Abstract:
A film is made from a wet laid product containing cellulose fibers and cellulose ester fibers and a plasticizer. The film can be made by heat pressing the wet laid sheet to form a film having a continuous phase of cellulose ester resin and a discontinuous phase of cellulose fibers.
Abstract:
Provided are: a fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles, which includes moisture, modified cellulose, and fragrance such that fragrance can be dissolved at room temperature without a heating process; and a smoking article including the same.
Abstract:
A fiber blend comprising a staple fiber formed from cellulose acetate and a binder fiber. The staple fiber has a crimp frequency of 10 to 30 crimps per inch (CPI), a cut length of 55 mm or less, and a non-round cross-sectional shape. The blend can be made into nonwoven webs for heat-bonding and subsequent use as thermal insulation in, e.g., outerwear, bedding, etc. The cellulose acetate fibers provide superior thermal insulation clo value relative to at equivalent loft.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions comprising cellulose fibers and cellulose ester fibers and wet laid articles made from the compositions, as well as wet laid processes to produce these compositions. More specifically, the present invention provided compositions comprising cellulose fibers and cellulose acetate fibers and wet laid articles made from these compositions as well as wet laid processes to produce these compositions. The present invention also relates to developing a composition, process, wet laid product, or articles exhibiting any one of many desired benefits. This invention also relates to a biodegradable bag.

The present invention provides compositions comprising cellulose fibers and cellulose ester fibers and wet laid articles made from the compositions, as well as wet laid processes to produce these compositions. More specifically, the present invention provided compositions comprising cellulose fibers and cellulose acetate fibers and wet laid articles made from these compositions as well as wet laid processes to produce these compositions. The present invention also relates to developing a composition, process, wet laid product, or articles exhibiting any one of many desired benefits. Specifically, a wet laid process comprising a process that allows the quantity of water removed from a web passed through press rolls is increased relative to a web made from a 100% cellulose comparative composition or any composition without cellulose ester staple fibers co-refined with cellulose at the same press loading
Abstract:

The media includes a paper base having a MD/CD tensile stiffness index ratio of less than 2.0 and a tensile energy absorption index of greater than 500 J/Kg. The paper base includes a mixture of fibers having a softwood fiber to hardwood fiber ratio within a range of 3 to 7 to 7 to 1, an internal starch having a cationic starch to fiber ratio greater than 1.0%, and a filler within a range of about 1.0% to about 12.0% of paper base weight. The media further includes an image receiving coating on a side of the paper base.
Abstract:
A modified sorptive lignocellulosic fibre material with hydroxyl groups on the lignocellulosic fibres doubly modified by esterification with a combination of monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acid ester groups. A process for the preparation of the sorptive material. The sorptive fibre material is effective for the removal of oils and other contaminants including heavy metals from a fluid such as contaminated water by a combined sorption of hydrophobic contaminants and ion exchange.
Abstract:
A process to form a nonwoven, wet-laid, superabsorbent, polymer particle-impregnated fibrous structure on a commercial scale wet-forming machine having a head box, a forming section and a drying section, includingadding SAP to water under and within 5 seconds of the SAP water contact,providing agitation of at least 4000 Reynolds units thereby dispersing ungelled SAP particles throughout the fiber furnish,delivering the furnish to a moving foraminous support, forming a wet laid web containing wetted SAP particles, draining of water from the moving wet web, and conveying the web to the dryer section,wherein the maximum elapsed time from the point where SAP is mixed with water to the time the web passes into the dryer section is less than 45 seconds.
Abstract:
A sensible and latent heat exchange or adsorbent media formed from an improved desiccant or adsorbent paper having higher strength and thinner gauge to provide increased area of media, the media having a multiplicity of passageways therethrough through which an air stream can flow. The improved desiccant or adsorbent paper is comprised of fibrillated organic fibers formed to provide an improved support material having improved levels of strength and higher levels of desiccant or adsorbent material contained in the improved fibrous support material to provide the improved paper. The improved desiccant paper is capable of adsorbing or transferring sensible heat from a warm air stream and releasing or transferring the absorbed sensible heat into a cool air stream as the air stream flows though the sensible and latent heat exchange media. Further, the desiccant or adsorbent material is capable of adsorbing moisture from a humid air stream flowing through the sensible and latent heat exchange media and capable of releasing the adsorbed moisture into a dry air stream flowing through the passageways of the sensible and latent heat exchange media.
Abstract:
A composition of paper comprising 99 to 10 weight percent cellulose fibers and 1 to 90 weight percent cored cellulose fibers that are uniformly dispersed within the paper. The cored cellulose fibers are composed of a cellulose sheath that is 4 to 15 weight percent of the weight of the fiber and a cellulose acetate core. The cored cellulose fibers contain no substantial crimp and have an average length of 1 to 7 mm, a density of 1.20 to about 1.35 gm/cc, a denier 1 to 30 grams per 9,000 meters and a uniform dispersion index of less than 0.15.
