A cleaning pad structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating one or more substrate layers of an absorbent nonwoven material with an optional additional fluid blocking substrate layer of polymer film or other suitable material in juxtaposed relation to the absorbent nonwoven layers. Stitching yarns are introduced in stitching relation through the substrate layers. One face of the pad defines a cleaning surface of raised yarn loops formed by the stitched yarns. The pad further includes an attachment surface facing away from the cleaning surface. The stitches of yarns across the attachment surface define an engagement surface for attachment to cooperating hooking elements across a surface of a mop head to define a hook and loop attachment system.

Disclosed is a production method of filtration layers that can be used in many fields, especially surgical masks. The aforementioned filtration layers are thermobond non-woven layers and layers formed by supporting it with an electrospinning method. Thermobond non-woven layer is obtained as a result of a process that includes fiber opening, fiber feeding, carding and bonding.

A combination of nanoparticles applied onto a mask filtration system, exemplarily including 1%-10% graphene; 1%-10% titanium dioxide; 1%-10% zinc oxide; 1%-10% copper oxide; 1%-10% silicon dioxide; and balance solvent is provided.

A fibrous structure having one or more vertically lapped layers having a first surface and a second surface and a facing layer secured to the first surface of the vertically lapped layer. The fibrous structure is adapted to be used in a flooring assembly. The fibrous structure may include a mesh and/or a backing layer on the second surface of a vertically lapped layer. The fibrous structure exhibits improved performance in below room testing and/or in-room testing as compared with traditional materials of the same thickness.

Layered nonwoven textile containing a first layer (T) of filaments, which contains endless filaments containing a first carrier polymer (A1) and a first binding polymer (B1), which forms at least a part of surface of said endless filaments and which has a melting temperature at least 5° C. lower than the first carrier polymer (A1), wherein the first layer (T) of filaments contains bonding points in a spaced arrangement, wherein the bonding points interconnect the filaments and are formed by the first binding polymer (B1), a second layer (M) of filaments, which contains filaments containing a carrier material, the stiffness of which is lower than the stiffness of the first carrier polymer (A1), and a second binding polymer (B2), which has a melting temperature at least 5° C., preferably at least 10° C., lower than the carrier material and the first carrier polymer (A1), wherein the second layer (M) of filaments contains bonding points in a spaced arrangement, wherein the bonding points interconnect the filaments of the second layer (M) and are formed by the second binding polymer (B1).

A nonwoven fabric layered body includes, in the following order, a crimped surface layer including a crimped spunbond nonwoven fabric including a crimped fiber, a crimped intermediate layer including a crimped spunbond nonwoven fabric including a crimped fiber, and a non-crimped surface layer including a non-crimped spunbond nonwoven fabric including a non-crimped fiber, a linear mass density of the crimped fiber in the crimped surface layer is from 1.4 denier to 1.6 denier, and a linear mass density of the crimped fiber in the crimped intermediate layer is less than 1.4 denier.

A nonwoven fabric is disclosed. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and at least a first visually discernible zone of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, and the first visually discernible zone can exhibit a high visual resolution.

Provided is a composite sheet material having a first layer and an airlaid nonwoven layer overlying the first layer wherein the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a blend of bamboo derived staple fibers and non-cellulose staple fibers, and in which the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a first surface disposed towards, and thermally bonded, to a surface of the first layer, and a second surface defining an outer surface of the composite sheet material.

Described herein is an antiviral face mask and methods of use thereof to inactivate a virus in contact with the face mask. The face mask may include a fibrous material with silicon nitride powder impregnated therein and a layer surrounding the fibrous material. In some embodiments, silicon nitride is present in the fibrous material at a concentration of about 30 wt. % to about 50 wt. %.

A fibrous layer having a first side and an opposed second side. The fibrous layer includes a hotmelt composition that at least partially coats and binds the fibers of the fibrous layer at the surface of at least one of the first side and second side.
