Abstract:
A virus inactivating sheet is provided that can inactivate viruses adhering thereto even in the presence of lipids and proteins regardless of whether or not the viruses have an envelope. The virus inactivating sheet can inactivate viruses adhering thereto and includes a sheet body, and monovalent copper compound fine particles and/or iodide fine particles that are held by the sheet body. The virus inactivating sheet can inactivate various viruses. These viruses can be inactivated even in the presence of lipids and proteins.
Abstract:
A hemp wick is made by providing a wound ball hemp rope. The wound ball is steeped and decanted, repeatedly, in a water solvent at a temperature sufficient to reach the boiling point the water solvent so that a clear and colorless decantate of the water solution is released. The ball of rope is then dried, and the dried ball is saturated with a liquid beeswax solution which is substantially free of impurities. After saturation the beeswax saturated ball of rope is frozen. After freezing, the saturated beeswax ball of rope is unwound and cut into stripes of a predetermined length which are desirable for use in packaging of the hemp wick to be produced by the method according to the present invention.
Abstract:
A non-woven flame retardant barrier comprising a binder; and a plurality of charring fibers combinable with the binder. The charring fibers include treated viscose fibers, wherein the charring fibers are substantially free of polymers made from halogenated monomers, consist essentially of fibers exclusively having a denier of from 1.5 to 3.5, and provide a fire-blocking web upon exposure to a heat source. The barrier has a basis weight of approximately from 0.25 to 0.65 osf.
Abstract:
A gypsum-fibre composite product, wherein the gypsum appears as crystals on the surface of the fibre and wherein the gypsum crystals are obtained by contacting calcium sulphate hemihydrate and/or calcium anhydrite and an aqueous fibre suspension. Also disclosed is a process for the preparation of the gypsum-fibre composite product. The composite product can be used as a filler pigment or coating pigment in the production of paper.
Abstract:
A method of finishing a textile comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an aqueous finishing liquor comprising from 0.05 wt. % solids to 65 wt. % solids of a finishing resin selected from the group comprising: vinyl acetate emulsion resins, including copolymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions, vinyl acetate acrylics, acrylic emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol resins, including polyvinyl alcohol vinyl formamide copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol vinyl amine copolymers, sulfonic acid functionalized polyvinyl alcohol resins, modified polyvinyl alcohol resins generally; and mixtures thereof; (b) saturating the textile with the finishing liquor to incorporate the liquor into the textile so as to provide a wetted textile; and (c) processing the wetted textile at elevated temperature under conditions which are controlled such that the finishing resin is inter-associated with the fibers of the textile; wherein the finishing resin is durably and uniformly inter-associated with the textile fiber surfaces at an add-on level of from 0.05 wt. % to less than 65 wt. % and is operative to alter at least one comfort-related property of the textile.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photocatalytic fiber which excels in durability, and decomposition ability against harmful components and can be mass-produced at low cost, a fabric using the fiber, and a fabric product using the fabric. The photocatalytic fiber of the present invention contains a photocatalyst being attached to the fiber. The fiber is preferably having an aspect of forming a thread to which the photocatalyst being attached by spinning after dipping the fiber in a solution at least containing the photocatalyst, an aspect of forming the thread to which the photocatalyst being attached by dipping the fiber in the solution containing at least the photocatalyst after spinning, and an aspect wherein the photocatalyst is a photocatalytic apatite. The fabric of the present invention is characterized by using the photocatalytic fiber. The fabric product of the present invention is characterized by using the fabric.
Abstract:
High absorbency lyocell fibers are obtainable by hydrothermal treatment. The fibers can be treated with water at temperatures of at least 60° C. to provide lyocell fibers that can be formed into a random fibrous plug having a mass of 2 g, a density of 0.4 g/cm3, and a diameter of 25 mm which has a GAT Absorbency (at 15 min.) of at least about 3.7 g/g.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the cloning and high level expression of novel cellulase proteins or derivatives thereof in the in a host cell. Further aspects of the present invention relate to transformants that express the novel cellulases, and expression vectors comprising the DNA gene fragments or variants thereof that code for the novel cellulases derived from Actinomycete using genetic engineering techniques. The present invention is also directed to novel cellulase compositions and methods of use therefore in industrial processes. In particular, the present invention is related to treating textiles with a novel cellulase derived from Actinomycete spp. The present invention also relates to the use of cellulase derived from Actinomycete spp. to enhance the digestibility of animal feed, in detergents, in the treatment of pulp and paper and in the production of starch and treatment of by-products thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to cross-linked cellulosic fiber having improved absorbency characteristics when compared to conventional cross-linked fibers. The cross-linked cellulosic fiber is obtainable by reacting pulp in the sheet or fluff form with one or more reagents selected from organic molecule having acid and aldehyde functional groups “acid aldehydes.” The invention also relates to a method of producing the cross-linked fiber. The method includes heating the treated cellulosic fibers to promote intrafiber cross-linking. The cross-linked fibers are characterized by having an improved centrifuge retention capacity, fluid acquisition rate, resiliency, absorbent capacity, absorbency under load, and other absorbent properties. The inventive cross-linked fibers are useful in forming absorbent composites, and in particular absorbent cores for use in absorbent articles.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to polymer blends having controlled flow properties. The polymer blends can be useful in various applications including bonding systems and additive delivery systems, which can provide durable binding and/or delivery and/or affixing of additives. The polymer blends can include at least two different components, at least one being a polymer component having a higher molecular than the other of the components. When heated to an activating temperature, the resultant blend exhibits desirable flow or wet out properties without applied pressure. Despite the controlled flow properties, the blends do not exhibit blocking or fusing properties typically associated with high flow polymer materials.
