Nonwoven fabric for cabin air filter comprising low melting point polyester fiber

The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric for cabin air filter including a low melting point polyester fiber, in which the nonwoven fabric for cabin air filter includes a first polyester fiber containing a polyester resin having a melting point higher than 250 C. and a second polyester fiber containing a low melting point polyester resin having a softening point of 100 to 150 C., the first polyester fiber is a modified cross-sectional yarn having a roundness of 50 to 80%, the second polyester fiber includes a low melting point polyester resin which is formed from an acid component included of terephthalic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof, and a diol component included of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, and ethylene glycol, and the second polyester fiber contains illite particles, i.e., micaceous mineral, or a mixture of the illite particles and sericite particles, and silver-based inorganic antibacterial agent particles.

Separation articles and methods for using the same for selectively removing difluoromethane from a gasesous mixture

Described herein are separation articles such as, for example, films, membranes and the like separating at least one component from a gaseous mixture comprising two or more components comprising difluoromethane (HFC-32, CH.sub.2F.sub.2) and pentafluoroethane (HFC-125, C.sub.2F.sub.5H). The disclosed articles include a selective layer that is selectively permeable for the desired component to be separated from the gas mixture. The selective layer is composed of an amorphous fluorinated copolymer. Optionally, the article may include other layers which serve various purposes such as, for example, a porous support layer, a gutter layer, which allows the permeate gas to pass from the selective layer to the porous layer with minimal flow impedance, and a protective layer, which protects the selective layer from fouling. Each component of the separation articles described herein and methods for making and using the same are provided below.
