A self-adhering drainage-promoting wrap for a building structure includes an elongate, flexible strip of weather-resistive membrane having front and rear faces, a series of separate, spaced-apart, spacer elements bonded to the front face of the membrane and projecting therefrom to a predetermined height, and a layer of adhesive on the rear face of the membrane. Wall and roof assemblies including the self-adhering drainage-promoting wrap are also provided.

Fabric sheet assemblies for delivering malodor control in wash liquor during a laundering process and methods for forming such fabric sheet assemblies are provided. In one example, a fabric sheet assembly includes one or more substrate layers including a first substrate layer. The first substrate layer is configured to absorb and/or adsorb malodor compounds from the wash liquor. An odor controlling composition is carried by the one or more substrate layers and is configured to be released into the wash liquor.

An aerosol generation device includes a housing, the housing defining an internal space, the device including at least a heat source within the internal space; the housing including at least an insulation wall including an inner surface facing the internal space and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface; the device further including a thermal insulation layer arranged on at least a thermo-protected portion of the outer surface of the insulation wall, the thermal insulation layer including a mesh sublayer, the mesh sublayer including an interlaced structure.

An elastic body for holding a cosmetic, which can suppress that the cosmetic included in the elastic body for holding a cosmetic is taken out from the elastic body in a large amount at a time at the initial stage of use, wherein the elastic body for holding a cosmetic has a three-dimensional structure, and at least a dense fibrous surface layer and a sparse fibrous substrate; a cosmetic-containing elastic body in which a cosmetic is included in the elastic body for holding cosmetic; and a cosmetic article having the cosmetic-containing elastic body.

Provided is a carpet comprising a textile top member, which includes carpet yarns and a nonwoven primary backing that is coupled with the carpet yarns so that the primary backing structurally supports the carpet yarns. The nonwoven primary backing has a layered configuration of fibers where the average fiber diameters of the fibers in one layer differs from the average fiber diameter in the layer or layers adjacent thereto. The layers are configured to mechanically reinforce and stabilize the carpet yarns. A secondary backing is coupled with the textile top member via a thermoplastic material. The carpet can be a carpet tile or a carpet rug.

A radon gas and/or moisture abatement system (or method) is located under the concrete slab of a building. The system (or method) includes a multilayered mat having a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer is non-permeable and faces the concrete slab. The third (or sandwiched) layer is an entangled net. The second layer is permeable layer. The layers are bonded together. Whereby radon gas and/or moisture are inhibited from entering the building by passing through and collecting in the multilayer product.

A layered composite includes an insulation sheet and at least one scrim layer secured thereto. The at least one scrim layer may be embedded within the thickness of the insulation sheet, or bonded to a corresponding face of the insulation sheet, and have a tensile strength greater than that of the insulation sheet. As such, the scrim layer provides structural support to the insulation sheet as well as a trap for fibers or particles that may separate from the insulation sheet.

A depth filter with excellent filtration accuracy and pressure resistance performance even for fluids containing high density and high viscosity powder fine particles. A depth filter having a base material layer, a filtration layer, and a skin layer, in that order, wherein: the substrate layer and the skin layer are layers made by a nonwoven fabric being wound and thermally fused; the filtration layer is a laminate in which at least a nonwoven fabric and a net are laminated, being wound twice or more; and the nonwoven fabric contained in the filtration layer contains a mixed-fiber nonwoven fabric containing two or more types of fibers with mutually different average fiber diameters.

The present invention concerns a reinforcing material comprising at least one fibrous reinforcement associated on at least one of its faces with a thermoplastic porous layer, said thermoplastic porous layer(s) representing at most 10% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, preferably from 0.5 to 10% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, and more preferably from 2 to 6% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, characterized in that said thermoplastic porous layer or each of said thermoplastic porous layers present comprises a so-called reactive thermoplastic polymer or consists of one or more reactive thermoplastic polymers, a reactive thermoplastic polymer carrying NH2 functions in an amount greater than 0.15 meq/g of reactive thermoplastic polymer and/or carrying COOH functions in an amount greater than 0.20 meq/g of reactive thermoplastic polymer.

The invention also concerns processes for manufacturing such reinforcement materials, preforms, processes for manufacturing composite parts and composite parts using such reinforcement materials.

The present disclosure provides composite materials comprising nettings, mattings or meshes thermally bonded to outer layers of nonwoven fibers that may be configured for use in a variety of applications and products. A composite material comprises a first layer of netting comprising intersecting strands and a second layer in contact with the first layer. The second layer comprises first and second fiber components. The first fiber components have a melting point at least 20 degrees higher than the melting point of the netting. The second fiber components have a melting point within 20 degrees Celsius of the fibers in the netting layer. This allows the second fiber components to thermally bond with the netting at contact points upon the application of heat and pressure. The first fiber components do not substantially thermally bond to the netting and thus form an outer layer, such as a sock, that protects the netting layer.
