Abstract:

The present invention provides a nonwoven web prepared from multicomponent fibers which are partially split. The partially split multicomponent fibers have at least one component of the multicomponent fiber separated from the remaining components of the multicomponent fiber along a first section of the longitudinal length of the multicomponent fibers. Along a second section of the longitudinal length of the multicomponent fibers the components of the multicomponent fibers remain together as a unitary fiber structure. In addition, part of the second section of the multicomponent fibers is bonded to part of a second section of an adjacent multicomponent fiber.

Abstract:

A tufted coform nonwoven web prepared from meltblown filaments and at least one secondary material is disclosed. The tufted coform nonwoven web is useful as cleaning pads, wipes, mops, among other articles of manufacture. One surface of the tufted coform nonwoven web has projections which increase the bulk of the nonwoven web. The projections also aid in the scrubbing and cleaning ability of the coform nonwoven web. Also disclosed is the process of producing the tufted coform nonwoven web, method of using the tufted coform nonwoven web as a wipe, mop, and the like, along with cleaning kits containing the coform nonwoven web.

US Classification:

428/292100, 428/297400

Abstract:

The present invention relates an acoustical insulation material for sound attenuation containing a nonwoven web. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that an acoustical insulation material made from a nonwoven web of thermoplastic fibers having an average fiber diameter of less than about 7 microns, wherein the acoustical insulation has a thickness less than about 3 mm and a density of greater than about 50 kg/mis effective as a sound insulation material. The acoustical insulation is very effective as an acoustical insulation material, despite the low thickness and high density of the acoustical insulation. A method of attenuating sound waves passing from a sound source area to a second area using the acoustical insulation material is also disclosed.

Abstract:

The present invention provides an electret nonwoven web useable in a variety of applications. The nonwoven web is prepared from continuous fibers and once formed, a binder composition is applied to the nonwoven web. Generally the binder composition is sprayed on or impregnated into the nonwoven web and the binder composition is cured forming a nonwoven web/binder composite material. After the binder composition is cured, the composite is electret charged. The application of the binder composition to the nonwoven web provides the nonwoven web with stiffness and with characteristics such that it can be pleated and such pleats can be retained without the use of a supporting substrate. This makes the electret charged nonwoven web highly suitable and cost effective for filter media by eliminating the need for laminating the media to a supporting member.

US Classification:

210490, 4284111, 428523

Abstract:

The present invention provides a multilayer web having at least a first layer and a second layer. The second layer attached to the first layer and the second layer comprising fibers produced from polymeric composition comprising a blend of a thermoplastic polymeric component and a functionalized polymeric component. The functionalized polymeric component is at least 26% by weight of the polymeric components of the second layer. The multilayer web is particularly suited for filtration media.

Abstract:

A light weight cookware article has a foam core with exposed exterior surfaces. The foam core is formed of a carbon foam material and has a barrier layer on the exterior surfaces of the foam core. The cookware article has an upper facing food contacting side and a downward facing heat source side opposite the food contacting side. A method of making the article includes fabricating a foam core vessel from the carbon foam material and applying the barrier layer on the exposed surface of the foam core vessel covering the food contacting side and the heat source side

Abstract:

A process of hard anodizing or Type III anodizing an aluminum article creates a heat stable, hard anodized, color surface on the exterior of the article. The process includes anodizing the aluminum article to achieve a hard anodized base layer on a surface of the article. A copper layer is deposited after the exterior is hard anodized. A tin layer is deposited after the step of depositing the copper layer.
