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.

The present disclosure is directed to a wiping product well suited to absorbing a solvent and releasing the solvent onto an adjacent surface. The wiping product can also be constructed so as to have excellent abrasion resistance. The wiping product can be used in numerous applications and is particularly well suited for wiping unfinished surfaces, such as metal surfaces and composite surfaces for removing contaminants, such as oil and grease. The wiping product is made from a hydroentangled and thermally bonded web containing staple fibers and conjugated fibers.

Nonwoven fabrics suitable for a wide variety of applications (e.g., healthcare, filtration, industrial, packaging, etc.) are provided. In one aspect, the nonwoven fabric includes a plurality of segmented fibers. Each of the plurality of segmented fibers may comprise a fiber axis and a plurality of alternating larger diameter and smaller diameter segments along the fiber axis. The plurality of segmented fibers may be substantially aligned in a first direction.

A non-woven fabric body (11) that forms a non-woven fabric (1) is formed by integrating composite polyester fibers (2) and flame-retardant acrylic fibers (3) which serve as the other fibers of the rest. The composite polyester fibers (2) have a core-sheath structure in which a sheath portion (4) is formed of a low melting point polyester and a core portion (5) is formed of a high melting point polyester having a higher melting point than that of the low melting point polyester. The composite polyester fibers (2) are contained in an amount of 15% to 80% by weight in a total of 100% by weight of the non-woven fabric body (11). Further, an apparent density of the non-woven fabric body (11) ((a basis weight of the non-woven fabric body)/(a thickness of the non-woven fabric body)) is 0.005 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.040 g/cm.sup.3. In addition, a bending resistance of the non-woven fabric body (11) in a flow direction of the fibers is 50 mN.Math.cm to 220 mN.Math.cm, and a bending resistance in a width direction that is orthogonal to the flow direction is 20 mN.Math.cm to 140 mN.Math.cm.

A heat-bondable fiber includes a core portion that includes a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of a polyester, a polyolefin, a polyamide, and combinations thereof; and a sheath portion made from a copolyester and surrounding the core portion. The copolyester has a melt flow index of not smaller than 11.5 g/10 min determined according to ASTM D2128-2010 at 120° C. A nonwoven fabric includes at least one matrix fiber and at least one the Heat-bondable fiber that are thermally bonded together. The matrix fiber is made from a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin, a polyester, cotton, and combinations thereof.

Disclosed is a wearable article continuous in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction comprising a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface; wherein at least a portion of the garment-facing surface is a nonwoven substrate material made of fibers having a Roughness (standard deviation of the grayscale image) of at least about 16, preferably at least about 18, more preferably at least about 20; and a fiber diameter of no more than about 22 μm, preferably no more than about 17 μm, more preferably no more than about 15 μm, according to the measurements herein.

Disclosed is an arrangement and a method for manufacturing of a web of packaging material for an oral pouched snuff product. The web is a saliva-permeable nonwoven web includes fibres, whereof 0%-95% of said fibres are of a first type and 5%-100% of a second type, the fibres of the first type being cellulose-based staple fibres, and the fibres of the second type being thermoplastic fibres, which are meltable and/or softenable at least at the surface. The arrangement includes a carding unit for carding the fibres to form a pre-web, an air-through bonding unit for bonding the pre-web by means of at least partial melting and/or softening of the fibres of the second type to form the web, and a calendering unit for surface treatment of the web.
