Publication number: 20220079164Abstract: The invention relates to the field of individual hygiene and in particular disinfecting nonwoven articles. A dry antibacterial article comprising at least a dispersible nonwoven layer is characterized in that unprotected and dry bacterial spores are spread within the nonwoven layer, said spores being selected to specifically inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria upon reactivation. The invention further relates to the use of the antibacterial article, a dispenser for wipes made from the article as well as manufacturing processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicants: TWE MEULEBEKE, HYGINN BVBAInventors: Vincent DE SMEDT, Dany MICHIELS, Véronique DECAMBRAY, Sarah LEBEER, Dieter VANDENHEUVEL

Publication number: 20210322232Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-layered non-woven structures being useful as components of disposable absorbent articles and garments comprising super absorbent particles and thereby acts as a core. The invention thereby ensures that the body fluids can penetrate from a first layer, which acts as an acquisition layer, up to a third layer comprising SAP particles, the second non-woven layer serving to decrease the fluid volume per surface unit, as a conventional dispersion layer. However the second layer of the invention additionally acts like a non-return valve, preventing, or at least strongly limiting, any fluid transfer from the third layer to the first layer. Channels free of SAP can additionally be design to improve the inlet and rewet properties of the multilayer acquisition and distribution sheet non-woven material.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2018Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: TWE MEULEBEKEInventors: Dany MICHIELS, Véronique DECAMBRAY

Patent number: 10905604Abstract: The present invention relates to a unitary absorbent structure and method thereof wherein said unitary absorbent structure comprises an absorbent core (5) and/or an acquisition and dispersion layers (2) (3) and comprising at least one non-woven fibrous substrate layer (23) having a void volume suitable to be penetrated by super absorbent particles. The super absorbent particles are dispersed in the substrate layer (23) according to a size distribution gradient by vacuum (8?) and vibration along the depth direction or z-direction of said absorbent core (5) and/or acquisition (2) and dispersion (3) layers, the smaller particles are placed on the bodyside of the absorbent articles and the larger particles are located on the opposite side of the absorbent articles.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: LibeltexInventors: Dany Michiels, Tanika Degrande, Sara Vanwalleghem

Publication number: 20200247185Abstract: This invention relates to tacky finishes and to the textile materials and articles treated with the tacky finishes. The tacky finishes provide improved processing features for end-use articles that contain such finishes. The tacky finish may be combined with other adhesion promotion finishes in the treatment of textile materials. The textile materials and articles may be used as rubber reinforcing materials, such as automotive tire cap ply, single end tire cord, carcass reinforcement and side wall reinforcement. End-use articles that contain the treated textile materials include rubber-containing materials such as automobile tires, belts, and hoses. This invention also relates to the methods for manufacturing the treated textile materials and articles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2020Publication date: August 6, 2020Applicant: Milliken & CompanyInventors: Dany Michiels, Shulong Li, Sofie A.
