A viscose fiber comprises a fiber body including a regenerated cellulosic material and a plurality of microcapsules dispersed in the regenerated cellulosic material. The regenerated cellulosic material is derived from an organic plant material and the plurality of microcapsules containing a phase change material has a transition temperature in the range of 0 C. to 100 C., the phase change material providing thermal regulation based on at least one of absorption and release of latent heat at the transition temperature.

A microfiber nonwoven composite includes: at least one layer S that contains a first fiber component; and at least one layer M that contains a second fiber component. The second fiber component is forced at least in part into the layer S. Fibers of the first fiber component comprise melt-spun include filaments deposited as a nonwoven fabric, and which are at least partially split and solidified to form elementary filaments having an average titer of less than 1 dtex. Fibers of the second fiber component include melt-blown fibers.

An imprinted or compressed sheet material can be produced by subjecting a pre-dried composite material to an energy transfer step in which the sheet material is passed between an energy-emitting device and a patterned anvil. An oil is applied to the anvil after the passing of the sheet material and the applied oil is removed from the anvil before the next passing of the sheet material. An apparatus for continuously producing such a sheet material includes a patterned anvil roll, an energy transmitter emitting ultrasound energy to the anvil roll, a means for applying an oil over the breadth of the anvil roll and a means for removing oil from the roll downstream of the means for applying the oil.

A cosmetic pad and a method of manufacturing the same. The cosmetic pad includes a layer of hydroentangled cotton-based fibers that form a coherent, soft and resilient, mildly abrasive, linting-resistant fibrous material body having substantially smooth top and bottom surfaces. During its rotary stamping and cutting from a web, the pad is provided with at least one pressure print in a predetermined location in the material body, the pressure print identically aligned on both the top and bottom surfaces of the material body and defining a compression pattern that extends between the top and bottom surfaces of the material body.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of nonwoven fabric manufacturing, in particular to a novel antibacterial breathable fabric and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes following steps: S1, surface hot rolling treatment: performing the surface hot rolling treatment on a fiber mesh layer, where a lower surface of the fiber mesh layer is supported by a flexible belt, and a hot rolling member contacts and hot rolls an upper surface of the fiber mesh layer, so as to prepare the fiber mesh layer with fibers on the upper surface thermally bonded and fibers on the lower surface fluffy; and S2, spunlace processing treatment: performing the spunlace processing treatment on the lower surface of the fiber mesh layer prepared in the S1; and the flexible belt is made of a high-temperature resistant flexible material.

A nonwoven web material that contains fibers formed by compounding at least one polymer with a tackifier is provided. The nonwoven web material can be used as a wipe or tack cloth and can exhibit a dust holding capacity of at least about 10 grams/m.sup.2 and a lint potential of less than about 5 fibers/cm.sup.2. In addition to containing a tackifier that is compounded with the polymer(s) used to form the fibers of the web, the nonwoven web material can be textured, post-bonded, apertured, or treated with elemental fluorine gas to further improve its dust holding capacity and minimize lint production. In addition, the nonwoven web material leaves minimal residue after contacting a surface.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a nonwoven fabric. In particular, the present invention relates to the production of a nonwoven fabric having desirable tactile and haptic properties, as well as to the nonwoven fabric itself. The process requires the selection of specific materials and process conditions. The fabric is produced from a masterbatch of isotactic polypropylene homopolymer and a surface-treated calcium carbonate filler.
