The current invention relates to a textile suited for packaging, transporting and/or storing items, wherein said textile is a multilayered textile, said multilayered textile comprising a reinforcing middle part, a first outer nonwoven layer and a second outer nonwoven layer, wherein said reinforcing middle part is sandwiched between said first outer and said second outer nonwoven layer wherein said reinforcing middle part is comprised of two superimposed scrim layers, wherein each of said scrim layers has a weight between 50 to 100 g/m.sup.2 and said textile has a total weight of between 250 and 350 g/m.sup.2 as measured by EN 9073-1:1992. The current invention also relates to a container comprising aforementioned textile.

A method for producing a composite nonwoven fabric having at least two layers, wherein a first layer is made of long fibers, and a second layer is made of short fibers. The method includes attaching, in a production line, the short fibers of the second layer to the long fibers of the first layer in a wet laid process via a headbox. The headbox has a round flow or cross flow distributor with a rotating or static turbulence generator.

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a fluid management layer disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core is disclosed. The fluid management layer is an integrated, carded, nonwoven disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The absorbent article exhibits an average stain size of less than about 2400 mm{circumflex over ()}2, when measured in accordance with the Stain Size test method.

A non-woven fabric with elasticity in warp direction and a manufacturing method thereof are provided, including: a feeding step, feeding the non-woven fabric into a location between the difference gears and suction gears in an overfeeding manner; a wave forming step, entering the non-woven fabric to a location between the differential gears and the suction gears, thereby forming wavy folds; a fixing step, providing a suction force through suction holes of the suction gears to make the non-woven fabric closely fit outer surfaces of the suction gears, and fix the wavy folds; a press-flattening step, press-flattening the wavy folds; a preheating step, heating the non-woven fabric to soften it; a broadening step, stretching the non-woven fabric in a weft direction and making it be oriented, and straightening the wavy folds at the same time; a stabilizing step; and a cooling step, cooling the non-woven fabric to set it.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a gas diffusion layer, wherein nonwovens made of carbon fibers or carbon fiber precursors are subjected to entanglement with water-containing fluid jets of a certain water quality. The invention also relates to the gas diffusion layer obtainable according to the method and to a fuel cell that contains such a gas diffusion layer.

A nano-zinc oxide-supported bacterial cellulose microfiber-alginate fiber composite is described. The composite is obtained by absorbing nano-zinc oxide-supported bacterial cellulose microfibers on an alginate fiber spunlace non-woven fabric; the nano-zinc oxide is uniformly distributed on the surface of the bacterial cellulose microfibers. This composite has good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and water absorption properties, and has a great application prospect in biomedical fields, such as wound dressings, human body repair materials, tissue engineering materials, etc.

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for bonding a fiber structure (2) by means of a fluid (3), comprising a fluid jet head (9) having a nozzle (20) for discharging the fluid (3), a manipulator (4), and a fiber receptacle (25) for arranging the fiber structure (2), wherein the fluid jet head (9) is arranged as an effector (8) on the manipulator (4), and wherein the manipulator (4) is provided in such a way that the fluid jet head (9) arranged thereon can be moved in at least two spatial directions (10.1, 10.2, 10.3) relative to the fiber receptacle (25).

Disclosed in the present invention are a non-woven fabric having stripe protrusions on a surface, and an absorption product thereof. The surface of the non-woven fabric has several stripe protrusions which longitudinally extend and are transversely distributed; the stripe protrusions have a height between 0.5 mm-3.0 mm; a plurality of openings are formed in opening areas formed between the adjacent stripe protrusions; and the average area of each opening is less than 20 mm.sup.2. The longitudinal stripe protrusions on the surface of the non-woven fabric can guide body fluid in the longitudinal direction of the absorption product to increase a body fluid permeation area and increase the body fluid infiltration speed as well as effectively stop the body fluid from leaking laterally.
