Abstract: A fabric made of interwoven twines, wherein, in each case, two yarns are twisted together to form a twine and at least one of the yarns contains polyester staple fibers and cellulosic staple fibers of the types lyocell, viscose and/or modal, the share of cellulosic staple fibers in the fabric ranging from 10% by weight to 90% by weight. The fabric according to the invention is characterized in that the fabric or, respectively, those of the yarns contained therein which contain polyester staple fibers and cellulosic staple fibers as well as the twines produced therefrom comply with two relationships from which the suitability of the fabric for applications in automobiles, particularly in automobile seats, results.

Abstract: The invention relates to a foam element with a hydrophilic substance incorporated in the foam in the form of cellulose of the structure type based on the crystal modification of cellulose-II, and the foam element incorporating the cellulose has a reversible capacity to absorb moisture. A proportion of the cellulose is between 0.1% by weight and 10% by weight. A value of the foam moisture corresponding to an equilibrium moisture in a first ambient atmosphere is increased during use in a second ambient atmosphere. The moisture absorbed by the cellulose II after use evaporates again within a period of between 1 hour and 16 hours until the initial value of the foam moisture corresponding to the equilibrium moisture by reference to the ambient first atmosphere is restored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to readily meterable pellets of cellulosic staple fibers, their use to produce compound materials by mixing these into a polymer melt and a process for the production of these pellets in which the staple fibers are pressed in a shaping device through shaping channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulating material which comprises a first layer of an essentially non-hygroscopic fiber material and a second layer of an essentially hygroscopic fiber material, said first layer being located adjacent said first zone and said second layer being located adjacent said second zone. The insulating material is characterized in that said first and said second layer are made of a highloft nonwoven material with a density of from 5 to 125 kg/m3.
