A liquid-absorbing multi-layered sheet with a liquid-absorbing central layer and a first and a second outer layer of fibers, tissue or film provided at each their side of the central layer is provided. The central layer is airlaid and includes cellulosic fibers, superabsorbents and heat-adhesive binder fibers. The sheet is peculiar in that the percentage of heat-adhesive binder fibers in the central layer is between 1% and 7% of the total weight of fibers in the central layer. In production, a continuous web with the three layers is conveyed through a heating zone for heating the web, wherein the heating temperature and the heating time are adapted to at least a partial melting of the heat-adhesive binder fibers in the central layer for binding the fibers in the central layer and for binding the outer layers to the central layer.

The embodiments presented herein describe a continuous insulation sheathing product to make a building energy efficient and reduce the carbon footprint of the building. The continuous insulation sheathing product also incorporates a specialized fire-retardant chemical in addition to natural fibers. In an embodiment, the continuous insulation sheathing product may be formed via an entanglement and thermal bonding of the natural fibers and a staple fiber. The embodiments presented herein, thus, enable the product to add additional insulation value to roofs and wall assemblies of a building, while providing a continuous layer of performance to mitigate the loss of energy through more conducive members of the roof and wall assembly (e.g., wood or steel framing). Further, the product achieves the above-described advantages using predominantly bio-based materials, thereby, resulting in a lower carbon footprint and providing an environmentally friendly option for consumers.

Provided is matte film including: a film layer that is formed in a nano-web shape by electrospinning a polymer material; an ink layer that is coated on one surface of the film layer; and an adhesive layer that is laminated on the other surface of the film layer through electrospinning. Since the film layer is formed in a nano-web shape so that fiber strands are accumulated, the matte film can be thinly produced and have a non-glossy function of performing scattered reflection of light and a fingerprint-preventive function of making fingerprints imprinted. Further, the surface strength of the matte film can be reinforced.

A flooring material having a textile pad substructure with a density of greater than 10 pounds per cubic foot is provided. The textile pad has reinforcement and binding fibers. The binding fibers are thermoplastic and are used to bind the reinforcement fibers together. The pad is created by heating and compressing a fibrous textile batt so that it has a density of greater than 13 pounds per cubic foot.

A method of stabilising nonwoven fibres is disclosed. A stabilising material 120 is applied to at least a portion or all of the nonwoven material 110 that comprises or is in a form of a plurality of nonwoven fibres so that the stabilising material 120 is applied to at least some or all of the nonwoven fibres. The nonwoven fibres to which the stabilising material 120 is applied are bonded with the stabilising material 120 by adhesive and/or heat bonding, thereby stabilising at least the portion or all of the nonwoven material 110.
