Abstract: An ethylene adsorbent packaging or barrier material and method of making the same. The package or barrier comprises a textile substrate impregnated with a solution of zeolite, cross-linker and binder. The method of making the ethylene adsorbent packaging or barrier material comprises impregnating a textile substrate with a solution of zeolite powder with crosslinker and binder in a solvent at a PH of 5.0 to 7.0 adjusted with an organic acid followed by removing the excess solution from the substrate and drying and curing the substrate at 50-250° C. If desired the substrate is formed to the desired shape. The packaging can be used for packing ethylene susceptible and perishable articles. The barrier material can be used as a barrier or as a separator for ethylene gas.

Abstract: A fabric includes warp and weft yarns interwoven in a series of repeat units. In the fabric, the warp yarns comprise cotton yarns and the weft yarns comprise microdenier filament bundles. Such a fabric can provide desirable tactile properties for articles such as sheets, pillowcases, blankets and the like.

Abstract: A vertically stacked aramid set contains carded p-aramid and m-aramid fibers useful as an inner lining in fire fighting clothing.

Abstract: This invention provides corrugated fiberfill structures with improved properties and processes for making the same. This invention further provides articles made from the improved corrugated fiberfill structures of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a three dimensional batt comprising at least 70 vol. % randomly-oriented ultramicrocellular fibers mutually adhered with a thermoset adhesive binder.

Abstract: Novel spinnerets for producing multi-grooved filaments have a row of apertures connected by slots that correspond to the grooves in the periphery of the resulting filaments.

Abstract: Simultaneous drawing of mixed polyester filaments is improved by use of chain-branched polyester for the polymer from which the polyester filaments are spun.

Abstract: New copolyester composition that provides excellent filament spinning and mill/yarn processing of staple fiber into fabrics having combination of excellent pilling performance as well as aesthetics and tactility ("hand"). Preferred fibers have non-round cross-sections, especially multi-grooved and scalloped-oval cross-sections that provide fabrics having outstanding comfort qualities of moisture-management, dryness and comfort, as well as minimal pilling.

Abstract: Comfort properties of fibers of longitudinally-grooved fibers of scalloped-oval cross-section are improved by providing such fibers as a mixture of different dpf and using a cationic-dyeable alkali metal sulfonate isophthalate salt copolyester that is also modified with a chain-brancher so that the filaments of different dpf can be drawn simultaneously.

Abstract: Simultaneous drawing of mixed polyester filaments is improved by use of chain-branched polyester for the polymer from which the polyester filaments are spun.

Abstract: Slickened polyester cut fibers are provided in slivers that are suitable for processing on worsted or woollen system, and provide fabrics of improved aesthetics. The slivers may be of 100% polyester cut fiber or of blends of such fiber with wool, such as are conventionally used in worsted or wool processing from sliver to spun yarn, which is formed into fabrics and garments.

Abstract: New polyester composition for new polyester staple fiber that provides fabrics having a combination of excellent pilling performance, aesthetics and tactility ("hand"). Preferred fibers have non-round cross-sections that are retained, especially such non-round cross-sections having multi-grooved scalloped-oval cross-sections that provide fabrics having outstanding comfort qualities of moisture-management, dryness and comfort, along with minimal pilling.

Abstract: Tow that is suitable for processing on a worsted or wollen system and that consists essentially of continuous polyester filaments that have a scalloped-oval cross-section with grooves or channels that run along the length of the filaments. Such polyester tows provide improved processing on the worsted system to provide spun yarns of polyester and blends with wool, and downstream articles, such as fabrics and garments.
