Abstract: A thermo-bonded non-woven fibrous wipe material is described, in which at least some of the fibres are regenerated plant-protein fibres. Also described is a method of making such a thermo-bonded fibrous non-woven wipe material, comprising the steps of forming a non-woven web of fibres, the web containing heat-sensitive material, and applying heat to the web to melt the heat-sensitive material and thereby cause fibres in the web to be bonded together; wherein at least some of the fibres are regenerated plant-protein fibres. The regenerated plant-protein fibres may comprise soybean protein.

Abstract: A method of making a bulletin board is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing an image-bearing substrate having an image on at least one major surface; (b) providing a transparent substrate having on one major surface thereof a first pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) that is a repositionable PSA, and having on the opposite major surface thereof a second PSA; (c) applying the transparent substrate on the image of adhering the transparent sheet thereto by the second PSA.

Abstract: A hand-held scouring product is disclosed. The hand-held scouring product is hand-sized in three dimensions and, throughout. The hand-held scouring product consists essentially of abrasive material comprising non-woven, autogenously-bonded fibres.

Abstract: A pad assembly comprising, a plurality of flexible rectangular sheets (42), each sheet being generally of the same size and said sheets (42) having front (41) and rear (43) surfaces and peripheral edges including first (15) and second (16) opposite edges, said sheets having a band (40) of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive coated on said rear surface (43) for adhering adjacent sheets together Said stripes (40) being substantially parallel to the first (15) and second (16) edges and being spaced by a first predetermined spacing (1) from said first edge (15) and by a second predetermined spacing (2) from said second edge (16), wherein the ratio between the spacing from the edge (19) of the band (40) closest to said first edge (15) to said first edge and the spacing from the edge (20) of the band (40) closest to said second edge to said second edge (16) is in the range of 0.1 to 10.
