  • Publication number: 20060026731
    Abstract: The invention is a high visibility safety garment comprising a spunbonded nonwoven fabric colored with a fluorescent dye or pigment. The spunbonded nonwoven fabric in some embodiments may comprise continuous filaments of polyester that are thermally bonded together. Safety garments prepared in accordance with the invention are lightweight, flexible, and meet the requirements of ANSI 107-1999 for luminance, chromaticity, colorfastness, and durability. The safety garment in some embodiments may be in the form of a vest having multiple stripes of retroreflective material.

  • Patent number: 6926931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual performance cleaning article, wherein said cleaning article is comprised of a first abrasive meltblown surface that facilitates the process of loosening particulates, such as dust and dirt, and an opposing second soft, air permeable surface, which is capable of absorbing and/or picking up particulates and liquids. The meltblown layer comprises coarse discontinuous filamentary elements, formed from adjusting the variable commonly utilized in the traditional meltblown method.

  • Publication number: 20040105965
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleaning laminate comprising two functionally diverse surfaces, wherein said first surface is formed from an abrasive nonwoven fabric layer, which facilitates the process of loosening particulates, such as dust and dirt, and said second surface is formed from an air permeable, absorbent nonwoven fabric layer, which exhibits a lower coefficient of friction as compared to the abrasive side. The abrasive nonwoven fabric layer is selected from such materials that provide a coarse quality, as perceived as a resistance to deflection.
