheet having a laminate structure of two or three layers in which a secondary sheet made of hydrophobic fibers is laminated on one side or both sides of a main sheet made of hydrophilic fibers is used.

An object is to realize a base material nonwoven fabric for molding excellent in handling as a material, by preventing peeling between laminated components constituting the base material for molding; and even after the base material is reheated and molded, to provide a molded product having excellent elasticity resistant to external forces such as flying debris or the like, and while maintaining peeling resistance, capable of realizing excellent sound absorbing characteristics, by suppressing air permeability inhibition due to the adhesive component. A base material nonwoven fabric for molding in a predetermined shape by heat molding, characterized by having a two-layer structure of a long fiber nonwoven fabric layer comprising at least a polyester resin and a short fiber nonwoven fabric layer comprising a polyester resin, wherein a flow-solidified undrawn polypropylene layer is localized in the vicinity of an interface between the long fiber nonwoven fabric layer and the short fiber nonwoven fabric layer.
