Abstract

The present disclosure relates to moisture absorbent materials, including films and foams, formed from a substantially homogeneous blend of a water-soluble/ swellable polymer and an aromatic thermoplastic polyurethane. The materials also include fine particles of a superabsorbent material. The materials expand when contacted by moisture but retract when they dry. The films can be used in combination with protective face masks to capture the moisture from breath exhaled by a person wearing the mask before the moisture can leave the mask, so the moisture causes substantially less condensation and fog on surfaces adjacent to the mask, such as eyeglasses.

Abstract

A dispenser for dispensing a metered dose of foam or liquid from a reservoir includes means for applying gas pressure either directly or indirectly to a liquid contained in the reservoir for dispensing a liquid or foam through a nozzle. Instead of using a direct pump, the dispenser uses gas pressure inside the dispenser that pushes the liquid out of the reservoir without coming into contact with the reservoir. The dispenser can include a battery operated gas pressure pump and a sensor that senses pressure within the dispenser. In one aspect, an actuator can open a valve for dispensing metered doses of a liquid or foam.

Abstract

A nonwoven material is disclosed that contains deconstructed material obtained from recycled textile waste. The textile waste is deconstructed in a way that produces freed fibers and freed yarn sections. The combination of the freed fibers and the freed yarn sections can greatly enhance the properties of the nonwoven material.

Abstract

Disclosed are non-wood pulps having a fiber length greater than about 1.70 mm and a brightness of about 80% or greater. The relatively high degree of brightness is achieved without a loss of fiber length or pulp yield. The high degree of brightness and relatively long fiber length make the pulps well suited for the manufacture of wet-laid fibrous products, particularly wet-laid tissue products. The pulps may be prepared from plants of the family Asparagaceae by mechanical pulping and more preferably by a chemi-mechanical pulping using a sodium hydroxide alkaline peroxide solution where the primary pulp is cleaned to reduce debris prior to bleaching. Preferably the cleaned primary pulp has less than about 5 wt % debris prior to bleaching.
