Abstract: Meltblown sheets suitable as wet wipes, containing from about 100 to about 700 weight percent liquid, exhibit liquid concentration stability over long periods of time. Stacks of these sheets maintain substantially equal liquid concentrations from the top to the bottom of the stack notwithstanding evaporation losses through the top of the stack.

Abstract: Layered meltblown abrasive sheets, suitable as wet wipes, exhibit liquid concentration stability over long periods of time. Stacks of these sheets maintain equal liquid concentration from the top to the bottom of the stack notwithstanding evaporation losses through the top of the stack.

Abstract: Fuel articles having a covering layer thereover, wherein the covering layer serves as an ignition material for the underlying fuel element, and may be spaced from the underlying fuel element. Preferred fuel articles have charcoal compositions in the underlying fuel element and the covering layer is fibrous. The covering layer may be spaced from the fuel element by means of bridging concavities in the fuel element itself, by providing intermediate spacing elements within a concavity of the fuel element, or by providing a spacing material between the fuel element and the covering layer, not necessarily at a location of concavity in the fuel element. The covering layer may have a variety of compositions, and may be overlain by one or more additional layers. The invention further provides methods of manufacturing the fuel articles disclosed as well as methods of using them.

Abstract: Polyolefin meltblown sheets suitable as wet wipes, containing from about 100 to about 500 weight percent liquid, exhibit liquid concentration stability over long periods of time. Stacks of these sheets maintain equal liquid concentration from the top to the bottom of the stack notwithstanding evaporation losses through the top of the stack.
