A wet sheet for cleaning includes multiple layers and is impregnated with a chemical solution. The wet sheet includes hydrophobic fiber layers arranged in a front surface layer and a back surface layer, and a hydrophilic fiber layer arranged in an intermediate layer. The hydrophobic fiber layers have an interlaced part with a high fiber density where the hydrophobic fiber layers are interlaced with the hydrophilic fiber layer. The interlaced part has at least one slightly interlaced part and at least one highly interlaced part which is formed in a dent shape and which is interlaced with a higher fiber density. The highly interlaced part is formed in an area ratio of 10 to 20% to an area of the front surface layer or the back surface layer. Static friction resistance of the wet sheet for cleaning is lower than kinetic friction resistance of the wet sheet for cleaning.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a polishing pad that is long-lasting, has a high polish rate, and is capable of producing a high degree of flatness on polished articles; and a method for manufacturing the polishing pad. The solution provided is to eliminate a sea component from a non-woven fabric that includes a binder fabric and a sea-island type composite fiber composed of the sea component and an island component, the island component having a diameter of 10-2500 nm, and to add a polymer elastic body to the non-woven fabric.

A light weight composite thermally insulating sheet is comprised of down insulation mixed with binding fibers and plant-based material fibers. The plant-based material fibers maintain their original state during heat treatment to bind the core material together. As the binding fibers soften, they bind together at their crossing and also attach to the plant-based material fibers which remain in their original state creating an inner bonded support fiber structure made of plant-based material fibers and binding fibers. This fiber structure maintains the loft in the core by resisting to heat deformation of the binder material during the heat treatment to reduce compression of core material. The plant-based material fibers also act as wicking conductors to conduct moisture out of the down material and providing a faster drying of the thermally insulating sheet. Carbon fibers may be added to the core mixture of the scrim sheets, if used, may be formed of charcoal yarn to absorb odors.

A thermoformable non-woven material that meets at least one of the UL94 V-0 (2013) flammability standard and the ASTM E84-14 (2014) flammability standard. The material may include charring fiber having a denier per fiber at least about 3 and binding fiber having a denier per fiber between about 1 and about 8. The weight ratio of charring fiber to binding fiber may be between about 2:1 and about 4:1, and the denier per fiber of the charring fiber may be at least about twice the denier per fiber of the binding fiber.

A bonded and entangled non-woven structure made of at least 50% staple fibers by weight of the bonded and entangled non-woven structure, and at least a partial bonding of the fibers of the non-woven structure. The at least partial bonding including thermally activated bonds between a first polyolefin material produced with a catalyst including at least one metallocene catalyst and having a melting point in the range 130-170? C. and a second material having a melting point which is at least 10? C. higher than the melting point of the first material, the weight of the first material in the non-woven structure being at least 3% of the weight of the nonwoven structure.

Nonwoven webs having excellent fluid handling characteristics are disclosed. The nonwoven webs are made from a combination of binder fibers and structure fibers. The structure fibers are made from multicomponent, hollow fibers. The structure fibers include first polymer component zones that alternate with second polymer component zones around the circumference of the fiber. The first polymer component zone is made from a polymer having a lower melting temperature than the polymer contained in the second polymer component zone. In this manner, the fibers have a three-dimensional conformation that produces significant void volume within the nonwoven web.

A wound product and a method of manufacturing the wound product is provided. The wound product comprises a first layer comprising a plurality of splittable fibres. At least some of the plurality of splittable fibres are split longitudinally along at least part of their length, and at least some of the plurality of splittable fibres are entangled.

An embossed non-woven for the vehicle interior, includes: polyethylene terephthalate framework staple fibers; and polyethylene terephthalate binding staple fibers. A proportion of polyethylene terephthalate binding staple fibers is 5 to 50 wt. % based on a total weight of the non-woven. The polyethylene terephthalate binding staple fibers includes core/shell staple fibers. A shell of the core/shell staple fibers has low-melting co-polyethylene terephthalate having a melting point measured in accordance with DIN ISO 11357-3 (2013) in a range of 80? C. to 230? C.

A fibrous nonwoven material which is vertically lapped in its entirety or which includes one or more lapped regions which include vertically lapped fibers provides for padding to be applied to a substrate (e.g., an article of interest such as a handle for sporting equipment or tool, or on the inside of a motorcycle or bicycle helmet, etc.). The skin contacting surface of the nonwoven has regions which are relatively thicker than other regions, and air, sweat, and the like are allowed to easily pass through these regions for cooling, wicking of fluid and enhanced breathability. The lapped nonwoven includes a backing material which helps define the pad shape and which permits securing to a substrate. A hook and loop fastener may be affixed to the lapped nonwoven at the backing material so as to allow retrieval and replacement of the nonwoven on the substrate. An acquisition layer on the surface can be used on the surface of the nonwoven, and a carded consolidated web may be positioned within the nonwoven. The nonwoven may take a variety of shapes including the shape of a strip and the shape of a koozie.

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include (i) at least one disposable-high-loft nonwoven layer having a plurality of crimped multi-component fibers and (ii) a scrim. A first side of the scrim may be bonded directly or indirectly to a first disposable-high-loft nonwoven layer and optionally a second side of the scrim may be bonded directly or indirectly to a second disposable-high-loft nonwoven layer. The first disposable-high-loft nonwoven layer has a first density and the scrim has a scrim density, in which the scrim density is larger than the first density.
