  • Patent number: 11280033
    Abstract: The invention refers to a cover nonwoven for an interior lining for a vehicle, comprising a nonwoven fabric consisting of at least two nonwoven layers, a first nonwoven layer and a second nonwoven layer, wherein a first outer surface of the nonwoven fabric is formed by a surface of the first nonwoven layer and a second outer surface of the nonwoven fabric is formed by a surface of the second nonwoven layer, and wherein the first nonwoven layer and the second nonwoven layer are inseparably bonded on the entire surface. According to the invention, the first nonwoven layer is formed of a rough polypropylene spunlaced nonwoven and the second nonwoven layer is formed of a dense polypropylene spun-bonded nonwoven, wherein the first outer surface of the nonwoven fabric is suitable for the application of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and wherein the second outer surface of the nonwoven fabric has hydrophobic properties.

  • Patent number: 7326272
    Abstract: A multilayer, pleatable, filter material is made of at least one melt-blown, fleece layer and at least one carded, fleece layer that are attached to one another without use of adhesives for filtering solid particles out of fluids, in particular, filtering solid particles out of gases, where the carded fleece has compacted and uncompacted sections, the melt-blown fleece is preferably attached to the carded fleece at the latter's uncompacted sections by means of multimicrofilament strands, and the filter material contains micropockets for storing dust.

  • Patent number: 6966939
    Abstract: The invention describes a multi-layer filter structure and the use of a multi-layer filter structure for the dust removal from gases, wherein a coarse dust filter layer, a fine dust filter layer, and a support layer are disposed behind one another in the direction from the inflow side to the outflow side, and which is designed such that the fiber diameter distribution within the coarse dust filter layer and fine dust filter layer has a gradient, and that the fiber diameters of the coarse dust filter layer and fine dust filter layer continually decrease from the inflow side to the outflow side. This multi-layer filter structure may be used in a filter cassette for industrial dust removal, as well as in a stationary or mobile home dust cleaning device.
