Abstract: The invention relates to a cellular cellulosic wiping material consisting of a cellular cellulosic substrate covered on at least one side with an expanded latex foam obtained from an aqueous latex composition having a viscosity of between 2500 and 3500 mPa.s, measured at 20.degree. C. under 65% humidity, and giving a foam density of between 250 and 400 g/l.
Abstract: A pad which can be abrasive, scouring or both, is formed as a block of foam between two nonwovens. The foam is a polyurethane foam and the nonwovens are based on a mixture of polyamide and polyester fibers. The polyamide fibers have physical properties similar to those of the polyurethane foam. The nonwovens and the foam block are bonded together at their periphery by thermal-welding. The pad can be coated with abrasive fillers. It can also be used for scouring delicate surfaces when it contains little or no abrasive fillers.
