An integrated nonwoven laminate material suitable for use as a filter medium having a microfiber layer integrated with a low loft multicomponent spunbond layer and a high loft multicomponent spunbond layer and a method of producing the integrated nonwoven laminate material. In one embodiment of this invention, a laminate material is through-air bonded to form an integrated nonwoven laminate material which is then electret treated to enhance attraction between particles being filtered and the fibers of the integrated nonwoven laminate material. In one embodiment of this invention, the integrated nonwoven laminate material is used as a filter having an ASHRAE Standard 52. 1-1992 Dust Spot Efficiency of about 40% to about 95% and an ASHRAE Standard 52. 2-1999 MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) of 12 to 16.

The present invention relates to an insulation article having a core of an insulation material encased within a fabric material. The fabric material is prepared from thermoplastic fibers having an average fiber diameter less than about 12 microns. Examples of the fabric material include woven, knit or nonwoven materials. The insulation material may be any conventional insulation material, including foams and fibrous materials. Examples of uses for the encased insulation material of the present invention include architectural applications such as attics, basements and crawl spaces in homes, commercial buildings and in heating, venting and air conditioning systems (HVAC), around appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, clothes washing machines and the like, in vehicles such as cars, trucks, trains, airplanes and the like.

A polish having improved properties is generally disclosed. In one embodiment, the polish can include a preservative that resists the growth of organisms, such as mold, fungus, bacteria, and the like, even after extended periods of nonuse. Additionally, the polish can be incorporated or impregnated into a mitt to form an all in one treating device. For example, the all in one treating device can be impregnated with a polish in at least one surface. In one embodiment, the polish can resist wicking or other migration from its application area to other parts of the all in one treatment device.

The present invention relates to a composite structure which is capable of use as a filter medium and a method for producing the same. The composite structure contains at least a first nonwoven layer, said first layer having a first surface and a second surface, as well as a rigidifying or stiffening component. The rigidifying component is applied in semi-molten state to the one surface of the nonwoven layer and provides sufficient stiffness and/or resilience to the composite such that the composite is self-pleatable yet retains flexibility. The rigidifying or stiffening component may be filaments of a polymer or polymer blend or alternatively the rigidifying or stiffening component may also be a wax or wax blend.

An algae-based thermoplastic composition is provided that includes a protein-rich algae biomass selected from either microalgae, macroalgae or combinations thereof. The protein content is greater than or equal to 15% by weight of the algae biomass and the algae biomass is dried to a moisture content of less than or equal to 15% by weight and having a particle d99 of up to 200 microns. The dried algae biomass is at least 5% by weight of the thermoplastic composition. The composition includes a biodegradable resin configured to exhibit rheological properties suitable for blending with algae including a melting temperature less than 250 C. and a melt flow rate in excess of 0.01 g/10 min.
