  • Process of making a cleaning implement comprising functionally active fibers
    Patent number: 8894907
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method of forming functionally active fibers and substrates formed with functionally active fibers. The method includes forming a mixture of at least one polymer and at least one functional active. The mixture is then injected at a controlled flow rate into an electric field to cause the mixture to at least partially form fine fibers that have an average diameter of less than about 1000 nanometers.
    Type: Grant

  • POST CONVERSION NONWOVENS PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20080014818
    Abstract: A method of treated a nonwoven substrate after the normal conversion process to generate modification to the Z dimension. The method can be accomplished either before or after placing the substrate in a consumer container. The method can be accomplished by the consumer. The treatment can be the application of heat to increase the thickness of the substrate. The result can be a product combination of a canister containing a roll of wipes where the thickness of the wipes is enhanced prior to loading with a cleaning formulation.

  • NON-WOVENS INCORPORATING AVIAN BY-PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20080003914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-woven web comprising fibers and feathers for use as a substrate for cleaning articles. The non-woven web may be created using a variety of non-woven processing techniques and bonding treatments to bond the fibers. The non-woven web is made by combination of variety of fiber types and feathers in varying proportions which create non-woven webs with varying levels of loft, weight, tensile strength, absorbency and abrasiveness.
