A paperboard carrier suitable for use with textiles may include one or more strips of paperboard secured together to form a hollow tubular body, the body having an outer surface, and a coating covering some or all of the outer surface. The coating comprises a coating agent such as a silicon resin dispersed in a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol and little or no water. The coating may be applied to the outer surface by using a plurality spray nozzles arranged axially or circumferentially about the carrier.

A fiber assembly-forming method includes providing a first feedstock containing fibers with a binding material bonding the fibers to each other, forming disintegrated matter by disintegrating the first feedstock provided with the binding material, depositing the disintegrated matter, and heating the deposited disintegrated matter.
