The invention describes a velour needle-punched nonwoven material, which is produced by placing an optionally pre-strengthened nonwoven material on a brush-like stitch base and needling of the nonwoven on this stitch base. The velour needle-punched nonwoven material according to the invention is characterized in that the nonwoven material comprises a spun-bound nonwoven with filaments, wherein the filaments comprise multicomponent filaments with at least one component with a high melting point and at least one thermally activatable component with a low melting point. The velour needle-punched nonwoven material according to the invention not only has excellent mechanical properties, it is also particularly compatible with the environment and health and therefore suited for applications as a textile lining not only in the private field, but particularly in the public domain.

Velour needle-punched nonwoven material and use thereof

A reusable cleaning cloth for damp and dry cleaning of surfaces. The cloth is made of a textile base layer of non-woven fibers and, on the surface that provides the cleaning action, a plurality of filament loops which project out of this surface. The filament loops are concentrated in spaced apart surface regions separate from one another, like islands, by non-linear border lines delineating channels that are essentially free of filament loops. In its finished form, the island-like areas with the filament loops project 0.5 to 5 mm out of the base surface. The islands are aligned to be equidirectionally staggered relative to one another, each having a length of 4 to 50 mm with a corresponding width of 2 to 10 mm. The channels which separate the islands are as broad as one to two of these islands in the region between the adjacent long sides of the islands and narrow in the region of the adjacent ends of the islands.
