Disclosed is a vehicular engine room manufacturing method wherein the engine room has excellent heat resistance and sound-absorbing characteristics, and scraps generated during the manufacturing process can be recycled. The vehicular engine room manufacturing method comprises the steps of: carding a thermoplastic fiber and a carbon fiber having a length of 10 to 150 mm and needle-punching the same, thereby forming a felt layer; applying heat and pressure to the felt layer, thereby forming a felt board; and applying heat to the felt board and shaping the same is formed in a desired shape.

This cleaning sheet is provided with an embossed part in which the sheet is compressed in the thickness direction. The cleaning sheet is provided with outer layers, forming the surfaces of the sheet; and an inner layer sandwiched between the outer layers. In the boundary areas between the outer layers, and the inner layer, the fibers of the layers are entangled. This allows for a sheet that better retains the raised and sunken shapes embossed therethrough and exhibits excellent collecting performance.

An apparatus for bonding a first layer having short fibers with a second layer having long fibers into a non-woven web. The apparatus includes a first circulating belt on which the second layer is depositable and displacable, a second circulating belt via which the first layer is transferable at a transition point to the second layer, a pre-bonding unit arranged directly behind the transition point, and a bonding device. The pre-bonding unit has compactors which are spaced apart from one another. The compactors act in one region on the first or second circulating belt. The bonding device is arranged between the compactors and bonds together the first and second layers. The compactors and the bonding device are integrated into the apparatus to together be in an operating state when the first layer is transferred using the second circulating belt.

Wipes for preventing quaternary ammonium (quat) depletion suitable for commercial applications (e.g., industrial and consumer disinfectant wipes) are provided. The wipe includes at least one nonwoven layer, at least one pulp layer, and a cationic additive. The at least one nonwoven layer and the at least one pulp layer may be hydroentangled to form a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric having a first surface and a second surface. Additionally, the cationic additive may be disposed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface.

A smokeless tobacco product includes smokeless tobacco and structural fibers. The structural fibers forming a network in which the smokeless tobacco is entangled. The structural fibers have a composition different from the smokeless tobacco. The tobacco-entangled fabric can have an overall oven volatiles content of at least 10 weight percent. In some embodiments, the structural fibers form a nonwoven network. In some embodiments, fibrous structures of the smokeless tobacco are entangled with the structural fibers.

A dry sheet for cleaning includes fiber layers, each arranged in front and back surface layers, and a nonwoven fabric layer between the fiber layers. The fiber layers are interlaced with the nonwoven fabric layer in an interlaced part which includes slightly interlaced parts and highly interlaced parts. The highly interlaced parts in the front surface layer are formed at almost same spots as those in the back surface layer. The front and back surface layers each include polyethylene terephthalate fiber having a diameter of 3.3 dtex or more at a rate of 80% or more. An area ratio of the highly interlaced parts to the front and back surface layers is 20 to 90%. The highly and slightly interlaced parts each extend in a direction almost perpendicular to a wiping direction of the sheet and are formed alternately and successively in the wiping direction.
