The proposed vehicle interior trim part comprises a woven material having at least two parallel optical fibers that are able to laterally emit light and that extend in a longitudinal direction and having at least one further fiber and/or at least one further yarn. The vehicle interior trim part further comprises a reflective layer that is adjacent to the woven material and comprises a fleece material and that is configured to reflect light emitted by the at least two parallel optical fibers. The vehicle interior trim part additionally has a carrier that is adjacent to the reflective layer so that the reflective layer is located between the woven material and the carrier and having at least one light source that is optically connected to at least one of the at least two parallel optical fibers.

The present disclosure is directed to laminated articles, such as containers for food and beverages, that are biodegradable and/or paper recyclable. The articles include a shaped fibrous substrate that is air permeable and formed from plant fibers. A film made from a biodegradable and/or paper recyclable polymer is laminated to the substrate to produce a liquid impermeable barrier. The composite article is capable of being frozen and/or heated using, for instance, a microwave oven without delaminating.

The invention relates to a filtering material permeable to air and impermeable to oral, nasal and/or ocular human liquid aqueous excretions, comprising at least one bundle, referred to as a hydrophobic bundle, of at least two hydrophobic sheets which are superimposed and each formed by porous paper, having a gsm substance less than 30 g/m.sup.2, each hydrophobic sheet being formed by cellulose fibres, referred to as cross-linked cellulose fibres, which are connected to each other by hydrogen bonds and by covalent bonds which are formed with at least one group of cross-linking atoms, characterised in that at least some of the hydroxyls of the cross-linked cellulose fibres which are not engaged in hydrogen bonds and which are accessible to the gases form a covalent bond with an acyl group with a hydrophobic chain.

The invention provides a process for manufacturing a dynamically warm-keeping garment with a one-way moisture transferring function. The warm-keeping garment is made of a one-way moisture transferring fabric that includes a surface layer, a warm-keeping layer and a lining layer or includes the surface layer, a first warm-keeping layer, an intermediate interlayer, a second warm-keeping layer and the lining layer. The above technical solution addresses the following problems of traditional warm-keeping cotton clothes and down jackets: temperature loss caused by unsmooth sweat discharge; complex and difficult processing due to underarm zippers for venlilation; static damage and possible explosion of washing machines by air pressure due to air tightness during washing.

Absorbent laminated materials that include two spunbond nonwoven layers with a cellulose layer arranged in between the spunbond nonwoven layers are disclosed. The different layers of the absorbent laminated material are bonded through an ultrasonic treatment, and can further undergo an embossing step. In addition, the absorbent laminated materials may be used as disposable wiping products, among other applications.

In general, the present invention is directed to a process for producing multi-ply tissue products from a single ply tissue web and the resulting multi-ply products, which have good softness and strength characteristics. The process of the present invention generally involves producing a first single ply tissue web and then splitting the web into two separate single ply tissue webs that can be converted into a multi-ply web. In certain preferred embodiments the single ply web may be manufactured such that when it is split into two separate webs the two webs are substantially identical.

Provided are protector articles, comprising: a plurality of sheets overlaid one to the next, the plurality of sheets comprising a bottommost sheet, a sheet comprising a comfort face and a barrier face, the comfort face comprising a biodegradable spunlace nonwoven material, the barrier face comprising a water-resistant biodegradable material, and at least one of the plurality of sheets being releasable (e.g., releasably attached) to the article. The articles can be used in bedding, apparel, and furniture.

An upholstered comfort member, comprising a resilient comfort material and a cover fabric. The resilient comfort material comprises lignocellulosic fibres, which provides resilient properties to the resilient comfort material, and a binder at a concentration of between 1 and 30 wt %. The binder binds the lignocellulosic fibres together. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing of such an upholstered comfort member.

The present invention refers to a coated textile product comprising a fabric substrate layer; a resin-based intermediate layer; and a protecting coating upper layer, wherein the protective layer comprises at least a first primer sublayer, a second printing sublayer, a third transparent sublayer, and a fourth protection sublayer, wherein the first sublayer is on top of the resin-based intermediate layer, and the protection sublayer is the most external layer of the textile product. In addition, the invention refers to a manufacture process to produce the coated textile product, including the surface treatment of the intermediate layer carried out to improve the adhesion of top coating layers avoiding the use of foams or adhesives.

Fireworthy sealants may have a variety of compositions and be made by a variety of techniques. In certain implementations, a fireworthy sealant may include a body comprised of a cured, tacky, soft, deformable non-adhesive gel. The gel body may have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the gel body, in an uncompressed state, define a body thickness. The sealant may, in an uncompressed state, be dimensioned to fit in a first opening between a wall and an aircraft component surface and deformable when under compression to fit in a second opening, smaller than the first opening. The sealant may be flame retardant and produce low smoke density and low smoke toxicity.
