A method of making laminate foam material is provided. The laminate foam material includes a layer of non-foam material sandwiched between two layers of foam material. The non-foam material is bonded to the foam material, such as with a bonding agent and/or by heating respective surfaces of the foam material until the surface softens or melts. When a heating process is utilized, the non-foam material is pressed against the softened or melted foam material. As the foam material begins to cool, the non-foam material becomes bonded to the foam material. The non-foam material is narrower than the foam material and is positioned relative to the foam material such that the edges of the non-foam material are concealed by the foam material. Foam products, such as foam mats, can be formed from the laminate foam material by cutting across the width of the foam material.

A breathable barrier fabric that is heat sealable and minimizes lint generation without impacting the fabric's overall breathability, comfort and barrier protection, and that can be used to manufacture Helmke Category II or better cleanroom garments suitable for use in ISO Class 3 cleanroom environments and other hygienic applications. The breathable barrier fabric has a composite laminate structure including an inner monolithic film layer made from a breathable polymer bonded to first and second outer spunbond layers comprising thermoplastic bicomponent fibers each having an outer glazed surface where the thermoplastic bicomponent fibers are at least partially flattened.

An exterior sheathing cementitious panel which prevents water penetration and air leakage is provided. Methods for manufacturing exterior sheathing cementitious panels with a highly efficient integrated air/water barrier sheet are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious panel is provided.

A roofing underlayment includes a hydrophobic nonwoven core layer that provides enhanced resistance to water infiltration. In addition to the hydrophobic nonwoven core layer, the roofing underlayment includes a coating layer adhered to a surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven core layer, and an exterior surface layer adhered to the coating layer. A roofing system that includes the roofing underlayment is also provided.

A composite material for dissipating the kinetic energy of an impacting object includes a strike face oriented to receive the impacting object and a protected face oriented to be proximate a user or a protected item. A first portion includes at least a first woven fabric layer and at least a Non-Newtonian Fluid (NNF) sheet. The first portion is disposed adjacent the strike face. A second portion includes at least a second woven fiber layer, and the second portion is disposed adjacent the protected face.

A wound dressing material comprises first and second wound-contact scrims, and an antimicrobial layer disposed therebetween. The wound-contact scrims comprise water-sensitive fibers comprising a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units. The wound dressing material may be contacted with an exposed surface of a wound. A method of making the wound dressing material is also disclosed.

A one-ply absorbent article comprising a nonwoven first layer; a non-woven third layer; a nonwoven second layer between the first layer and the third layer; and wherein the one-ply absorbent article has a first absorbency measure at a first delamination state and a second absorbency measure at a second delamination state, wherein the first absorbency measure is less than the second absorbency measure and the first delamination state is less than the second delamination state.

The invention relates to a catalytic and/or reactive unit, preferably in the form of a protective material with catalytic and/or reactive properties, particularly with the function of protecting from chemical and/or biological harmful and/or poisonous substances, preferably in the form of a textile protective filter material, as well as a method for producing same. The catalytic and/or reactive unit is particularly suitable for producing protective equipments and/or protective objects, and filter and filter materials of all types.

The vehicle headliner includes a base layer, a skin layer disposed on one side of the base layer, and an infrared reflecting layer and a protection layer, in this order, disposed on the other side of the base layer. The base layer contains thermoplastic resin and fiber. The protection layer is a non-stretched resin layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 200° C. or more.

A carpet tile includes a textile top member and a cushion mat that is coupled with the textile top member via a thermoplastic material. The textile top member includes carpet yarns and a backing that is coupled with the carpet yarns so that the backing structurally supports the carpet yarns. The cushion mat includes a polymeric material component having polymer fibers that are randomly oriented and entangled together and a scrim reinforcement that is disposed within the polymeric material component. The scrim reinforcement reinforces and stabilizes the polymeric material component and is entirely covered and concealed by the intermeshed polymer fibers.
