Abstract
There is provided an abrasion resistant, oil absorbing fabric comprising at least one layer of fine microfibers having an average diameter of at least 10 samples of between about 1 and 7 microns bonded with at least one layer of coarse microfibers having an average diameter of at least 10 samples of between about 8 and 23 microns wherein said fabric has a basis weight between about 190 and 407 gsm and has not been secondarily bonded, except, if desired, the fabric may be pin bonded. Such a fabric has been found to be well suited to use as an oil absorbent floor mat. It has further been found that such a fabric has sufficient integrity to withstand wringing out in order to reclaim absorbed fluids.
