Abstract:
Disposable article that include fibers formed from compositions comprising thermoplastic polymers and waxes are disclosed, where the wax is dispersed throughout the thermoplastic polymer.
Abstract:
A color-fast and high-crocking combination fabric and methods for making the same. The color-fast and high-crocking fabric consists of dyed natural fibers and dyed polyester fibers. The natural and polyester fibers are dyed and/or colored before being combined into yarns and fabrics. The color-fast and high-crocking combination fabric has very high color-fastness as measured by crocking standard, while maintaining a quality hand feel. The color fastness can withstand at least thirty regular cold-temperature home-wash laundries.
Abstract:
The woven fabric according to the invention comprises a warp and weft yarns, the weft yarns comprise first weft yarns and second weft yarns, the first weft yarns and the warp yarns form a base layer of the fabric, while the at least one plurality of second weft yarns forms an additional layer of the fabric that can be broken under a stress without damaging the base layer to change the appearance of the fabric and of the clothing articles made of said fabric.
Abstract:
Flame resistant fabrics are formed by warp and fill yarns having different fiber contents. The fabrics are constructed, for example, by selection of a suitable weaving pattern, such that the body side of the fabric and the face side of the fabric have different properties. The fabrics described herein can be printable and dyeable on both sides of the fabric and are suitable for use in military and industrial garments. Methods of forming flame resistant fabrics, and methods for forming garments from the fabrics, are also described.
Abstract:
A method to prepare nonwoven webs which have good MD and CD strength, and are water disposable is provided. The method includes hydroentangling an airlaid web of no less than 50% by weight of natural cellulose fibers having a fiber length of no more than 3.5 mm and no more than 50% by weight staple fibers having a fiber length of no less than 8.0 mm. The airlaid web is not laid on a precursor web and no adhesive, binder or thermal bonding fibers are utilized. The airlayering and hydroentangling are conducted in a continuous operation. Products may be obtained according to the method of this invention that meet municipal guidelines for flushability.
Abstract:
A flame retardant fibre blend comprising: a flame retardant fibre blend comprising: 40% to 60% by weight of a modacrylic; 5% to 25% by weight of a natural cellulosic material; and 20% to 40% by weight of a FR viscose based material; wherein any remaining weight % is made up of any one or a combination of the modacrylic, cellulosic or FR viscose or of nylon in range trace to 7% or para-aramid fibre in the range trace to 7%. The fibre blend is particularly suitable for the manufacture of a ‘universal’ fabric configured to be resistant to flame, flash fire hazard, electric discharge and molten metal hazards.

Abstract:
A flame resistant textile material comprises cellulosic fibers and inherent flame retardant fibers. The flame resistant textile material can be treated with one or more flame retardant treatments to impart flame resistance to the cellulosic fibers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a polymer composition formed from a biologically degradable polymer and a material from sea plants and/or shells of sea animals or at least two components selected from the group consisting of saccharides and the derivatives thereof, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and metal ions. The invention additionally relates to a molded article formed from the polymer composition. The molded article may be packaging material or fibrous material, in the form of fibrous material as a mixing component for the production of yarns, and in the form of fibrous material for the production of nonwoven fabrics or woven fabrics.
