Abstract: An apparatus or kit for applying a predictable amount of liquid such as a surgical prepping solution to an applicator having a resilient, porous pad. The apparatus includes a receptacle having an internal space such that when the pad is placed within the space, the pad is compressed to a predetermined degree. The receptacle is attached to a bottle or other container holding surgical prepping solution. In one embodiment, a dip tube extends from an inlet near the bottom of the bottle to an outlet positioned within the internal space of the receptacle. Most preferably, the outlet extends into the internal space of the receptacle. Pressurizing the bottle dispenses liquid through the dip tube onto the applicator. A method of use of the kit or apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A liner for diskettes comprised of a nonwoven material which is thermally bonded in a closed cell pattern and which contains a binder material in amounts no greater than 1% by weight of fibers. This diskette liner shows debris reduction while not showing significant increase in flexural rigidity.

Abstract: A release liner comprising:(a) a reinforced, non-woven sheet composite comprising two layers, one of the layers being composed of a plurality of substantially randomly orientated fibers and the other layer being composed of substantially lineally-aligned fibrous reinforcement material; and(b) a release layer on one or more of the layers of the non-woven sheet composite, the release layer comprising at least one of the following: an olefinic homopolymer, an olefinic copolymer, or a copolymer of an olefin and a polar comonomer.
