Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method for making a nonwoven cleaning material using melamine fibers. The method involves carding the melamine fibers and then either hydroentangling them or needlepunching a web made of melamine fibers. The resulting material is a durable, cost-effective, and efficient cleaner that requires no additional chemicals and can be used with water alone. It performs as well as melamine foam blocks and is more durable. The use of melamine fibers in this material also results in improved flexibility and softness.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is the melamine fibers which are important, and the actual amount can be varied based on the nature of the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning difficulty expected, and the material cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The invention relates to a cleaning or surface preparation substrate containing melamine fibers combined with other fibers in a spunlace needlepunch or wet laid nonwoven process. Fibrous melamine is well suited for use in a wide variety of surface preparation, scrubbing, cleaning and wiping applications including household, janitorial, food service, industrial, medical, dental, automotive, flooring or any other end uses where a pliable and effective removal or cleaning substrate is needed. While this substrate can be produced from a variety of fabric formations including airlaid, wetlaid, stitch bond, melt blown and others, a preferred needlepunch nonwoven configuration comprises melamine fibers blended with fibers like viscose rayon, Tencel®, polyester, nylon, wood pulp, polypropylene, bicomponents and others.

[0019]Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Melamine fiber is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance ...

Abstract

Provided is a nonwoven surface preparation or cleaning material comprising melamine fibers and a process for preparing the material. The nonwoven material, in one embodiment, comprises from 20 to 100% by weight melamine fibers. Other synthetic and natural fibers can be used in conjunction with the melamine fibers. However, it is the melamine fibers which are important, and the actual amount can be varied based on the nature of the surface to be cleaned, cleaning difficulty and material cost.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 755,201, filed Jan. 22, 2013 and 61 / 889,803, filed Oct. 11, 2013, which applications are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent appropriate, a claim of priority is made to each of the above disclosed applications.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to nonwoven surface preparation and cleaning materials. More specifically, the present invention relates to nonwoven surface preparation and cleaning materials comprising melamine fibers.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Nonwoven cleaning pads are well known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 1,852,114 discloses a renewable surface dust cloth that is composed of a plurality of thin, fibrous, loosely compacted layers.[0006]U.S. Pat. No. 8,152,929 describes cleaning a surface by rubbing the surface with a non-abrasive fabric comprised of a multitude of nonwoven polyest...
