The invention provides composite cushion materials of high breathability and moisture management, multistep softness, and support and methods of making the composite cushion materials. The first layer of the material comprises a warp-knitted sandwich fabric, the second layer comprises a three-dimensional nonwoven fabric, the third layer comprises a perforated ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, and the fourth layer comprises a warp-knitted mesh fabric, wherein the second layer is positioned between the first layer and the third layer, and wherein the third layer is positioned between the second layer and the fourth layer. The composite cushion materials are useful in clothing and equipment for wear in high temperature environments.

The present disclosure relates to multi-layer composite articles including at least two nonwoven web layers. Each or the layers may be a spunbonded web, and each may include biodegradable materials. The multi-layered composites of the present disclosure are particularly well suited for air filtration, as they can combine a high dust holding capacity with sufficient strength, dimensional stability, and a relatively low pressure drop.

Compositions are disclosed suitable as biobased and compostable binders for fiber-based materials, paper, textiles, woven and nonwoven materials. The compositions are adjusted to a pH<7 and comprise a water soluble biobased polymer or a protein hydrolysate, a support agent selected from at least one in the group of saccharides and polyols, and tannic acid. Also disclosed is fiber-based materials, paper, textiles, woven and nonwoven materials treated with the compositions and methods for such treatment.

A nonwoven laminate is provided having multi-purposes. One embodiment is an A-layer having a high surface tension factor to prevent water absorption and can be used for fender liners or underbody surfaces of motor vehicles to prevent water from absorbing into the material as well as ice accumulation. The water resistant properties are the result of utilizing a newly engineered hydrophobic PET (H-PET) fiber. Another embodiment, useable alone or in combination with the A-layer is a B-layer that has hollow multi-lobe cross-sectional fibers to provide enhanced sound absorption properties. One or both layers have thermo-moldable characteristics that allow them to be shaped into a specific geometry. In this case, the low melt fibers provided in one or both layers are fused and interlock or bridge together to yield a rigid nonwoven water/ice resistant and/or sound absorbing composite.
