Abstract: A method of making a substantially flexible dry matrix capable of removing dust, organic film or both, to which no water has been added other than that naturally present therein, said matrix possessing anti-static properties and being capable of removing dust and retaining said dust on the surface threreof comprising uniformly contacting said which comprises passing a continuous line of a matrix material comprising (a) natural or synthetic woven, non-woven or knitted fibers, or (b) flexible foam material or combinations thereof with between an engraved roll and a smooth roll, said engraved roll containing a non aqueous treatment solution on the surface thereof; coating said matrix material with an effective amount of a non-aqueous treatment solution sufficient to allow said matrix to retain its substantially flexible dry characteristics and to remove said dust and organic film; said non-aqueous treatment solution comprising by weight between about 25% and 75% of at least one glycol compound and between about

Abstract: A substantially flexible dry wipe capable of cleaning a surface by removing dust and/or organic film and rendering the surface substantially static-free comprising a matrix comprising natural or synthetic, woven, non-woven or knitted fibers, or a flexible foam material, said matrix having been uniformly coated with an amount of treatment solution sufficient to allow said matrix to retain its substantially dry characteristics, said solution comprising between about 25% and 75% of at least one glycol compound, between about 0.2% and 60% of a cationic surfactant, and optionally up to about 45% of a nonionic surfactant may be added to the treatment solution. When removing organic film, the wipe is contacted with water and used to wash the surface, and can then be wrung out and used to wipe the surface dry.

Abstract: A breathable, laminate fabric which is impervious to water, aqueous solutions and organic solvents comprising a base layer formed from a porous, absorbent material which is bonded at spaced points to a second layer comprised of a series of parallel strips, impervous to water, aqueous solutions and organic liquids, said straips being disposed transversely to the edges of said underlying base layer, said strips having leading and trailing edges, and extending longitudually along said base layer in an overlapping manner such that the leading edge of one strip overlaps the trailing edge of the next succeeding strip in the series, said base layer or said second layer being comprised of a thermoplastic material.
