US Classification:

442382, 442414, 428219

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a unitary absorbent core including a first fibrous absorbent layer of (a) natural fibers, synthetic fibers or a mixture thereof, (b) a binder which is a synthetic binder fiber or powder, a hydrophilic emulsion polymer binder or a mixture thereof, the fibrous absorbent layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface in contact, optionally coextensively in contact, with an upper surface of a synthetic carrier which has a lower surface integral with a first hydrophobic vapor-transmissive moisture barrier. The present invention is also directed to a receptacle for food incorporating the unitary absorbent core. The present invention is also directed to a filter element incorporating the unitary absorbent core.

Buckeye Technologies Inc. - Memphis TN

International Classification:

E04B 1/82

US Classification:

181290, 181208, 181286

Abstract:

An improved acoustically and thermally insulating fire-retardant composite material suitable for use in structures such as buildings, appliances, and the interior passenger compartments and exterior components of automotive vehicles is provided. The material is comprised of at least one airlaid fibrous layer of controlled density and composition and incorporating suitable binding agents and additives as needed to meet expectations for noise abatement, fire-retardancy, and mildew resistance. Separately, an airlaid structure which provides a reduced, controlled airflow therethrough useful for acoustic insulation is provided, and which includes a woven or nonwoven scrim. A process for the production of the fire retardant nonwoven material is also provided.
